Recap the past week.
Well I finally got my gene (MyoD) cloned into two reporter constructs. It happened within the first two weeks of the semester. I dont know if that is sign of good things to come for this semester.
The above image is the very basic cut and dry of how I got myoD into the report vector.
Red is MyoD
Blue is the reporter vector

I saw the best concert in a very long time on Tues. night a Cleveland's House of Blues. The headliner was Killswitch Engage, and the openers were Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die and Pakrway Drive. Granted I had no money at the time, but it was very fun. I dont know if you heard Killswitch Engage's cover of Dio's Holy Diver. Well if you havent you should visit their myspace page. Its a great cover, and they encored with this. I thought the Cleveland concert goers were goin to tear down the House of Blues.

And last night Friday, we saw Emery at the agora. I have to say they put on a very impressive show. I got back to my good ol' days of drinkin Black Velvet and coke. I forgot how tasty and smooth it is.

Also I wanted to mention a little bit on Lost. I have no idea how this season is going to go because of the writers strike. But apparently they have 4 episodes written. But thursdays season premier answered absolutely nothing and created a shit load more of questions.
