First, I get a bottle of wine from someone for fixing their PC. A nice 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon!!

I played poker tonight as usual and since it was not a tournament night (the next tournament starts Sunday night) not many people turned up.  Since not many people turned up there was much more merchandise to go around.

KA-CHINGGGGG!!

Here is what I got tonight:

VB Tshirt. VB keyring. Woodstock Kentucky Bourbon Limited Edition cap.

Aristocrat Money Train stubby holder.

Sweeeeeeeeet!

At first we just had ’stuff around’ games of Texas Hold’em Poker (No limit). If you got out, you just got another two stacks of chips and away you went again.

After the break, we packed up all the $25 and $100 chips and had stacks of $1,000 chips (16 each). A shame cos I was chip leader with one other guy. We were doing well but had to start from scratch again. So, since there were only two tables playing we soon had people out and merged into one table. I made it to the last 6 players.

Unfortunately, I went “All In” (bet all my chips) on a pair of wired 9’s (two nines) and another guy had two tens!! On the flop I got another 9 (last flop card) so I had trips (three nines) and was cheering loudly. Then came the turn.. nothing for anyone.. then the river.. … … A F*&KING TEN!!!!! So he had 10 trips and I had 9 trips and he won the rest of my money (only about $6,000 anyway). Ah well. I stayed around and watched the rest of the game until one person had all the chips then headed home. A real fun time out and no pressure.. just a bunch of friendly people having a great night out!

Sunday night starts the tournament over again so I expect we will be back up to 70-80 players or so, which is about 7-8 tables playing (ten a table).

Tonight I logged onto the Reading Cinemas website and saw that in ten minutes Barnyard would be on at the movies. I quickly closed all the windows in the house and got Sienna and I ready and we ran out the door. We got there with plenty of time due to advertisements and grabbed a large popcorn, large Solo drink and some Natural snake lollies.

We got our seat and watched the show. Sienna really loved it. She was laughing through most of the show and even stayed awake for the whole thing. It started at 6:30pm and went until about 8pm. She did have a sleep earlier in the day, though which probably helped.  We had a great time watching the silly cows standing up and doing silly things. She didn’t even seem to mind when the nasty coyotes did their thing (I won’t give it away). It was a bit scary then sad, but she still enjoyed the show. I guess if we all lived through Bambi then it’s not so bad. Kids these days are more desensitized aren’t they?

That was the first time I’ve taken Sienna to a cinema and she had a really good time. Now I know I can take her to them from time to time

AMD will sell processors to Apple in future, CEO Ruiz says

“Hector Ruiz, chief executive officer of Advanced Micro Devices Inc., said Apple Computer Inc. will eventually buy its semiconductors to provide an alternative to Intel Corp. chips,” Ian King and Ron Day report for Bloomberg. 

Bet ya nVidia chips are the next thing to support !

What a damn good movie. Some really good martial arts. Some babes fighting. Some panty shots. Some titty shots. Naked Holly Valance.  And I knew Jaime Pressly would scrub up nice outside of “My Name is Earl”.

The story was great and the fighting magnificent. I gotta get this when it comes out on DVD.

They shoulda had the fight with the girls and the warriors.

Helena was okay but I go for Holly all the way. She’s yum and especially in this movie

Four starts outta Five. Maybe an extra half star for the half naked girls

Green Wing is on TV again, if you didn’t guess by now

My Poker didn’t go as well the last couple of times. I mean last night it went OK but not as good as it could have. My brain was in PARK. Don’t ask me which park it was in.. I bet a couple times when I thought I had a good hand when I in fact had nothing at all. Missed by one card. At least I made it through the break which was better than the Thursday before. This time I had $1000 through the break.

Tonight I did better at Ten Pin Bowling than last week. I got there earlier and got some practice and tips, so that was quite good. I might go an extra night a week as I can pay $3.95 per game instead of the usual. Maybe some Tuesdays if there’s nothing at all on at the movies. Still gets me a night out.

Had a great weekend with Sienna. We just took it easy as we both weren’t 100% Good to see her as always tho. Got a parent/teacher night on this Thursday night. I’ll see how she’s been doing at kindy.

I bought a couple of books today from Borders bookshop.

• The Power of Intention: Learning to Co-create Your World Your Way by Dr. Wayne W Dyer

I’ve just about finished reading Beginners Guide to Reality by Jim Baggott.
