Glam.

I'm currently in a Glam Rock/Rock Ballad trance and I'm enjoying songs such as this:

Then I remembered that Mariah had the same version of this song.

I love the Glam era.

Prince Caspian.

I've just finished watching The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, a movie I downloaded a week ago, and I must say I am a fan. I loved the first, loved this one, and now I can't wait for the third. According to various fansites, production will begin this January 2009.

So apparently, The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels published during the 1950s.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
The Silver Chair (1953)
The Horse and His Boy (1954)
The Magician's Nephew (1955)
The Last Battle (1956)

I hope I find the time to read them all. And since I've seen the two movies, it wouldn't be hard to imagine how everything and everyone would look like, especially Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes).

Cute, I thought. He looks like he's such a sweet guy. A pretty boy. But this photo is so much better.

Ben Barnes + Cigarettes = HOT.

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Serving as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.

Present researches show that umbilical, placental and other adult stem cells include the successful treatment of Alzheimer's, Autism, Autoimmune diseases, Cancer, Burns, Immunodeficiencies, Arthritis, and other chronic diseases.

And now an exclusive and revolutionary service, C'elle can provide women with the unique opportunity to collect and preserve vital stem cells that can be harvested from the body's menstrual fluid during the menstrual cycle. Until now, menstrual blood has typically been discarded as unsanitary waste. However, exciting new research shows that menstrual fluid contains self-renewing stem cells that can be easily collected, processed and cryo-preserved for potential cellular therapies that may emerge in the future. The C'elle menstrual stem cell comes from the uterine lining (endometrium) that is shed as part of a woman’s menstrual period. These menstrual stem cells are unique because they have many properties and characteristics similar to both bone marrow and embryonic stem cells; they multiply rapidly and can differentiate into many other types of stem cells such as neural, cardiac, bone, fat, cartilage and possibly others; demonstrating great promise for future use in clinical regenerative medical therapies. Preliminary research suggests that in addition to potential use by the donor, these stem cells may possibly be used as well to benefit other family members who are genetically related to the donor, such as perhaps a parent, sibling or child.

Watch the C'elle Client Testimonial and participate in the research that could change the world for the better. Remember, it's not just about the Science, it's also about you trying to save a human life. And who knows? the life you save might be that of someone you love.

There Was A Man Of Double Deed.

This is one creepy nursery rhyme.

There was a man of double deed,
Who sowed his garden full of seed;
When the seed began to grow,
'Twas like a garden full of snow;
When the snow began to melt,
'Twas like a ship without a belt;
When the ship began to sail,
'Twas like a bird without a tail;
When the bird began to fly,
'Twas like an eagle in the sky;
When the sky began to roar,
'Twas like a lion at my door;
When my door began to crack,
'Twas like a stick across my back;
When my back began to smart,
'Twas like a penknife in my heart;
And when my heart began to bleed,
'Twas death, and death, and death indeed.

The version recited by Jamie in the latest One Tree Hill episode goes a bit different...

A man of words and not of deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds,
And when the weeds begin to grow,
It’s like a garden full of snow.
And when the snow begins to fall,
It’s like a bird upon the wall,
And when the bird away does fly,
It’s like an eagle in the sky.
And when the sky begins to roar,
It’s like a lion at the door.
And when the door begins to crack,
It’s like a stick across your back,
And when your back begins to smart,
It’s like a penknife in your heart,
And when your heart begins to bleed,
You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead indeed.

But still creepy nonetheless. I think it's included in the 19th Century Anthologies of Nursery Rhymes. But who would read this to a child? I know I wouldn't.
