And she couldn't stand under my umbrella if it drizzled

Greetings.

So I just finished up a little maintenance work, and finally created my own profile from original gmail account. So, I will now be posting under "deezy aka the GIANT." I made this switch for a number of reasons. First, I was sick and tired of having to log in and out of gmail between the hiplectic email and my email. Secondly, I updated the hiplectic at gmail dot com profile to as 'god.' I thought this was kinda a cool idea so that if we wanted to post something really obscene or quesitonable, but didnt want our blogger name/identitiy tied to it, we could just post it as god.

Feel free to fbook inbox me for the password/email for that account if you want to make a post as God.

Thats enough of the house keeping details, as this post is imperative to the current weather situation in SB. So, it is raining. Again. And I must say, rain in the winter is like auschwitz compared to that nice warm precipitation in the summer. Growing up in Colorado, we were all accustomed to summer thunderstorms. Every afternoon from June to August at around 4:30, fat dark clouds began to develop over the foothills and started heading our way. By 5:15 it would be raining so hard that there were numerous times I had to pull over off the side of the road until it subsided. Then, by 6, the sun was back out and it was a balmy 78 degrees.

This happened summer after summer. Although there might be an occasional rainstorm in late april or early october, typically from Halloween all the way to the end of spring break, any time there was any precipation, it would be that white stuff crusted up in Pruetts nose.

Coping with winter rain has not been an easy task, especially when we have to forge our way to class on the bike path filled with minorities who already can't ride a tricycle. I have attempted many techniques to avoid getting wet, including rocking a trash bag,

putting my poncho over my backpack, wearing boardshorts and flipflops.

Recently I tired a very classic method to avoiding rain: an umberalla. What a fucking dumb idea, heres why:

1) If there is any wind, the rain goes right under the umbrella and gets you wet

2) If the wind is there, the umbrella turns upside down

3) You cannot ride a bike (safely) with an umbrella so you have to walk

4) By walking, your feet get wet, and it takes forever to get around on campus

lastly, and my biggest complaint with using an umbrella

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR HAND NOT HOLDING THE UMBRELLA

seriously, yesterday's walk to class was up there on the awkward scale (on the scale of a 7 second nut). I was holding my umbrella with my right hand (which starts to get heavy after a while, and there was no natural position to put my left hand. I couldn't put it in my pocket because it would get me more wet, I couldn't hold the umbrella with two hands because thats impractical, so i was left with only one option. The limp wrist. Often popular in snowboard steeze, (and derder when hes feeling extra flamboyant and F&F) i was forced to limp wrist.

not cool.

wow, this post went no wheree hahahahah
