The Ugly Truth

Saw this the other day at Empire Studio 5 in Miramichi. It was actually a lot better than I was expecting. I went in there thinking "chick flick" but it the humour is pretty crude and explicit....actually my kind of film haha. I'd highly recommend it if you are looking for something to see this week.

I discovered a new poker site (as if I needed that). PKR is a fairly new poker site that is much more high tech and advanced to some of the ones you might be used to. It is entirely 3D and you can do everything from design your own avatar to doing actual animations and voices while you are playing. It is really cool. They also have some neat and extremely addicting games such as the 10 cent Sit n Go freerolls. I spent most of the evening playing those. I even placed first in one and second in another.

The frustrating thing about sites like that, and freerolls in particular, is that you always seem to get beat out by garbage. Poker involves a lot of skill and a lot of luck but unfortunately I think freerolls are entirely luck. I'm constantly getting put out by 10-7, 8-6 and so on when I have AK, AQ and KQ. My advice is that if you want to learn to play poker, stay away from the freerolls. Put a few dollars in and play some no-limit cash games. The players seem to play a little smarter...

What else is new for me? Not a lot....should be a quiet week. I need to make a dentist appointment for the end of August and call our so-called prospective contractor back to see if he will bring us our estimate. I may head down home for a night next weekend (since down home is only about 40 minutes from here!). On August 3rd I am off to Montreal for a 3 day Science conference. From there, Erin and I are heading out to Ormstown for a couple of nights to spend time on the farm and then we are off the Saratoga Springs, NY for 2 nights before heading back home. Busy couple of weeks!

Anyways, I'm off to watch the 1975 version of The Amityville Horror. Classic, old-school horror movies never bore me! I may even submit a review to Rotten Tomatoes.....
