Sooo if anyone still goes to this site, I think I am shifting over to a tumblr (gasp!) ... you can find me at http://recreationalanthropology.tumblr.com/

This is both in an effort to be hip and with it and also in an attempt to get blogging again without the pressure of 1000-word entries.  But.  Realistically.  I will probably be approximately as absent there as I have been here.

Still, worth a shot.

Also, I might be getting a secret Twitter.  Except someone stole my @name thing?  And I don't know how it works?

Okay.  CLOSING THIS CURTAIN but directing you to a new stage.

AAAAAAAAAAAAH

I am probably never going out again.

(Plus, it's the leekspin song!)

The Old Razzle Dazzle

Wooo I have really been enjoying this whole "no blogging" thing...although in my defense, February was pretty much a dead zone for me...

Anyway, speaking of defense, here's some dazzle camouflage.

And now I'm going back undercover.

Icicle Farm

 Kind of cool, kind of creepy...just don't walk beneath it.

...And I'm Back.

So! Hope everyone's new years have been progressing nicely...mine has been full of snow...but I've taken a good little January hiatus, and will be resuming here with the occasional post, starting with this quote:

“All truth is one. In this light may science and religion labor here together for the steady evolution of mankind from darkness to light; from prejudice to tolerance; from narrowness to broadmindedness.”

Fin.

Well...ta-da!

365 days (more or less) of blogging.  It was strange, it was scary, it was wonderful...hopefully you found something to interest you.

Anyway, I kind of lost track of what I was doing this whole blog thing for, and increasingly there have been times when it has been more of a chore than a pleasure, but when I told certain individuals over Christmas that I was shutting down RecAnth, those individuals got a little distraught, so I've agreed to post every so often, maybe once a week, or once a month, or whenever I come across an intriguing fact, or just when I'm feeling inspired.

And in the meantime I am going to come up with some arguably more worthwhile resolutions this time around, although I'm not going to say what they are (at the risk of my abandoning them next week).

So yes, feel free to check back whenever you like, or not, and have a very happy 2011!
