Why Are Walls Paper Thin?

Another update. I'll be honest, I didn't see it coming so soon.

I had a fun weekend. Friday night I ventured over to see Christmas Carol in 3D with Jim Carey. I won't lie, I loved the movie. Animation these days is so realistic I forgot at times I was actually watching a "cartoon". After the movie, we had an international beer tour back at my house, at least all of the good international beers my local liquor store had. Well to be honest it was more of a Belgian beer tour with a Dutch and a Danish beer thrown in for good measure. I mean when it comes to beer, you don't really have to go far beyond Belgium to find something tasty. The lineup for the night included: Chimay Red, Chimay Blue, Leffe, Duvel, Grolsch, and Carlsberg. The only notable beer from Europe I liked that I was unable to find was La Chouffe. Alas, I must say the night was a great success. After having drank Miller Light for the last month since getting home, and actual beer was a nice change of pace. It take a couple of pitchers of any American beer to get me going anywhere, but after my very first Duvel I was in a good place.

After being demolished in Fifa 2010, I decided enough was enough and dragged the poker table out of our garage. With the people over, we were able to have a 7 person $1 tournament, winner take all. I dn't even remember how I lost, all that's important is that my penpal Megan won. She absolutely crushed the table with the ultimate strategy I taught her "Fold". No one knew how to counter it. She mixed it up a bit though, going both all-in and calling with AJ and 77. It was good to see her hard work pay off, and for my coaching I will be receving ice cream and Bruester's today. Sick freeroll on my part. Not to be trumped in another game, she then followed up with another victory in a 6 handed game of Skip-Bo.

Not even realizing it was 5am, everyone out a halt to the night pretty quickly. We moved the poker table back, everyone went home, and I went to sleep excited to play my first Saturday in ages. 

For those not in the know, Saturdays blow. No nicer way to put it. There's tons of high buyin tournaments without much money to be made ever. Saturday is basically the equivalent of let's see how much makeup I can pile on. Even the SNG action isn't good because there's that Supernova VIP Freeroll, so every nitty regular is only trying to eek out whatever possible value they can get while mass loading $12-$60 SNGs. I should've just went up to the Ale House with my roommate and saved myself a few thousands dollars and 12 hours of my life. 

After a not so good day, my roommate came home and convinced me to go to 80's night with him. I went and had a pretty good time. I got really smashed, really fast. We somehow ended up at a party afterwards where everyone was playing liquor pong. I've heard the idea before, but never actually seen it done in practice. Anyways, me and my roommate is is usually god's gift to beer pong take on 2 black guys. For simplicity's sake in my drunken stupor, I just referred to them as Kobe and Lebron, because they literally didn't miss a shot. Seriously, they ran the game on us first turn. Hello 6 shots, I'm Marty, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle you? I got them down after a night of already heavy drinking. We were challenged to a rematch but even I know when to back down.

When I drink I get hungry, belligerent, and crazy as hell. The only place to satisfy all 3 of these needs at 4am is Taco Bell. Let me explain Taco Bell on a Saturday at 4am in Tallahassee. It's unlike any other place I've ever been. It's just a bunch of smashed college kids slurring their orders. Everyone is still dressed up from clubs, parties, etc... , so it's always a fun experience. 

The drive-thrue line was shorter than inside for ocne, so we decided to just use that. But how am I going to interact with people in a car? Well, simple solution actually. I had my roommate put down the sun roof and I stood on the seat and talked to the girl behind me in line. She was really cute, like adorable cute. I managed to get her phone number through the sun roof, and then did something I've wanted to do for awhile. I was eating Indian food with Leif one day and he told me he's always wanted to send a girl at another table a mango lassie. So branching off from this idea, I decided it'd be fun to get this girl her Taco Bell. Her order was $5.38, which I paid for, but not before me and my roommate prop bet on what she ordered. We did a weird kind of bet. I got burrito, quesadilla and nacho, while he got taco, chalupa, gordita. I liked his side of the bet more. I called the girl and asked her what she ordered. She didn't answer. Then she called me back and told me that she hopes I realize she isn't going to sleep with a random dude because I bought her her Taco Bell. HAHAHA what. God I wish I would've had a great one-liner to say there. After the fact Leif suggested I should've said "why not?", but I wasn't that brilliant at the time. I just kind of laughed and she hung up on me. I call her back and get her voicemail and tell her that I'm not trying to fuck her, but I have a high stakes bet on what she ordered and would really appreciate it if she could help me out.

I go home, fall asleep. Assuming I'll never hear from the girl again when my phone rings. She's calling to apologize, and wanted to let me know how much I made her night. She told me she overreacted before and didn't know what to do when some guy in a sun roof randomly bought her food. She told me she got a chalupa. GOD DAMN IT, WHY DID YOU EVEN CALL ME BACK IF YOU GOT A CHALUPA? THERE GOES ANOTHER $5 PROP BETTING ON YOU. SHSJSGDJDGSGFJSHGSJFHSGH. Talk about going to bed tilted.

Sunday sucked as usual. My other roommate's girlfriend got here from out of state on Friday, I don't even think they're actually dating. Anyways, they literally haven't left his room since then. Honest to god, I haven't even seen her use the bathroom. I have no idea what's going on in there, and I would even question whether or not she was alive if it wasn't for the random sounds I had to deal with all day Sunday. Literally it was awful, I swear they must've been fucking 16 out of the 17 hours I was awake. I tried to play music, but some things you just can't ignore. Since our rooms border each other's, and our walls pretty much suck. So on top of losing money I had to deal with THAT. At least I had Dexter to watch at 9PM. Wow what a show, awesome, awesome, awesome. So excited for the finale this Sunday.

Yesterday was another frustrating day in poker. I was t36 in 3 MTTs at the same time. 11cubed, 5 2r1a and the big $27.50. I busted them all within 45 seconds of each other. I threw my phone because it was the first thing I could grab. It lands in a pile of laundry, but obviously the screen smashes. WP marty, fucking WP. I'm still a terrible loser. As if that wasn't enough. I slam my door and the door knob goes through my wall making a baseball sized hole. SWEET, great day. These walls really are paper thin.

The only thing that made yesterday even remotely enjoyable was getting vengeful on my roommate. Since he doesn't leave his room, I had to think of another way. I was sitting in my room, me and Leif both grinding online. I google'd "girl getting trainwrecked in her asshole" and picked the first video that came up. I turned my volume all the way up, and connected speakers to my macbook. I put the speakers directly facing the wall and played the video. It took like 45 seconds of moaning, screaming, and a bunch of unpleasant sounds for him to leave his room and walk into mine. He comes in, stares at me and Leif, and we just play poker like nothing is going on, all the while there's some girl getting sausage slapped echoing from my speakers. We didn't even have to say anything, because I think he got the point. The noises have been reduced, and all is well in the universe. Just in case though, I ordered a much needed replacement part from Bose, so it won't be a problem either way soon. 

More poker tonight. Sick PCA satellite on Sunday. 150 people, top 9 get packages. would be an awesome birthday gift. like really awesome...
