Today was complete shit. I had to wake up at 11 to drive with my mom to Philly to get the Saab out of the shop. Turns out this place is all the way past the airport, and there's traffic, naturally. Had to drive the Saab home and noticed that the stereo doesn't work. This happens when the battery is disconnected, as it was in the shop. Since it is an anti-theft stereo, you need to enter a code before you can use it again. This time, however, when you turn the stereo on, it just says 1234. Usually it prompts you for the code. I'm waiting a few days to see if I get prompted. Until then, no music while driving.
The Dolphins lost. I guess they were supposed to, but they did not make a good showing when they went down 17-7 against the Titans. Fiedler threw 2 INTs and Feeley thre 1, so who is better? Whatever.
Pat came over around 3:30 which was cool. I haven't seen him in a very long time and we'll probably hang out again tomorrow before he leaves. Back to crappiness. I played 5 hours of poker today. It started at 4:30 and I just about doubled up within the first 20 minutes. It was looking good when I got pocket jacks and a jack floated into the flop. However, some kid beat me with a straight I failed to see, and killed my chip stack. From there, I slowly was defeated. After this, I played 2 5 dollar buy in games with other eliminated players. In both, I could only finish second, buying back my buy-in, which was frustrating. I lost it in the second game. I was dealt a10 unsuited and he was dealt aq spades; he went in, and I called. Flop: 6 spade, 7 spade, 4 hearts. His queen kicker still had me and he picked up a flush draw. I contined to call for a 10 but a 9 of clubs came out. This gave me the draw of both a 10 or an 8. The river was an eight, and I screamed, because I thought I won. However, it was the eight of spades, and he flushed out my straight. I was pretty heated.
Anyway, I wasn't able to see Kelly today. That happens very rarely and usually leads to a shitty mood. She wasn't ready to hang before poker and after I got knocked out she went shopping with a friend who ended up sleeping there, which was total gayness. That ended with me coming home at 9:30 for the night. My plans for later were also fucked. It was in the works to drink at Al's with a new addition, Chris Dame. That was gonna be fun, but Al never called, and we never drank. Boo. Home for the night(gay)
When I got home, I had to do AP Physics 2 problems, which was of course not cool. This weekend was pretty poopy. School is in now and we have to savor them, which makes a bad weekend and very bad thing. Friday night I went to the Lenape game with Kelly and a bunch of people were there. We were slaughtered=fun. After we went back to Kellys, which was awesome though. I missed both nights to drink this weekend. I'm staying at my grandparent's house next weekend cuz my mom will be away. I can't do anything at my house cuz I got caught last time. That means I can't drink next weekend either. It will end up being 3 weeks in a row without drinking, again. (making it so I've only drank twice in 6 weeks, not cool.) My tolerance is taking a hit.
I left out the obvious good thing of Notre Dame beating #7 Michigan. This was a HUGE win for the Irish. If they had beaten the sober Mormons last week, they might even be ranked now. Oh well.
The weekend isn't over yet, so there is still hope for tomorrow to be fun. I want to hang out with Kelly ALL DAY, but I won't be able to. I have to go to an information session on Boston University with my mom in Philadelphia at 3, so can only hang with her for a few hours.
I have a car again, which means no more bus to school. Yay.
