What's up with Ohio State? That's all I have to say about that.

I bought a couple of tickets to see John Mayer at the Gorge. Who wants to go?

You know what I hate about making bacon? Afterwards my whole apartment smells like bacon.

You ever have one of those days when you were just so hungry you started making a bunch of things that just don't really go together? And nothing could cure your hunger? I started my dinner tonight with some chips and cheese dip. Then I moved on to some bacon, from which I made some fried rice and a bacon cheeseburger. And I made some potatoes in the oven. And a salad, with balsamic vinaigrette. Then I went to Applebees.

It didn't rain today.

I went to a casino this last weekend and played some poker. For the first time ever I stepped away from the table at a casino with more money than I started with, but it was about $300 less than I had at one point. Big Slick is the worst hand ever. I did much better with hands like A-4 and A-8. I had one pocket pair of 10s, but didn't get any other decent hands in 4 hours of play. I hit the river twice on all-ins against the same guy. He didn't like that. Were his name Phil Helmuth he would have been loudly ranting about how he couldn't believe that I would play those cards.

BW3 in Hillsboro is difficult to find.

According to the phone book, there are no Turkish restaurants in Portland.

I found a place in Corvallis that sells delicious gyros.

Saturday was dollar beer night at the Peacock in Corvallis. Gyros and dollar beer night don't mix.

I still need to unpack crap. And buy a couch. And a bed.

I bought a can opener today.
