Cool, things are mostly back to normal, whatever that is. Got some sleep at long last and it was good. I accidentally broke my B string on my guitar the other day and it was more frustrating than I thought to repair it. But at least now I can do proper low chords. Today I have been a proper slob! Downloaded some tab for Jimmy Eat World songs off the trusty net, and got a drive thru Burger King with my sister for lunch. Then watched Simpsons for most of the rest of the day. Nobody would ever guess I'm 21.
For a joke I applied to RBS for the position of insurance manager. Weirdly I made all the preliminary rounds and have a phone interview on Wednesday! Might have to lump a crappy job to pay off student debt quicker.
Worryingly I think I am getting a case of insomnia. This is the second night in a week it is stupid o' clock and I haven't even felt a twinge of fatigue yet.
In poker news I managed to lose the £400 I earnt over the two previous days. Then I went to a very scary table, £2.50/£5 pot limit. I had £220 left. The game I play, omaha high, is based around 5 communal cards and 4 cards dealt to you. You can only use 2 of the 4 cards you are given. In my hand was 10, 10. So I called it. A 10 comes on the 4th communal card out of 5, giving me 3-of-a-kind. Great, but I'm already behind the other 2 players who both have flushes. On a whim, I push all my money into the middle, and the board pairs on the final card, giving me a full house beating the two rivals. I then work my way up to £675 before quitting and calling it a night. Who said poker was a rollercoaster game?! ;)
Here are the lyrics to the song I haven't stopped listening to all week.

The End Of An Anchor
I was away for a while
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me
Though I don't deserve it
I'll cherish it well if you give me one of your new starts
Just one more last chance
I swear that I'll earn it
If you front me for now
I'm good for it I swear
I'm better now I swear
In earlier days, they'd persecute people
They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs
For lesser offenses, than how I have harmed you
And still you allow me to walk free of pain
Though I punish myself
I will never settle
The debts I've incured for scorning the face
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace
And though I once mocked you
I'm dying to pay for it now
I'm dying to pay for it now
So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound
To the end of an anchor thrown into the sound
And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get
I wasn't well for a while
I savored the things that I knew were sure to destroy me
And that seemed to hold me
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go
On the strength of my own
Well, I should've known
That gets me nowhere
I've learned that now I swear
In earlier days, they'd persecute people
They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs
For lesser offenses, than how I have harmed you
And still you allow me to walk free of pain
Though I punish myself
I will never settle
The debts I've incured for scorning the face
Of absolute beauty, and measureless grace
And though I once mocked you
I'm dying to pay for it now
I'm dying to pay for it now, now, now
So hand me the rocks to help weigh me down
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound
To then end of an anchor thrown into the sound
And test me to see if I will rise against the worst that it can get
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
Well, I wasn't sure that I could
But, I can
