Last night was poker at my domicile. A coworker from our Phoenix office was in town, so we had a poker gathering in his honor. I won five bucks. This pleases me. Last night's most popular games: Texas Hold 'Em and the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I had fun messing with the minds of my fellow players. I was gettin' my bluff on. All good fun

Then I read some politically charged news, talked to schnoodle, and passed out.

And now, 6 hours later, my little predators have ripped me from my slumber by playing some cat variation of "capture the flag".

Today, I feel less like a raisin (see yesterday morning's post) and more like a thick slab of French Toast.

Shit. Now I crave french toast. Or, rather, "Pain perdu".

I believe this marks my very first Friday Five

Or, if this is not my first Friday Five, it marks the onset of alzheimers.

See #1.

Now there's a combat plan for the Middle East, baby.

Feel the funk.

Yesterday, I had a downloading feast on iTunes.

I acquired:
Marillion: Clutching at Straws
Marillion: Afraid of Sunlight
Finley Quaye's latest CD (released on March 16 on iTunes)
a Zakk Wylde EP (I forgot the title, but it had some cool accoustic guitar action.)

Mom is about to come over. I'm making some Raspberry Scones, made with spelt flour and splenda and non fat half 'n half (instead of cream). This will accompany some cantaloupe and a vegetable fritata.

Time to get cooking.
