Friday afternoon update

At lunch today I picked up NBA 2k9 for my PS3. I was almost swayed in the store when I saw NBA Live 09 offers a new feature where you can play as one of 24 international teams, meaning I could presumably play as Australia, and re-enact the Olympics, losing to the rest of the world. Then I remembered that for the last few years the NBA Live series has been really bad, and so went with 2K9. I'd be looking forward to firing it up tonight, except . . .


I have a poker game at my friend Josh Poyzer's place. Never played with his crew before, but he's told me they don't play for money. That's a noble idea and all but in my experience it doesn't work. Noone plays seriously if money isn't involved. Still, even if the poker sucks, I've got a six-pack of Coopers Dark Ale and a pack of Lime and Cracked Pepper chips, so I'm sure the night will be at least a moderate success.

For some reason people have been stealing from me lately. To start off with it was my mail - I haven't been receiving my magazine subscriptions since moving house (and yes, I did update my details). Now though it's my breakfast. I bought two Iced Coffees yesterday morning (just $4.50 at my local servo), with the intention of having one then, and saving the second one till today. When I went to our fridge at work this morning though it had disappeared. I don't understand who would steal something like that from their colleague?

Had the family round to dinner last night and cooked butter chicken. Definitely adding this one to my rotation. So simple - just chicken breast, butter, cream, and packet mix. And since most of those things come from nature it must be healthy too. Best part is the taste - not as good as restaurant butter chicken, but better than food court butter chicken.


That Batman movie sure is popular. Got to the movies on Tuesday night and saw the 8.30pm screening had already sold out - at 7pm - and this is months after it was released. Good movie and all, but wouldn't you have seen it by now if you were keen?
