Finally a cure for hiccups!

I just got rid of a really annoying hiccup-fest thanks to this tip!

                                                                                              The 30-Second Hiccup Cure
                                                                                                                (En Español)

For overall best results, please try to do the steps as quickly as you can and try very hard not to let any air out.

Step 1: Start by inhaling through your mouth until your lungs feel full (when it feels like you cannot inhale any more.... your lungs will basically stop taking in air).

Step 2: Swallow.  You are not really swallowing anything but it seems that without this act, it doesn't work.  Do not let any air out.

Step 3: Now inhale some more until your lungs feel full again.  You may not be able to inhale a lot, but do get some more air in.  It will start to get difficult to do this as you go, but keep trying.  You obviously can't suck in as much air as you did initially, but just a little will do (think of it as taking a "sip" of air but directly into your lungs).

Step 4: Swallow again.  This too will start to get difficult as you go.  Do not let any air out.

Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 (inhale and swallow) until you cannot swallow again.  While it seems you can almost always suck in just a little more air, it is actually the swallowing that gets to be impossible.  When you feel like you cannot swallow again, swallow again anyway.  It will be hard to do, your face will probably turn red, and you may make squeaking sounds.  But you CAN swallow one last time.  By this time, your lungs should also be quite full and it should be difficult to get much more air in as well.  While you should try not to let any air out, if you have really repeated steps 3 and 4 as many times as you can, you probably will end up letting a little air out before you can take that last swallow.  If you find that air keeps escaping out of your nose even early in the process, try squeezing it shut with your fingers.

Step 6: Exhale.

It has to do wit repeatedly holding your breath and swallowing,
An interesting technique that the author stumbled upon.

The Super fun happy remote linking thread

"Something just wasn't right about this jungle outing. But you won't see the monkeys complaining".

Roligaste forumtråden med massor av foton med captions. Spana in här

Lite som Jan Stenmark, skulle man kunna säga.

Falling Water i lego!




Nu kan alla bygga drömhuset själva! Lego lanserar en arkitektur-kollektion där "Falling Water" av Frank Llloyd Wright är ett av totalt sex set. Fann denna trevliga nyhet på Designboom, mkt bra sida för övrigt.

Awkward family photos


Hahaha, min syster skickade den här länken till mig häromdagen. Det är en guldgruva av udda familjefoton. Ta en titt!

Dagens dröm-outfit




Man kan ju bara älska en fjäderhatt med namnet "The Kiss of death-bonnet".
För att riktigt skrämma den som jag dödskysser skulle jag styla hatten med detta:
En halsduk för att skyla behagen...


..och ett par mullvadstofflor så att jag kan gå riktigt riktigt tyst...


"Nu har hon glömt nåt", tänker ni. Men icke. Kalle Anka-style (bar underkropp) är det nya svarta! Ni hörde det här först!

Akinator - den tankeläsande anden!


Tjugo frågor med en irriterande ande som blir "smartare" ju mer folk spelar med honom.
Tänk på en (någorlunda välkänd) person, verklig/fiktiv/seriefigur
och förundras över andens sorteringsmekanism. Testa inte Johnny Depp, det är alldeles för enkelt för honom. Tydligen är det det första som dyker upp i mångas huvuden ( I wonder why..)

Jag blir lite provocerad och vill "sätta dit" anden, men förvånansvärt ofta har han järnkoll på vem man gissar på...

Twilight



Am totally swept away. Loved it!
Hjärtat i halsgropen, på helspänn hela tiden, snygg film, fantastiskt skådespeleri. Sådan hunger!
En annan stor behållning var vampyrernas residens! Långt från slottet i Transsylvanien, ett otroligt hus som slår an alla strängar på min arkitekt-lyra.

Se filmen.

Edit 25 maj: Här är en länk till ett blogginlägg som bjuder på en rundtur i familjen Cullens hus. Eller, ska jag säga The Hoke house, av Skylab Architecture.
Sjukt fint!
