McDonalds in Thailand

One thing I like to do when I'm visiting a different country is to see what unique things are on the McDonald's menus there (I try not to eat there when I'm out and about... although sometimes you just start craving fries no matter where you are, I'm sorry...). It's like a lesson in globalization and cultural integration ;)

Here in Thailand (and also in most Asian cities I've been to) are Taro, Corn, and Pineapple flavored pies. China had green bean pies, too. There should be a "McDonalds Around the World" book. I always talk about this. I should get over it hahah.

Somewhat related: I am very much against these chains opening in the middle of extremely cultural places. I hope they have kicked that Starbucks out of the Forbidden City by now >:(

Creatures of the Past Toilets

This would be an interesting exhibit, actually. And by interesting I mean really disgusting.

Torts Law is OVER

whoo hoo! it basically feels like finals are over. OK well still got lawyering skills to go, but I can seriously taste summer. Went to Father's Office in Santa Monica for the first time today-- what a funny name. I always got confused when my friends said they were going to go to "Father's Office" haha. Gotta admit their burgers are really good, although I don't like the vulture-style table waiting. Buuut good food and good beer is always a good time for me :)

Can't wait till Monday... for now, two elephants for you.

Planet Earth Clips, Pt I

So I started watching Planet Earth last night (bad idea?), and I decided to post clips of parts that I find especially funny or crazy (if I can find it on YouTube).

Funny: Strange Bird Mating LOL I love it aahaha it's so sad at the end too ahaha



Crazy: Great White Breaching (Devouring Seals)



The good part starts in the middle. Holy crap that is so scary I think I would die of shock if I saw it in real life... or at least piss myself if I saw it at the IMAX. Thank goodness I saw it on my little laptop screen the first time... still very scary. and crazy. They are machines.

kids

one of my cousins in germany. it makes me somewhat sad to think he won't look like this the next time i see him. ultimate cute... i miss them. esp during finals time. the happy way that only kids can be is... happy.

sigh.

Constitutional Law is OVER

Graveyard Strolling in Stirling, Scotland.

I think I will make a post like this after each exam. Then I can collect all four :)
This picture here is another metaphorical picture of me.

Hahah just kidding. I'm being morbid/overly dramatic for no reason. It'll be interesting to see how I did in this class, though. It's amazing how quickly 4 hours fly by when you are taking an exam. I will possess Supreme Knowledge of the major supreme court cases for the next... 1.3 hours. My brain dumps happen pretty quickly.

It was nice to come back today and see Planet Earth waiting for me! As well as a pair of shoes. Whoohoo I sure know how to suffer right.

One thing I did learn through Conlaw was what partial birth abortions are. I am pro-choice, but it is really disturbing..

Doge's Palace in Venice
can you spot me in this picture? hahah. it is very metaphorical right now.

3 finals, 10 days to go.

I recently learned of a editing trick for school essays (courtesy of one of W's forums):

On a typical size 12 Times New Roman essay, if you change the periods to size 14, the change is indiscernable to the normal reader but it adds ~2 pages to your paper!! (assuming you are trying to get to 8-10 pages) I haven't tried it, but I guess it really works!

That's pretty amazing. Probably would have helped me in high school when I was trying to reach the minimum page count, rather than now, when I'm pulling my hair out trying to fit my memo in within maximum page limit (everyone in my LS has this problem, i guess it's how the professors create a curve... who will be the best fact squeezer-inner? dun dun dun)
