Waltz into the Moonlight
Another week deeper into the uni grind. Again nothing exciting happening. Geez I'd probably suck the life out at parties.
Anyway, I think I mentioned before that one of units of study is "Research Methods for Health Science". Its basically statistics and how to do proper research like in all those medical journals that we've read. It has been pretty meh so far. It's split into two branches/streams/sections/etc: Data Analysis and Research Design. Data analysis is basically statistics plus more stuff while research design is about doing health research in general. The tutorial component has use developing then writing out a research journal. My group was working on our question of "does a lack of sleep affect short term memory?" and we were worried that it wasn't up to scratch or was crap, but in the end we did quite well. The tutor didn't find anything majorly wrong and just cautioned us on the definitions of some terms. Still it was pretty cool.
My dad's computer has finally died. Blue screens of death, refusing to read and floppies or cds. I think some OS files got corrupted. It was pretty inevitable. My brother used my dad's comp quite a bit (cos at that time my bro had a shit comp) and so the comp was probably crawling with viruses and spyware. Prolly have to get a new comp for my dad, something cheap since all he does is surf the web, send emails and occasionally watches YouTube.
I've been playing around with the idea of getting a new comp as well, but I have a slightly harder justifying the cost. My comp may not be the lastest and greatest and will definitely choke on the lastest games but it works, its stable and I can't fault it for anything else. I'm also wary of Vista, despite SP1 getting released. Plus Microsoft will stop selling XP sometime in June. Well, the idea is floating there in my head. I'll let it stew for a few months.
Starting to play DS again. A new RPG called "The World Ends with You" has been released, from the makers of Kingdom Hearts. It uses the touchscreen quite well, and the plot is developing nicely. But damn, the music is awesome! Haven't gotten to deep into the game, but some far the main character is such a wanker. I don't really like him and I hope he changes eventually cos his personality pisses me off.
A gem I've picked up on on the internet. This is an awesome vid of some guys playing Aqua's Barbie Girl on cellos.
No Naruto manga until next week, so I have to wait to see what the deal with Itachi is.
