Is That A Rocket in Your Pocket?
Tuesday, July 04, 2006

Poker’s a good tranquilizer, especially when you get pocket rockets mid-game. Seeing those two aces was absolutely yummy. I guess when you’ve spent the past few weeks just trudging through schoolwork, trying to believe that you’re making some sort of progress, any sense of affirmation seems legitimate. Even if it’s from a deck of cards.

I semi-won both games last night. Hooray for trivial victories. At the rate I’m going, I’ll take what I can get.

Come to think of it, tranquilizer isn’t the right word. It’s not like I was careening down the halls since senior year began. Quite the opposite. Marie and I agreed that we hit the ground running (our idiom of the moment) this schoolyear, and while that may be true in terms of my workload, it isn’t in terms of how I actually go through each day. As I’ve mentioned, I trudge. Slog. Crawl. Usually in the direction of the nearest spog, which makes time even more viscous.
