umbrellas are stupid

It's raining here in the Windy City and I have to say that umbrellas are really stupid. They don't do any good! I still get wet and maybe my hair and face aren't soaking but with the wind and all, I think we need a new invention. I have been wanting someone to build clear plastic bubbles for humans to walk around in when it rains or snows. It doesn't have to be an enclosed bubble; it can be more like an upside down tube. Ideally, it would have a contraption that would allow the whole thing to rest on your shoulders, freeing up your hands to sip your coffee or sneak a quick breakfast, while you're walking to class or to the hospital or wherever.

Sociology would have been interesting to study. I went to the gym early Sunday morning and I saw at least two anorexic girls working out like crazy people. I went to the gym today (weekday) and it was packed. I'm sure that the gym is more crowded now because it's a BRAND NEW YEAR! Everybody's made new years resolutions. I know this is true because last quarter when I was being a huge slacker and didn't have any major hospital rotations, I went to the gym every morning at around the same time and I roughly know the ebb and flow. Today was different. People are so transparent.

I can't believe that Desperate Housewives won best comedy last night? and that Brokeback got a bunch of awards? What is going on?!?

I love this picture... it was taken by Gaurav who was killing us with his "photography skillz." :)
