Gamertype?

http://survey.ihobo.com/BrainHex/

Thought this was quite an intresting survey/quiz thing which will probably appeal to most people that read this blog.

For me...

This place sure is different...

So this week we have more labs to do :/

Today we did a virtual nerve simulation, which was pretty boring stuff. Yesterday however (Monday) we did a frog disection... Essentially we were given a freshly killed frog which had been decapitated , I then had to cut off the skin on its chest and cut upwards through its chest , move stuff out of the way and find the heart in a little sac , i then had to cut open the sac and basically pull out the heart slightly and clip it onto a thing which measures weight - this then could measure heartbeats... Oh yeah , i forgot to mention , the heart is still beating.
Yeeeaaahh... the heart muscle basically beats on its own to prevent problems in the brain from killing off the animal, so as long as we put this nutrient solution it would keep beating , and it did - for like 2 or 3 hours while we did various tests on it (such as changing the temperature , putting depressant on it , putting adrenaline on it , using string to cut off the atria from the ventricles (seperating the top and bottom) , and a bunch of other shit ).

Also , on the bus home today I ended up sitting at the top at the back (where all the gangsta's sit and shi fo rizzle) , I spotted some 'graffiti' which made me laugh. Warwick sure is different to Essex..

It may be a little heart to work out because of my fuzzy camera , but basically its an ionic arrangement of Sodium Chloride (salt) compound , complete with scale measured in angstroms.

Finally , a picture of the ridiculous amount of wires around and under my desk right now.

The last week in pictures... and abit of text i suppose.

Apolagies for no updates in a while.
I went back home for a very extended weekend on saturday and stayed there until last night.

y2img-0027_1

^ 'Green eyed monster', my new favorite drink , chilli sambuca , blue curacao and monster ripper (which is essentially a can of sugar + water , men in black style.)
Had this to perk me up on friday night before we went clubbing for christina's birthday. Apolagies to fiona in the background who looks alot hotter irl.

y2img-0028_1

^ Kasbah in coventry , pretty packed out. Was alright for the first hour or so but then everyone wasnt really in the mood anymore and christina (birthday girl) didnt want to leave which apparently means we all had to stay >_>

y2img-0029_1

^ Chinese new year in Chinatown London , went there for a big meal with family on sunday. Got lots of moneyz too.
y2img-0030_1
^ Ridiculous oversized new arcade game they have at trocedero, pretty much full sized minigun and giant screen and you shoot down planes and shit.

y2img-0031_1

^ My new netbook came on monday , shit is mad tiny. The screen is around 1/4 of my main monitor size. Ive also found out my oversized mousemat works well for 2 mice if i ever want to use my netbook and my main pc at the same time. I get the feeling it'll mainly be used for work on the go or vent while im downstairs on the 360.

y2img-0032_1

^ Started snowing pretty fuckin' heavy earlier , it seems to have calmed down now but outside is now painted a thin layer of white.

Other things that have happened over the past week...
- Played and finished Assassins creed 2 over 3 days
- Got the result of my first essay that i submitted , Low 2:1 , kind of disappointed as I put my heart and soul into that thing but at least its not a 2:2 which may have made me kill myself.
- Found some leftover washing up which i forgot to do before i went home , green mold. nice.
- Im drinking root beer.
- I found out that the £10 wireless mouse i ordered for my netbook needs to have a piece of tinfoil wedged into the battery compartment otherwise the battery doesnt make contact with the pins.
- Got my windows 7 to stop nagging me about genuine
- Started watching Kaiji , intresting anime , Try watching the first episode and tell me you dont want to keep watching to find out what happens.

The company of myself

I rarely find myself playing online flash games unless im at uni or somewhere and trying desperately to kill time , 'The company of myself' however is an amazing game in every way, similar to braid in aspects , the game tells a simple story accompanied by some beautiful music.
Takes about 10 minutes to complete, give it a try

The scars remind us...

This is really.. really.. not my week.
Emotionally scarred and now possibly physically too. (pushed gemma into a bush, she hit me in the face with her bag , her bag apparently contains a calculator and all manor of sharp things.)

Closing a chapter of my life

So , better get this out so i can go about forgetting faster.

Sunday whilst exploring fran's facebook inbox i came across messages between her and some guy , called her up about it and turns out she's been sleeping with some guy for the past week. Broke up over the phone on monday morning.
I fear i will have trust issues with future girls given the fact that frances completely lied to me about stuff even as i asked her over the phone , god knows what else she's lied about , who knows maybe she was seeing other people during my entire first year of uni.

So im single again (ladies?), on the plus side now i have more time to spend with the real love of my life...

It was good while it lasted~ you cheating bitch!

Saturday 6 February 2010

So last night decided to watch 'Transporter 2' because apparently I downloaded it ages ago in 720p , go me.
Film was actually amazing , I sort of forgot how awesome Jason Statham is (like i knew he was awesome , but not the level of awesome he presents in Transporter2).
This led to me checking out what other films he's in on IMDB , this is when i came across a film called 'The Expendables'....

expendables
The term 'Holy shit' doesnt really cover it really , a film with Stallone , Jet Li AND Jason Statham? The fuck. All it needs is 'The Rock' and it would be guaranteed 'action film of the millenium'.

Going to watch Transporter 3 today at some point.. maybe now considering i just woke up and have nothing to do.... well... thats a lie , I have plenty of work to do but ugghhhhh.

Lab reports are really not something i want to do right now , they're confusing and tbh since we did them up to 4 weeks ago i cant even remember the details of them that well anymore ~.~

Ive also recieved my next Essay title, due in on week 20 (March 18th) , the title is...
"Molecular diagnostics in medical microbiology : Yesterday , today and tomorrow'
Which is... idk... It doesnt sound particuarly nice but then again it doesnt sound TOO hard to write , surely its just researching molecular diagnostics in the past , where they are now and what they will be able to do in the future... I hope anyway

Grumble

Down Syndrome project is done with , final video link is here for anyone that wants to watch a boring documentry - http://vimeo.com/9142087 , the part i edited together is around 5:30~ onwards.

In other news , labs are over for now , we got an email today telling us that we dont actually have labs weeks 5 and 6... but have 2 on week 7. Typical that they would tell us this 3 days AFTER i book tickets to go see the girlfriend for the end of week 6 and the start of week 7, because there was me thinking id be studious and go to the timetabled labs on weeks 5 and 6 and then on week 7 I'll get a nice break! >_>

Watched Road Trip today, im sure it was better last time I saw it , should have watched something with arnold swarchenegger in instead, or fast and furious 2 (because that film is lolz)
