the dawning realisation that I am a Terry Pratchett troll: I get cranky and stupid when I am too hot, and I don't even realise what's happening. I'd be a genius in the mountains etc.

fell over the vacuum hose while doing a spin in my room, badly sprained both ankles, then exacerbated the injuries by walking downhill for 20 mins from my torts exam to work the next day
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

sometimes I reflect on my work and I think the three basic categories of regulatory offending are (1) that's dickhead behaviour (2) you're taking the piss and (3) look, we just can't be having that

I am going to copy a friend without checking in with her first about the premise of the thing and do a music advent calendar, which I take to mean 1 song a day by artists beginning with each letter of the alphabet

my controversial pie take is that my favourite way to eat them is to crack the top off, eat the filling with a fork (dipping my chicken salt chips in the gravy as I do so), then eat the pastry in teared-off strips.

apparently my mother knew I would be a lawyer when I, aged 14 months, argued with her about my first pair of togs. I did not in fact get my degree until I was 32, having spent almost a decade working as a legal secretary.

my only commentary on whatever the death threat ban/suspension thing is that it is obviously a strict liability offence on account of the mods don't know what your state of mind was when you decided to riff off the Beatles or whatever

ten thirty on a friday night and am thinking about henry thring's "bills are made to pass as razors are made to sell" again. probably my favourite of all the niche legislative development aphorisms. (I do not know of any others.)

so three years ago we bowled our old cottage held together by asbestos, borer, and duct tape, and build a modern 2-storey house with advanced features like insulation, double-glazing, piles, floor joists, and consistently working plumbing.

I have been playing ridiculous hours of Starfield lately and turns out while the early game is not as satisfying as Fallout or Skyrim, by mid-game (I just hit level 30) I'm actually feeling more compelled to learn the secrets of the galaxy etc

NZLII is a brilliant resource run on a shoestring budget (for example, it is to the best of my knowledge the only source online for legislation as it was published prior to 2007) and people can really take a hike
