I'm not [Dead]!


Heya Space Cowboys/Cowgirls!

Yes, I am alive!

I apologise for the lack of blogging rants, I’ve been otherwise preoccupied….

I wish I had an awesome excuse involving the economic downturn and espionage work for people who wear black suits and shoes that squeak… but unfortunately I’m boring.

The reason I’ve been quiet is because I’ve got my hands full of antelope bones! Wallaby and Kangaroo soon to join! Now if that’s not a party I don’t know what is….
It is a long story, but needless to say things have been a little hectic.

But there have been so many new and exciting things happening in archaeology that I’m truly regretting my absence from the blogosphere. Not because anyone actually reads this, but because now my brain is doing this thing where I try to write an essay only to ramble incoherently and then pursue weird tangents that end in…well, let’s just say it gets pretty messy.

Anyway, I’ll get back to the point. Here are some stories that I think you folks might be interested in.

Dinosaurs in Cambodia…FTW?! ….okay this one I just thought was funny

Spike = Keanu?? Eh?! - Some would argue that this isn't archaeological, i disagree. People will dig up dvds in the future and when they figure out how to recovery the images they will say "well, now we know why it was in the garbage!"
No, I'm sorry!
I shall wait until the movie surfaces until i pass judgement.

Okay, I seriously have to stop procrastinating! But I’m hoping that will keep you entertained until next Friday at least.

I promise to keep up my crazy talk. So those of you, YES YOU, who started to think I was dead, fear not! You may sleep well from this night on!

[Insert cricket buzz/hum here]

Do crickets buzz? Hum? Chirp? Whistle? Hum and whistle simultaneously?

Someone enlighten me.

Or better yet, record a cricket impersonation! That would be two kinds of awesome….slash weird.
