And if you like it, baby, we can take it to the condo.

Hello reader(s?),

Right after my last update I was given a two week notice to leave the apartment I was in (long story, but it was an agreement me and the landlord had, nothing bad). I went looking around for a new place and it was such a drag because realtors suck and are the scum of the earth.
In the end I found a pretty sweet condo. It's a 1,280SQFT 1/1.5 with a big den (poker office) on the 8th floor of a brand-new building in Down Town near the beach. Big windows, good views. Needless to say I really like the place. Here are some pics:

The Bedroom (where the magic doesn't happen):

King Yogi, sittin' ontop of the world.


Master Bathroom:


The Office:


Living room (should be getting a flatscreen TV soon, pardon the boxes):

Kitchen:


Washer/Dryer (woman sold separately):


The View:

Panoramic night view:


I still have a ton of stuff to do before the place is finished but it's already feeling like home.


I didn't play any poker since I got the 2 week notice. I think I played 30-50 games all of August. I just started playing again these last 4 days. First day I lost something like 1,700 and last 3 been on a little heater for around $5k. Nice.

Mekhi Phifer (the actor, he's a red pro on FTP) has been playing a lot of the $119 SnGs with me over the last few days. Says he hired a poker coach and is trying to get into it. I think it's great that he's playing poker and he's been a lot of fun to play and chat with.
yeah cool wHip: gl future
Mekhi Phifer: thanks i need a win
yeah cool wHip: so do i... and im pretty sure ur worth more than me... soooo....
Mekhi Phifer: losing still hurts the ego just as much
yeah cool wHip: f the ego... im broke son, im broke!
Mekhi Phifer: haha

Aside from poker I'm getting back into the gym finally. I was up to around 175lbs and since quitting am down to 165 but I'll be back to form in no time. Can't wait for the results.


OK think I'm gonna watch a movie and pass out. G'nite.
