I've had some issues with fruit lately. My mom got me a fruit basket for my birthday. I'm a hard person to buy gifts for so don't automatically think that it's a bad gift. I actually like fruit a lot. Pears are the shit. There were 2 pairs in this basket.

Unfortunately, the basket got kind of buried in my room under some clothes and I forgot about it. A few weeks later, I noticed a couple of tiny flies in my bathroom, but I didn't think much of it. The next day there were a ton of them and it dawned on me that they were fruit flies. I thought, "why the hell are there a bunch of fruit flies in my room?" After about 10 seconds it hit me that I had a fruit basket buried under some clothes. I lifted up the clothes to find a sorry sight. The fruit had melted into a blue gue that was all over the basket and my floor. There were a ton of flies in the basket as well. I immediately took the basket out to the dumpster and cleaned up all the blue gue. I figured this would solve the problem. Kind of. Three days later my bathroom mirror was still covered with 50-100 flies. Not good. Eventually they started to disperse. Regrettably, the flies started appearing in other places in our house. My roommates were not too pleased. About a week later, they are mostly gone, which is good. However, that's not where the story ends.

Last night I was up until about 2am frolicking through SNGland. After you grind a long session late into the night, you aren't always on top of things mentally. On my way to my room I stopped in the kitchen to fill up a glass of water. While filling it up I saw a banana and decided it was a good bedtime snack. I finished the banana in my room and tossed it in the trash can in my bathroom. Dumb. Within 15 minutes a swarm of flies had reappeared from nowhere and were chilling on my banana peel. Where they came from I don't know, but I knew it wasn't good. The smart move here would have been to walk to the kitchen and put the peel in our sealable trashcan out there. That's not what I did. In a move of brilliance I decided to flush the peel down the toilet. My though process was, "A banana peel is about the same size as a piece of shit, so this shouldn't be a problem." Wrong. My toilet is now clogged and I'm going to have to go buy a snake to fix it. What a dumb spot to be in.

The moral of the story is don't assume something will flush down the toilet because it is similar in size to a piece of shit.

Apparently people think I'm cakefarts on Cake. I'm not. I love that name though.

I finished up my month of poker last night because I don't have any time to play today. I'm happy with how the month went. My ROI was 7% for 1000 games. I'd like to get in more games, but I don't know how realistic that is. It's nice to see some progression with my results in SNGs. I've pretty much consistently improved from month to month over the past 6 months.

What happens in vegas was on when I turned on the TV a few minutes ago. The movie seems downright awful. However, I feel like they could have pulled it off if Cameron Diaz was 6-8 years younger. I used to be a big fan of Diaz (think the Mask), but it's clear that she's lost it. Her face just looks old. Sad.
