Sundays are great...

Sundays are great because...


1} Today I visited the Getty museum and it is so close to school that I feel like I'll be spending a lot more time there.

This is the view from the East Terrace. You can see UCLA from there.  :)

2} i love watching movies on Sundays. I feel like movies are infinitley better on Sundays. Especially watching romantic movies. <3


After I got home from the Getty I packed my overnight bag and drove home. When I got home I flipped through the channels on the TV and Waitress was on.

Nathan Fillion makes my heart skip a beat!








 There is something so calming about Sundays. Its a whole new week and new possibilities.

I hope all of you have a splendid week!

My feelings on the current change in the AAA mission statement.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/10/science/10anthropology.html?_r=2

After reading the above New York times article and the AAA website these are my introductory feelings. I'm not pretending on being an expert but this is how I feel about this development.

As I hope to call myself an Anthropologist one day, this new statement greatly hinders and halts avenues to scholarship and research. The dropping of the word science only encourages the divide between biological and social anthropology. When as Anthropologists we should stand together in our research  and this change only bends its compassion to some people who don't even respect accepted Anthropological theory. The point is by changing the mission statement because some professionals are stubborn and narrow minded and because of the religious pressure to drop the debate on evolution it is a slap in the face to very definition of Anthropology. The AAA should not back down to these bullies because that's who they are. Science doesn't and shouldn't carry the fear or connotation that the AAA obviously feels it does. I am afraid of this. I am afraid of where this might lead and I am afraid that because of the current board members, Anthropology and what its mission statement is to ME will drastically change the meaning of something I am dearly and whole heartily passionate about. I encourage anybody compassionate to my feelings or similar feelings to speak out. Voice your concerns, show that in America, Anthropology is a respected science and field of knowledge. We are NOT a tree with one branch, but we have 4 beautiful strong branches that deserve attention.

This statement doesn't fix or change anything. If we feel like there is no change and that they find science highly crucial then why the need for change in the first place?

So it goes..

So it goes... life is totally out of your hands sometimes. Once in a while you have to just throw up the white flag and surrender to the spin of the earth and let the day take you.
Remedies to ease the frustration of dry swallowing of your pride could be to drink heavy amounts of alcohol (works but not recommended), watching YouTube videos till your eyes water from the strain of the computer screen (you have watchers remorse), or to just write it all out. Just make every word bleed a little more till your clean. If you want to be miss prissy, then go do your yoga* class and meditate.

This whole week has been one large salute to the white flag. Monday was the beginning of the Winter quarter and Monday night was a night I became very friendly with the toilet bowl. I don't know what caused it but all night till 5am I was sick. I also had a fever and some VERY strange fever dreams.**

Tuesday should be called Tylenol Tuesday because my body finally gave in and I was able to actually lay down and sleep a little. I skipped class only feeling 1/2 bad about missing the first meeting and watched a whole lot of Netflix. My body ached all over. I mean the physical exertion I put out on Monday had to equal a P90X workout. My lower back was killing me since all I did was sit up right all night and every nerve in my body felt so sensitive. I took a bunch of Tylenol though and that seemed to edge the pain as well as the Princess Bride. I wish my Grandpa would read to me...Wuv Truwe Wuv...

When I awoke on Wednesday I felt like a whole new woman. I watched Eat, Pray, Love felt inspired to sing and dance and travel and EAT. I said up far too late and bought many things on Amazon like this...

I needed a new one. Its the new year!

Things began to crumble just a little bit today. I'm seeing a movie at the Hammer museum tonight and I'm supposed to go to some little class thing tomorrow, but work called and rearranged my whole day basically. I'm annoyed but so it goes... I can't control them, and I choose for them to control me. If I didn't want them too then I wouldn't but at this point I just have to say whatever. Move on.

Now I'm sitting here peering out my living room window at school. Our window is sort of right in the middle of everything and so I feel like that nosy neighbor who watches everybody, but I also have a great view of the sky changing colors, moving on just like I need to.  My toes are cold so I think I'm going to put some socks on before the movie. 

Till next time sugars...

Today I heard: Elton Johns, "A little love." 3 stars

Today I tasted: My first Palmier of the quarter...oh love its so sweet.

*I shouldn't bash yoga, I really like it but I already use yoga as a form of surrender to the treadmill. That machine HATES me.

 **one included Gerard Butler and scuba diving...it made me sea sick, then I woke up and got sick.
