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 jar 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!

 

Diet?

Ξ July 12th, 2010 | → 0 Comments | ∇ garthe nelson |

OK, I have been seriously slacking on just about all fronts.

The World Cup has not been good for my schedule keeping me up at all hours of the night and generally also forcing me to down a significant number of beers that whole time too.

But it’s finally over. Congratulations to Spain on sneaking off with a win as The Netherlands couldn’t kick the ball in the ocean if they were standing on the beach and the Germans were denied a PK in the semifinal when Ozil was clearly knocked over in the penalty area.

Pretty fun 4 weeks of action but for the love of god, train some referees before the next 4 years rolls around. Or else start using video review. There were just too many game changing calls or no-calls for that level of play.

On another note, DIET!

OK, I haven’t been updating for a while, but I think I can sum up my diet for the last couple weeks pretty well in just a couple words: beer, nachos. I don’t know how nachos didn’t make it on the banned list but since they aren’t, that’s pretty much what I’ve lived on while enjoying the world cup and hardly sleeping.

Tonight I had my first relatively normal meal in a while, a salad of cabbage and assorted vegetables, fried chicken, watermelon, and a  gobou salad. I would say burdock root except that I had never heard of the word until I looked up gobou in my Japanese to English dictionary.

Stay tuned, more to come……..

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.
