I worked on a report for a few hours, then went up to Racine for a birthday party for [livejournal.com profile] foreign_legion. I saw a number of people there I don't see often, had good food made largely by Der Zwerg, and had a fun time talking and playing board games.

After getting back, [livejournal.com profile] akreaveter and my dad and I all watched the first Indiana Jones movie as part of my plan to indoctrinate my brother. That was a really good time both because I love introducing people to movies I really like (there aren't very many!), and because of the greatly expanded historical and professional context I have to put the movie inside of since the last time I watched it. It must have been about ten years or so.

Both as an aspiring anthropologist and simply as a responsible adult, I'm kind of horrified at some of the stuff Jones does in the name of protecting pieces of history. I guess that kid of stuff was often what passed for archaeology in the early days, but as Indy ran out of that temple with the golden idol, I looked over at Tim and said "Holy crap. Indiana Jones is just a looter."

It feels so good to have a little free time....
