I made three little mini pies for Jason about two weeks ago. We were in the grocery store when we saw some great looking raspberries and just had to get them. I actually made the crust in my kitchen aid mixer which was sooo much easier than by hand and it came out great!
I would attach a picture but it seems that the pie picture was one of those lost when Jason moved everything to his new Mac computer. I should also mention that I’m writing my first blog post from my new MacBook, a very nice early birthday gift from my sweetie!!!

In a great marketing move, The Simpsons Movie folks have a really neat tool set up that lets you create your own Simpsons characters. I gave it a whirl and came up with ones for myself and Stephanie. What do you think?

I am going to start over on my attempt to become a better NL cash game player. I am planning on doing this at an alternate site, preferably one of the smaller ones. Pokertracker support would be a huge plus because it’s easy to datamine a smaller site so I am putting Absolute, UB, and Bodog at the top of my current list, but it is not a requirement per se. What smaller rooms can you recommend? Rakeback availability would be great too.
- Bodog
- Pluses
- Pokertracker support
- Loose players
- Good mtt structure
- Minuses
- Don’t get rakeback
- No bonuses
- Limited number of tables
- Poor selection of deposit and withdrawal options (no epassporte or paytrucard)
- Software design makes it hard to multitable
- Ultimate Bet
- Pluses
- Fast software
- Currently have a ton of bonuses
- Good mtt structure
- Pokertracker support
- Epassporte support
- Minuses
- No rakeback
- Limited number of tables
- A lot of mtts are rebuys
- Absolute
- Pluses
- Always offering reload bonuses
- Pokertracker support
- Smaller mtt fields
- Epassporte support
- Minuses
- Because of bonuses, there are a lot of rocks
- Only OK mtt structure
- Limited number of tables
- Software is slow and poorly designed
Notice that I’ve mentioned mtts even though I’m planning on mostly playing cash at these sites. I plan to dabble in tournies on my alternate site so that I can concentrate on my cashing percentage on smaller buyin-smaller fields. I fully plan on playing most of my mtts in the $10 and $24 range on FullTilt because that’s where I have success but no reason not to work on my game in other ways.
A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly whacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.
The husband cringed, “I warned you to be careful! Now we’ll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us.”
So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, “Come on in.”
When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the broken window.
A man reclining on the couch asked, “Are you the people that broke my window?”
“Uh…yeah, sir. We’re sure sorry about that,” the husband replied.
“Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you. You see, I’m a genie, and I’ve been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. Now that you’ve released me, I’m allowed to grant three wishes. I’ll give you each one wish, but if you don’t mind, I’ll keep the last one for myself.”
“Wow, that’s great!” the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, “I’d like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life.”
“No problem,” said the genie. “You’ve got it, it’s the least I can do. And I’ll guarantee you a long, healthy life! And now you, young lady, what do you want?” the genie asked.
“I’d like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every
country in the world,” she said.
“Consider it done,” the genie said. “And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!”
“And now,” the couple asked in unison, “what’s your wish, genie?”
“Well, since I’ve been trapped in that bottle and haven’t been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife.”
The husband looked at his wife and said, “Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?”
She mulled it over for a few moments and said, “You know, you’re right.
Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn’t mind, but what about you, honey?”
“You know I love you, sweetheart,” said the husband. “I’d do the same for you!”
So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other. After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, “How old are you and your husband?”
“Why, we’re both 35,” she responded breathlessly.
“No kidding.” He said, “Thirty-five years old and both of you still believe in genies?!”
