I've just returned from the Lindow Man exhibition and have to express my complete displeasure as to how they've designed the display. Put simply, its total balls. The theory behind it actually quite sound: everybody experiences the world - in this case, a bog body - differently. My reading/understanding of Lindow man as an archaeologist would not ( Read more... )

Suppose i'd better dust off the ol' LiveJournal account before it starts developing a corpse stench. Things are pottering along nicely at the moment, although, as is the lot of someone who flits between departments like some sort of vagrant knowledge-whore, the good people at the Postgrad Office somehow forgot to tell me that i have my Master ( Read more... )

Hmm, according the to the good souls at IGN, Joss Whedon is in the process of creating a new TV show called Dollhouse with Eliza Dukshu as the lead. If you want to stick a facile tag on things, its gonna be a kind of cross between Alias and Quantam Leap, which doesnt sound half bad (saying that, two of my favourite foods are chicken and ( Read more... )

Right. I've chosen my course units for this coming year. Time will tell, but i may have been a wee bit adventurous in choosing 3 modules for the first semester (balanced out by 1 in semester 2). Though each course is only assessed via one, 5,000 word essay due circa mid-january, i'll nonetheless just be happy if i haven't gone completely insane by ( Read more... )

Just realised its been aaages since i posted on here. Can't really say that i've been up to much, because truth be told i think the muscles in my legs have atrophied through lack of anything that even approaches work. Anyways, s'pose the main cause for celebration is the fact that i've been awarded a full award by the AHRC. Apart from getting a £9, ( Read more... )

Graduation t'were fun. Loved the mortarboard tassel. Lots of photos. A good few drinks and some emotional goodbyes. Bad Chinese Buffet. Shit music in the Tiger Lounge. More beer. Sleeps.
