Yeah, I know, I’ve been gone for six days. I was hiking the Appalachian trail. (DAMN YOU MARK SANFORD FOR INSTANTLY SUCKING ALL THE CREDIBILITY OUT OF THAT PHRASE. WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US THAT ARE LEGIT? DID YOU STOP TO THINK ABOUT HOW YOU WERE HARMING PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY WERE HIKING APPALACHIAN TRAILS BEFORE YOU WENT OFF TO ARGENTINA TO BANG YOUR MISTRESS? HM? NO YOU DID NOT. SO F–K YOU MARK SANFORD FOR DE-LEGITIMIZING HIKING IN APPALACHIA. THAT WAS MY FAVORITE GODDAMN PLACE TO HIKE.)
Anyway, yes, I’ve been gone for six days. Things have been happening, you guys. Not big important things, but just little things that all seem to try to get in through the door of my life all at once and I’m all HEY LITTLE THINGS GET THE F–K OUT but they do not listen because they have issues with authority.
Coincidentally, the CAPS ATAK part is also what I scream when people with children come to visit us. It horrifies Mama Hoomster terribly. I’m always dashing her hopes of having little grand-Hoomsters running around. (Gross.)
Things for today: I very much need to get through my Trademarks final. It’s worth 50% of our grade, and the rest of the class will be devoted to Copyrights, and then the final at the end of the semester will just be for Copyrights. Fingers crossed! Quick! Someone list the test for primarily deceptively geographically misdescriptive marks! (That are NOT registrable under the Lanham Act.)
(1. primary significance is that it names a place generally known to the public.
2. there exists an association that allows reasonable consumers to believe that the product could have come from that place. (Goods association test.)
3. Goods actually do NOT come from that place.
4. The misrepresentation was a material factor in the consumer’s purchasing decision.)
Wow, good job, guys. See, this is why I keep you around. Because you’re all so s-m-r-t.
So once I get through that, I can skip out and hang with my pal Amber and her pal Sabrina who are visiting Chicago this week. We’re going to Hackney’s and I’m going to eat EVERYTHING. These caffeine pills I’ve been abusing make me super hungry.
And super dehydrated.
And super not-properly-utilizing-my-body’s-stored-deposits-of-calcium-y.
But don’t worry, I’ve got a handle on it. I could teach that Jessie Spano a trick or two. (Google if you don’t get the joke.)
And then I’ll be back, promise, with more affordable fashion, as well as posts where I yell about an Australian woman who wants an injunction to keep her daughter from calling her stepmom “Mummy,” and a post about labor unions, and a post about why Supreme Court Justice Roberts is a little bitch.
FUN TIMES YOU GUYS.
See you soon.
I’m so excited, I’M SO SCARED!!
