The cat says "meow", the dog says "rahn rahn".

Hey. I was just burned out for a while - especially since i hit this patch where it seemed like every other edit was a correction of one particualar editors, edits. :-) but i'm back now. ready to clean up some of teh fun women's stuff after a full year of ignoring the republicans and their antics.

How did the finals/writing go? I know ADK got his PhD, but not sure where you stand. you were writing your dissertation, i think, when you were absent.

Some burnout here too -- I didn't stop but my edit count is definitely down.

Still haven't finished the diss, but that's okay because a lot of it needs to be rewritten due to a change in concentration. I can't wait.

Also, I hope your dog isn't related to Otto.

"change in concentration?" as in your field specifically, or just the dissertation?

I have this thing for animal sounds. I want to write a book about how all the animals talk around teh world! it still amuses me how differently we hear/reproduce basic animal sounds.

never heard a bird "tweet tweet" much less "chirp" in my life. heheh

Same department, but what I'm doing now is based more in cognitive anthropology.

That's my kind of field.
