My friend, Jeanette, asked me what creative thing I am doing this week.
A: "Trying to figure out my life."
I decided to start a scrapbook (you know, the old fashioned kind where you actually tear something out and glue it into a book) --a journal of ideas, trying to zero in on what my master's thesis for anthropology should be. Here is an article Lars gave me about Yo Yo Ma, who has an anthropology degree.
So, I'm gathering ideas. Trevor forwarded an article on a study about smiling to me. Very interesting because I am reading a book, Doing Anthropology in Consumer Research, which warns that emotions are not universal.
Other inspirations, an article on anthropology and the humanities from an entry level cultural anthropology class, random ideas, and some of my favorite museums. Maybe I'll share those in another post.
So, everyone, expect I will pursue this conversation with you.... I love getting other perspectives. I have a feeling this is the fun part.
