Hey guys!  Miss me while I was away?  Its been a long summer, but I'm back in civilization.  I've also started a new archaeology blog at RealWorld Arcaheology, and I'd appreciate it if you checked it out.  I'll continue to post personal stuff here, but I'm trying to get all the professional/anthro stuff that rolls around in my head over on RWA.  If ( Read more... )

ALSO, OMG CAPS LOCK

This is what's been going on lately:

• Symposium on Human Origins (4/18-4/19): met Don Johanson, Ian Tattersall, saw Leslie Aiello, Bernard Wood, many others...
• Looking for and finding an apartment in Berkeley with Max (we'll be signing the lease tomorrow, Max moves mid-May, I move in June after field school)
• Work, school, work, ( Read more... )

Today in Ethnographic Analysis, I expected a reading quiz on Never in Anger, the ethnography of an Eskimo (*shudder*) family.  Instead, we are watching Nanook of the North, a film I've seen no less than three times in class.  I'd rather watch Atanarjuat.  That one at least has nudity and sound.

We also got our assignments for field school.  I'll be ( Read more... )

So, I haven't posted anything of substance in, oh, a month?  Its not that there hasn't been whole heck of a lot going on, its just that (mostly) I didn't know what I wanted to say about stuff, or (some) it was really about someone else, and my involvement was periphery.  Well... here we go.  In no particular order, these are the things that have ( Read more... )

My deciduous teeth were crooked, and my adult teeth are crooked.  Granted, they used to be more crooked than they are, but when my mom couldn't afford braces (which I really desperately needed), the dentist shaved down my incisors to make a little more room.  My wisdom teeth started coming in at 16 (which is pretty early), and I noticed because my ( Read more... )

Went to bed last night after watching several episodes of "Dead Like Me", and got to snuggle with my sweetie (with another month of snuggles to look forward to!).  Then I got to sleep in this morning, a little, and my mom picked me up.!  W00t!  Her Christmas present to me was a day of shopping.  We went to several stores (some of which we just ( Read more... )

I have three paper/take home final type things left.  One is Arch, which should be pretty easy.  The other two are the paper and final for Language, which should be... possible ( Read more... )

There is still no information on the website for the Makapansgat field school, even though it says to "check back later in the year for field school 2009".  Its pretty damn late in the year!  Oh well.  I'm likely not going at this point (though there is always the possibility of future sessions!) since saving that much money is turning out to be ( Read more... )

Why am I not sleepy yet? I took my half a pill at 7, just like I was supposed to. It should be making me tired by now. I refuse to believe that my brain adjusted in 24 hours, that's just ludicrous. I managed 8.5 hours of sleep last night and felt so much better. I'd like a repeat performance, I'm sure I've got it in me, with the sleep debt I' ( Read more... )
