Ok partly because I am bored and partly for a few other obviously very intelligent reasons which for some other very intelligent reason I can't think of right now, I've decided to make a blog where once a day (ish) I will update it with a new band I've listened to or whatever, some examples of song titles, what sorta music it is etc. I will stick a link to my new blog on this one asap.

After having watched the last episode (episode 20) of season two of this fantastic programme, which was just over an hour long, I have to say I'm lefting kicking myself because I can't see season 3 yet. I can't believe they left such a mahusive cliff hanger on the end of season 2. It was amazing but I won't spoil it for you in case you intend to watch it in the future. All I will say is that the human race is left somehwat screwed and the fleet is nowhere to be seen. (heh heh) Anywho, yeah, if you haven't watched it I urge you to go watch it now, now now now, its amazing. So much happens, the effects are wicked and the storyline is held even through all the different things that go on. The show seems to jump from strength to strength, most of the time. Although sometimes there are some dips, where the odd episode might be a bit lame, but it always picks up again in the following episode.

Quick update on this terrible crisis. Aparrently the one who’s head was said to have swolloen to 3 times the normal size isn’t getting any better. Doctor’s have told his family that he is expected to die from heart, kidney and lung faliure. That really is terrible. Another of the patients is expected to be in a coma for up to/at least a year, im not sure which it is different sites seem to say different things. But either way, thats a long time. The other 4 who were given the drug seem to be showing apparent signes of marginal improvement. Lets just hope this isn’t that “calm before the storm” kind of effect where the situation suddenly becomes much worse for those 4 which are getting better. And in the case of the families of the 2 which aren’t getting any better, I feel so very sorry for them, it must be hard, can’t say I’m ever going to sign up for a clinical trial after this…

Can’t decide which one to put as my first choice.

It’s either Exeter or Bath. I’ve heard that Bath is a better uni overall, but I still don’t know which one I want to go to more. Can anyone tell me anything about either of these uni’s ?

Cheers

Ok, dont read this if you haven’t yet watched episode 17 of the second series of battlestar galactica and you intend to in the future.

I watched it earlier today and it was such ana amazing episode! I couldn;t believe it. Basically two raptors with around 2 crew members in each went mising in space, they had some messages from them before they went missing but they were broken and mixed up. Basically the pegasus goes after them against admiral adomma’s orders and it turns out to be a cylon trap. adomma’s son takes over and sorts it all out, major battle, and adomma’s son becomes a captain at the end. All in all a damn good episode so go watch it if you haven’t and you read all this lol.

Basically its livin up to my expectations so far.

Quick end note: have just watched two episodes of Everybody Hates Chris which is on Sundays Channel 5 at 8pm and its about Chris Rock’s childhood. Its damn funny. Watch it.

Having heard about the recent situation with the medical trials which have gone seriously wrong at Northwick Park, I have to say I’m not sure I will ever be tempted to partake in a clinical trial! I’m not sure as to how true this statement is but I had heard that one of the patients involved’s head has swollen to around 3 times it’s usual size.

This drug had been tested on animals prior to this clinical trial however I think the problems which have arisen from this trial only show that animal trials should be allowed to run much more, obviously they have to be restricted in some ways or all kinds of drugs would be tested on animals all over the place, but problems like this current situation could possibly be avoided if further animal trials were allowed to take place.

Also I think clinical trials on humans need to be controlled much more, I mean, the 6 men involved (it was 8 in total but 2 were given placebos, damn are they lucky…) have all suffered sever organ faliure through taking the possible anti-inflammatory drug and are now all in critical conditions in intensive care. I have also read that none of them are currently getting any better. One of the guys involved was a 21year old student trying to make money to pay for his course. They were paid around £2000, but life isnt really worth that is it, its worth a hell of a lot more. So if I were you, and you’re thinking about taking part in a clinical trial, I would definitely think twice before signing that line at the bottom of the page, it seems you really really would be signing your life away.
Although I did find it slightly amusing that this article was on the front page of the Daily Telegraph and a few pages further into the paper there was an article about a company wanting half a million people to take part in a new drug trial. Heh. If only they knew

Been watching this quite a bit recently and I have to say it’s much better than I was expecting. It’s the American remake of the classic series. The quality of the episodes seems to go up and down a little. The last episode I watched was the one where the civilians hold people hostage in a bar and to be honest it seemed more like an american bank hold up film than a battlestar galactica episode but it was alright. Some of the episodes are amazing though, one that particularly stands out is the one where Starbuck is back on Caprica trying to get the Arrow. The first series was very good and for now, the second series has lived up to that, just hope it continues to be as good.

Hey just a quick post partly because I haven’t put anything new on here for a while but also just to give my band a quick shameless plug. Have a look at Incognito’s myspace by clicking HERE

Theres a couple of tracks on there that we recorded last year on a really bad quality setup, but there will be new tracks on there within the next couple of weeks, so keep checking back.
