So, some girl I’m pretty sure I don’t know added me as a facebook friend today. She seems to know a number of people I know, but I’m still not seeing the connection. Maybe I’m just a dick and don’t remember her when I really should? What is it; accept or reject? In the mean time, I plan to track down why she knows me …
P.S. Sorry, random post, but really don’t have much else. Exciting life I live huh?
Ok woodworker expert folks.
I’ve been doing some sanding… I used 120 grit on the belt sander to even up the mallet heads (the cross sections are now rectangular). I have half of the heads done at 150 grit with my orbital palm sander.
The question is what grits should I use to finish them up. The stain suggests that you sand to at least 280 grit… so should I go 150, 200, 250, 300 or 150,180,200,220,250,280,300 or ???
Obviously, I don’t want to just do 150 then 300, but how anal should I really be?
Looking at the games these last two weeks, I’ve concluded that poker is crap. Well, at least two-hour games are, anyway – sometimes you have good cards and you win $$, sometimes you don’t and you lose. The only question is how much you can take advantage of the good times and limit the losses, since the law of averages really doesn’t work over only 2 hours. Last time I got really nice cards, played relatively tightly, and doubled my cash, but there have been months where I never saw an ace.
Anyway, Wojciechowski has some funny newbie comments on ESPN’s Page 2, in particular this quote made me chuckle:
Hellmuth reviews his top 10 favorite hands to play, his betting methods, his theories on reading an opponent. “The difference between the great and the greatest is the ability to read the opposition,” he says… I take lots of notes. And perhaps one day I’ll actually understand what most of it means. Reads? I’ve been married to my wife Cheryl for 10 years and I still don’t know that when she says, “Really, honey, I don’t need anything for my birthday,” that it really means, “Tiffany’s. Blue box. If you don’t buy it you’ll be eating corned-beef hash for the remainder of the millenium.”
Score!
I just received the tickets I pre-purchased for the following perfromances at the HOP this next year, and they’re all at least 4th row or better, center front section!
Wayne Shorter Quartet – 9/30
Dave Douglas Quintet – 10/15
Wynton Marsalis – 10/25
Virginia Rodrigues – 10/28
Maria Schneider Orchestra – 1/21
Los Cojolites & Son de Madera – 3/30
João Bosco & Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio – 4/22
Spanish Harlem Orchestra – 4/27
An Evening with Sarah Vowell – 4/28
Pamyua – 5/12
As y’all can see, my tastes run (perhaps unsurprisingly) towards the jazz and latin music shows. Also, I have two student tickets for each show, so folks interested in my extra one should feel free speak for it; the fair market price of $5 will be the going rate.
