Oh, *ahem* I mean, yes, we do.

Need to find stuff to do, everything is closed today thanks to it being a holiday.

You have too much spare time on your hands?

Don't they give you homework?

Back when I was a scientist

Found some of my old notes for an essay I wrote back in the Archaeology days, and they made me kinda nostalgic so I felt like sharing. Keep in mind these are notes so there's not much flow between paragraphs.

Behold;

For Ecological Arch. Essay;

If archaeology is the handmaiden of history, then archaeological theory is the hand-me-down of anthropology.

The problem inherent in any archaeological theory is it's inability to be replicated exactly and thus proven. We cannot borrow a tribe of hunter-gatherers, send them to deepest darkest North America and see if they create a new Clovis culture. I'd pay to see it, but the Geneva accord probably frowns upon such human experimentation.

In truth, we are not entirely sure of the geographical extent of all prehistoric cultures because we cannot dig everywhere. The boundaries we have established are only because that's where we've looked.

Ecological archaeology can fall into both processualism and post-processualism. It focuses on solid, scientifically attained data like palynological studies, which is in keeping with the processualist agenda. It also can take that same data and put it towards understanding past social systems like beliefs in food taboos. It is a body of methodologies and practices that can, and should, be used by all archaeologists.

There's never just one clear reason for any aspect of an archaeological assemblage. Change and stability both have a multitude of catalysts. In order to describe and analyze our data, archaeologists cannot take to hard and fast conclusions.

Ah, the days

And, I'm one image-text combination away from finishing my calling cards.

Discipline? Still working on that.

Looks like you've managed to offset the responsibility of your life with fun. I can respect that for sure. Don't get old like me, eh? ^_^

I made supper and wrote ten pages of manuscript. I'm considering making the dogs do the dishes by putting the supper plates on the floor. And in a mo' I'll be off to the gym.

I'm so old. >.<

I find it amusing that Andrea is the feminine version of Andrew. And let's face it, who kisses ass any better than Stocky and I? We're like balms to bruised egos and feelings. ^_^ And a mite charming in an overt way. ^_^

While all this is true, it fails to answer. How much?

It's a Saskatchewan license so maybe Saskatchewan is just hung up on feet/inches.

My sask driver's license also has my height in feet and inches. And it spells license like "licence".

Goal for the day: Meet with KEG client, whom based on our communication so far cannot play phone tag nor leave a proper message.

Say you're cell phone number slower dang it, I had to look it up on the site to fathom out the darn thing.

Didn't notice the spelling thing. See? It's just a weird Saskatchewan thing.

I have very strange dreams...

First, I dreamed that Meek was posting on the board again, which means he'll show up soon.

Then I had a dream where two people (one rough sounding guy and an even rougher sounding woman) were singing this odd little song. I can only remember the chorus and part of a verse;

my lawyer was caught
in the jaws of the warrior

chorus: I love root beer!

I woke up with that damn chorus in my head and it won't go away!

I think this is what it's like to go insane.

No you're not, I'm just very immature for my age.

I can't take too much responsibility, I needs the fun to keep me closer to sane than I usually am.

That paragraph makes me miss my doggies.

And again, no you're not.

Achievements:

Meeting went very well. It's great to work with rough and tumble outdoorsy-science types because you can wear jeans to the meetings and swear.

You know, I used to think there was something not quite right about that Sandman guy... now I come to find out there's a lot of things not right about that guy... sheesh, just when you think you know somebody...
