I'm sitting at my friend's house in Milwaukee looking out at several inches of snow. My flight leaves for LA in about 5 hours (where it's about 67 degrees right now) and I can't really play any poker because the batteries in my mouse died. The last week up here was completely relaxing - probably because I didn't need or want to play poker. Can't wait to get started again tomorrow, though.
I figure there will only be about 16 days that I'll be able to play once I'm back home. I'm coming home for Christmas (not a song-cue) around the 20th and the weekend of the 13th I'll be in Vegas (was supposed to play a gig backing the Temptations, but it got changed at the last minute...lame). Only 20k vpps shy of the 200k mark which, since the 4k bonus is released, will only take about 800 $60s to complete. Really, though, these bonuses will play out in a pretty fortunate pattern for me:
- I'm about 38500 fpps from purchasing the 1.5k bonus that I wanted to release before Jan. 1st (roughly 440 games at the $60s)
- 1.5k bonus will take 10k base fpps to release (400 games at the $60s)
- 400 + 440 games = 840 games (yay, simple math is all I'm good at) which puts me over 200k vpps and releases the 2k milestone bonus into the bonus account
- 10k base fpps later, or 400 more $60s, and the 2k bonus will be released
Unless I'm completely off-base here, if I can play 1240 60s this month I should be able to release the remaining bonuses I'd planned on in November. Plus, now that the break-even month is over, maybe I can get back to 6-7% roi at the 60s and get ready for some student loan payments!
Hopefully that will serve as ample motivation to play 75+ games per day until I go home.

I was going to make many comments while I was reading, instead of getting ready to go to work...but, they all flew out of my head when you said you were at a friends house YESTERDAY waiting for your flight back to la-la land.
You're fired.
You should really get in touch with Brooke, she might have additional hook-ups on some gigs out there. She doesn't live far from you. And by far, I mean like Milwaukee to FDL far. I'm sure LA is bigger that I can imagine.
You stay classy.
Dude, I have to say, playing poker to make ends meet probably beats the hell out of any joe job you could get in LA while waiting to gain some playing recognition.
When you become famous, you can have PokerStars or whatever site you play on sponsor you. You can put their logo on your bowtie or something.
Enjoy the not-snow.
