I'm a 24 year old girl, working in the meeja and generally enjoying life. I love t'interweb and reading other blogs and most of all - sharing the love. This blog is cheesy peas :D
This poor guy has had the hiccups for 15 months now - I can’t even bear them for 10 minutes!
I have a cure that always works for me, and it’s worked for 99% of the people I’ve tried it on (the other 1% were too drunk to try it properly I reckon).
1. Fill a glass with water or a beverage of your choice (preferably not beer though, it’ll likely only make it worse).
2. Put a straw in the drink or get another kind being (preferably more sober than you) to hold the glass for you.
3. Put your fingers in your ears - as far in as you can without causing damage obviously - careful now.
4. Drink as much of the water/beverage of choice as you can whilst blocking your ears - either through the straw or the other person ‘feeding’ it to you.
It works for me anyways - something to do with the air pressure and tubes connecting yadda yadda yadda.
“In 2005, a film-making body in New York issued a challenge to America’s assistant film editors - take an existing movie trailer, and re-edit it in an entirely different genre. The winner was 25-year-old Robert Ryang, who took Stanley Kubrick’s psychological horror The Shining and turned it into a breezy romantic comedy, set to the tune of Peter Gabriel’s Solsbury Hill. So so good. I love how it shows how editing and music can completely change the tone of a film.”
It relates to this i.e. a school who when placing their class photos online (why?) put smiley faces over the kids faces to hide their identities. This brings up many questions in my mind - 1) what’s the point of putting them online in the first place? they have a newsletter for the parents to look at. 2) smiley faces? why? so some mammy can look at it and say ‘oh there’s my Johnny, see - he was wearing odd socks that day’. Weeeeird.
Ok 2 questions aren’t many questions but as I said - I’m tired. So. Unbelievably. Tired.
EDIT: Sky News are relating the smiley faces to acid which is slightly OTT, no?
I spent most of this weekend watching telly and getting fat…. fun!
Had drinks and movies with the girls on Friday night and watched more Summer Heights High. What a great programme.
On Saturday night, I was dragged to TGI Fridays for a friend’s birthday and drank about 5 fishbowls of Long Island Iced Tea. Didn’t think there was any alcohol in them, hence the fishbowl sized glasses. Turns out I was very, very, very wrong as I became very, very, verrrry dhrunk and stumbled the whole way down to D2’s. Speaking of D2’s - I love the beer garden there, but what’s it going to be like when the patio heaters are banned?!
Last night I watched Consiparacy Theory with the fella. I forced myself to stay awake until the end, to find out what the big theory was but woke up just as the credits started to roll. Woke the fella up to tell me what happened (he’d seen it before) and turns out I didn’t miss much.
The film did get me googling about other conspiracy theories however…
Or so some professor says which is good enough for me anyways.
Apparently, the most depressing day of every year is the third Monday of January or ‘Blue Monday’ i.e. today. And this is because we’ve spent all our money over Christmas, have crap weather and haven’t stuck to our New Years resolutions. All boxes I can tick I’m afraid to say.
And whatever you do - don’t leave your mobile phone on at night because this will make you sleep even worse! It’s definitely something I’ll have to change as I always sleep with my mobile on. I have no idea why. It’s not that I’m expecting a call or even want anyone to call me at night but still… it’s just that cutting off that link to the outside world. And sometimes drunken late night calls are funny, especially when the other person can’t even remember ringing you. I probably should consider turning it off now though.
EDIT: Apparently everyone knows about Blue Monday. How have I never heard of it before?!
