I've been pretty quite this weekend. I spent most of yesterday on the couch watching things on the TiVo. I've also started my new project, Changes - Turning Over a New Leaf, and spent almost all of last night working on it. As soon as it's make skinnable, it should be ready to go.

I also played several tournaments over at Paradise Poker and managed to place second in almost all of them.

I also couldn't resist the siren song of The P22 Club any longer and signed up before I forgot to since the offer is only good until January 31st. I also bought the first season of 24 on DVD for Steven since his birthday is coming up.

All in all, it was a typical weekend. Spent a lot of time online and with Steven, played pool and poker, worked on my blog, and just generally relaxed. Shame it has to be Monday already!

I thought I'd steal a page from Christine and Kristine's books and list five blogs on Friday that are new to me. Here's the first of my Discovery Friday!

.: Avocado Couch - I'm a sucker for a cool domain and this one is cool. Check it out.

.: Little Black Cat - a literary journal that I need to make sure I copy some of these book titles from. Great place if you're a reader.
