My dreams of being a professional poker player haven't been shattered yet. Last night I played in a $5 tournament in hopes of getting a seat at a televised tournament in Hollywood next weekend. Out of 177 people, I finished 7th. The top 25 go on to the next round Sunday to play for a seat in Hollywood. I can't tell you how elated I am to do so well in my first tournament. I was skeptical that I would even come close making it to the next round. So, I'm ready for Sunday night, hoping my luck stays with me. I played pretty well, using instinct and a little luck to climb my way up the ranks. It's a wonderful rush when you win a huge pot knowing you've got the best hand.

This morning I added a review for Madagascar in Now Playing. Erika has expressed interest in writing the review for The Longest Yard. It should be posted soon as well as her trip review for Vegas.

I promised several weeks ago to share our Vegas pictures. However, Kodak Gallery is a stupid piece of crap. If you want to see the pictures, shoot me an e-mail and I'll send you the link. Apparently, only one person can use the link before it dies.
