weekday update.

for those of us entrenched in the battle known as "finals vs. the capacity of the human body," i thought i would give you my unadulterated review of a few pain-killers and headache-reducers.

advil: for amateurs and neophytes. take the recommended dosage if you want, but for a civil procedure or contracts headache, regular strength advil just ain't gonna cut it.

aleve: it took me forever to figure out that aleve stood for "alleviate". guess why? pathetic excuse for medical aid.

bloody mary: probably the best answer for a headache out there. i'm not joking. the little bit [or a lot, depending on what, exactly, you want to achieve] of vodka is a fantastic numbing agent while the pepper and tomato juice distract your attention from your headache to a now-burning throat or stomach.

jerusalem post: for the masochists out there. this and any other middle eastern news outlet will do wonders for your headache - by making it worse. subsequently you will appreciate any lesser pain in your temples much more readily.
