FYI re: trademark

so if you're thinking about taking trademark law during your time here, the only thing i think you should be aware of is that you should be prepared to have cravings for any number of foods (pretty much all terribly unhealthy for you), based solely on your class reading. unless you're not someone who is plagued by very fickle whims re: the foods you MUST eat RIGHT NOW. i am very susceptible to these whims and it has made the past semester difficult at times.

it was bad enough throughout the school year, when i would be reading late at night and all of a sudden i'd turn to a new case and suddenly need some some mcdonald's or ice cream or those tasty pepperidge farm goldfish crackers.

and the fact that it was at 9am meant that class discussions could be even more brutal. i generally haven't eaten breakfast before my 9am, so the first thing you put in my head, well that's what i'm going to want to eat. the real problem was that while this could be donuts one day, it could also be mexican food another day and i didn't want to be thinking about burritos at 9am! i don't even like burritos! not even after noon!

and now that i'm outlining, i'm leaping from one food product to another with such rapidity. just minutes ago, weak with hypoglycemia and the fact that my dinner was approximately 1/3 of that horrible lean cuisine hours ago and it is now 1am, i started in on the section on false advertising, only to be so cruelly confronted by Papa John's v. Pizza Hut and the overwhelming need for pizza. piiiiiizzzaaaa. i sat here thinking of all the pizza options i could get. i could quit outlining, leave the law school, and get piiiiiizzzzzaaaa. oooooooohhhhh, taaaaasssttty. somehow i pushed thru, i knew that was all silly and i live alone and do not need to eat a pizza at 1am, especially not when i am being so good with the outlining.

i moved on to the next topic on the syllabus. false endoresement. Waits v. Frito-Lay. great, so now i'm going to want chips. only, wait! i can do something approximating that w/o even moving! i have a bag of salty deliciousness right here next to me! (and the website tells me that frito-lay is responsible for rold gold pretzels.)

i think i'm safe for the rest of the syllabus, but i just figured i would warn you, in case dreaming of taco cabana for dinner one night and whataburger the next (neither of which you can get within a day's drive) doesn't sound like something you could handle.

i won't even get started on the day i decided i had to buy a fire truck...

Oh god, I would NOT do wel in that class. You know how I get with food cravings.

Which reminds me, I STILL have not gotten a crepe. They closed the crepe place in North Hampton, so I am still unsatisfied.

Dammit.
