The weather was perfect on Saturday for volleyball, and we played several games (though not enough in my opinion). After that we hung out at my place for awhile and cooled off, then ventured back outside and walked around the art fair that's been going on around Uptown. After that, we made a liquor store run, and played a lot of beer pong and flip cup. I went 3-1 on the night in BP, though unfortunately my loss was in my only 1v1 match of the night, against Goodson who was back in town from Arizona. However, it was my fourth game of the night and his first, so I'd like to think some of it was due to unequal sobriety levels. Also, he sank two balls in the same cup twice (my rules are if you sink the first cup, the ball and cup must remain there and you have the chance to sink the 2nd ball in the same cup, to make it worth 3 cups), which is pretty tough to do and requires some good luck. I lost to him by two cups.

Sunday has been a pretty relaxed day. My parents came down and I went out with them to walk around the art fair some more. Today I did see a few things that were tempting to get, but I held off since I really am running low on wall space to put things. I spent most of the evening playing 3 different tourneys online. I came close to moneying in two of them, though unfortunately I don't win the hands I should win. I can't recall em all offhand, but I lost a KK vs QQ for a lot of chips, a JJ vs A6o for a ton of chips pretty close to the money (win that one and I'm top 10 in chips and great shape for a deep run), and another JJ vs AK and AT all in, and then finally ousted in one as a smallish stack (due to the JJ vs A6 loss) with QJs all in vs TT and the flop coming KQx, only to turn 9 river jack and send me to the rail. Hopefully next time I get the urge to play tournaments, I'll remember my anger from today and hold off.

Anyway, the real reason I'm blogging now is to share this:

"This Modern Love" by Bloc Party is one of my favorite songs ever, so I thought it was pretty funny to find that someone actually tried to compose it in Mario Paint's composer. The job they did from about 2:25 to the end is super impressive.

And if you don't know what they were trying to recreate, here is the actual "This Modern Love":
