..anthropologists..

"Nancy just sent me the blog...and i got news for you.
this is serious. very. sit down and relax.
because, i hate to break it to you, but....
you're turning into a friggin' anthropologist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chapter headings with ethnic names? done.
pretty pictures of "the field"? done.
deep admiration for the native rites? also done.
weird foods, resourceful technologies and striking cultural differences? also done!
profound feelings of self-consciousness and, mostly, self-inappropriateness (no idea what the hell you're doing there and why people are being so nice to you)? of course!
welcome darling...."
