Clint Mansell = Linkin Park. No, Really!Category: music
How can you not draw this conclusion hearing these two tunes??!
Exhibit A: Clint Mansell: Stay With Me (The Fountain OST, 2006)
Exhibit B: Linkin Park: Numb (Meteora, 2003)
They are so strangely similar. Though one is "rock"-ish and the other is "classical"-ish the underlying notes, repetition and rhythm share such a very strong resemblance. I wish I knew music theory to be able to analyze these tunes further.
Was Clint Mansell "inspired by" (of all the bands on this planet) Linkin Park??! The possibility completely blows my mind.
PS: (e:boxerboi), I can't wait for your journal. And you know which one! :)

A Letter of Thanks to James!Category: science
The event was a HUGE success! We ran out of saliva kits! Nearly 700 people signed up in around 5 hours. If you are still interested in contributing your might to this massive effort against cancer, we are thinking about setting up another recruitment event at the Ride for Roswell event! Watch this space!!!
(e:mike) and (e:libertad), thanks so much for making it! I am so sorry we wrapped it up earlier than we thought - we hardly expected such an enthusiastic response! People were so motivated they dragged their entire teams to sign up! I think I must have consented more than 200 people personally. I feel drunk with happiness that people still believe in honest population research. I swear, I felt my life was worth living when I saw so many people. (e:James), I was delirious when I saw you! Thank you SO MUCH for coming and donating!! You ROCK! m/ :)

I know! None of us expected such a response! We have a very very tough time convincing people that research is an important part of the fight against cancer. Maybe all these years, we have not been approaching the problem of recruitment properly. We tend to stick to people who come to hospitals and for "normal" comparisons, we ask people who accompany the people to the hospital. Our approach has been flawed all along!
Thanks once more for agreeing to be contacted for donating 2 tablespoons of blood. It goes a long way for us! Some years down the line when a definite answer emerges to why certain people get cancer and what we can do to cut their risk, you should be really proud that you contributed a part of you to help arrive at that answer!! THANK YOU!!!! :)

From what you said last night in chat you seemed doubtful that many people would show up at all. Glad to hear it was such a success.
I also signed up to donate blood to the cause. So, perhaps some day soon you will see little James red blood cells floating around. Let me know if there is a resemblance.

Spit for the CURE!!! TOMORROW!!!Category: science
It's time to join the fight against cancer, everyone!! It's time to spit it out of our planet! Quite literally...
We are asking you for a donation of a teensy bit of your saliva and a bit of your time for Cancer Research.
With the help of the saliva you donate, we can pool together information from a large number of people with and without cancer and find answers to the question of why some people get cancer while others don't.
With the help of the questionnaire we send you to fill out, we will try and figure out what kind of lifestyle changes will reduce the risk of cancer.
Though you won't personally benefit from donating your saliva, this is your chance to make a personal difference against cancer!
Your small and personal but incredibly valuable gift to cancer research will go a long long way!!!!
We need more weapons than ever to fight this scourge called cancer! Pitch in and spit it out!!!!
See you all at Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure at Delaware Park's Rose Garden tomorrow morning!! Comment, drop me an email, post a chat if you have any questions!!
Together, we can research this evil little disease out! :)
Come and spit for the cure!! June 13 (Saturday, 7:00 AM to 1:00PM, Delaware Park Rose Gardens)

Microwave TroubleCategory: eating in
My microwave just decided to throw in its nukey little towel. The turntable won't stop turning and the light won't shut off till I pull the door open. It doesn't start heating till I push the start button but the turn table and the light keep going as long as the door is shut. This is creepy so I have unplugged it.
... which has made me realize what a shocking amount of dependency I have on my microwave. It's especially disturbing considering I just started using a microwave around three years ago. I remember having had to consult a manual to figure out how the contraption worked the first time I used it.

(e:metalpeter): I don't get your comment. Do you mean to say the videos by Clint Mansell and Linkin Park didn't turn up above? I can still see them. The direct links are:
Clint Mansell --> :::link:::
Linkin Park --> :::link:::
Can you see them with these links?
I watched Both Videos, but I had to since I'm a big Linkin Park Fan. The thing that I find interesting from some video I saw is you have the rapper dude and the singing and screaming then key boards and guitar, but it isn't either singers Band, It is Mr Hahn's Yes the DJ's Band and he does a lot of the art or maybe all of the art for the band, and they even have that Animee style video but not sure if he did the art for that video or not.
