this latte is from too early on a sunday morning
































 I think the best thing about medical school is how a man can ask you, "How was your presentation on..." and you can finish the sentence, "... female genitalia?"

Because I think that kind of thing is hard to come by in the real world when the man isn't your chief resident, who went to medical school in Tehran and was an ER doc and then did medical school again in the U.S. and is now an internal medicine doctor who tells you stories about a man who tried to pay for a car in cash and crashed into the car dealership with the car he was test driving. People. Are. Amazing.

elephant tea pot




















Spotted this elephant tea pot this morning and accidentally became obsessed with the idea of elephant tea pots. And it holds 28 oz.!
