Oh Em Gee

As God is my witness, I didn’t think it was possible for Eliza Dushku to get even hotter, but there you have it.

Linkdump Thursday

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets

I am busy with my criminal takehome exam at the moment, so in lieu of content, here are links. All universities are biased in their hiring procedures! This is quite likely the least probable news headline in some time. In case you were wondering, Alan Keyes is still batshit insane. Five possible plotlines for Arrested […]

A Vast Disappointment

Posted by MGK Published in Law, Law Skool, The Internets

There is a case, universally known to all law school students, called Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball, which is a case that absolutely every introductory contracts teacher uses for two reasons: 1.) It’s a good example of a case that shows how to distinguish an offer from an invitation to treat, and also sets the […]

Pimpery

I frequently extol the virtues of Christmas Remixed, a great series of albums where DJs warp and weave Christmas classics straight from the original 45s to create totally new tracks that have a wonderfully modern feel to them, yet, at their best, remain respectful to the original. But it’s a pain to not be able […]

This Is Horribly Interesting!

Posted by MGK Published in It's The Youtube

The Global show Da Kink In My Hair does a Youtube-based “Kink Cam” where they actually go into Toronto salons and discuss whatever issue was involved in a given episode’s plot. It’s actually more interesting than the show itself. (Which isn’t to say that Da Kink is a bad show – it isn’t – but […]

As Bad As Bad Can Be (Meaning Bad Bad, Not Good Bad)

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks

A while back, I linked to an article about bad American cosplay, and someone in the comments made an excellent point: that Japanese cosplayers attempt to go to the heart of the character when designing the costume, while American (and presumably Canadian and other generally western-type) cosplayers rely much more heavily on the external visual.

Goddamnit!

I hate it when I get an idea, look around on the Internet, and find out that somebody else beat me to it and only very recently at that.

Damn You, Lucas

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

I should really be summarizing Asamera Oil Corp. Ltd. v. Sea Oil and General Corp. right now (it’s as fascinating as you think it is), but… Mark Kleiman has a point about the imagination requirement for toys steadily dropping, although I’m not sure how grounded it is; after all, interactive talking toys have been practically […]

We Apologize For The Slight Decline In Service

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

…but I have two finals next week (contracts and criminal law) and if I am going to get my A (and C), I need to buckle down over the next few days. So that means less activity than usual. Regular schedule resumes soon enough, believe me.
