August has been a shit month poker wise. I really don't know how anyone can run this bad. Being an underdog when you're supposed to be a 19:1 favorite isn't much fun. Today was my first real solid day of the month, and I believe the first day where I didn't run under expected AIEV. Instead, I ran less than a BI above and made $1.5k + FPPs. I'm also starting to feel comfortable at 400nl, and feel I'm game selecting well enough to be very +EV there on the tables I play. I think I've played around 1% of my volume there so far this month, which isn't terribly significant but it is still nice. I believe around 10-15% has been at 200nl.
Two days ago my tenant/roommate/poker student and I went to Warped Tour. Saw some good bands including Hit the Lights, Valencia, All Time Low, Silverstein, We the Kings, and There For Tomorrow. It was a good time, though there's a good chance it will be my last Warped. Getting too old for this stuff.
Earlier this month Stars put in a $300 reload bonus, which is a good chunk of free money. The reload and first deposit bonuses have really brought in the fish, and game quality has definitely improved. Of course, since the fish are favorites with two outs and one card to come, it doesn't translate into more money.
You may also have noticed that I've crossed the 75% barrier on my journey to Supernova Elite. It is somewhat difficult to motivate myself to play long sessions these days because I'm so far ahead of pace, but at the same time I know I'll appreciate some time off late in the year. Hopefully I reach SNE in November. It would take nothing short of a cataclysmic event to prevent my reaching the goal at this point.
Oh, I've also entered ChicagoJoey's Fantasy Football League this year, and I'm looking forward the season. I'm a FFB fiend, and while the $200 BI was more than leagues I've played in the past it'll just motivate me to do my homework and draft well.
Sorry for not updating the blog more often. I know it's been awhile, but pretty much all I would have posted in the last couple weeks would have been ranting about how poorly I've been running, so it's probably for the best.

Two things:
1) Warped - Are you 33 years old yet? If not then you still have time. My cousin for the entire thing and she loved it.
2) If you are so far ahead of pace, is it possible that your goad needs to be shifted. A goal should inspire you not leave you going "Well, Who gives a damn I'll have a break". Perhaps reviewing your plan and shifting it to meet where you are now, and not where you were 8 months ago...
Just a couple of thoughts. Love the blog keep it up.
