It's been freeeezing here. I've read all these blogs about you guys having near 40 degree Celcius days, and here it has been no higher than 10 for the past couple days. Even though the news has it at ~17 degrees for the nearest city, because we are on top of a hill and get a lot of wind we get all the cold air from the Snowies a couple hours drive south of our place. I'm surprised it hasn't started snowing here (it's only happened once before and that was a day to remember).

Anyway, enough *****ing about the weather, it has brough some good stuff. First of all the short, cold days are perfect for sitting in front of the television in a blanket playing whatever games you fancy. I finished Gears of Warabout a week ago, and the campaign was good. I'm half way through it again and will hopefully finish the second playthrough by the end of the week. I also picked up Assassins Creedfor the 360 on Friday for $25 and have been playing that for a while. Overall it is a very good game so far, but I'll wait until I've finished it to have a full opinion. I tend to take a long time in games like AC as I try to collect and do everything there is to do.

I've been on the 360 a lot recently and you might think that I'm ditching the Wii. Whilst I am loving the 360 I am still liking the Wii a lot. The problem with the Wii is that there are a lot of games I want for it, but they are all still expensive. Super Paper Mario, Super Smash Bros Brawland No More Heroesare all games I want to buy for the Wii, but the prices are still at $80-$100 a pop, while I can get great games like the Bioshock/Obliviondouble game for $50 on the 360. If quality Wii titles reduced their price like 360 titles have I would buy them, but I don't want to spend $100 on games which are over a year old (in the case of SPM almost 2).

Surprisingly my life does not only revolve around games. My final marks for my first session at uni are released tomorrow night, but I'm not too worried about them. As long as I pass, that's the main thing. Yesterday I also got my Green P's, which is the next stage up for my drivers licence. I can now do 100k's an hour and get 6 demerit points instead of 3, so if I get caught speeding I get a second chance . Finally there is work, which is not too shabby except for the new roster I'm on which makes me start at 6am every second Saturday. It's a pain but I'll get Saturday nights off, something I haven't had in a while.

Finally I'm having a few social problems with girls. I'll go into more details next blog but I've done some stupid things and might have alienated a person who I really liked. It's a long story and will be in next blog!

PS - I will reply to all those blogs you have posted ... I've just been too lazy and have a lot to get through, plus my internet has been playing up so everytime I tried to open a page the modem reset ... stupid Telstra ...
