About myself


It appears to be customary to write a brief intro blurb on one's blog, so why break the tradition.

I'm Alex, a third year anthropology student. 

I went to UVic intending to take a degree in engineering, but a glance at a calc textbook had me quickly changing departments to humanities. I've now essentially committed myself to anthropology though I dabble in medieval studies and history on the side. Since I have no real post grad ambitions, it's probable that I will go for a second degree after this one (don't ask in what).

Archaeology is my favorite subfield of anth, and dead people are exciting, so taking the class "Archaeology of Death" (which this blog is for) seemed like a no brainer.

Some of my interests include:
Heavy Metal, Quiche, Coffee, Fantasy Novels, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and any series ever put out by BBC (Just caught up with Sherlock, which is excellent).

  1. Loved Sherlock! You've caught up, you say? What are your thoughts on his death and the scenes surrounding that?

  2. I twisted my brain a bit too much on that one. I'm certain his method of survival involves Molly and his phone call to John. Beyond that, I have no clue.
    My prediction is that Sherlock will use his survival from the very permanent state of death to regain his credibility, probably having planned it long in advance.
