There's a West Wing episode where Leo tells Bartlett, "You're going to open your mouth and lift houses off the ground. Whole houses, clear off the ground." This blog used to be about writing a dissertation -- although I'm not sure it was ever really about that. But now it's about my life as a brand new assistant professor, still hoping to lift whole houses off the ground. It's academy meets Ab.
I'm a little miffed at anthropologists lately! Or maybe I'm miffed at myself for not being an anthropologist. Anyway, I was in a situation the other day where someone was asking me questions I couldn't answer because I'm not an anthropologist, and it made me extremely uncomfortable. I should have just said, "Hey, what do you think I am, an anthropologist?" but it didn't occur to me at the time.

I'm going to try to work that into the conversation tonight: "Hey, what do you think I am, an anthropologist?" I'll let you know how it goes.
My monster name claims that I abduct zillionaires. That would be a useful skill to have. I could build a new building for my museum.
That WOULD be a useful skill to have. Much more than beheading anthropologists. I mean, not much benefit there. At least not for me.
