the present and future
I like how Livejournal made it so you can type in the location your posts are coming from. This is convenient for me, because my location often changes fairly quickly and I'd get behind trying to keep my profile up to date. Currently, I'm working in Jacksonville, Illinois, which is not a very exciting place, but then again most places aren't. ( Read more... ) -
my sordid past
dotdorsner just posted this thing, which is somebody trying to put together a comprehensive history of a message board that I used to post to frequently and even moderated for a while. Heck, at times the Sluggy boards were my social life. During the spring semester of my freshman year at Geneseo, I would go days at a time without talking to anybody in ( Read more... ) -
screw you disney
Does anyone else wonder why Disney made a special package for Pirates of the Carribean One and Two on DVD? I mean, there's going to be another movie, right? So basically they are just putting this out there in hopes that people will be distracted by the shiny DVD package and buy it, and then buy one for all three movies in another year or two?

inane cynical rambling
Wow, I never meant to go this long without updating this thing, but I wasn't really feeling like I had to go a tell everybody about my (less than) exciting life and career. Archaeology, of course, is really, really fun. Except when it isn't, like when you're trying to dig holes in a stupid field where the landforms have obviously been smushed and ( Read more... ) -
license to Ill
One of the exciting things about my job is that I get to travel to all sorts of places that I otherwise would not have an opportunity to visit. The downside to this is that sometimes I end up in places like Decatur, Illinois, where I am now. We are surveying in an area east of here where every available plot of land is either a cornfield or a ( Read more... ) -
i've been having entirely too much fun...
And that's the main reason why I haven't been updating this thing. When I was back at Geneseo, some of my fellow students were trying to get me to go to their field school out in Ohio. "C'mon, it'll be so much fun," they said. But I took notice of my rather precarious financial situation and instead signed up to spend a few months in Wisconsin ( Read more... ) -
Brendan visits the highest point in Wisconsin and laughs
Lots of stuff has taken place since I last updated this, but very little of it is exciting. In Superior, me and the rest of my little cadre spent more than three days attempting to dig and screen a heavily disturbed field that consisting almost entirely of nasty, unyielding red clay. We finished early on Thursday and then had to drive way the ( Read more... ) -
i feel so superior
I have now been shipped off to the northwestern corner of Wisconsin. I am in Superior, which is located on the shore of a lake whose name that you can probably guess ( Read more... ) -
greetings from Stevens Point
Hi everybody. I am at a motel in lovely Stevens Point, Wisconsin. On Sunday I packed up all my stuff and drove down to my grandma's house in Corning. I left a bunch of my stuff there, and on Monday I began the long trip out to Wisconsin. It was awful. It rained all day Monday (of course). It was raining when I left Corning at noon. It was ( Read more... )
