Phones...our home phone has not stopped ringing all day. If it's not random annoying relatives calling, it's telemarketers...thank goodness we have an answering machine.

Tell me about it. rolleyes
I'm back up at uni now though. Term four starts tomorrow. Four weeks of lectures, one week for SWOT VAC and then two weeks of exams before I move back home.

I hope so. I just hope he puts into consideration the fact that my partner for one of the most heavily weighted components was utterly hopeless.

*gasp* Discovery's having a show on a dude getting mummified. classified_jet So watching it. Unless I get distracted by my pretties. I've been buying wire to make stuff. Well the original idea was to use the wire to make beaded danglelies. And I saw Raven's wire hammers. And it made me want to make wire ankhs. And I got searching and want to make ear cuffs like this.

This is one of those moments where I wish I had pay tv. To the boyfriend! I'll ask him ever so nicely to record it for me...hopefully it's shown in Australia... sweatdrop
Also, that ear wrap looks awesome. I have just recently re-discovered the joys of ear cuffs. ^^

I was over at Zane's watching it. Though I was finishing homework and got distracted by deviantart so we started half way through. If its not showing in Australia you can watch some of the clips here. And I can fill you in on the ending. I've never gotten my ear pierced. I hate needles (Zane don't you say anything). So I thought it would be cool if I could make something that I could still wear on my ears since I'm wearing my hair back more often now that I'm growing it out again. I kinda missed my long hair.

Cool. My boyfriend didn't get to record it in time so I'm a litle dissapointed. But how did it go?
I had my ears pierced when I was almost 3. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

What I saw they used a lot of natron (well as close to natron as they could since its illegal to take natron out of Egypt) because they found salt (I think that's what they said) in the bodies of the mummies. So they put the guy in a natron bath for I think it was three weeks. Maybe it was five. And then dried him out for a couple weeks. Then after wrapping him in linen they left him for a while and unwrapped a foot, hand, and head to see if they had stopped decomposition of the body. And they did! But they're going to keep the body to keep watching it to make sure they did actually replicate the mummification process.
And I don't know if you watched the clips or not but one of them was interesting. How they think the Egyptians actually left the brain in the body.
My mom didn't like the idea of piercing our ears as kids. And I don't know if she's really for or against it because she had gotten her ears pierced but they messed up the one so it would get infected a lot and she just let them close up.

Oh that's cool. I'm sure the guy would have been happy to know they were successful.
Yes, I saw the clip about the brain. Perhaps there were certain circumstances or trends in mummification processes that led to the brain either being left in or taken out?
That's fair enough about the piercings. Mum just got mine pierced because that's what she and my grandmother had done to them.

That was something I was going to look into to see if anyone else had mentioned it.
And I'm sure he would have been. I think they said he specifically donated his body for that.
