would rather be...

the lab has been pretty crazy recently.  i'm desperately trying to get data together for the meeting i'm presenting at in just a few short weeks... in the past 5 days i've spend approximately 45 hours in the lab.  

i would definitely rather be here...

... Finland.

Home of the cell phone, 190,000 lakes, and, of course, 

the Wife-Carrying World Championships.

i'm so not joking.

check out the BBC article - gotta love a country that can be so serious and so ridiculous - reminds me of myself.
