So, how about that dictatorship happening in Pakistan Fiji? Now, as a [feckless] student of the law, I’m all about legal order and civil rights and that, but come on, who hasn’t dreamed of power and domination? True, my fantasies are more skewed towards global domination, but one country- even if only an island nation - is still pretty impressive.

It is a little horrifying at the moral level but infinitely fascinating in the way of wish fulfilment to contemplate being the one staging a coup, removing the elected leader and installing yourself in his place. Then, when the courts label your government illegal, simply FIRING ALL THE JUDGES and REVOKING THE CONSTITUTION, which effectively hands back control of the country to- you. What a power trip! Imagine the bragging rights- ‘I revoked the frakking constitution’. DUDE. There is very little that can possibly compete with the inherent awesome of that one line.

Onto a shallower and infinitely prettier subject, Summer Glau, dancing! I was all kinds of gleeful at that brief ballet scene in TSCC, so I'm thrilled to see this!
