Energy Drink Review: “Amp Energy Overdrive”
Apr 29, 2008 Health, Uncategorized, me
I have to give credit to Jason for this one. On yesterday’s post, he suggested MDX (Mountain Dew Extreme) as an energy drink to try. I went to the store this morning on my way in to work and looked for it, but the only Mountain Dew- branded energy drink I could find was called Amp Energy Overdrive. It’s not what he suggested, but it led me to this one.
It is sort of like Code Red with a kick. It has a cherry flavor, and is actually pretty darn good. I know you have to have a little slack with most energy drinks, but this one has a great taste, and it certainly has helped wake me up.
I have one more to try this afternoon. We’ll see how that goes, but for now, I am happy with the Amp Energy.

Monster Energy Drink = Bile in a can
Ever had this drink? I just purchased one from the cafe downstairs at my office to try and help wake up, and I have to say that this is hands down the most disgusting drink I have ever had. I have had Red Bull, Rockstar, and a few others, all of which are not great by any means. But good grief, this drink seriously tastes horrible.
What are some decent tasting energy drinks you have had?

The Best Cure for Hiccups
Apr 28, 2008 Health
No, not “drunk” hiccups.
Apparently, if you happen to get the hiccups, an effective remedy is to drink warm water:
“…hiccups are caused by the spasming of the diaphragm, a sheet of muscle located across the bottom the ribcage. And what do you do when a you get a muscle cramp? You apply heat. Does this method work? You bet. It works like a charm every time. The hiccups will resolve in less than a minute (usually about 15 seconds). If it doesn’t, what you’re drinking isn’t warm enough, try something warmer.”
So, next time you get hiccups, give this a try!
Movie night with mom
Last night, I invited my mom to come over to my place to have a “movie night”. She came over, and we ended up watching Cloverfield. I think the last movie she and I watched together was The Blair Witch Projoct, and it was in the theater. So, it was only fitting that we watch Cloverfield, which is like Blair Witch meets Godzilla.
Anyways, it was nice having a movie night with mom again.

Boomshine: The most annoyingly addictive Flash game I have played in a while
Apr 26, 2008 Found Online
I am not normally one to play Flash games online, but this one sucked me in. It is so simple, yet difficult to beat. You basically click somewhere on the screen and try and set off a chain reaction of circles. Just give it a try, you will get sucked in. I played it until I had beaten all 12 levels (after about a hundred tries).
O, and the music is very calming.
