It's been a damn good 24 hours, if I do say so myself. Despite losing $100 in brutal fashion at Paul's ring game last night (it's still quite painful to talk about and I promised myself I wouldn't share any poker stories on this blog, particularly bad beat stories, which are just a waste of time), I had a great time with the fiance and our friends. However, today was particularly special, thanks to my good friend Dylan.
A few weeks ago, he mentioned that he was looking to upgrade his flat-screen TV. I was the first to jump in and offer to buy his old one (which is still in great nick, I might add) and we agreed to do the deal. I picked it up from his place and after hanging out with him all day, I drove home (stopping in to pick up my fiance from work, of course) before rearranging the TVs.
This means that Dylan's old 42" Samsung is now in our room and our 36" Samsung is now in the office. Well, my office/man-cave. And the beauty about these flat-screen technological marvels is that they are also more than capable of acting as a computer monitor. I can now say that LandoNation is on TV in high-definition widescreen!
It's certainly going to make multi-tabling online poker a lot easier and if there's a glaring mistake in any of my work, I'll be able to pick it up much more quickly, that's for sure! Now all I need to do is actually upgrade a few more things (in particular, my keyboard, my webcam and my home PC - at the moment the laptop is hooked up as the "hard drive" to this TV) and this home office/man-cave will be totally "balla" (baller?) as the cool kids say these days.
"We gotta move these refrigerators ... we gotta move these colour TVs ..."
As much as some people (including my fiance) may think it's a little ridiculous, but still, even she admits it's going to be awesome watching Blu-Ray movies on 42" of pure visual awesomeness. Although I'm a little envious about Dylan's upgrade - 55", if you don't mind!
Anyhoo ... I know that I've been really slack in terms of the content I've put up on the blog this week, but with all that's been going on, it's kept me really busy. Not to mention this humid weather (seriously, to the person that's still doing the rain dance, please stop) is not helping either me or my fiance get a good night's rest.
And given I have another dealing gig tomorrow afternoon and Sunday fully booked with the better half (we're celebrating our Valentine's Day then as we'll both be working on the next day), I'll be back on Monday, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed once again. Until then, have a good weekend!
