Day 7: Ke$ha in the field

Today was largely transforming the Ke$ha CD to fit archaeological themes. very productive work. So far we have nailed down (badly) the first song.

The first of many.
That we hope to release.
Make our millions.
God knows we never will looking at rocks.

So far we have the following:
To the tune of Tick-Tock:

We wake up in the morning at 4am,
Put on our glassess,
Pack our bags,
Gonna hit the Fayum,
Before we leave,
Pack the truck with gear and ruck-sacks,
Coz when we leave for the field we aint coming back.

Were talkin,
Field boots on our toes (toes)
Kaki coloured clothes (clothes)
Second breakfast is bread loaves (loaves)

Dont stop,
Shoot in that rock,
Holy shit its getting hot,
Theodolite,
Jesus christ,
Stone tools all around (round)
oh
oh UHHH OHHH
Theodolite shut dowwwwnn.

Thats all we have so far... so uhh... yeah... we will be singing this for thanksgiving presentations tomorow, so will be working on finishing up this musical masterpiece, and will later be releasing this little gem to the world.

In other news we did actually do some work today.
4 transects nutted out (in double time), and then a walking outing to the lower K-Pits.
Afew paleolithic flakes around, a couple of tools and some bits of neolithic pottery.

Approaching the K-Pits is the 20m deep pit of death from where the locals had tried to mine for pharonic gold... sadly they dug through some of the best preserved neolithic deposits. sadness :(

In other news we decided on animal counterparts and radio call-signs for the crew today...

My animal was decided as a zebra... I dont even... Zebras are like... the retarded but adorable counterparts to the equine world. To me this seems like my team are telling me that im a retard, and that im also stripey...

As for the radio call-sign it was decided that I would be H-Kitty... Like hello-kitty... but gangsta...

Speaking of H-Kitty. the watch (refer to day 1) is holding up well... the diamontes act like some kind of disco-ball in the field... the strap is slowly becoming more archaeology looking, regressing into a kaki state from its origional baby pink.

OTHER NEWS: tomorow is thanksgiving and our first day off since hitting the field... this means three things...
1: we get to sleep in till 5am
2: we get to go on snazzy field trips
3: omg omg omg turkey for dinner

As its a night off it also means party ahoy and movies. But for now its downloading the days data dumps, processing them and then playing a couple of hours of egyptian TF2 pub...

All my experiences of egyptian TF2 so far have taught me that they treat the game like they treat real life... often wildly firing at absolutley nothing for hours on end, running in circles, then firing more guns into the air...


Yeah. Sunrise is a cool time out here.
