Bye SG land. I decided not to renew, as I will be living at my cabin and really won't have access very often. Then it is off to Ghana for fieldwork. I will probably keep my Myspace page updated occasionally. Maybe one day I will come back.
I'm pretty excited. I just had an article accepted for publication in the journal "Transcultural Psychiatry." I'm making time to have a few beers tonight.

I sent you an incoherent email, by the way

congrats thats a pretty big deal 
Back from my travels to D.C., London, and Ghana. It was a good, but exhausting trip. Maybe I'll post some photos later.
In Accra Ghana. It is hot and sweaty. But it is damn nice to be here and be warm.
I am a slacker. The past few months have been so busy that SG world and socializing has been neglected, unfortunately. I am off to London then Africa next week (for a month) to set up my fieldwork which will commence in September if my funding works out.

I just got back from spending a week in Vancouver. The place restored my belief in Canada. Vancouver is quite possibly one of the best cities I have spent time in. The food was wonderful, as each night we picked a different ethnic restaurant and managed to cover most of the globe. Coming back to Edmonton after such a wonderful trip makes it hard to...

Long time no hello.
Hello.
Hello.
I have to write two letters of recommendation for a student that I hardly know. The only material I have is that he was a good student and a pretty cool guy. I'll have to come up with some flattering metaphors that will, of course, seem very obvious that I had to pull them out of my ass.

He's a really great old guy.

I just caught the last part of the lunar eclipse that occured this morning.
There is some sort of, dare I say, "universial," sense of awe when us humans view eclipses. I often wonder if the same feeling I have when viewing an eclipse is the feeling that my ancestors from long ago experienced.

No my job is all good.
It isn't bothering me at all.

Things sure are different around here these days. Much has changed since I decided to come back.
For one, I am a believer that if you increase the number of widgets in circulation, the value and quality of the widget will decrease. I am sure you all catch my point here. Quantity is not quality.

I suppose I will make my return to posting and the SG world with a rant on Canada. Yes, the pressure has been building. A quick disclaimer: Some Canadian's are very cool and the mountains would kick more ass if I could actually afford to get to them (4 hours away and close to $4USD for a gallon of gas kills).

I've not been around much but always take the time to catch up on your journals. Thank you for writing things that are worth reading. It's wonderful to find someone with insight. Thanks for not being a sheep.
