Finally! The long anticipated next Grand Theft Auto title has been confirmed for an October 2007 release. And the best thing for Xbox owners such as myself, it will not be exclusive to PlayStation this time!

Imagine my shock when i saw this on the news last night.
My building at University has been responsible for seven brain tumors over the last 5 years, 2 of them cancerous. Authoirties think it's because of the mobile phone towers on the roof because only people in the top floors of this 17 story building.
Luckily for me, only the top 2 floors have been affected, and the highest i go for my classes is level 9.

More information

Also, I learned that last friday, floors 3, 4 & 5 were flooded after a routine check of the fire hoses didn't go so routinely.

I'm now level 12: evil bert! I didnt even notice i went up a level! Probably from all that blog posting. But i love the "evil bert" emblem.

Nathan Thompson has almost single-handedly pulled the Kangaroos out of a four game losing streak and given them a second win for 2006, with eight goals yesterday under lights at Telstra Dome. A poor start to the match was quickly eradicated in the second quarter with goals from Thompson and Wells giving the Roos the lead for a brief period. The Third quarter was a see-sawing affair with the Roos in front by 5 points at the final change. Hawthorn's Sam Mitchell continued to gain possessions and at the end of the day finished with 34. However it was not enough to stop the Roos and Thompson who ran out 22 point winners.

No Lost or Desperate Housewives again this week...
Perhaps 7 shouldn't have given them a week off for Easter - it probably cost them some viewers

The Demons hung on to win a thriller at the MCG today when they defeated the Kangaroos by 4 points, 13.12 (90) to 12.14 (86), much to the dismay of Kangaroos supporters (including myself). In a low-scoring game, the Roos saw the best and worst of their team in the final quarter, and a 2 goal lead midway through the term looked to shut out the tired Demons. Aaron Davey starred for the winners with a two-goal final quarter to give his team the lead twice. At the other end, Nathan Thompson shined for the Roos, wrestling back the lead twice and taking a contender for Mark of the Year, before missing and then unbelievably leaving the ground in the dying minutes. The Roos had one more chance through Harris, who had a shocker, to take back the lead, but a kick off the side of the boot which would have made its way to Wells and a certain winning goal destroyed any hope the North Melbourne fans had of their team winning the four points. And so 4 weeks in a row, the Roos have lost and are on the bottom of the ladder (after round 5) for the first time since 1962.


MELBOURNE: 1.3, 7.5, 9.9, 13.12 (90)

Well, that's my review of the game, hopefully the Roos can bounce back next week!

My new weekly reviews of the past week's viewing
SUNDAY, APRIL 23, 2006

• 8:30 on NINE: CSI - New episode was fantastic, with Nick never giving up on finding the little girl despite Sara's attitude. It was more of a knowing who did it and finding out how they did it kind of episode. Must have been a guest director, i think, because it looked really different. I liked it though. 9.5/10
  
• 9:30 on TEN: The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala 2006 - Brilliant, funny, hilarious. The world's best comedians came together to raise money for Oxfam and entertain an audience for 2 hours. My favourite was Arj Barker and his "Piss The Sh*t Off" Routine. 9/10

MONDAY, APRIL 24, 2006

• 7:30 on TEN: Port Adelaide VS St. Kilda - Average match that was close but Port messed up my tips.

TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 2006

• 2:00 on NINE: Essendon VS Collinwood - Footy was back at the 'G for this Anzac Day blockbuster. Over 90,000 people packed the ground to see Collingwood beat the Bombers and rise to 3rd on the ladder.
• 7:30 on TEN: The Simpsons - "The Italian Bob" was an average, yet funny, new episode of The Simpsons, my favourite bit being the American Wanted book with Peter Girffin's picture and a caption of "Il Plagiarismo", as well as Stan Smith with "Il Plagiarismo e Plagiarismo". And did anyone catch Bob's prison number? The same as the episode production code. 8/10
• 8:30 on TEN: The O.C. - Not so into this show anymore, I just flicked between this and a DVD. Marissa's sister returns after 2 years. 7.5/10
• 9:30 on TEN: Rove Live - As before, just flicking. Guests included The Veronicas, Georgie Parker and Lisa McCune.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 2006

• 7:30 on TEN: Thank God You're Here - Very funny. Angus is fantastic. "God -izzle" This week we had Santos as a plumber with a seductive client, Robin at a press conference of a movie she starred in, Pete as the captain of a Star Trek-esqe ship, and Angus as the owner of a business having to fire an employee. the group challenge was all four being dressed up as priests. 9.6/10
• 8:30 on SEVEN: Prison Break - Well, things are starting to heat up now with 3 days til breakout and the group knowing one will have to go. A fantastic episode with surprises everywhere and everything falling into place with the plan. Except T-Bag probably killing Abruzzi and Lincoln in solitary, but, you know, it'll all work out. 9.6/10
• 9:30 on TEN: NCIS - This show, in which my dad usually rolls his eyes at (especially Dinozzo) had him laughing all the way through. It makes you wonder why they didn't do this story with Tony and Kate last season, but Ziva still did great. it was a great story and great acting from all involved. 9.2/10

THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 2006

• 8:30 on SEVEN: Lost - Fantastic new episode of this show (we were due for a new one) which just keeps getting better and better each week. We finally see what's going on with Mr. Eko, and it was a great tie-in to the Boone story and the Charlie story of season one. Great acting by Ardwalefdsfsjkodg..... whatever his name is (the guy who plays Eko). 9.6/10
• 9:30 on SEVEN: The Amazing Race - Average. They didnt leave Sicily for this one. My highlights were The Hippies fake sign in sheet (the Frat boys almost bought it) and Phil dancing at the Pit Stop! Ha ha ha! 7.9/10

Well, thats about it, ill see you next week!

Funny, funny, funny. I was reading mX newspaper yesterday and stumbled across an article about John So's (The Melbourne Lord Mayor) catchphrase, "John So - He's Our Bro!" being made into a rap song! Ha ha ha! Sorry, but if you've seen a picture of him...very funny!

Wednesday: TEN 7:30 - Thank God You're Here: Fantastic, though Fifi Box is pretty hopeless at it. 9/10 SEVEN 8:30 - Prison Break: Well, this is it. Breakout in 4 days apparantly. But with 7 inmates now in on it, there wont be enough time to breakout. So one has to go. I hope T-Bag. But we'll see. 9.5/10 TEN 9:30 - NCIS: REPEAT. Oh well, i guess we have to wait till next week for new NCIS Thursday: SEVEN: 8:30 - Lost: Clip show episode SEVEN: 9:30 - Amazing Race: Noooo! The pinkies are out! Lake Yeilded hem is what did it. No Monica is the only hot one left. 8/10 SEVEN: 10:30 - American Dad: Not bad. Funny story, good character parts. 8/10 SEVEN: 11:00 - Family Guy: Crap. Silly story and not really funny. Havent seen "The A-Team" so i didnt really get the Peter bits. 4/10 Well, thats it. New LOST next week finally and hopefully we'll see 24 after that's finished
