Pretty line, but they’re being deceived by Armida! It’s a traaaap :o

What Lara and Indy and the others don’t know is that archaeology is not about things, it’s about people.
The truth about archaeology.

Ah! Yes, that’s the goal! Me and some of my friends are doing it! I have to get ready, but I’m starting to think that eating all the time isn’t the right exercise! It’s on March 31st. Countdown! :)

Beauty and the Beast
I just got back from watching it and I love it. I’d waited 20 years to see it in theaters again and it was glorious!
I was too excited and wound up going by myself, hah
There were 4 other people in the theater, paired into couples, but ya know, no big deal. It’s a Monday night, not too many people. I must have a strong emotional connection to that movie ‘cause I was just...
My seemingly useless knowledge...
…sometimes isn’t so useless!
I was watching Family Feud earlier with my family and they were doing that $20,000 challenge where they answer a series of questions in less than 30 seconds. Well, one of the questions was to name a war that lasted a long time.
So I responded with the Hundred Years War because it lasted like 116 years. (Note: my typical problem with the show is that it...

– Gabriel Garcia Marquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
Very poetic and pretty if taken slightly from the context. The characters referred to are lovers who don’t yet know that they are aunt and nephew. This is kind of a messed up book. Relatives falling in love with one another and...

“I am not the same, Harry.”
“Yes, you are the same. I wonder what the rest of your life will be. Don’t spoil it by renunciations. At present you are a perfect type. Don’t make yourself incomplete. You are quite flawless now. You need not shake your head: you know you are. Besides, Dorian, don’t…
Oh the places I go!
Aka, my week.
Aka museum adventures.
Wednesday was good, I went to the Homestead Museum (the one I’d had the volunteer-ship interview for). It went well, the interviewer liked me well enough and said it’s a plus that I’m bilingual, but my current work schedule would be a deterrant if I were to be a tour guide. However, I could be a museum teacher for fourth grade classes that...

Other museos, go ahead and apply, too, worth a shot!
