Weekend Update
I had a pretty crazy weekend. A bunch of former interns were in town for "Intern Weekend". We bring former interns with full-time offers for a weekend of fun in Hartford each year around this time. Friday night a large group of us went to the Hartford Wolfpack game. The Wolfpack are the AHL affiliate of the New York Rangers, so I was able to see Dwight Helminen and Al Montoya, both former Michigan players. FlyingV, RytheRed, and I were pretty obnoxious in our support of Montoya and his Michigan greatness, so our friends started taunting him.
It was Hartford Whalers appreciation night at the game on Friday. They honored three former Whaler greats before their game and "retired" their jerseys. Sadly, they should have retired the other 96 jersey numbers as well because the NHL will never return to Hartford. I wish they would though, since I'd definitely buy season tickets to see NHL hockey in Hartford. I still have the Hartford Whaler theme song (Brass Bonanza) stuck in my head since the Wolfpack scored so many goals in the game on Friday.
After the game, a large group of us went to a nearby bar that I hadn't been to before and did some serious drinking. By the time the post party ended at the hotel, it was about 4AM and I still had not done anything stupid. I drunk dialed Mouse and Mpls Ju, but they both suck and ignored my call. Boo urns. I guess I'll find cooler friends to call next time.
I spent Saturday afternoon hungover and at work, but after a kickin' four hour nap, I was ready for another late night. I went with some friends to Foxwoods to play poker last night. I wasn't getting very good cards and the table was very tight, so I was hanging around even all night. I moved to a different table for the last hour and still didn't play much until my last hand of the night. I lost the hand on the last card because of a player who should have folded much earlier. I didn't have to pay any money at the end since no one bet, but I was pretty pissed because I lost the $50 I put into a $250 pot because of a stupid player. The lady that won that hand was a big reason why I won $500+ one night last month since she kept paying me off, so I can handle one bad hand. For those that want details, I had King-Jack suited and she had a pair of sevens. The Flop was Nine-Ten-Jack. The turn was another Jack. The river was an eight. She called $50 in bets (all from me) before the eight hit the board at the end, which gave her a straight.
I didn't get home from the casino until after 5AM, so I slept most of the day today.
I'm watching the Steelers-Bengals game right now. This is a pretty gruesome game with lots of trash talking. I guess the teams don't like each other very much! :) Cincy is hanging on well without Palmer. After a fairly boring week of football, I hope this game finishes as well as it has started.
