I’d be blinded by my love for Cheese Festivals.

My friend’s mother has RSF. She always looks like she’s smiling.

As opposed to her new duties of having to go inaugurate all sorts of fascinating events like cheese festivals and shake hands with all and sundry til her dying day? I’d say she’s much more blinded by love than bored with trying lipstick and blush.

Is there something called Resting Smiley Face? (Can I trademark RSF?) In almost every picture I see of Meghan, she’s always smiling, or half-smiling, or pursing her mouth in a weird smug smirk. Even when there’s no reason to believe that a camera is on her (although I suppose she realizes that the camera is always on…

I’ve never seen it in the Filipino side of my family. I’m half Filipino and my hair (when I had hair) looked exactly like his. Maybe it’s how Filipino hair mixes?

My Dad assumed I would, despite my already having 2 children who have my (his) last name. Despite expressly being told otherwise, he addresses birthday cards to Firstname Husbandsname for not just me, but my kids as well.

Bruno is more Filipino than Puerto Rican. Our indigenous peoples, the Aeta, Ifugao, Tumadok, etc. are Black descendants of a more ancient people. After centuries of colonization, our indigenous peoples retreated to the mountains and others assimilated into life with the colonizers of the time (like the Chinese,…

Fancy dog though he may be, Tom Brady has such a disturbing, aggressively vacuous vibe about him that I can’t watch him speak for more than a minute or so.

The Kenzo video would get a pass for ripping off the Walken video because they were both directed by Spike Jonze, so it could be viewed more like a sequel than a mimic.

I mean, there are a couple arguments to be made here.

it’s more like they both ripped off that music video with Christopher walken where’s he straight laced but dancing like a freak in a fancy hotel

I find it more tacky to serve American obesity size plates, so people with a bit more eating tact than a jackal have to leave food on the plate that gets thrown away[*]. When even the appetizers can feed a family of four, the only sane choice then becomes to order from the kids’ menu. If American restaurants started…

I have a few friends who have had gastric bypass surgery, and getting a portion off the kids menu is the only way they can eat out with us. Most restaurants have decided that bigger is better, so it is really hard for them to find a place that serves food in a more manageable size. They always feel bad about it, but I…

This so much! Sometimes people don’t necessarily eat out to “eat out”. You don’t know.. maybe that’s the only time your 14 year old kid actually will talk to you, so you eat out a lot more than you normally would so you can know what’s going on in their life.. or maybe you’re with someone who’s hungry but you’re…

Damn right. Never ever consent to a search of anything (self, vehicle, home). Insist that you do not consent. If the police had a warrant/probable cause, then they wouldn’t be asking for consent. It amazes me how many people consent to searches, knowing that they have things they shouldn’t have.

In the same vein: clients need to be brutally honest with their attorneys. I don’t want my client’s rose-colored or the client’s best version of the events. I want the unvarnished truth, warts and all. That truth is going to come out one way or another; if I know about it ahead of time, I can develop a strategy to…

I will add that defending a person in a criminal case does not mean you condone their actions or behavior. I’m an officer of the court doing my job, I don’t actually think murder and child molestation are cool. I get really sick of laypeople saying “oh, I would never defend that person”, because they have moral…

As a lawyer, I’d add this one: Just because someone is a lawyer doesn’t mean they know anything about the area of law you want to ask about.

As a litigator, I have to say that deadlines and details matter. Ignoring deadlines from the Court (or not responding to your attorney’s calls or emails) can have huge ramifications in a lawsuit. Same with details: I want to know exactly what my client knows, exactly what my client doesn’t know, and what he/she is…

Adult orders are gigantic. I gotta order from the kids menu.
