Feb. 19th, 2007 12:36 pmHave been suffering agonies in my left shoulder for about 18 hours, only partially alleviated by Nurofen and Deep Heat. It's almost certainly due to the knotting of the muscles while practising on the piano, added to my normally dreadful posture when playing online.
The pain actually woke me up at 4.15, despite me having only gone to bed at midnight.
This gave me the opportunity to lose a few dollars on Ultimate. The month continues to be a struggle and I didn't see a "good" game all weekend. It was very much a matter of up a bit, down a bit, breaking even over the three days and thank god for rakeback/bonus dollars.
I'm in severe danger of running out of Ultimate Bet bonus dollars, something I never thought would happen. I don't have rakeback deal there, either. This could lead to some necessary reassessment of things in the near future. The Noble Deposit bonus runs out at the end of March and, given the paucity of games on the site, I have no hope of clearing even half of it.
So, unless some startling new offer crops up, I might be stuck with having to play properly. That would be a good excuse to move up in stakes and see what happened, anyway.
President's Day today, so there might be some action on Ultimate this afternoon. Although, if this morning's triple rock-fest was anything to go on, there won't be.
+++++
I've just finished John Boyne's The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas and I recommend it highly. Is it a children's book that went askew, because the subject matter pushed the author in another direction? I'm not sure, but I do know that Boyne writes remarkably well. Not only is it a story well-told, but it was only this morning that I realized how brilliant Boyne is in visual descriptions. Rarely has such a book left so many pictures in my head. Marvellous.
