Thursday night I got home ready to heat up my leftover pasta and rush to poker. Wouldn’t you know it but the microwave died…. sorta. Well, I’d set it for 5mins to heat and after 10sec it turns off. So I tried again and it did it again. So I tried 10min and after 30 sec it turned off. I wonder if I put it on for 2 hrs if it would have heated for 5 mins? Anyway, so I heated it up in the frying pan and headed off to poker.
My game of poker finished way before the 8:15pm half time break so headed to the shops to find a microwave.
I first nearly went to Homeart cos they have an “up to 80% off sale”.. but figured they’d not have a microwave so went to KMart. I then checked Target and found another better one so went back to go to KMart again and decided to check Homeart since I thought I saw a microwave up the back. There was a Cookwell Microwave 25L for $179 (down from about $299) so I grabbed that and two touchlamps for my bedside tables. I headed home and threw out the old microwave (which turned out to be 42L!) and installed the new one. The weird thing is this microwave does not have a clock on it to tell the time. Only the countdown for the cooking. Never heard of that before. It only has 5 buttons on it, but looks nice. I will take a photo and post it here cos I can’t find any Cookwell Microwaves on the internet to link to!
Sienna is asleep in the bedroom so I’ll just take a photo of the side of the lamp box and you can see:
Here you can see one of Sienna’s favourite sleeping places:
Yesterday some guys from work and I went down to the bridge in Brizzy and saw the jets doing a test flyover for the Brisbane River Festival:
I got a phonecall yesterday from my phone provider and they said I can upgrade to a new Nokia 6280 for FREE!!!!!!! Yay! I’ve about had enough of my Motorola A1000. Time for some new blud. This one will have better camera, faster boot times, less crashing and other stuff. I CAN’T WAIT TO GO! I’m so excited 
I’m going in on Monday and getting my new fone. I also get to keep my old mobile phone but have to sign another 2 year contract. Oh well. Gotta be connected through SOMEONE!
Had a fun day with Sienna today. We got up around 7:30ish (well I did. she got up earlier and went to watch tv). While having breakfast I remembered the Sydney Morning Herald had a free CD if you bought it today so we rushed off to the shops! I got my Beethoven CD played by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as well as some light bulbs for my lamps (who would think they wouldn’t come with bulbs??? everyone? oh ok..). I got a bubble making gun for Sienna and some toy boats for the bath.
When we got home I put on the washing (clothes and dishes) and we went out the front and planted some bulbs and seeds (not the light bulbs you nong!). She had so much fun doing that. She loves to help out around the house. I had bought some more solar lights during the week. Two for $10 so got four. We put them up the driveway so it lights up at night.
We played for a while then she watched some Little Einsteins and I put her to bed and she went to sleep in there. That gave me some time to type this up and play a few games of Texas Hold’em Poker on PartyPoker.com
That’s it for now cos it’s cutting into my Poker time

You mean you disabled it on purpose? If I’m reading the RSS feeds, I’m not going to click on ads, regardless of how hard you try to make me work to read your content… maybe you could add a splash screen… or maybe 2 flash screens, a couple of audio files, and do the entire thing in flash!
