Summer's boring...

Some updates:

- Should have my exam results any time now. According to last year, Monday is par, so we'll have to see. Given the shit post service round here, I'll wait a week or so.

- I've switched to playing $1 5 table SNG's on Stars about 75% of the time now, with the rest still being micro PLO8. Mainly because I've hit a streak of form and am ripping them up. Over the past week or so I've had three 2nd's, two 3rd's and a fifth (disappointed that I couldn't convert more of those to wins considering I claim to be able to play very short handed... blew one with a 30:1 chip lead heads up and lost a race in another with 98% of the chips in preflop), and have run the bankroll up to around $70 from a nadir of $10 last month. I hope this is Harrington kicking in and not just a really lucky streak. It probably is, the standard is very poor, but at the same time it's still possible to bully with a big stack.

- The Lions tests have been disappointing. Mainly because Woodward doesn't have a clue with respect to the backs. Wilkinson isn't a 12. Thomas isn't a 13. Williams is too small to play 11. It should have been Peel, S Jones, Lewsey, Henson, O'Driscoll, Robinson, Thomas in the first test.

- Radiogrounds is really quite good.

- Job hunting is wank. Hopefully I'll nail this library job in Sheffield that'll be good for August onwards. Manpower called me in last Friday to register (and the Spoons on Petersgate stocked Tiger which was nice), but haven't found me anything yet. I've got an interview in Sheffield for some work during fresher's week this Thursday. Adecco offered me night shelf stacking at B&Q so I told them where to go (if I drove, I'd have considered it).

- That's about it. I've been mostly playing Madden, Prime 2 is lacking appeal, had about half an hour on it in Torvus the other day, but died one room from a save point, losing everything from first arriving there to the save after the super missiles.
