When people ask what I do and I say that I'm an anthropologist, the typical response is, "Oh, that's cool! . . . What is that again? Is that like rocks or dinosaurs or something?" Although this has greatly contributed to my bruxism, I just smile sweetly and tell them that no, I study people. Usually dead ones.
Speaking of things I do and don't do: I don't have a fully realized vision of this blog yet, but my plan at present is that it will be a place for me to discuss and rant about all things anthropological. All comments, ideas, praise, and general bitching are welcome.
