Caution: Hot Beverage

lots of stuff to talk about. big basketball game tomorrow night between usc and them (ucla). thursday i go to usc's hospital to follow around a trauma surgeon as he teaches a group of naval trauma trainees. sometime in the next few days i interview a guy over the phone who is "couch surfing" across the world over the next five years. also in the next few days i hopefully hear more about an expenses-paid trip throughout finland in august courtesy of the finnish government which apparently wants more journalists to have a general knowledge of its country.

the other day i saw a girl unlock her bike, which was of course not locked to a bike rack, but rather conveniently double-parked in front of a bike rack. in the process of unlocking her pink beachcruiser monstrosity, she knocked over two other freestanding bikes. she looked at me as i walked by and then got on her bike and rode off, leaving the two bikes on the ground. people are dicks.

there is a bike rack by our intercollegiate athletics gym and there are always like 15 bikes free parked right inside the narrow entrance, practically blocking the whole thing. of course, there are like 50 open racks that these morons could have parked in. i'm definitely not wasting five minutes trying to maneuver back and forth through this maze of flower-covered pink and green cruisers, so i always manage to ride as fast as i can into the little enclosure and see how many i can knock over and ride on. then i kick over the rest and see how many i can stack in one pile before it starts to tip over. they never learn, because they are always parked there. i don't know if should be impressed by their stubborness or deeply depressed by their idiocy
