So I've picked my subjects at uni.

I'm doing;

Biology of animals. Biology of Plants. Psychology. Geography of Global Change.

The first two are for my science degree and the second two for my arts degree. Actually all 4 are offered in science, but the first two aren't offered in arts so I'm essentially doing a 4 year bachelor of science, but I get a bachelor of arts with it :D.


Also picked up this book today;

You make resolutions? I gave up on them a long time ago. There's nothing I can really do for a whole year. Good luck with getting out of bed before 9 AM - that should be one of mine if I made any. Happy New Years buddy!

I make them, but I tend to fail as well. Still I always get better and the things I list, even if I fail, so it's still a meaningful exercise. Happy New Year to you too, and all readers of my blog :)

I'm actually going to be studying "geopolitics" this year at uni. Well I presume so. I know nothing about the course except that it's called "geography of global change."

Jared Diamond is a fantastic person to read on this subject. Guns, Germs And Steel in particular (also Collapse which I own, but haven't read yet).

So this is one of those drunken posts hooray! :D

So I've noticed the only time I ever win poker is when I really want/need to. The last time I won a game was the infamous game where I get stoned, threw up and passed out the couch. The table kept paying my blinds, then demanded I either play or quit the game, so I got up and won. That was in fact the day that I got my promotion at work as well. Since then I've never needed the money, and haven't won a game (for over a year). Then the first day at Narooma Dan Ednie spent like 2 hours talking about how much fun poker was and how he'd won the night before, so we played a big game (not for money, because they're all cheap), and I pretty much only played hands that Dan played, put him out first, and then went on to win the game. That's probably the only time I've played a non cash game and not just gone all in on every hand until I lose :P. Due to a 2 week break, holidays, Christmas etc. I'm now almost broke until Friday (I was considering not having Sushi for lunch 8O ) but played poker tonight. Fired up from being attacked over my bad 500 skills (actually it was my partners), I managed to finish second from a table of 10, which is close enough to winning (since we pay 1st and 2nd and 3rd gets their money back). Huzzah, sushi all week as usual :)

That is all.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, saw the best hand ever today. Jenny and Ben hate each other. They stay in with a few other people. Flop comes out and it's king, queen, queen. there is some large betting and a few people fold. A 4 comes out. Ben bets large, Jenny goes all in. Ben celebrates immediately and says; "Full house on the flop" turning over to show a queen and king (queens over kings). Jenny stops for a moment, then laughs and says "me too." Pocket kings (kings over queens). Ben is devastated and Jenny starts collecting the chips. Tom and Jono say "wait, you can still get a queen," turn over the last card... and it's a queen. Mass cheering and celebrations. Jenny isn't happy. We actually saw 2 four of a kinds tonight, I had 4 kings on the first hand I played (and grossly over bet and won very little).

I'd recommend watching this little video, similar hands and I'll venture a bigger pot:
