I made Silver status on Stars yesterday, and had an up day.

I had a little time in the evening and played a $1 LHE and $1 5 card draw MTT. I placed in the LHE tourney for just about my combined entry fees. It seems that every time I play a MTT and get close I end up thinking "wow, that was an incredible waste of time." Draw is a strange little game with no up card information. The $438 NL25 is still iminently accessible on the nearterm horizon.

I've found that most creativity happens in periods of adversity. So since things are going OK for me right now, I don't really have any creative writing going, although I do have a couple of ideas.

Song of the Day: I wanted to mention a couple of Spanish pop songs. I think the exoticness of a song in a different language is interesting, because if you listen to the English songs that the Spanish like, for example, you find yourself saying "yuck! that's crap." So it would be interesting to hear how a Spaniard likes the Spanish songs I like.... probably not as much since the exoticness is lost. Anyway, these are from a compilation from a couple of years ago, and are just good pop songs:

Morena Mia by Miguel Bose (the bass and the vocal impression are just wonderful), La Playa by La Oreja de Van Gogh (nice vocals and melody), Siempre by Duncan Dhu (pure pop, maybe even a wedding-type song)
