I love the name Minty! Can my name be Minty too?

Your post on the school steam thread reminded me that I have Japanese language packs installed on my machine.

Of course the only reason is to have it show up as to not annoy me by being all those weird non-language characters.

What's your favorite Stereolab album?

Do you have their first post-Mary Hansen EP yet?

pshhht!
whats the point of having you and some other chicks love baby?? thats all the guilt with none of the pleasure, thats like saying, "yo, i want you to go to prison for the next 30 years while i go kill someone" like, wheres the fun in that?

by the way, feminism is about as relevant today as the betamax being superior quality than vhs. and i surely don't see the application in something like theory....i think its just plain old rebelliousness that pushes women to complain about their role in hunter gatherer world. so the concept of babysitters was around at that time? where exactly would the women find time between having babies and maintaining the cave?
i mean, where men soley responsible for the rise of civilisation? of course not. men and women have needed and always will need each other to play their pivotal roles. like in any household, things developed as a cooperative effort. women do deserve credit for their part, but to get all silly and argue about the roles of the hunter and gatherer is like men complaining about their image as being tesoterone fueled pigs fucking or killing everything in their sights.
i agree that all sexes should be dealt with equally, but the differences between the sexes are distinct and its silly to pretend it doesnt exhist, the way most feminists do. i think feminism is about as good as chauvanism. they are both extremist perspectives that do more harm than good.

and yes, theory is sexy as fuck.

Thanks for your comment. And hey, nice journal entry. I'm going to have to start upping the intellectual level of mine, I didn't realize the standard had been set so high.

Your comments on post hoc feminist additions to prehistory are very interesting. Do you feel like personal biases often get incorporated into scientific theory, and tend to blind researchers from looking as objectively as they can at facts? As a biologist, I see this too (though from a different perspective,) people who are in one 'scientific camp' tend to only interpret new data as it supports their own theory - or immediately discount data that contradicts their own. Do you believe it's possible to ever be truly objective?

well thank you for visiting...... i posted on the bragg thread..... glad somebody feels the same way about the spirit of woody....... i feel all minty-fresh now......

It may feel that way at times, but hey - you're in the home stretch!!! I love being able to have deep conversations like that where a subject is debated and not argued. I don't like the idea of pushing my ideas off on other people as much as sharing them and discussing them and letting them figure out whatever they want to believe in.

Stopped by to wish you a happy thanksgiving, and tell you that I'm glad to have met you, if only virtually. And here I get a bonus journal entry I hadn't yet seen... mmmm and the answer to the question from last time. That really is fascinating.

My earliest memory? Hmm, predates indy. Predates tut. I think it was in 1st or 2nd grade, when I first heard anything about pyramids and such. My first thought was that I wanted to explore it. Not from a kid on the jungle gym standpoint, but from a check out everything in it and discover its secrets kind of way. Reading about tut kind of fueled that fire and added color to the idea of what I imagined an archaeologist did (hey I was young).

Questions for you... what are your thoughts on the ossuary that's been in the news? And one more, do you have an opinion or theory regarding the Sphinx's paw?

trilo

my earliest memory of archaeology is reading about heinrich schliemann finding troy and mycenae. i was 7 or 8. it was a book i got because i was into greek mythology.
i realized the other day that i never found a projectile point in belize.

school in the UK??!? that's awesome. a friend of mine did both under grad and graduate stuff in london and loved it. but i think he's part doofus because he calls sneakers "trainers."

oh specialness is most certainly a factor.
-I was just unaware of the specialness until it overwhelmed someone else enough to let it spill over onto innocent bystanders.

I'm a secret boy! Shhh, don't tell anyone.

Nice to meet you. I guess I could post about the shows and things I'm going to and my school, but I dunno. It just doesn't seem like anything people'd be interested in.

Yay for Helmut Newton.
