Diet update

Ξ July 30th, 2010 | → 0 Comments | ∇ garthe nelson |

Been a little remiss on the diet updates. But then I haven’t been eating very regularly anyway.

Breakfast is pretty muck the same every day: cereal and some fruit. Was pretty excited about the arrival of peach/apricot/nectarine season. What a disappointment THAT’s been. Who would imagine that peaches could be so lovingly cared for, arrive at the market each tenderly cradled in it’s own styrofoam basket, and then end up tasting just like said styrofoam? Well wet styrofoam I guess.

The apricots were worse.

Thank god for the nectarines!

The rest of the diet is pretty much Family Mart sandwiches, imitation doritos and fruit/vegetable juice.

The occasional stop at the Black Lion also calls for a plate of nachos and gallons of oolong tea.

Oooooh! Maybe that’s something I haven’t updated everyone on. Jenn seems to think I lack will power and has bet 30,000 hold myself to 0 beers until after the world series of mahjong next month. Actually, I guess it’s really just a free roll as I don’t have to cough up any cash when I fall off the wagon.

Well, who knows, maybe I’ll make it. Currently 12 days in and I have to last until the 22nd or actually just whenever I donk out of the tournament.

Maybe I’ll even celebrate by NOT having a beer.

 

真夏?

今日は今年の最初のセミを聞こえた。

ついに夏が来ましたって感じ。

しかも今日は35度らしい!

ま、実は出身のSacramento, Californiaはあまりかわらないけど、湿気があまりないからまだまだそんな死にそうでもない。

東京もうたえられない。助けて!

セミの鳴き声で真夏だって忘れるかな

Working on some special show about Paris Hilton.

Wonder if anyone will notice that the hotel manager in Russia seems to have a side job as Hilton’s modeling manager

 

優勝したとき

まだまだ優勝したところの自慢!!!

今週の日曜日、千点棒御茶ノ水店で大会が行って、勝っちゃった!

本当に超嬉しい!

だって、初めて、どこでもの優勝。

結局、勝った理由は多分この手だけ。。。

さっきの手で鳴いたりして5巡目で1000点あがったところ。一回戦、東四局、僕の親番、ドラは5d、僕の配牌:

1c2c6c7c8c2d3d6d7d1b6b7bwestwhite

第一打ちは1bで、ツモは:

5b2c5c5d !!!!

すごくない?!でもさっき1d、が出たばっかりだから、もう間に合ってないかなと思って、半秒くらい悩んだ。そしてリーチ!一発のツモは4d!8000オールでもう54,000点で一回戦も決まった。

しかも次の配牌、ドラは3d

2d3d3d3d8d2b3b4b4b6b7bwestnorth

これでもすぐテンパってまた12,000点取れた。麻雀は簡単だね!

でもやっぱり勝つときはこんな感じ。無理矢理押してることじゃなくて、手が勝手に入ってくれる。

一回戦で75P取ったらその後はちょっとだけ稼いだら、簡単に優勝しちゃいました!

Wooooooooooooooooooooo!

次の大会はいつだろう!

早くしろ!

About

    Gartheeeism originated somewhere in the latter half of the 20th century and is distinguishable from the other great monotheisms by its first commandment: keep all days holy by not working on any of them. Sometimes not-work falls into the Mahjong category, playing tournaments or especially Konami’s Mahjong Fight Club video arcade game. Sometimes it takes the form of acting or posing for Japanese TV dramas or baseball uniform catalogs. It also sometimes includes a fair amount of poker, online or otherwise. Finally, there’s the occasional English lesson, often accompanied by a beer or three. Garthe follows in the footsteps of greats like John Smith and L. Ron Hubbard who knew that there’s no better business than having your own religion.
