So if you passed on any of these options and you’ve got a rager of a headache in the morning, what should you do? A lot of party people swear by greasy diner breakfasts saying that greasy food soaks up the remaining alcohol. I don’t know any biochemists to back this up but Telegraph.co.uk has a great little article about how bacon can ease your hangover pain.

Apparently food speeds up your metabolism which then helps you get rid of alcohol effects quicker. A researcher from Newcastle University explains that the carbohydrates from bread and the protein from bacon make a great hangover ass kicking combo. Also, heavy alcohol consumption depletes neurotransmitters and bacon has a high level of amino acids which help that.

Here’s some other interesting hangover recovery remedies.

Maybe you can take it once step further and fry like bacon a la Dazed and Confused. Won’t exercise speed up your metabolism and get rid of all the nasty alky toxins too?

Justpressplay.net has a great post on the collaboration.

There’s a few myths out there such as 420 is a police dispatch code or that there are 420 active chemicals in marijuana.  These are false and it’s pretty widely accepted now that 420 originated from a group of kids from San Rafael High School in California. Attack of the Show did some investigative work and interviewed the original Waldos about the makings of the 420 phenomenon.

I’m surprised Google hasn’t altered their logo for this popular day. I imagine it would go something like this…

Now when I’m watching a t.v. show or movie and I think “hey, where have I seen that actor before?” I just turn to my trusty phone and find out. It’s best to do this when you have the pause feature for your cable t.v. because sometimes you get really engrossed in clicking on other projects or people the actors are working with.

One of the best features ever on IMDb is the trivia page. This gives you all those random juicy tidbits about the actors, filming and more. So I was watching Twilight over the weekend and couldn’t stop reading all the random facts about the movie such as:

• Kristen Stewart has naturally green eyes. She wears brown contacts for filming to match Bella’s eye color.
• Kellan Lutz intended on keeping his natural curly hair for the role of Emmett Cullen. However, his previous role in “Generation Kill” (2008) required a buzz cut and his hair didn’t grow fast enough for the filming of Twilight (2008/I).
• Henry Cavill was Stephenie Meyer‘s first choice to play Edward. However, but by the time production was to begin, he was 25 years old, and no longer looked the part of a 17-year old. He was then offered the part of Carlisle Cullen but turned it down due to his commitment with “The Tudors” (2007).

• For the role of Edward Cullen, Robert Pattinson flew from England to director Catherine Hardwicke‘s house to audition. There, he and Kristen Stewart, who was already cast as Bella Swan, rehearsed the “Love Scene”/”Meadow Scene” on Hardwicke’s own bed.

• The script was finished in 6 weeks.
• Robert Pattinson stated in an interview that this is his first American role and he had no formal training to perfect his American accent.
• When the ‘evil vampires’ make their first appearance, actors Cam Gigandet, Rachelle Lefevre and Edi Gathegi are all wearing little slippers painted like bare feet.

Too much fun. Go on, spice up your vanilla t.v. watching habits with a little IMDb.

While I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this site that screams out “Attract Women and Seduce Them.” I never click on this crap but I decided to be open-minded today. I love this though: “Women have tried to have my guide BANNED…” Okay, I got hooked and I decided to read on, just a bit. So apparently this ebook is written by a woman who tells guys all the secrets to attracting women, young beautiful women of course. I guess us women are all pretty much attracted to the same thing and it’s not just looks. Okay, I can get behind that. Not everyone has to look like Henry Cavill from the Tudors. (If you don’t know, now you know. So h o t)

There’s tons of great guys out there who aren’t the hottest thing on the planet but have great, cute girlfriends. So yeah, it’s not all about looks. It’s all about how you act towards women. So if this little ebook helps guys act confident, talk to more women, have good conversation, and not be an asshole, then maybe this stuff actually does work. I’m not willing to shell out $50 bucks to find out but I’m not going to look down my nose at any guy who does.

Update: Ugh, I just remembered why I don’t click on crap like this. I followed some other links and some how got infected by a trojan or 10. Still battling the pop ups…

So what’s the beef? SeeqPod is basically a search engine that crawls the internet for music and video files. It doesn’t host any of the content, it just gives you search results. Another nifty feature is that it let’s you create a playlist which you can save, share with friends, or embed in your site. I guess the problem is that SeeqPod doesn’t filter out any pirated songs. Does Google filter out all pirated material?

Once again, the music labels are digging another grave in their music startup cemetary. They need to hire some creative thinkers who can figure out the future of the music industry for them. It seems like they’re fighting a losing battle and are making desperate attempts to wring out money from popular music sites. I wonder how large the slice of their revenue pie comes from lawsuits? It can’t be that sustainable, can it?

So who else will R.I.P. because of SeeqPod’s eventual demise? Songbeat, Steamzy, Songerize and I don’t know who else. Whether these sites will be reincarnated into something else will be determined. But for now, this is what I say to you, SeeqPod, and to all those other awesome music sites out there…

That’s a little taste of what SeeqPod offered us lovers out there. Sorry, it’s a link to the playlist because apparently .wordpress doesn’t support the embed option.

May 5, 2005 to who knows

Please share any great music sites past and present that have been effected by the music label lawsuit pandemic. And any sites that we can all comfort ourselves with in their absence. Thanks!

Go to the tax return section of the USPS website

On the right side, click “Go” under the “Post Office Locator” box

Type in your zipcode in the text box and click “search”

This will list all the post offices near you. Here’s the painful part, you have to click on each bolded post office link to see if they have extended hours for April 15th. It would be nice if they could just specify on the list page but there’s a little reminder on the right side that states “service hours my vary. Please check link for business hours.”

If you want to forego all this pain, just e-file your return. If you’ve never e-filed your tax return before, wake up and get on the bandwagon. The IRS has free fillable forms on their website. Also, the IRS partners with Free File Alliance LLC which is a group of private sector tax software companies. These include the big guns like H&R block and TurboTax as well as a whole list of other companies. Just click here and click on “choose a company.” These third party companies offer free prep and e-filing if your adjusted gross income is less than $56,000 for 2008. Most likely they’ll charge you to e-file your state return.

So get on it! Remember, you don’t have to file your return at the last minute. As soon as you get your W-2(s) and/or 1099s  (in January) you can file at any time. The sooner you file your return, the sooner you get your cash, unless you owe the government…

Want to know if you’re going to get a stimulus payment? The IRS will tell  you here. The IRS will tell you anything you need to know. Just browse through their website. You can even call them if you want. They will answer.

Too late? Want to file an extension? Here’s the info you need.

Good Luck and I hope you get a nice fat return this year!

Some suggestions for this strange occurence is that the man may have inhaled a small bud which then grew inside his body. I think there should be an interruption of television right now warning people to not inhale small buds. Just smoke them.
