Well, it's been over two weeks, surely it's time for more Amber photos! Read on below...

Had a baby 2.1777 weeks ago, have a cold, had visitors tonight, joined 20 minutes late with my stack blinded down to T1410, jumped into the action, bounced up to T2100 pretty quickly, hung out and watched Wil's JJ fall to CJ's KK, followed shortly by NHL 200X's failed attempt to steal on the turn against a set of sixes.

The WWdN is now pretty much the only poker action that I'm going to see for the foreseeable future; Amber is gasp much more important than poker. But enough people seem to like reading this live blog, and the WWdN is just so much fun, that I'm going to to try to hang in there for one night a week.

Which means that, now that I've cashed out most of my bankroll, if I actually want to play for any amount of time in the future, I'm going to have to make money at the WWdN. Good luck, I know! And if I want to last deep into the tourney, I'm going to have to stop making loose calls like defending my AQo big blind against an 8x BB bet from AlCantHang... maybe if AAQ hit on the flop I would have stuck around for the turn, but 664 meant that I was checking and then folding once Al made his inevitable bet on the flop. Ah well... back to my starting wages, it seems.

Amber Colleen was born on May 6, 2006, just 54 minutes past midnight. Due to overwhelming demand, here are some photos of our beautiful little girl:

Recuperating from a very long day.

Ah yeah, a little malformed quote from The Guess Who for you there.

The baby watch continues; we had a little flurry of activity last night, but things tapered off with the morning sun, strongly suggesting a baby of vampiric origin. Given my looks, I'm thinking Nosferatu, but Toreador or Ventrue would be more to our liking.

Because I had already called in to work to tell them I was taking the day off, Lynn and I decided to see V for Vendetta at the afternoon matinee. Given that Alan Moore has had his name removed from the movie credits (and, in fact, retroactively from any of the work that he did for DC Comics in the past), the movie was better than I expected. Hugo Weaving did a great job with his voice and body to make up for the frozen face; but the deviations from the original story were pretty typical Hollywood meddling, unfortunately. Worth a rental, maybe, but even more worthwhile, buy and read the original V for Vendetta (graphic novel).

Side note: holy crap! I just noticed how much the original issues of V for Vendetta are selling for these days... I have 8 of the 10 original issues stashed away. Comic book guy was on to something...
