Wasabi & Aimee & Jaguar from the wonderful snowballinhell;

1. It's my water chalice, it makes my hangovers more glamourous.
2. I know!!
3. School on a Sunday?
4. Probably, I put it in most things, black pepper chocolate is amazing.
5. Yes true, true, but I like it anyway. Don't get me started on genres.
6. Not really.
7. I know!
Always!

So I've been getting the feeling lately that the academic rantings aren't going down so well, and thus, a break...
Aside from finishing that last paper, what have I been up to?
A smattering of offerings, by way of reply:
* I'm getting old. I use to bounce of walls and injure myself incessantly, and it never used to bother me. I'd be healed and...

I think I might need to get me one of them knee supports some time soon. Damn fallible body. I refuse to let it stop my yoga though, yoga is my only outlet lately. Actually I think I am more using it as a kind of control, but whatever, I need it.
I'm afraid you'll find that my life is suddenly very dull. I'll update but I don't think it will be entertaining. Sorry.

There's been an ongoing debate within anthropological film, centred around its crisis of identity, over the last thirty-odd years. This was undoubtedly sparked somewhat by anthroplogy's own existential dilema, itself driven by the (I feel, irritating) tail-chasing of postmodernist reflexivity (what right have we to anaylse them? who are they? how can one tell their tale without it...

3 bits of news for today's update.
1. My ex-lover (I become increasingly dissatisfied with the singular 'ex') left a voicemail on my phone yesterday whilst at work. It was long, and gentle, and thoughtful and hinged around the observation: 'once so close, now so far...' For those not in the know, just before I went skiing, I told her, as we sat talking over...

From what I understood of that, I'd agree with most of it. Just one mistake - the use of the word 'apparent' when describing our 'authority and superiority'.
Interestingly enough I diagnosed three new cases of gayness last week.
And we do keep all the best drugs for ourselves. You just get the cheapest ones (or none at all if you have breast cancer....).

back from a week in the alps skiing!
yes, that's right. I, of vertiginous tendencies, adoring of sun and sea and beach, of feet-on-the-ground, of faffing, mooching, and all the like... I skied. I ski. I am a skier...
aside from the occasional edge-of-the-mountain trepidation, I must say that this has been one of the best weeks I've had in a while now.

let's say you have a choice.
a PhD in Social anthropology.
It'll take 4-5 years (including one year away doing fieldwork).
let's say you start in 2008. (wow! that's ages away...)
do you go to Berkeley, Columbia, Sussex, or SOAS?
... California, NY, Brighton, or London?
what do you reckon?

Made a cocktail, won an all expenses trip to Moscow.
Celebrities for one night, mixing it up with an earpiece and mic,
poor Moscow never saw us coming!
Earned a kiss just for being,
and another in French.
"When will they return -
those marvelous English barchaps?!"
they were heard to proclaim.
And they offered us jobs...
I miss the snow. I miss the breakfast....

Aha!
Back from Moscow.
Will tell all as soon as I get a longer than five minutes online...
Till then (perhaps a day or two), give me a hint as to what's been going on with you...
Damn it's cold.
Brrrrrrr...
