Ululation

* Well, I got to work this morning, and my new screamin' slingshot monkey was sitting on my desk. He looks a little different from the one at the party Friday - this one has a green cape and he's actually wearing a crash helmet too. And this guy is definitely much louder - he literally screams any time he crashes into something. With as much as I've been flinging him around the cube today, I'm shocked that none of my superiors have scolded me! I'm sure the whole department can hear him screaming!

* Poker update - back last weekend when I downloaded PokerTracker and RealTime, I had $140 in my PokerStars account. By the time I went to bed Saturday night (well actually Sunday morning), I had $370 in there. But Sunday was a really bad poker day, and I ended the weekend with $205. Last night, I went bowling and then to Double A's to watch some of the Bears-Vikings game with friends, but I made it home by 10:30, so I decided to play for a little while. I won a handful of big pots, but more importantly, the few pots I lost were very small. After an hour or so, I quit for the night with $285. That puts me up $145 since acquiring the new software. I'd like to think that it's helping! Plus, with all the hands that I've been playing lately, I'm earning a bunch of FPPs (Frequent Player Points) which I can spend on merchandise in the Poker Store. I have enough points right now to get a DVD player, but I think I'm going to trade them in for cash. At my current pace, I'll be able to trade in my points for $100 by this coming weekend. You gotta love getting cash for making cash at the poker tables!!
