ALBA: I think my trip through the poker desert is over, at least today and probably tomorrow, too. I've played about 12 times this week--11th, 5th, 2nd yesterday, the win earlier this week. I am really proud of my play advancing almost to the point where I usually get busted by getting outdrawn (i.e., getting my money in with the best hand and the giddy fickle middle finger of fate coming into play and rarely getting trumped by the three, two, or single hand(s) they might have that can beat me, in which case I say "nh" and go "Well, the odds on that were pretty small. That's poker." I've been laying down two pairs and outdrawn three of a kinds recently, and that is some hard shit to get away from. I think something not noted about the proliferation of Tex on TV is that it gives so many myriad options to improve if not wholly overhaul whatever your style is, and you can pick and choose what you're going to take from the best players in the world. Old me was just getting lucky, more or less; me now is actually a good player. Great is way too egotistical for even me to believe at this point, but I definitely feel like I'm...I dunno, like 85th percentile or something. I suppose we'll find out next Saturday night.
GONZALEZ: Heard back from the unemployment office; turns out that firing was justifiable and I won't be getting the 90 bucks a week. (bitterly) Thank you, President Ford.
ALBA: there was that night that we thought that John Berryman could fly/but he didn't so he died... I am sooo close to renaming the blog a line from that song. Lazy Undisciplined Sleeping Late, mayhaps?
ALBA: Guess who's rocking the 2nd Uncast Sunday? Oh, yeah. You should get the first since Danny and Vicki did an actual debut that didn't blow chunks in the least, and if you don't know, now ya learnin'. It should be going up late Sunday/early Monday.
ALBA: San Diego is getting its own sort of bootleg Bootie all-mashup songs night club starting on the 7th, and you wouldn't believe who's in some early talks thanks to online forums about helping with the playlist. Then again, you are here. Maybe you would.
ALBA: You seen Sideshow Bob's sister on the Idle? Oh, I would chutney in those mangos...ya feel me? Ya feel me?! Ahhh, ya feel me.
GONZALEZ: I cannot stay asleep past 9 a.m. anymore--we're living odd because the apartment across from us is empty and getting shown. That living room shares a common wall with my bedroom. The one above from us had some sort of infestation and/or moveout, so upstairs they are banging and moving shit around on our roof.
ALBA: The novel (which at this point is still somehow unnamed, since I am beginning to sour on calling it Spin Spin Sugar given it's more hip-hop than whatever the fuck pointless label you'd like to assign the original Sneaker Pimps) is writing itself, at least for the next few scenes. It's excellent how new ideas present themselves as I write. When you wait for The Muse to come along, it's part of the feast or famine mentality. KRS-One feels me on this; maybe Libby, too. When it's not working it feels like It Will Never Work Again but when it does you become less "I'm writing a story" and more like court stenography.
ALBA: Watching the Bush-helmed chain of fools come apart is making for some especially awesome Daily Shows, Repors and Countdowns. Anybody else see the palpable sexual tension between Katie Couric and Stephen last night? Is it wrong I find Katie Couric attractive?
uhh: So I was writing the other day and this blonde sits across from me, which is usually good but she's too hot for Brittany. This is also usually good but since I am trying to be Serious Writer it's a problem. (The old brain-vs-penis chess game, y'understand?) And then the sweater comes off and holy Roger and Zapp, More Bounce to the Ounce. The tank top is stru-guh-ling. I lasted about 20 minutes and then I had to get to another computer and focus, dammit.
ALBA: On Broadway, my former favorite place in town but now merely a contender to the throne, is having a fun localized MySpace party next Thursday. Should be great; one of my favorite mashup DJs, 20 localized hotties (including a couple I know, go fig), and, most importantly to Rob, an hour-and-a-half of a hosted vodka bar. No sin greater, no rapture more exquisite...(Homer drool sound)
GONZALEZ: Why were all my out-of-town friends more than willing to have free vodka with me at an awesome place packed with hot girls getting drunk St. Guinness Day and none of my local ones? Hmm.
ALBA: Will headline the new Cuarenta Caliente out tomorrow, and this will probably be discussed in the Uncast.
GONZALEZ: I am finding ways to be broke. I have a little, but since I assumed unemployment was coming I restarted my account to get a debit card. It's going through processing. Hopefully it'll get here in the next couple days so I can e-file the taxes and score the big return money. That'll let me pay off some of the rent I owe and harvest the rest.
ALBA: The family is leaving for the chickball Final Four next weekend, which is great on its own. But they're also going back home to the Burgh so I get a week FREE to wallow in my crapulence. #1: Write whenever I want. #2: Drink. #3: When in doubt, go back to #2. #4: Poker night next Saturday. #5: WrestleMania at Hooters! #6: #2--really good idea. #7: Make sure AA's still for quitters. #8: Also, writing.

That's Why I've Done It Again
6 hours sleep in 2 days.
Wasn't a problem when my 2 pair beat top pair and second pair to force a showdown I had a 3:1 advantage in.
Wasn't a problem winning 80% of the heads-up, usually where I'm weakest.
Wasn't a problem flopping top pair when he went all-in with second pair.
3 months.
3 tournament wins.
Good heavens. Could it be I'm getting no no no notorious?

