Again, thanks to everyone who's bought up shares. Below is a final list of shares, and payment status. Those who've paid on PokerStars are marked by an '*' and those who've made other arrangements are marked with a '#'. If I don't have arrangements made for you, please msg me how you'd like to transfer funds. If I've missed arrangements, please let me know as well. Play starts at 5pm, but if I get...

At this point, it looks like I've got just over 5% rooting shares. I have to admit, that's quite a bit more than I was expecting, so I'd like to thank everyone for their vote of confidence. I am going to cut off shares at 6.5% to allow anyone else in who may want. Points of clarification: 1) If for some reason I can't play an event, I will refund everyone that portion of the stake. 2) What you...

My LiveJournal is six today! Crikey, that's old. My most successful offline diary-keeping effort lasted a little over seven years and faded somewhat in frequency towards the end, so that might be an indication of how long it takes me to get bored. My use of LJ remains disorganised; in conjunction with the long sets of day shifts and night shifts I work, it's far too easy for me to wake up, have...

Despite her manly, loud voice, I really like Rachel Ray's shows. I like that she travels, loves cocktails, and that she's always on a budget. That's my type of girl. I want to go to Argentina. Anyone else? I still have to go cross-country with songmonk . When are we doing that?

Thank you everyone for your advice and support. I thought I'd give you an update (hopefully final) on Alex. ( Part 1 , Part 2 ) I brought Alex in Saturday afternoon. Remember, I started seeing blood in his urine on Tuesday. I called in immediately, but the tech on duty said that as long as he's still voiding (even if it's only a bit at a time which was the case), then it's probably not life threatening...

Via Ken Jennings and songmonk , I be loving the new Princess Bride cover. Wow.

Tuesday morning, I noticed my 1.5-year-old male cat, Alex, going to the litter box just a few minutes after he had used it. I looked to see what he had done, and there was just a tiny spot of urine. Hm. I went to work as usual. When I came home, I observed him closely. He used the litter box, but once again only a spot. A few minutes later he went again. Nothing. A few minutes later, just a spot. I...
