The first half

Disaster

Another night of poker – once again I was wearing my purple boots in the hope that they would bring me luck.
The first half of the night was a disaster. The second half was a bit better.
Perhaps next time I should wear my flip-flops.

Don't you dare blame the mod boots. They've done nothing wrong.

Poker with your legs crossed?

Poker with your boots on the table.
Take them off first.

Your feet will freeze if you wear your flip flops now. It is -3 now but it feels like -11. NY is so terribly cold! Better lose some money than your toes.

Question: What is good cinema in NYC?

My ex stepmother was a professional poker playster in a bar for about six years.

Wear those flip flops, its a brilliant move, with stinky feet and try to clean those feet with your hands while playing poker, your opponents will go berserk, a state in which they cant concentrate.

You are looking for a decent movie theater in Manhattan?
Lincoln Plaza, Film Forum, Walter Reade and last but not least the MoMa.

And Anthology:

Quad is nice as well.

He wasn't bluffin with his muffin.
Being a female or a hermaphrodite would obviously help with this. But actually, then it wouldn't be bluffing.

Thanks!
Yes Arnon, I was looking for a decent movie theater. Thank you for your answer. At the theatres you mentioned they play some movies that have my interest like North face, The hunter locker and Reichsautobahn. Maybe next weekend I go to visit one of the theatres. Right now I am in my apartment with a bad cold so I do not go outside because of the low temperature.

I amafraid that sometimes you like to play a losing game.

you have a friendly face, in fact you are very friendly!
but to say, i have a beautiful face, isn't that a bit "anmassend"?
something different:
what's your favourite restaurant/cafe in berlin?

Important scientists from all over the world beg to differ with you: they find my face beautiful and they will do everything to preserve it for coming generations.

I still love Einstein in the Kurfürstenstraße, especially its garden.
