• Last night I played cards at Scott's  house. As if I needed anymore proof that Scott was gay, he spent the better part of 10 minutes talking with another guy at the table about which guys they find hot. In fact, he even has a list. Everybody has a list, so I don't feel the need to go any further. Ok, fine, I will go further. List as in celebrities who you are most attracted to. I swear, he is one midlife crisis away from leaving his wife for another man.

  This one guy I play cards with has a brother who is a doctor. He was telling us about how his brother was performing a surgery and one of his interns accidently sliced his hand open (of course, he was wearing rubber gloves, but it went through the glove as well) with a bloody scapel. The blood on the scapel (spelling please, I misspelled it so bad that spell check didn't even know how to correct it) was from a patient who is HIV positive. What are the odds of something like that happening? He doesn't know yet if he is HIV positive, in fact he might not know for another 6 months. Still, I found out that there is medication that one can take within 24 hours of a potential HIV infection which might cure the HIV, at least as is my understanding. Still what are the odds that something like that would happen.

  Dave had a very lucky night. Not only did he win both games of cards last night, he also had highest called hand of the night for an additional $15. Then on the way home we stopped off at Shell and he won $40 on a scratch off.

  As lucky as he was last night, I was as unlucky today. I woke up about 8:30 to a phone call from the guys that are coming to look at my kitchen floor. See, the tile is cracked and it feels like part of the floor is sinking. I of course have no idea how to do any of this so I'm hiring somebody to do it for me. So they got there and were looking at the floor. They decided to go into the crawl space to see if they can look at the floor. As it turned out, the crawl space has its own issues. There are some pipes down there that are leaking and the crawl space also needs to be rotted out. Because I have intentions of selling the house within the next year, I probably should get that fixed because as the guys said, it probably would not pass inspection. As for the floor it was sinking because the assholes that built the addition to my house did a very shoddy job and just crushed the plywood that was there to get the washed and dryer out. Also, they didn't replace the plywood, hence the sinking. Between the roof, the floor and the crawl space, my house needs thousands of dollars of repairs. And that's not even all of it, it needs more but that's all I'm going to do before I sell the house.

  So that was the start of my day. I still had plans to hang out with a guy I had been chatting with online for the past month and a half. Well, as it turns out, one thing led to another and we weren't able to hang out today. Then, to add insult to injury, I take one step outside my back door tonight (and I mean literally, one step) and I slipped on some ice and fell down the 2 steps resulting in the nastiest fall I have taken in years. My whole right side is sore and parts are cut and bruised.

  Oh, and tonight's episode of the Simpsons sucked.
