True Fact
My very intelligent and very wealthy sister still uses an AOL e-mail account. No accounting for taste I guess.
Tomorrow is Sports Day. Me and my boss and the other NET’s get a free lunch and watch our students turn into viciously competitive antagonists for an afternoon.
It’s kind of fun, even if it is on my day off.
So, Iron Man 3 — more like Iron MEH 3 AMIRITE???

I Am No Longer A Degenerate Gambler, And That Makes Me Sad
Apparently an ex-pat teacher in Daegu was just arrested for armed robbery of a convenience store. He stole the cash then went directly to the Daegu Casino and lost it all.
Thing is, I’m pretty sure I know who the guy is (newspaper didn’t give his name). I used to go to the casino here once or twice a month to play Hold’em, and I’m guessing he was one of the more psychotic regulars.
The point being, I stopped going to the casino last year because it was packed to the rafters with assholes. And it’s not like you expect casinos to be filled with angels and unicorns and puppies, but there were some seriously bad vibes going on in that place.
The last straw came when I had K-7 hearts and flopped two more hearts, so I moved all-in with a strong flush draw, and the 7 paired. So yeah, I’m not Tom Dwan or anything but I fucking had a quality hand and I won about 100 bucks.
And the guy I beat completely fucking lost his shit and actually threatened me physically. I suggested he walk his sorry ass over to the ATM and withdraw some more cash so I could beat him again. The manager finally stepped in but I was already headed to the counter to cash in my winnings.
Never again.
And that’s a shame, because I love playing poker but one thing I haven’t found in South Korea (even when I lived in Apgujeong) is a decent, honest-to-god weekly poker game. There was a decent one in Seoul at Rocky Mountain Tavern when I first moved here but it kind of fell apart.
So it’s probably for the best that I do other things with my time but I’ve really been jonesing for a game lately.
