Cyclone Diet

I don't remember when I bought this, maybe 2002 or 2003.  But it's supposed to help you lose 10lbs in 48 hours.  I'm not sure if it worked or not, I highly doubt it though.  I think that you are supposed to drink 3 packets a day for 2 days and nothing else for the rest of the time and you will lose 10lbs.

It's basically something that will clean out your system.  You know when you have to get prepared for a colonoscopy?  You have to drink this liquid for a certain amount of hours the night before your test and you are going to the bathroom every 5 minutes.  It's basically the same concept except I don't exactly remember going to the bathroom as much.  Then again it was so long ago.

The best thing I liked about this diet was that it comes with a cup that has a blender in it.  It's not a blender in the respect that it crushes ice but more like it just blends a powder into a liquid.  I use it for mixing my slim fast when I'm not using ice when I just want to mix the powder into the milk.  I suppose you could do the same thing with your iced tea lol.  Just add your ice and your tea then put your sugar or sweetener and press the button and it mixes the sugar.  No need for a tea spoon.

Since this product has been discontinued what else am I supposed to do with the cup?

Stackable Fridge

Got roommates who just won't stop eating your labeled food?  Here is a solution.  This is a really good thing for roommates especially ones who are in college.

They don't have locks on them and that's probably a good idea to put on them but other than that it's a pretty good idea.  It also saves energy because it has 1 power source which is on the bottom.  When you open 1 little compartment you aren't letting out all the cool air.

I just wish that I was in college because I wouldn't mind having one lol.  This would actually be great for work, you could have your own cube fridge with your name on it at work so you can leave your lunch in there and maybe even some other food and not worry that someone is stealing your food while you aren't at work.

Real 3D Camera

Finally a company has come out with a camera that takes pictures in 3D.

FinePix REAL 3D W1 | Fujifilm Global

This camera has 2 lenses to make taking 3D pictures possible.  We have 2 eyes so obviously we see everything in 3D.  This also does video in 3D too and you don't need 3D glasses to see it in 3D.  I believe the only way to see your 3D pictures is by wirelessly transferring them to a 3D digital viewer.  I don't know if you can see it in 3D with just a regular picture viewer like they currently sell.  Also, when you print the picture it's probably going to be in 2D.  You can also take pictures in 2D and it will only use 1 of those lenses.

I'm just wondering when they are going to make a digital camera that takes widescreen pictures which takes them at 4x6 so when you have them printed onto 4x6 sheets you don't lose the top and bottom of your picture.

And I'm wondering when we're going to get Harry Potter moving pictures, that would be neat lol.

My Spirit Board Finished

Well I finally did it.  I made a spirit board.  No, not a "Ouija" board because that name is copyrighted.  This is my own personal creation.  Although I copied the idea, I burned it.

The font I used for the letters and numbers is Captain Howdy and the yes, no, hi and bye is obviously Comic Sans.  I didn't want to have big words like Hello and Goodbye and I'm sure Hi and Bye are perfectly acceptable.

I added the sun and the moon because I read you are supposed to ask the "spirits" if they are from the sun or the moon.  Sun meaning good, moon meaning not so good.

Look, I don't know if a spirit board works or not and I don't know if or when I will ever use it, I just wanted to make one lol.

I showed awhile ago my planchette that I made but it was too big for this board so I had to cut a smaller one out of it and I am not going to drill a hole in it, instead the "spirits" can use the point from the top of it to point to everything.  I could drill a hole the size of a nickel but it's not necessary.

For now I am finished burning but I'm not completely finished with it.  I still need to put some lacquer on it.  I'm waiting until I can buy a spray lacquer instead of wasting yet another brush that I can't clean.  Also I'm sure spraying is smoother than brushing.

I hope you like it.  Oh by the way, the wood is the "irregular" from Walnut Hollow's website so it was only $2.25 and it measures 13.5"W x 10.25"H.  Pretty good price for a spirit board right?

Hump day or Ghost day?

When I was in school Wednesday was hump day.  Well now as a grown up and as an avid Sci-Fi (now SyFy) channel watcher, Wednesday is Ghost day.

Today it's not just Ghost Hunters though, from 8am to 4pm SyFy channel is airing Scariest Places on Earth. Then 4pm is Lost, 5pm is Stargate Atlantis, 6pm is Stargate SG-1 then from 7-11 is Ghost Hunters.  Well, they are adding Ghost Hunters but it's mainly Ghost Hunters International.

I'm not too crazy about Scariest Places on Earth because I'm sure those are all rigged up because those people are just regular people who are spooked for no reason so they won't know if there is a real ghost or if it's string tied to a rocking chair and being pulled via remote control.  Plus they are always doing these rituals where they have to call the ghosts to wake them up.  Bullshit!  Also the guy at the beginning who tries to scare them by telling them just how haunted the house or mansion is.  Shenanigans!

I like Ghost Hunters because they don't scream (Donna) or run (Brian).  They mostly stick around if something happens because they want to find it.  They usually run toward the activity instead of running away from it because they want to debunk it.  They have actually found speakers in this one place so they knew it was shenanigans.  And they also found shenanigans on the queen mary when someone pulled the covers and paused the tape.

What am I doing sitting here blogging?  I'm MISSING it!

Edit: What are the odds that I would blog about something this morning at 7:53am and it happens later in the day?  I said in this post:

"They have actually found speakers in this one place so they knew it was shenanigans."

And that episode is on.  I'm watching the East coast SyFyHD channel so I'm seeing it 3 hours before it really should air in CA so it's the 8pm episode called "Widows Watch".  Jay and Grant just found the speaker in the ceiling of the ladies room, when you open the door there is a sensor that activates the speakers and there is also a mirror with a face behind it that illuminates when someone is near it so when you are looking at yourself you see another face over your own.

I had no idea that episode would be on when I posted that this morning lol.  I must have ESPN or something.
