Yeah, I saw this one coming

You scored as atheism. You are... an atheist, though you probably already knew this. Also, you probably have several people praying daily for your soul.

Instead of simply being "nonreligious," atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God.

I love how Satanism better suits me then the almost all of the worlds largest religions, the main exemption being that of Buddhism. It just goes to show that a degree in religious studies doesn't have to coincide with strong religious beliefs.

My sentiments exactly

It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, and incumbency.

Google Earth

As if google hasn't created enough wonderful shit (gmail, google news, blogger, picasa, not to mention that I have my own personalized google page for my home page), I've recently become obsessed with Google Earth. I even created a profile in the google earth community so I can create my own posts to share with the world. I've already done three. I think it also doesn't hurt my addiction that I am using g.e. to get a better idea of Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, and London since I will be traveling to all these wonderful cities in October (at least I hope we do).

Bushism: What a fucking moron.

My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important reason. It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific.

Since I'm in such a bitchy mood


If you are a 7-11 convienience store and you have a sign by the cigarettes that says "Buy one Get one free. Turkish Camel Blends." Then you should be selling them at that price damn it. AND you're fucking employees should know what the sign fucking says, and not stare blankly at me and the area where I am pointing to where the sign is located. There should be at least one damn employee at the store who can if not read English at least be able to understand it when spoken to them. Grrr....

Which car's owner do you think would call the police to complain that someone was parking in their space?

If you guessed the white Jetta on the right you would be wrong. That is my baby's new car, and last night we received a visit from the police at about one in the morning.

But I should start from the beginning.

My darling has grown more and more annoyed by the ridiculous parking job of our bitchy and horribly ugly neighbor Patricia. So he started leaving notes (polite ones at that, which is a bit surprising considering how upset my babe was becoming) which asked her to please be considerate and park in her own space. So yesterday he left her a note, which she just stuck back in our door. When I discovered this fact I went and put it back on her car. This led to a pretty amusing and grammatically flawed note from our neighbor which reads as follows:

Please
stop to
note in my
car and can
I will call the
police again soon
one time ok!

So when my babe parked last night he decided he was no longer going to park as far to the right as he can. (Which we had been doing since space is so tight and we try to be nice.) He was fed up and understandably so. So I was heading to bed when I noticed she was just arriving home. Not long afterwards our buzzer went off, but it was late and we weren't going to answer it. We knew it must be her but didn't want to deal with the raving bitch who can't communicate. A little bit later there was some loud banging on our door which we also ignored. The buzzer went off again at least one more time before my darling got curious and went to see what was going on. It was at this point that he saw that the police had arrived. At this point the cop hadn't seen how our car was parked, but when he said he was there because we were parking in her space Patrick took him downstairs to see how we were parked. It was at this point that the cop said oh you are in your space, she just can't drive.

The whole thing was annoying and pointless. She woke up half the building being such a bitch. Apparently she was pounding on people's doors asking them to call the police. The people above us in reply closed the door on her face because they know what a grotesquely annoying and ugly funtwad she is. I mean they have to live next to her. Anyways, I suppose I have vented enough. I just wish the bitch would die already, preferably in some extremely painful and embarrassing way. Ok, I feel better now. Posted by Picasa

Bushism

The only things that I can tell you is that every case I have reviewed I have been comfortable with the innocence or guilt of the person that I've looked at. I do not believe we've put a guilty ... I mean innocent person to death in the state of Texas.

Bushism

It's going to require numerous IRA agents.

Quick as Butter



Last night at Butter there was in addition to the hottest dj around an older man perched on a pedestal for what I can only imagine to be the entire evening. I believe his name was Jack something-or-other.

I Love DRC


I saw the absolute best dj last night with a couple of friends at this bar in sf called Butter. It rocked. I heart dj DRC.

A sad day for anthropology

(I'm basically stealing this article from today's Daily Cal. It was written by Kaitlin Anderson)

Noted UC Berkeley professor of anthropology George Foster, known as the founder of modern medical anthropology, died May 18th at the age of 92.

Foster wrote more than 21 books and is recognized for his research on peasant societies and the creation of methodology for longterm research in ethnography.

"He was one of Berkeley's most important anthropologists and (was) very modest," said Ira Jackins, research anthropologist at the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology. "He was not very egotistical at all."

A UC Berkeley professor since 1953, Foster wrote several important articles on the concept of "limited good." He also studied hot-cold concepts regarding structural properties of food, illness and medical plants.

His body of work includes historical reconstruction, peasnat economy and pottery and technology with a special interest in studying cultures without written language. He approached many of his projects from the perspective of economic development and public health.

Foster spent 18 months during 1945 and 1946 on fieldwork in Tzintzuntzan, Mexico for the Smithsonian's Institute of Social Anthropology. He returned to Tzintzuntzan yearly for more than 40 years to contiune his research.

It is this kind of dedication that made Foster an important American anthropologist, Jacknis said.

"He was an old-fashioned anthropologist,"she said. "They don't really make them like that anymore. Berkeley was very lucky to have him."

Foster served two terms as chair of the UC BErkeley anthropology department. He also spent two years as director of the Phoebe Hearst Museum, during the planning of Kroeber Hall, actively involving himself in its development.

Following his retirement in 1979 and up to the week before his death, Foster made weekly trips to the campus to meet with students and faculty.

Born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 1913, Foster earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Northwestern University in 1935 and a doctorate from UC Berkeley in 1941.

Foster served as president of the American Anthropology Association. He was recipient of several academic awards.

Colleagues said Foster made great contributions in subjects of personal interest.

"I was impressed with him for the things he wasn't famous for," said Jacknis. "He wasn't a specialist in pottery, but he wrote several very good aritcles about it."

Foster is survived by his son, Jeremy of Basalt, Colo., daughter Melissa Bowerman of the Netherlands, five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.


The author of this article fails to mention that in 1997 George Foster and his wife Mary, an intellectual powerhouse in her own right, were honored by having UC Berkeley's anthropology library named after them.

On April 16, 1997, in honor of two pillars of the anthropology department and of American anthropology, the branch library was named the George and Mary Foster Anthropology Library. George Foster, 83, a Berkeley professor emeritus of anthropology, has made important contributions for more than 55 years to a vast array of anthropological subjects including ethnography and field work, historical reconstruction, medical anthropology, peasant studies and pottery analysis. A Berkeley alumnus, he helped found the joint program in medical anthropology in 1975 and has written more than 20 books and 100 articles. The library's holdings include a copy of Foster's published PhD dissertation with an inscription on it to Kroeber, his dissertation adviser. Mary Foster, 82, who received her doctorate in linguistics from Berkeley in 1965, has written some 23 scholarly articles and is an activist in the international peace movement. The research library has some 80,000 volumes and is only one of three anthropology libraries in the country at a research university, said anthropology librarian Suzanne Calpestri.