Friday Barometer: Dead Or Alive
Kristin at E! is about yeaclose to making the On Notice list--
You may have seen my earlier report that Veronica Mars has been canceled.
Well, let me just say that though I heard this heart-wrenching info from six--yes, six--reliable sources on both the network and studio side...apparently that news may have been somewhat misguided. See, although this "cancellation" rumor ran rampant around all sectors of Hollywood today, it turns out the picture is more complex than a straight canceled-or-not-canceled scenario.
At this hour, here's what I can tell you:
I just heard from Veronica mastermind and showrunner Rob Thomas, who tells me, "If we're cancelled, I certainly don't know about it."
And according to CW insiders, the CW has not officially canceled Veronica Mars. However, here's the catch: They are currently considering a different format for the fourth season. From what I hear, that format would leap four years into the future and focus on Veronica Mars as an FBI agent. Aside from returning star Kristen Bell (duh), the rest of the cast is yet to be determined, but it isn't likely that many of her current co-stars would be on board.
So bottom line: Veronica Mars could be: 1) spinning off into a new format, 2) returning in her college years or 3) getting canceled.
And let me just say, number 3 could be a very real possibility, so it is most definitely time to rally the troops before it's too late! If you care about Veronica Mars and want it to survive (and if you're a fan of good TV, I know you do!), please comment below with your name and message of support. And email your friends the link of this column so they can do the same. (I will forward your comments to the powers that be at the CW.)
Then, please send your "Save Veronica" postcard or letter to:
Dawn Ostroff
President of Entertainment, The CW Television Network
4000 Warner Boulevard, Bldg 168
Burbank, CA 91522-0002
And pardon me while I step onto my soapbox and advise the CW: cancelling Veronica Mars would be a mistake of epic proportions. It is by far the best thing going on the green net, and one of the most addictive, smart, funny and well-written series ever to air on television. The fans would not take its cancellation lightly.
(P.S. That Pussycat show makes me want to gauge out my eyes.)
Now, VM fans unite! Comment away below for the love of good TV!
I got property to belong to! What's my purpose without it!?

The day we’ve all dreaded has come, tubers.
With actual tears in my eyes, I must tell you that I’ve heard from several solid sources that the CW has decided not to bring Veronica Mars back for a fourth season.
Though official word has not yet come down from the network, I did hear from creator Rob Thomas earlier this week, who told me things weren’t looking good: “I’ve never been less certain of our fate. I’m afraid I’ve gone from cautiously optimistic to something less than that.”
More on this later. I’m just too distraught to write more right now.

A Two Word Philosophy Lesson
Start in 2nd, 23.5. Leader at 43. Two really small stacks right next to him at under 200, and of course he's after me. JAoff. Keep raising but the leader doesn't go away, which works fine when I get a Jack on the turn for two pair with the board. Now I have the 47 and he has the 19 (who goes that nuts with case 6s facing a raise and a reraise? Starting to think I can handle this table.)
Break.
I review the chip stacks and decide with this large a lead to only play premium hands and let some of the commoners kill each other in their rush to seize the castle. It helps 2nd through 6th are seperated by only about 5k.
7th place goes all-in and gets called twice. 7th place is now 9th.
Now one of the baby stacks is in. They get called twice. They get 8th.
And it's the other baby stack's turn. 3 calls, including me with 10Qoff. I don't like the flop and get out at minimum expense. Baby stack had pocket Kings and gets crib death anyways (the former chip leader hung onto 23suit and then made trip doubles.) 7th.
Second place behind me has about 29k. A fold. J7 spades? No.
98 spade? Sure. Raise it up, make it rain. Table runs like the scared little bitches they are; finally a table that respects when the chip leader whips it out and swings it around!
Now it's 3rd-6th on about the same level. So I hold off a bit longer.
That takes two hands--hellooooooooo, Jacks! Aw, you went all-in with JAoff? Well, allow me to retort! FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIF!
Up to 65, about 2.5x ahead of 2nd. Mahvelous.
Second makes a flush to bounce a straight and get to 40. Then there were 4.
I play K8off for a pre-flop raise. They scurry. 2nd and the former chip leader keep going after each other, which goes fine by me.
A10off. Two folds. Big money raise time! That's right, you fold. Bitch.
Former chip leader takes 2nd back.
Then first through me. Huge raises with Jacks on the board and I only had 6s. You would've thought I'd learned. He's got 58, I'm at 44.
He loses to Wayne, the former 2nd, to put HIM in the lead the next hand.
And then I get Anna Kournikova and a K26 flop to match. Hi, chip lead! Miss me?
Hi, MY HAND ACE QUEEN! 10-J-9 flop. Last place beats my archrival, who is now in last. The spread is 40k to about 25k, so every hand is something.
Somehow I get two pair out of Q6off to stretch the lead a little.
I decide to see a flop free with 98off and get a flop with an 8. But a 10 too. Check the King. River Jack means I fold my Aaron straight.
Raise with 9Q suit. 9s in the flop. I take it down.
1) former last -- 37k
2) me -- 36
3) Wayne - 35
4) HIM - 25
9Asuit and big raise from the top 2. 782flop4turnand a queen on the river dooms me. I had 1st until then. Now Wayne & I are practically co-2nd.
Former last is up to 53 with the rest of us scrapping in the late 20s.
HE gets the best of Wayne, who drops to about 14. HE gets up to 40. I no longer can find a hand.
10Koff. Nevermind.
And double nevermind. Nothing comes except chip loss, to the leader at that.
4Ksuited in the blind? What--two pair! YAY! A healthier 3rd at 28, I am. And I stuck it to HIM.
Anna comes back to me. Preflop raise for the duckets.
1) "Last" - 56
2) HIM - 36
3) Me - 29
4) Wayne - 12
J7suit and I push the button. Everyone calls and the flop is daunting. Wayne goes all-in and I don't call with my 2 pair. Straight. GFL. Wayne to 30, HIM to 20. Wayne over HIM again to 40.
A6. Ace on the river. I raise. Leader is all in with AJ.
I'm down to two sixes.
And there one is! How ABOUT that?
me -50 Wayne - 35 "Last" - 26 HIM - 15
Then HE leap frogs Wayne to get into 2nd. More bad hands I play minimally, if at all.
Two calls with Q10suit. Queens on the flop, suited JA after. Eep. There the lead went.
I tilt all-in with A10off. They run. It then occurs to me I'm still in 2nd. Whoops. Part bad beat, part screaming bladder, I suppose. "Last" snatches the lead off HIM.
This is hardcore.
Wayne doubles up into 2nd. It took 3 hands from "Last" to first to last. That hardcore.
I bluff with K7 off and take down a pot.
"Last" is back in first, dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!
I lose a winning hand--but "LAST" takes him out.
I'm last at 19, Wayne at 38, "Last" at 74. I see an ace. All-in. Take the blinds. Anna, all-in. More blinds.
All-in with high two pair.
Only one combination of two cards can beat me.
They do.
That's poker.

