Regression into My Teens

jenny was a friend of mine/mr brightside/smile like u mean it/ somebody told me/all these things that ive done/on top/when we were young and read my mind. Picture the scene.Wembley arena ,12,000 people, big stage, eclectic lighting and the Killers on stage.

The crowd went crazy for mr brightside, somebody told me and all these things and the concert can only be described as awesome. My friends and the whole of the standing section or 'pit' as we renamed it regressed into teenage hood. I've never jumped up and down so much in my life and throughout wave after wave of nostalgia swept over us. Life is good, life is great. On the way home I listened to Hot Fuss and I pictured myself back in the arena soaking up the atmosphere.

The Good Shepherd opened on Friday and it is one of longest movies released so far this year. I realise De Niro wanted his debut to be remembered but his attempt at an epic leaves a lot to be desired. Why do actor-directors feel the need to make cameos? Surely if you want to be taken seriously you stay behind the camera. Angelina Jolie actually acted and as always Joe Pesci was a welcome face and Matt Damon gave a good performance. I left the cinema two hours and forty minutes later exhausted and with no idea of what the point was. There is no succinct plot and character development is painfully protracted. I urge you to see the film and make up your own minds.

This week:

I was scared many times because everyone knows everything and for finals you need to be vaguely one of those people.

My decision not to do a PhD as part of MBBS for fear of sitting next to my fresher kids in graduation seemed the right one.

I officially made chocolate a food group (Nutella is evil I tell you)

Wishy washy lectures tried my patience

I admired the posters for The Good Shepherd on tube platforms mainly because the New York Post reviewer gave a positive comment (the end is nigh, rescue your loved ones)

I want to extend a message to Timbo. As you are on everyone's tracks and rolling in it if you ever felt the need to wipe a certain medic blogger's student debt they would be extremely grateful. We can overlook the whole Swedish group court case thingy.

I fed my music addiction. Omarion's 21 seemingly based on the Entourage TV show has two hot tracks produced by Timbo (Icebox & Beg). Yes Omarion we care about how many girls want to sleep with you and how you got off with your best friend. Tamia Between Friends is HOT especially Rodney (Jerkins) produced Too Grown For That. Pretty Ricky have changed musical direction on Late Night Special. Nah I am just joking its like de ja vu and R Kelly in a group (girl I wanna do this and that on 15 tracks). Fantasia's Fantasia- amazing voice, variety of production and its a grower.

Rinsing Tony Sunshine She's like the Wind, Anonymous by Bobby V (he's not the greatest singer but I love the whole disturbing da peace thing), Fantasia When I See You, Mario Go, Rich Boy Throw Some D's and Brian McKnight Used to be My Girl.

In between lusting after Marie Claire's Spring fashion buys, I considered getting Miami Vice on DVD and found out Casino Royale is released on DVD in March.

Modernising Medical Careers (MMC)

An FY1 will earn between 20, 000 and 31,000GBP and pay tax of between 10 and 22%. Most FY1 and FY2 posts are likely to unbanded and free accommodation provided by the NHS trust is possibly a thing of the past. There is no good news. I would strongly urge any students taking their A levels to carefully consider their career decision and the cons of studying medicine in London principally larger debt due to high accommodation and living costs. With the introduction of a nationalised medical training application system, London does not mean diddly squat in terms of CV.

Was it all worth it? I suppose one could describe it as a test of your love for the vocation. However, even the most avid trainee doctors are realistic recognising the need for reasonable working conditions. The media and the public's focus on GP pay leaves the issue of junior trainee pay in the blind spot. Why does the establishment introduce initiatives such as qualities outcome framework (QOF) points in the vain hope that GPs will not meet the targets and receive financial rewards for this then say GPs earn too much? Why did they increase the intake to medical schools when they cannot afford to pay the trainees or provide enough jobs for them?

Despite my bitterness, frustration and continuing disillusionment I must always remember there are others who are less fortunate. On elective for example, the house officers earn our monthly salary per annum. Doctors in war-torn countries and I could go on.

St. Valentine's day looms with the predicatble fan fare. Happy Valentine's Day in advance.

There are little things in life that make me satisfied. Stuffing my face with muffins and cookies is one of them and another is reading good books. I would recommend A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian by Marina Lewycka (Penguin Viking, 2005) to everyone. It was nominated for the Orange prize for Fiction in 2005. I am currently reading Blood Sweat and Tea by Tom Reynolds after finishing Gangs by Tony Thompson

GLO Get A Clue

GLO=Guest list only. I'm sure everyone has been to one of these places. It really ruins the experience of going out in London. Arsey bouncers, the annoying person with the clipboard. Why must they harass you even when you are on the guest list? OK I know it is a huge power trip earning over £10 an hour, standing outside rain or shine wielding a clip board and shouting 2 for £30 but get over it! Trendy house is an acquired taste and I am definitely not a fan.

Leisurely lunch with my friend then we saw Notes on a Scandal starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett. The film was faultless with well written characters, a fast pace and many twists. I loved it and felt warm and fuzzy afterwards.

My comrades returned from elective so the warm fuzzy existence continues. Mischief is back.

Ocean's 13 is in the pipeline. They need to make up for the abysmal second instalment. The impossible has happened, I am inclined to see a Halle Berry Movie The Perfect Stranger. She is stunning but was there a need to derobe in Monster's Ball or Swordfish? The Good Shepherd looks very good from the previews.

Jennifer Hudson is the breakthrough person of the year after losing out on American Idol she has won numerous accolades and awards for her role as Effie in Dream Girls- go see it. She seems level headed and a genuinely nice person. Her interview on David Letterman in the States confirmed this.

DJ Swerve is killng it as usual on the radio and I love Tony Sunshine feat. Lumidee (She's Like The Wind) and Mario's track at the moment.

I've got to mention Deepside. Fresh and hot production courtesy of Mysto and Pizzi of Next Selection. The album is not scheduled for release till May.
