I have a bunch of stuff I need/wanted to do today, and I'm already well behind because bees have convinced me that the best way to spend my day was eating half a bag of Hershey's Special Dark chocolate truffles (heaven) and watching some justice league. However, my brain is also full of School, among other things.

I need to write a paper for my Ship class. It really has to be at least vaguely ship oriented. i am thinking of looking a ships and spatial divisions. From a social perspective, it seems like most people are happy enough to say that people with higher status got more and better located space. I *don't* know that anyone has published much on that yet, though. i think it is just one of those things that is taken for granted. however I think it could be possible to go beyond this, and look at what other sorts of things are evident. Who has the easy access to the cargo, for example, and why is this. I need to pick a period, and probably focus on a type, or at last a specific function, of ship. It needs to be a ship type of which there are some archaeological examples, too, so I can look at excavation data and so forth - it is an archaeology class, afterall, not just a ship one :p I just need to look into things a bit more and see if there will be more to say than the above, and that ships are really not about people, and neither is ship design. I'll have to look and see what has been published. Ship as living/working space versus ship as tool.


...Ahh fuck I just typed a bunch more shit and then deleted it somehow. Grr >:[=

I also need to decide on a ship to draft for the drafting class. I think I'll go with a sloop, for various reasons I don't feel like repeating :p

Alright, now that I have some of those ideas down, I am going to go shower and buy groceries and a tea kettle :)
