Take me to your Machines

So another one of my friends..Actually another 2 of my friends are married. It was a great day for Shawn and Amy and they are very happy, and I'm happy for them. I even got all the music right :P

The reception was a blast, as it seemed like the whole crew was there. But the big part of story happened on Thursday night.

After the rehearsal and decorating of the hall, we decided to throw a few cards around, where I got my 2nd ever 4 tens, 2 in the pocket and first 2 cards on the flop..I ended up knocking 2 guys out. Shawn and I played for a bit then we decided to just take the pot and split it up so we could head down to dooly's

We got there and I decided to throw a little bit of money in the machines. I took $80 out. I sang a couple of songs, then I threw in a few more dollars and after just trying to get away from them by making a few max bets...got 5 armadillos for $125. So I pulled that out. After a while, Derrick goes over and I join him and decide to throw some more away. once again just trying to kill it off..5 oil wells on a max bet..$225 later it's time to go home. People are starting to look for my horseshoe :D. Lucky in cards, not so much in love I guess.

It didn't take long to spend. Breakfast out, a few rounds at the reception, got some groceries and paid some bills, and I got enough for some cards tonight. Maybe the lucky streak will continue

No Pearl Jam tickets for me, Tara and I tried to get some but they sold out in less then 2 hours. Looks like I'll be making the trip just to the casino that night. Oh well..

Star Wars Fanboys...Light yourself on Fire!!!

Mirror.co.uk - News - Showbiz News - LIGHT-SABRE DUEL PUTS TWO IN HOSPITAL

If this is not the most idiotic thing I've ever read...I don't know what else to say...

A good thing I can say for G4

I've said it before and I'll say it again, It's great to be a Twit.

A follower of the guys over at This Week In Tech that is. The old Screen Savers gang is back together again and it's a gread download every week. It runs about an hour each week, and it'sa ll the technology news and Screen Savorish stuff that "Attack of the Show" is not.

That being said I did enjoy the G4 coverage of E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) and the launch of both the X-box 360 and PS3. I'm a big PS2 fan, but I am strongly looking a the X-box 360

BTW: I've just finished downloading Systm...haven't watched it yet. The host Kevin Rose is leaving G4 to do more stuff like this, which is great for him. There is more on Kevin and Systm and that stuff here
James says it better then I ever could.

Harry Potter News

Apple - Trailers - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

That's looks cool. It's the best book in the series thus far so the movie should be just as good

Following the Crowd:

Stolen from Jessica's LJ:

Something to pass the time.
01. Reply with your name and I will write something about you.
02. I will then tell what song/movie remind me of you.
03. If I were to apply an o'clock to you, it would be...
04. I will try to name a single word that best describes you.
05. I'll tell you the most memorable moment I've had with you.
06. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
07. I'll then tell you something that I've always wondered about you.
08. Put this in your journal.
