Apparently, I am five years old.
Because I have had “She’ll Be Comin’ Round The Mountain” STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR THREE HOURS NOW. What the fuck?
It could be worse. Sometimes I teach at places that also offer English as a Foreign Language to kids, and I’ll spend weeks hearing “The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round”.

LAZINESS
People who get up early and busy themselves all day long are heading for an early grave, says public health expert Professor Peter Axt.
He believes lazing about is the key to a long life and an antidote to professional stress, provided people are otherwise healthy.
He says: “People who would rather take a midday nap instead of playing squash have a better chance of living into old age.” via dailyrecord uk
I look forward to a long life. Take that, stress-heads!
Napping isn’t a sport? Now that is news….

Why being grumpy can be good for you
It may take more muscles to frown than to smile - but being grumpy is better for you.
A new study into behavioural health has discovered people who are always crabbit are less gullible and better at decision making.
His findings show even the most negative emotions, such as sadness and grumpiness, can prove more valuable than happiness and other positive feelings.
According to Prof Forgas, grumpy people make better eye witnesses, are harder to fool and will make better judgment calls than cheerier people.
He believes that a negative mood “triggers more attentive, careful thinking and we pay greater attention to the external world”.

Only a YANKEES WORLD SERIES win could reduce me to this level of sentimentality. But there you go.
Next year, Boston, we will crush you too.
“ Basically, I realized, I was living in that awful stage of life from the age of twenty-six to thirty-seven known as stupidity. It’s when you don’t know anything, not even as much as you did when you were younger, and you don’t even have a philosophy about all the things you don’t know, the way you did when you were twenty or would again when you were thirty-eight.

I spent so much of my thirties being glad I was out of my twenties that it was a major relief to hit forty and start enjoying what’s in front of me.

Just wait till fifty. You’ll be in heaven. At least from the ears up.
A kid wanted to talk to me after class today about why literary criticism imposes artificial limits on personal interpretation.
He’s an 18 year old freshman who I observed reading Ayn Rand before class. I looooove an intellectually curious student, make no mistake, but not today, kid. You and your Ayn Rand?

Good god. The Stones all look so young here, like Baby Muppets (of course back in the day when I was 10 or so I though Mick was the epitome of evilsexycool).
Can’t resist this one, also for KarehUhOh.

No, this was the Russian billionaire guy, Roman Abramovich. Bey and Hov’s bill (from the same restaurant a few days earlier) was only about $1,200, which translated to a comparatively paltry $500 tip. (Also, TRUFFLE CARPACCIO? HOWYOUDOIN?)
It’s always that last bottle of wine that really runs the bill up, isn’t it.
