Intelligence & Stamina

For most of the day, I've been reading a very interesting book called "The Science of James Bond". It goes into many different sciences including, physics, chemistry, forensics, ballistics and avionics just to name a few. The book looks at different gadgets used in the James Bond series and uses science principles to prove whether these gadgets are fiction or could actually be fact. It also includes historical backgrounds to gadgets and plots from the movie. Very fascinating.

I played boxing on Wii Sports and decided to get right into it. I threw punches like I meant it to hurt the person. I actually worked up a sweat! After I did that for a while, I played the training boxing and baseball games.

After dinner, Dad, Stephen and I went to my aunty's house to use her pool. It was nice to swim after a hot day.

Lauren just called me. I'm going over her house for a party on Saturday. Should be good!

You Only Get One Chance To Make A Good First Impression

Today I went to my Lisa and Ron's house for a barbecue lunch. We were greeted at the back door by their dogs Molly and Maurice. They are a very, very small breed of dog (I don't know what breed they are). They are so light and thin, you can pick them up with one hand. They are very shy dogs, but Molly liked the attention and Maurice would just quickly sniff you. I tried to pick him up and he squealed at me, which scared me. He didn't go near me after that.

They had a pool table, tennis table and dart board there, as well as an outdoor TV which was set to a music channel on Foxtel, which gave the get together a good feel. I only played one game of pool, in which I lost to Stephen by sinking the white ball after I had sunk the black. I really didn't feel like doing much because I was freezing cold, so I sat their shivering.

Mark brought over his girlfriend Angie to the get together. She is very friendly and took a special liking to Jamie and Marrissa, my two second cousins. What I didn't like was that she was always on the phone. She walked off to answer her phone twice while we were eating lunch. She also likes to hug people, as she gave hugs to my Uncle and Aunty, Mark's parents, went she arrived and when she left.

It was also Ricki's birthday and Lee came out with a surprise cake for her (her favourite apparently). It was so nice, I had two pieces. Lisa also brought out a whole lot of Trumpets. I was so tempted to have one, except I did want to be more cold than what I was.

Signing off.

AFL Grand Final

Today was the AFL Grand Final and we had a party at Uncle Rodney's house. He has a projector, so we were able to watch the game on the big screen. The game of Geelong verses Port Adelaide was so boring because it was a one-sided game. Geelong 24.19 (163) def. Port Adelaide 6.8 (44). Melanie won the betting. I met my new second cousin today, Joshua, son of David. He is very cute and he didn't cry very much. I played pool and only won one game. Stephen beat quite a few people. Stephen and I played darts (around the board). We got to the green section then Stephen gave up because he had already got a bullseye. We stayed for dinner and had burgers. We didn't get home to around 7 and Missy was so hungry! I watched Pretty Woman ten minutes ago, which I hadn't watched for awhile. Overall, it was a good day.
