Well, colour me pleasantly surprised! The Pointer Sisters aren’t just “I’m So Excited,” “The Neutron Dance,” and Pinball Number Count?
Check out the Sisters in rehearsal for a tv appearance in the 1970’s behind the cut. So hot!
Via MeFi.
Hilarious. This video was everywhere on the internet today and—lo and behold—the guy behind it is none other than Will O’Neil, an old internet friend of mine. Will and I hung out in real life once, but then I never heard from him again, presumably because I am so ragingly uncool.
Will appears to be [...]
Let a neighbouring cat in for regular visits. The end.
Sophie belongs to our downstairs neighbour and is one of those ultra-friendly runt cats like Orla, my old roommate Aine’s cat. Charlie didn’t really like Orla, and doesn’t really like Sophie for the same reason: they do not observe the rules of animal hierarchy where Charlie [...]

Near the end of a very long and strenuous six weeks of digging up an Iron Age Moabite site in the Jordanian desert, I asked my field supervisor if I could officially call myself an archaeologist. The answer was a fairly non-committal, “Sure, why not? Keep digging, habibiti.”
I’ve decided that if I can excavate a [...]
Final week of school: I am writing a paper for my museum studies class.
Just finished re-reading Duncan F. Cameron’s, “The Museum, a Temple or the Forum?,” an article that has influenced curators and museum professionals since 1971. In the article, he asks, what is a museum? It’s a harder question than you’d think.

Isn’t it great? I got it at Châtelet (717 Queen Street W), a shop specializing in French country and shabby-chic home decor. A tip of the chapeau to the saleswoman who directed me to it.
