Fiddling Around

I can't snap with my right hand. At all. I really wish I could, but I've been trying for as long as I can remember, and I've never come close.

In other news, all but one of my old archaeology textbooks are in boxes up in my parents' attic. This isn't a surprise - I put them up there myself, after all - but I wish I had them with me right now. There's useful things in those books. On the upside, the one book I do have with me is probably the most useful; it's the one that most directly talks about method and process, in other words the book that most directly explains how to do archaeology. Still wish I had the rest, though.

Should probably say something else about what's going on here, but not a whole lot to report. New quarter's started; taking four classes, grading for a fifth. I'm pretty much in class Tuesday-Thursday and doing homework the rest of the time. Not as fun as it sounds, but overall pretty tolerable. I got an internship this summer, for which I'm overqualified. But I need an internship to graduate, so an internship I have. The place seems pretty cool, so I'm looking forward to it.

More as it occurs to me.

Brian:

What kind of internship have you procured (sp?) ?

Jason:

The sort that allows me to wreak havoc on a global scale.

Well, actually, it's doing international exchange again, though this time for a place that handles scholars, government officials and businessmen rather than students. Shorter program durations, too.

Zach:

YAY my friend is an international pimp again!!!

Zach:

Hey Jason I dont suppose you happen to have a report on those crazy suns of guns in tokyo I think that release the sarin gas into the tunnels? My Neice (one of the ones you met) Has a report on a Cult and I feel like bequething her an A paper....

Brian:

You mean you have an internship with Mojo Jojo? Now THAT would be a cool gig to get.

Jason:

Zach - I dunno that any of the people that I'm helping out are the "looking to immigrate type," but we'll see. As for the sarin gas types, you're talking about Aum Shinrikyo. I talked about them a little bit over here. I did write a paper on them, but it's a big graduate-type research paper involving discussions of postmodernism; not the sort of thing one of your nieces could turn in in high school. I'd be happy to give whatever other help I can, though.

Brian - You're so right, as in correct. That is to say that your statement was accurate and even on target. It would be way cool, awesome and in all other ways excellent to intern for Mojo Jojo. :)

MoJo JoJo:

You will bring me coffee, and it will be hot. Do NOT bring me cold coffee, for I do not like that! The temperature of the coffee must be well above the temperature of the room, but below the boiling point. Do not bring me tea! It is a seperate beverage, different from coffee, and it is coffee that I want. Hot coffee!

Marc:

So what is the boiling point of coffee anyway?

I might point out that there are people who deliver packages cross-country. If you want your books, you should send for them.

Congrats on the internship. Maybe when you graduate, you could combine your experience from the two international pimp agencies you will have worked for. Send foreign dignitaries to work at summer camps. Get hostel-seeking teens into Interpol. Then get Nickelodeon to make a TV show about it.

You'll be rich! Rich, I say!

Erik:

Getting his books would entail asking his parents to root around in the attic looking for particular items and then shipping them in a timely fashion.

gus:

Congrats on the internship you being overqualified can only mean you'll do the job much better than other interns won't you?

Meg:

You're left-handed, correct? Not THAT unusual to not be able to snap with your non-dominant hand.
