Back in September I took a week off and enrolled in an Archaeological Field School in Popham, Maine. I finally got the pictures organized, so here goes. There are a lot of them in this post so there is your fair warning.

I saw an ad this summer in Archaeology magazine for a field school at the site of the first English colony in New England. I've always wanted to do one of these and this one was taking place only an hour and a half away. Most people have heard of the Jamestown settlement but few know that there were two expeditions sent out that year: Jamestown and Popham, Maine. The Maine colony shipped out late from England and for various reasons, failed. I won't bore you with the details unless you want them, but suffice to say about 15 months into the colony they packed up their gear, weapons, cannons and goodies and burned the rest of the fort so that neither the French nor the Spanish could use it.

since ive never posted IM logs here before (i dont think) and this made me laugh a lot.

For the last two hours I've been really into the song "Dark Moon" by Bonnie Guitar. I guess Elvis did this song... and some other people, but I don't know if I've ever heard it before. It's the kind of song where you feel like you've heard it even if you haven't. I feel that way about a lot of songs. Then again, maybe that's because I have in fact heard them before. IN ANOTHER LIFE. WHOA.
Now what kind of name is Bonnie Guitar anyway? I don't know, but I'll be seeing about her other songs.
In this one she sings how I like to sing, with almost too much vibrato, a style which was basically abandoned by 1957, when this song was recorded.
In my head I can see the notes floating down the staff like feathers when she sings "away up high in the sky, tell me why, tell me why you've lost your splendor?"
I can't explain that but it makes sense in my head.
I want to record this song through a telephone onto a tape far away and then accompany it with harmonium organ, guitar effects and distracting static.
I want to sing it as a duet with Bing Crosby a cappella.
I guess I'll just listen to it one more time.



Dark moon, a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon, what is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love

Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
Dark Moon (repeat)"

If I make a time capsule to send to the future, I'm going to put an old cookbook into it.
Future generations will be amazed at the primitive ingredients and the complicated methods used during our lifetime.
They will only cook with the recipes provided for free by Kraft Foods, as seen in Kraft Food and Family Magazine. Everything will be made with branded and pre-processed ingredients available from Kraft Foods.
Kraft foods will have the monopoly on all raw food ingredients in the world.
Hopefully after Kraft corners the entire food market, they will branch out into medicine. They can start by taking control over vaccinations and medications. This will put our bodies into a harmonious regimen of Kraft products, exclusi. We'll be Kraft at the genomic level.
I for one am very excited to partake in this initiative. I think you too should take interest in a brighter future. Start by signing up for your free subscription to Food & Family.
Allow me to share just a few of the recipes you can be using to enrich your lives.
Get involved; join the campaign; join the revolution. Or just do nothing, because the Kraft initiative shall not fail.

Wow, just look at how Kraft have adapted the best of the Latin flavor, without the pestilence! I don't know about you, but my belly's growlin. I'm going to go partake in some progressive food products.

I had to move this month, so I missed Halloween. I'm pissed. This will be the first time in at least ten years that I didn't dress up or go to any parties. I was too busy trying to get all the shit from my old house into my new house. It sucked.

Fuck you, Halloween! That's all for now.
