I just finished a 37 page paper on Phenomenology and Poetry. It was a hellish process, but I wanted to create a work that would inflict pain on those that have to read it.

Ha ha! I think it makes perfect sense 
Maybe in my next life I will update this regularly and be more social. Or, maybe in a few weeks.

It gets a little dry up in these parts. I never have time to put lotion on.

I saw Atwood Gaines speak at Santa Fe. His paper was good, but he speaks so softly that I could hardly hear him!
And the lotion thing is creepy!

Yes, I want to hear the Woody Gaines stories. I would guess I'll probably run into you sometime. AAA in Washington?
I have sources for such things as:
-Culture bound syndromes - "nervios" or variety of Korean ones
-Gender, Body, Technology, Modification, Media
-stigma
-first person accounts, patients & doctors, autobiography (I like to use some of that)
-Kleinman, Good and that crowd - much stuff
Other stuff too. Send me an email & tell me what you'd like.

Not much new happening.
The weather is finally nice.
I am busy.
I am currently suffering from a "poverty" of thought right now.

damnit, she stole my line....
poverty of thought, eh? that's spooky.
i edited because i wrote "Smooky" as opposed to "Spooky", and although "That's smooky" sounds cool, it's completely out of context.
as much as a made up word can be.

Have you ever had a moment when you suddenly realize that a part of your-self has changed and you cant seem to put a finger on what is different. Or, for some reason, you no longer recognize a part of yourself?

dude, i just read yr dating profile thing (i'm terribly bored), and i'm sorry to say, we're not right for one another. i think we should break up... it's not you, it's me.
I am still grading papers. It will never end. So far, 7 students are going to visit the Dean.
I am going to be teaching the Anthropology of Health and Healing this summer. Summer courses are cool, because they are shorter, more intense, and I can have office hours at a pub and get away with it. It is a quick way for a recluse...

you should put the smackdown on a student one day, just for the hell of it. just make it random or something.

i love office hours at the pub. theres alot to be said for the instant "friends" that come of it.
I am grading 240 ten page papers. Needless to say, it's not that fun.
Sometimes I drink beer when I grade papers. It is my way of grading on a curve. Some students ask, "will you mark our papers on a curve?" And I reply, "Only if I have been drinking." Ha, they think I'm joking.
My plagiarizer radar (plagdar) is at full power. 8%...

... they still cut and paste in college? what school is this and why didn't i go there.
i took a night class a few years back with a prof that has a serious dependency on alcohol (somthing that apatently runs high in the anthro deprt.) it was the best class ever, it was supposed to be about the americas and their economies in prehistoric times, but it was really about what beer tastes best at what site...i learned a great deal that semester.

that reminds me of George Carlin's
I, myself, have killed six people. All random, all undetected, no way to trace them to me. And, let me tell you, there's nothin' to it. It's a great feeling. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Aw, he's a comedian. He's just sayin' that stuff." Good. That's exactly what I want you to think.
OFF TO THE DEAN WITH YOU!
what class are you grading for?
Because of this entry, I too will have sleep problems. All it takes for me is the suggestion that I will not be able to sleep.
Spread the love, that's what i say

Bad attitude day.
Such a grim world:
Think of how smart or how much common sense the AVERAGE person has, then realize that half the population is dumber than they are.
Sometimes I am a negative bastard

i think i'll join you in your attitude today. theres nothing wrong with wallowing in one's own contempt and displeasure with the world.....wallow wallow wallow

All the self-proclaimed prophets dressed up to look like poets
Pretendin' to be martyrs that they're not
You can learn all their names
And engrain them on your brains
Memories so you can spout them off the top
Yo kill 'em all, and let God give 'em haircuts
The flood has begun, and no one has been paired up
So I'ma take a second and beckon the downfall
Of your so called civilized nation
Yo stop the sound now!

OK, I'll update. But, I will make you pay. Life has been non-existent, as I am overloaded with grading papers, 240 students x 10 pages each. I am working on three writing projects, have the responsibility to run a theory seminar, and the list goes on. I am currently hopped up on cold medication and caffeine. I caught myself thinking that if I had a...
