i'll see your two thousand, and raise you six

i took yesterday off from studio work to work on my paper. no such luck. still no such luck. woke up late yesterday afternoon and then went to eat at this tex-mex place called curra's grill. my brother and jeremy talked about forming a software company in the future.. they'll call it curtains because it'll run over windows. ;)

later that night, we went out with my brother and his friend to this sushi bar. it was the first time i had ever tried sushi. we got an order of california rolls, an order of spicy fish rolls, and one bowl of udon soup with shrimp tempura. we also tried one of their sashimi dishes which is the raw stuff. it was some sweet shrimp thing. i thought the raw dish was far too expensive for what it was but so are all delicacies. i really liked the maki rolls which were the cooked rolls. my brother and his friend got sopa noodles which the chef made from off the menu. jeremy didn't like any of it really but he said the wasabi sauce was very good. i thought the wasabi was yucky. i got some of it on my sashimi dish and was not pleased by the after-kick taste.

after we finished eating, we went over to our friend's eric's place and played poker. my favorite poker game is called the texas hold 'um. other games we played were the traditional fiver card draw, omaha, chicago low, chicago high, and seven card stud. i really hated omaha because you can only use two of the cards in your hand. we had two tables of poker going until around midnight. then a few people left. when we had seven people left, we combined tables. i think we played till 5 am. it came down to jeremy, john's friend justin, and me. jeremy and i had the most chips but i think jeremy was on a winning streak when we called it game.

today we woke up around 2pm, had subway for lunch, and watched driven on hbo. the timberwolves and lakers are supposed to play today too. i want to watch the playoff game but need to start my paper now. i think jeremy is playing no one lives forever 2 on his lap top. lucky. i've been doing everything possible to avoid my paper. in fact, i think i shall take a bathroom break and select a playlist before actually starting. hehe.

once this week is over, i'll be pretty much done with school. can't wait.
