Long Time No Post

Came back tonight trying to find my old posts about last year's WSOP bet I had with my friend Ryan.  I wanted to use the same format again this year but am having trouble finding it.
 
Anyway, it has been forever since I posted here.  I can't believe I have played almost no poker since last September.  Reading some of these old posts gets me in the mood to play again.  The competition/strategy is what I was so addicted to, not just the "gambling" side of the game.  I was crazy busy during this last school year.  I was student teaching which was awesome but left me with no time at all to play.
 
Now that it is summer again I am finishing three online classes to officially graduate, working at the same old summer camp, and looking for a teaching job (nearly impossible in Michigan).  Long story short, I may start playing a little bit again.  Hopefully I still have a slight idea how to play.
 
Hi to everyone that used to comment: deiyuo, grlg, natepringle, jaspinal and others.  Hopefully I will have some tourneys to post soon.

Best Movies?

Hey, I know this is a really broad question but I am trying to put together a must-see list of movies...I always hear about or see movies and say to myself how bad I would like to see that movie and then forget later so I want a list! And I am bored...
 
Give me some ideas...

September 9, 2008, 11PM: Made $2.71 at PokerStars
$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (104th out of 1755 Players)

I had a really big stack early in this tourney and got brutally unlucky to lose it.  But after I hit the money I got very lucky to get back to a workable stack so that evened out kind of.
