What a Good Day!!!

Today's been going pretty good. It turns out somebody actually reads my blog! Who knew, huh? I've also taken care of the financial stuff for the U of A paleo society (that I to say I'v passed the buck to somebody else), I've packed up most of my stuff and I got Gmail. As for the comment on my last blog about becoming a superhero called Mammoth Man, I've decided to pass on that. After all, I've always wanted to be a super villain rather than the hero and people might be kind of confused when they expect somebody mammoth in proportion but only get me. On top of that, the idea of an evil paleontologist has been done. Remember the 80's movie BABY, about a baby dinosaur that's being hunted by an evil paleontologist in the Congo and a beautiful but ditsy female paleontologist and her husband are trying to save it? The movie did ok, but the evil paleontologist dies at the end, and i really don't want that kind of precedent set for me.

The end is near

Well, despite the fact that everything I touch seams to be doomed to ruin (even especially this blog), I can just about see the end at hand. Eleve more days until I leave for field school and about ten more after that until I leave for south Dakota. My housing situation is taken care of for once and I just have to worry about getting through my exams and field school alive. Given that my shoes are absolute crapola (I was going to buy new ones but cheaped out) I think I'm going to buy some insoles and glue tire tred onto the bottom of my current shoes. That ought to extend the life of them for another year or so. The next time I blog, odds are I'll have something to say about the pleistocene of South Dakota.
