    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    Fair enough. I like the work back at the lab. Especially if it is air conditioned. Let me state, though, that I would have been as excited as your brother if we actually found a damn thing at Tel Dor (where I dug). We found one or two shiny glass baubles, a bunch of crappy Roman pot-sherds, and...

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    Not weird at all! Garbage dumps are big in archaeology. And your dream is fairly easy to realize ... especially in England. You can volunteer at a site over summertime. It's hard work but at least it won't be hot in England unlike Israel where I dug. As for the second dream, plenty of digging at...

    Can someone say chockful? Lots more choice items from the archaeology news service to which I subscribe. I have not personally checked all the links, but I received this from them yesterday: =============================================================== Paleolithic axes found off the...

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    I was wearing a 1940s geometric tie the other day and got "Nice 70s tie."

    Scotch 101

    I agree it is worth every penny. HOWEVER from what I have heard, some folks find Laphroaig hard at first. "Medicinal," they say. Just a caveat. The 6-pack starter pack is a great idea! A proper "101 course" for Scotch. Then for a "graduate seminar" for Scotch, let's all get together and each...

    LADIES of the LOUNGE

    Don't you mean 'exudes' elegance or 'breathes' elegance? 'Reeks' is so ... inelegant ...

    Fedora Loungers on MySpace

    Wow -- it's the end of an era. Or the beginning of a new ... As always, Diamonback (and anyone else!) I am at myspace.com/458BC And I am happy to add vintage people as Friends. As an amusing game, I always promote to the top of my friends list the women whose myspace avatars are the...

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    Cass, I am a PhD student in a program at the University of California at Berkeley called "The Graduate Group in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology" or AHMA which has participating faculty from the departments of Classics, Near Eastern Studies, History, Anthropology, Art History, and...

    Exciting archaeological discoveries....

    Grain of truth? Probably, yes. "Never dispute"? well ... It depends on how interested you are in trying to tease out the plausible from the implausible amid the evidence from the ancient Mediterranean world, which is precisely what my career consists of. Determining reliability of extant...

    The Over Medium Egg

    Current issue of Martha Stewart's magazine has a rather well-written, poetic discussion of the egg. Photos of different chicken eggs, including a bluish one; ostrich, quail, goose, and duck eggs; recipes. Worth a look. There is a cat in my lap so I cannot fetch it and proffer an excerpt.

    VintageGoth?

    Why past tense? Because I was assuming that people here had moved to other musics and were not big fans anymore. I thought vintage goth referred to vintage people who liked goth.

    Who watches the WATCHMEN?

    I thought Watchmen was by FAR the smartest and best superhero comic ever done. I look forward to a film.

    "Masters of Horror"

    Stumbled across a boxed set of a cable TV show from the 80s or 90s consisting of 1-hour movies done by famous directors. The series was called "Masters of Horror." The first was "Jenifer" by Dario Argento (of Suspiria and Profondo Rosso fame), based on a comic book I read as a little boy...

    Film Scores

    Cool. I also like John Zorn's tribute to Nino Rota's film scores. Film scores are a fine genre.
