birds

new photos of julia (see sidebar at right). these were taken by life and light photography.

also, because you sat in traffic today, and that was a little emotionally draining, look at this brief video entitled "birds". it's therapeutic.

here's to all of you who finished studying years and years ago. cheers.

this weekend, i studied.

despite the title of this particular post, i usually really enjoy studying -- it's the opportunity costs that i deplore. this weekend i spent far too much time digging through hematology notes and articles (hematology is the study of blood -- anemia, blood cancers, problems with platelets and clotting and bleeding -- that sort of thing). i'm planning on spending a good bit of february with a hematologist, so i'm trying to brush up some on things i've forgotten since med school. that way, i look real smart when i'm on rounds.

my idea, though, was to begin to post my notes on a blog, primarily so that i can access them wherever i have internet access -- but also for the benefit of other residents. i haven't figured out how to organize them well using blogspot, but i've got adam to help (nice new look, by the way, adam). if you really have a penchant for suffering, or if you just want to delight in the fact that you're done nosing through textbooks, my new site is to the right titled "griggsnotes" under the subject heading "others high in fiber".

and i updated julia's blog with a few photos. (is this blog thing getting way out of hand?)
