Ocean's 11 went to the Oceanside casino with Mark last night and played 3 hours of 1/2 hold'em from 9 to 12. Bought in for 50, rebought 10 and left with $39.50. Mark was way up, at least doubled-up. Won 3 hands all night: pocket queens with queen on flop, over KK; pair of jacks on river, 3rd highest pair; and somehow, somehow, a huge pot (30+ dollars) with an ace high. Don't ask me.

Played basketball Saturday.

Result: 2cm laceration just below and to the left of left eyebrow and 7 jagged stiches. It's tough to play a game in which your face is on the level with everybody else's elbows.

On the bright side, with the inevitable scar I may have finally found the elusive street cred. Holla.

Lakers lost to Spurs, without HDTV. Apparently ABC doesn't broadcast NBA playoffs in HD. Those bastards. I can't believe that baseball gets HDed and not NBA playoffs. I feel like I don't know about this world that I live in anymore.
