Fireworks!

Yay, biggest fireworks i've seen from the window upstairs today. Over the Glebe Island Bridge and over the city. I never know what they're for, but they do seem to be every other weekend or Friday! Whatever, it's cool to have fireworks all the time =)

The pasta dish I attempted was one I'd never tried before:

It turned out reasonably well. I don't think it was that great, but people finished their food and helped themselves to seconds so it can't have been too disgusting! :)

After dinner we amused ourselves with playing Table Tennis on the XBox 360. I find it really amusing that the table tennis game is made by Rockstar games, the same people who do the Grand Theft Auto series.

Having trounced Luke in our previous match I was brimming with confidence in the first match of the night. I shouldn't have been so confident. Luke managed to whip me dead in straight sets! What the hell happened?? Oh well. I managed to beat Brock and Ceez (and lose convincingly to Gareth also, but it's his xbox, so no shame there).

We played table tennis for a really long time, and by the time we'd finished it was time to call it a night. It was really good having everyone over for dinner and hanging out, especially on a friday night. I mentioned to Eugene on Saturday that it already felt like it was Sunday to me, since we'd done that on Friday night. I enjoyed preparing the food too, even though I wasn't totally impressed by the result. I don't think I'll cook that recipe again. Have to have people around more and cook more.
