Now: sweet delicious sleep!

Tomorow:
wake up ~8:30/9, get dressed, have some tasty bread, shamble down to post office, via library.
Come home and flop, look over paper so far and outline what's left to do (~5 more pages)
Go to Maria's for 11 to help her move stuff until at least 1.
come home, have lunch(?)
work on paper, write at least two more pages, or bust!

Sweet delicious sleep!

I woke up late. My power flickered and reset my clock. I got up around 9:30 and made it to the postoffice and back in an hour. Then I wrent and helped Maria move a piano. Crazymadness.

I have received almost all the packages I was expecting, which is good. I am waitng on one more, for Arthur. However I am still waiting on some important non-package mails. And I am still really tired, both from moving, for poor sleeping patterns, and god knows what else. So I am going to take a nap. And then, I am going to work work work on these papers. whee! But I now have a lot of Christmas shopping done, so, yay!

I just don't know what to do, hmm. I have written most of my paper, and I am now down to the part describing my own analysis. And I am finding that I...lack conviction? I am not sure how useful my analysis is. I can see a couple of different way of doing it, and I don't know which is better. But this is up to me: it is the whole point of my undertaking this excercise.
I am not sure whether or not I want to separate drinking materials from eating stuff. On one hand, drinking was a well documented aspect of pirate social life. On the other hand, I'm not sure where to draw theline between some drinking related paraphenelia. For example, mny site has no cups of any kind. I kind of think they were drinking out of bowls, and that this is the reason that bowls dominate the assemblage of udentifiable ceramic forms... Or really of all artifact forms. They could have been drinking out of wooden cups, I suppose, but I'm tempted to say bowls just served as a multi-functional vessel type :) Hell, what can't you put in a bowl? ^-^

I think I will combine them but make sub-categories. That seems like a reasonable answer :p
