cool runnings

so today was the first significant snow in bloomington. it all happened so quickly; i literally looked away from the window for two minutes and then i looked out again and saw a blizzard (only none of it stuck... sad). now, my first reaction was clearly to walk back to my room, warm up some hot chocolate, and crash on the futon underneath a blanket and play xbox--but oh wait, that's broken, isn't it!? (not that i'm bitter.) so let's change that to crashing in my bed with a good book and then a nice nap.

so i start my journey back to my dorm when i see a runner. yes, a runner. not only is this girl running in the cold, but she's wearing shorty shorts. and even worse: she didn't even look cold. so either she had just left her room and it hadn't gotten to her yet or she was raised by inuit polar bear farmers. either way, she should not be running around bloomington unless she has at least two layers.

so needless to say, i felt like a worthless human being since i couldn't even convince myself to run when it was comfortable outside, and here's some girl running around half-naked when it's snowing.

oh, and just for kicks and giggles, here's a map of inuit dialects by region.