J7suit and I push the button. Everyone calls and the flop is daunting. Wayne goes all-in and I don't call with my 2 pair. Straight. GFL. Wayne to 30, HIM to 20. Wayne over HIM again to 40.
A6. Ace on the river. I raise. Leader is all in with AJ.
I'm down to two sixes.
And there one is! How ABOUT that?
me -50 Wayne - 35 "Last" - 26 HIM - 15
Then HE leap frogs Wayne to get into 2nd. More bad hands I play minimally, if at all.
Two calls with Q10suit. Queens on the flop, suited JA after. Eep. There the lead went.
I tilt all-in with A10off. They run. It then occurs to me I'm still in 2nd. Whoops. Part bad beat, part screaming bladder, I suppose. "Last" snatches the lead off HIM.
This is hardcore.
Wayne doubles up into 2nd. It took 3 hands from "Last" to first to last. That hardcore.
I bluff with K7 off and take down a pot.
"Last" is back in first, dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!
I lose a winning hand--but "LAST" takes him out.
I'm last at 19, Wayne at 38, "Last" at 74. I see an ace. All-in. Take the blinds. Anna, all-in. More blinds.
All-in with high two pair.
Only one combination of two cards can beat me.
They do.
That's poker.

Now THAT'S What I'm TALKING ABOUT!
Hell yes I wrote two chapters. Hell yes I did the template change I wanted last month in 3 minutes. Oh, I'm ready for it. C'mon. Bring it.

Follow The Leader (1.2)
I think in issue 3 next fortnight I might run through my entire playlist of mash-ups I made for a couple interested friends called the Island of Misfit Songs. But until then...
CSS > Pretend We're Dead/I Wanna Be Your J'Lo
Things I know about CSS--
1) CSS is an acronym, and it's French for Cansei Ser Sexy. (What that means in French, I have no clue; all I can do in French is kiss, toast, and offer to sleep with you. I assumed that was the extent of French knowledge I needed, to be fair.)
2) They remind me of a more glammed/electroed out Runaways.
3) I Wanna Be Your JLo is funny.
4) I found these songs via the Forkcast.
IF You Can Download Only One...
Lily Allen > Smile
Every once in a while, the hype's actually true.
Smash-Up Derby > Talking Franz
"Take Me Out" + "Burning Down The House" = \m/. They have a few other live-styled mashes which you can find here.
Tool > The Pot
Because I like Tool.
John Mayer Trio > Who Did You Think I Was?
This was between solo albums for Chappelle's boy, and you can see him starting to skim the pool of what his newest release was about to get into. Even though it clocks in at a quick three minutes, the lyrics and bluesy guitar make it go by even quicker than that.
Tag Team, Back Again, Check And Direct And Let's Begin > Whoomp! (There It Is)
I'm taking you back to the old school. I am an old fool. But I'm so cool. (Shouldn't that be these four words mean you're getting busy?)
