Dude, spam gives me the best subject lines, I swear.

Anyway, just wanted to do a quick followup on the New Year's thing, and then get a couple items out of the queue. Firstly, a topic perhaps conspicuously absent from my New Year's post was poker. This is more or less by design, I guess. One thing is that I thought if I were going to deal with poker-centric stuff, maybe I'd deal with it more in bobby_the_worm, although probably not right away, owing largely to the second thing. The second thing is that I'm just on such a hiatus from poker right now that I figured it'd be less taxing on my immensely attention-span-deficient mind to not think about it too hard for the time being; there will be plenty of time for that later.

Also missing, though less conspicuously, was anything to do with my interpersonal relationships...or really just anything having to do with other people. This was not by design, but in retrospect, I guess it makes a certain amount of sense. When I first realized I hadn't said anything about keeping in touch with friends or slinging more truthiness or whatever, I wondered if that meant anything...like if it was some giant oversight unconsciously buried and excluded so as to not face it, or maybe it more meant that I was happy in my relationships with people and I didn't feel anything needed addressing. Well, bugger all that...I don't think it's that big a deal. I've had occasion in the last, oh, few weeks or so to sort of explore my own mode of operation with people, so it has been on my mind a bit, but on the whole I don't feel like "working" on anything in that department. I'm realizing there's a lot I have to clean up in my own life, first. I think that should be front-burner for the time being.

So anyway...yeah. Nothing else much going on...the new year is starting up well enough, I suppose. That is...nothing's gone terribly wrong so far here on Day 2. :) I realize I don't have occasion to write down the date very much these days; I haven't had to write "2007" on anything yet. It'll be interesting to see when that will finally come up.

( Some random stuff )

Aaaaaand...that's it for now, methinks. Hope everyone's new year is going well so far. Peace!

Get to know your neighbor

I ganked this from cacophonesque. Seemed like fun, somehow, though probably less so with me, since mostly y'all know each other. But anyway...

Comment to this post with the name of someone on my friends list and I will tell you as much as I can (although nothing too personal) about that person.

NFL Week 17 Results

Well, here's a rare turn of events. For one, I'm getting quite a jump on posting the NFL results this week. For two, in the absence of Monday Night Football this week, I'm actually able to post these results on a Monday. :) [EDIT: Naturally, I composed this offline and then failed to post it, so it's actually coming out on a Tuesday. :) ] For three, I actually not only came out ahead this week, but in first place. This might have had something to do with lepicurien making no picks this week. ;) In any case, kawaiiryuko also booked a profit this week, so...we're all winners here. Party. :)

( Details and results )

Anyway. What can I say...I found it a nice end to the regular season that my biggest underdog pick came through in fine style. ;) That also means it's nothing but the playoffs left until the Super Bowl, and then many months of peace until next season. Tally ho!

Wild Card Weekend Schedule

Ah, sweet, sweet postseason with its few, few games. :) Comment with your picks!
