I’M VERY SLEEPY

Cure for Hangover-Real Simple

So I don’t personally ever get hangovers but I was reading my favey magazine and I thought this was interesting: Eat an egg sandwich. Experts believe  cysteine, and amino acid in eggs, help break down acetaldehyde, a toxin produced when alcohol is in the liver, which can contribute to a hangover. Your body turns refined carbs into energy, hence the white bread.

My favorite thing about December is Christmas music. All of the music. All of the magic.

This too shall pass

One day Solomon decided to humble Benaiah Ben Yehoyada, his most trusted minister. He said to him, “Benaiah, there is a certain ring that I want you to bring to me. I wish to wear it for Sukkot which gives you six months to find it.” “If it exists anywhere on earth, your majesty,” replied Benaiah, “I will find it and bring it to you, but what makes the ring so special?” “It has magic powers,” answered the king. “If a happy man looks at it, he becomes sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he becomes happy.” Solomon knew that no such ring existed in the world, but he wished to give his minister a little taste of humility. Spring passed and then summer, and still Benaiah had no idea where he could find the ring. On the night before Sukkot, he decided to take a walk in one of the poorest quarters of Jerusalem. He passed by a merchant who had begun to set out the day’s wares on a shabby carpet. “Have you by any chance heard of a magic ring that makes the happy wearer forget his joy and the broken-hearted wearer forget his sorrows?” asked Benaiah. He watched the grandfather take a plain gold ring from his carpet and engrave something on it. When Benaiah read the words on the ring, his face broke out in a wide smile. That night the entire city welcomed in the holiday of Sukkot with great festivity. “Well, my friend,” said Solomon, “have you found what I sent you after?” All the ministers laughed and Solomon himself smiled. To everyone’s surprise, Benaiah held up a small gold ring and declared, “Here it is, your majesty!” As soon as Solomon read the inscription, the smile vanished from his face. The jeweler had written three Hebrew letters on the gold band: gimel, zayin, yud, which began the words “Gam zeh ya’avor” — “This too shall pass.” At that moment Solomon realized that all his wisdom and fabulous wealth and tremendous power were but fleeting things, for one day he would be nothing but dust.

Cougars and Pumas and Cheetas! Oh my!

It seems that comparing and contrasting differing types of sexually aggressive women is enough to get everyone excited. Frankly, I’m disappointed in the New York Observer, society as a whole, and you personally.

I’m not going to beat around the bush: This entire enterprise is sexist. Not because putting women who seem to have a specific sexual preference outside the norm is wrong. Heck no, that’s great! It keeps us safe! No, this is sexist because men aren’t included. We’re being left out of all the fun of being organized in such a useful manner.

So here’s my list. Take this, society!

Older man who pursues younger women
Heterosexual male

Older man who pursues older woman
Heterosexual male

Younger man who pursues older woman
Heterosexual male

Younger man who pursues younger woman
Heterosexual male
