Hey, I don't want to step on my post of last night, which was number two in a (probably) three-part series of life in the archives. And I am really enjoying reading everyone's comments on both posts, telling about their own experiences. But I just wanted to break in for a moment to post that Fabulous (ex-)neighbor is arriving today for a weekend visit. She's popping in from *her* Exotic Research City to tour around with me. I really am feeling like I've gotten a bit lax about the archives, especially since I blew them off to spend yesterday at a semi-exclusive viewing at a archaeological lab where a team was meticulously analyzing the temporarily disinterred body of a high medieval monarch of my passing acquaintance. But some things - a dead monarch, a live friend -- are worth taking it easy for a few days.
Part 3 on Monday. Have a good weekend, y'all!
I am totally envious of visits with disinterred high medieval monarch. Say hi for me lol. And enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteAre they gonna try to sequence the monarch's genome? That would be fucking coolio!
So.. did he look good?
ReplyDeleteYeah--where are your digital photos of THAT little field trip? Sounds groovy.
ReplyDeleteHi all!
ReplyDeleteI do have one photo, a poor one taken of a live video image of the work on the Monarch going on in the next room. But I don't think I was supposed to, and I'm sure as hell not allowed to post it. Wish I could, though.
And CPP, they *are* doing some genetic work, mainly to determine whether x or y were descendants. It's nifty.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Monarch's feet were OFF.
