Sunday afternoon I played in the Woman's Tournament at
The Bike. It was a $40 NL Headhunter Holdem tourny, which means for every person you knock out of the tournament, you get a a specified amount of money ($10 in this case). First place paid out $4,000 and a purse with a matching wallet (yea, I found that slightly insulting... a fucking PURSE?!) But there was a nice little glass trophy too... oh, I really wanted it. Out of 319 women, I made it down to the final 2 tables. Unfornately I got knocked out in 14th place when the chip leader caught a Ace on the turn to beat my pocket 10s. I got in all the money pre-flop, what's a girl to do?
I got a letter from the NJ Board of Taxation on Friday. Yay, return. *BUZZ* Try again. It wasn't my measly $400 state tax return. No. It was a $1700 underpayment notice. Uh. Um. What? So I called them today. The individual that I paid to do my taxes fucked up the NJ forms cause NJ can't do anything simple, so now I need to fill out another 3 forms and see if I can sort this mess out. Annoying.
In other news, work has been seriously kicking my ass. So much going on right now, things are really hectic. Looks like I won't be in Dublin by July 1st since they're still working on getting our Visas all sorted out. This whole "not knowing when" thing is getting real old.
Schedule for this week: Work, work, work and play, play, play. Wednesday night is Phil Gordon's "Bad Beat on Cancer" benefit at the White Lotus in Hollywood. I got an invite so I will most definitely be in attendance. Friday night I'm going to the Knitting Factory to see Nightmare of You and then maybe heading up to San Fran for Memorial day weekend.
