He's coming to Philadelphia (The Barnes & Noble on 18th and Walnut) on Thursday, at 7:30 PM, for a book signing and talk.

Anyone want to come with me?

Oh-em-gee! (Shiny shiny shiny excavation of shinyness!)

They're excavating in January!!!! And there are mikvahs there!!!!!!!!!! Mikvahs! Shiny, shiny mikvahs!! Thesisy mikvahs!!!!!!!!!!! The kind that I could actually get up close to and photograph for figures in my thesis!!!

I wonder if they're looking for any staff. And if I could get paid/dig for free. How would I go about finding this out? (Maybe I should just ask Ben at our thesis meeting on Wednesday...)

I want to dig! (I'm going crazy. If it weren't for the fact that it's on Fridays and Saturdays I would volunteer for Dr. Schuyler's dig. Not even for credit, just to be able to dig again.) And my patiche should be coming some time this week. I'll check Hillel this afternoon.

*Edit* I'm looking at the application form, and one of the options for accomodations is bringing your own tent. Maybe that will make it mostly free. Uncomfortable, yes, but the free-ness is worth it. And I could probably just shower in other people's rooms.

Glasses vs. Contacts

For a while I've been debating whether to continue wearing glasses regularly or to go back to contacts.

For now, the decision has been made for me.

This morning as I was cleaning my glasses, one of the lenses came out.

The lens is still fine, and it was just the screw holding that part of the frame together popped out. I could probably fix it myself with a small enough screw-driver. Except that I can't find the screw.

If I haven't found it by tomorrow I'll probably take the glasses to get repaired somewhere.

I also found out that my parents finally got the last check of my 3 grants. So now they're all reembursed.

Can anyone guess what my title is referencing?
