It's almost BIOSHOCK 2 day. My plan for Tuesday is play poker until UPS comes and while the game installs on the PS3's hard drive.Then, aside from bathroom/food breaks (for both me and the puppy), I'm going to play the hell out of BIOSHOCK 2 until LOST comes on.
I've been grinding* my way through all the seasons of ALIAS on DVD. I only watched the show sporadically when it was on TV, and have owned season 1 on DVD for years. Then asked for and received season 2 for Christmas. After burning through that, I saw that Amazon had the remaining three seasons on sale, so I picked them up. I'm about to start season 4 today. I recall watching most of seasons 4 and 5 on TV since they were usually paired with LOST. Anyway, I go through about a disc a day, sometimes less.
* Why not apply gaming/poker terminology to marathoning TV series box sets? It certainly fits.
I've also read through quite a bit of HELLBLAZER, I just finished Mike Carey's run, which was probably the best run since Garth Ennis'. Some of the in-between issues were a bit of a chore to read, and I found myself skimming those.
Poker has been going well in February. I'm actually crushing it this month. (I've been running at 66 bb/100.) I'm probably jinxing myself by saying that though. Anyway, I've nearly made back everything I lost last month. My losing sessions have been few, and losses small. I haven't been putting as much volume in as I want to/should be. I know it's because I'm trying to quit while I'm ahead or breaking even. So instead of sitting down and playing 300-500 hands or whatever, I'm stopping if I've been losing and break even, or if I win a buy-in or two.

When I sit down to play poker, I usually to open a few different programs. Of course, I open the PokerStars client. But I also have to open Holdem Manager. Then I like to have a notepad open, with a text file reminding me of some of the mistakes I make, and where I can take various notes while I play. I also like to keep calculator open for when I need to do some math that I can't quickly do in my head. (Usually when an opponent's bet is an odd fraction of the pot like 3/11ths or whatever. So, being lazy, I decided that all that mouse clicking every time I sat down to play was sort of wasteful and created a small .bat file that I click on and it fires all that stuff up at once. I don't know why I didn't do that sooner.
