Hello Kitty microwave

Product designers can put Hello Kitty on anything and I wouldn't even question it. Adorbs.

stay focused.

This was taken over the summer. I'm straining, because I'm flexing. Just a little motivation to not damage my body toooo much over the holidays. Abs, we will meet again. I hope to see you without straining next time.



Side note, I wish everyone on my FB feed would stop going on and on about the VS fashion show. Those women look great coming down the runway, but as soon as they turn to the side, I feel really sad for them. You can have a sandwich AND abs. Read Stacy's story: Inspiration, not thinspiration

Leisurely lunch with a visiting friend. I decided to order the ABC combo instead of their specialty, ramen. Good, but not great. 

Tripe. 

Teriyaki chicken. Bleh at best, but there was a delicious scoop of potato salad right next to it. 

This post is making me hungry. Dang it. 

Do I need to take all the bar classes?

If it's not a requirement for your school, bar classes are not necessary in order to pass the CA Bar. Your test prep company will cover all the basics.

I didn't take community property or First Amendment. My friend didn't take crim pro. We both passed on the first try. 

The only bar class we all agree that you should take is evidence. The rules are complicated, and you have to learn the California distinctions on top of the FRE. I saved a lot of time studying, because I knew most of the evidence rules prior to starting test prep.

Ever wonder what a lawyer sweatshop looks like?

These are all attorneys. They are sitting in front of computers in a row, reviewing documents. This is called contract work.

 I signed up for this.

cute but deadly

I was told that a man had this gun custom painted for his wife. Note how some artist, not satisfied with painting Hello Kitty, decided to paint Hello Kitty with an assault rifle.

Thanksgiving

I'm trying to resist the urge to be cynical, and there's a lot of things to be cynical about when reflecting on Thanksgiving. But if art is about selective viewing, then why not reflect on a story of survival? A story of risk taking, uprooting and new beginnings. It's been awhile since I've thought about those weary travelers, the first immigrants. Happy Thanksgiving to them, and to the rest of us too.
