The End of an Era?

Well, as usual, I’ve been super busy. Work, research, paper writing and more work. But it’s all good. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to focus on this site, and it’s not a priority for me any more. So, I am probably not going to renew my web hosting package next month as it hasn’t been worth the time and expense, but I am keeping the domain name and I will most likely keep an email account through my service provider. The good news is I’m working on a new and exciting project! My next website is currently in development! I have decided that I no longer need a personal website (as I can always transfer my blog back to blogger.com if I really want to), so I’m developing a more ‘professional’ website:www.forensicanthropology.ca .

This new website will be focussed on my interests in the field of Forensic Anthropology, where I hope to work in the future. My goal is to create a site where people can learn about FA, and students and professionals can communicate and share ideas and knowledge. Perhaps one day, I can use this site as a professional site for my own FA consulting business, if I end up persuing advanced degrees. I’ve just purchased the domain and am in the process of developing the page, so it probably won’t be live for awhile. I’m hoping to include an interactive forum, perhaps a chat room, email newsletter/mailing list, community blog, bookstore, etc. So stay tuned! There won’t, however, be any personal blogs or writing as this new website is aimed towards professional and academic discussions as well as public education about the field of Forensic Anthropology.


About Me:

I am currently a full-time undergraduate student of Anthropology at the University of Victoria (3rd year) in beautiful Victoria, B.C. My areas of academic interest are: Bioarchaeology, Forensic Anthropology, Peopling of the New World, Prehistory of the Americas, South America, etc. Although I’m not planning on going forward much in Cultural Anthropology, I am also interested in Visual Anthropology (such as ethnophotography, video documentary, etc.). Other things that interest me are: dance, reading (especially thrillers and mystery books, like those written by Minette Walters and Kathy Reichs), yoga, photography, writing, etc.

In the future (when I grow up…), I would like to persue further education (either in Physical Anthropology/Bioarchaeology or Museum Studies), and work in a museum or as a lecturer, working on contract for the police as a Forensic Anthropologist. I also would love to do some freelance writing, including travel writing. Who knows, the possibilities are endless right now :)

Why “sauceykat”? Well, it’s a bit of a long story and an inside joke, but to make a long story short, my old roomie used to call me a “saucey kitten” and it all evolved from there…my lovely cover model (the background for this page and the main page) is my family cat, Taffy. Watch out, she can be a vicious creature! Her bite is MUCH worse than her hiss. Taffy has been a member of my family for over 15 years, and she currently resides with my mother and sister. I tried to kidnap her once, when I first moved out, but she was not impressed!

When I’m not at school, reading, or studying, I’m usually watching my favourite t.v. shows (such as Alias and Prison Break), hanging out with my friends, or traipsing around town taking pictures or people watching. Yeah, my life isn’t terribly exciting :) Family is very important to me, even though they drive me nuts, so I spend a fair bit of time at my Mom’s house, reminding her how great it was that I moved out at 18 years old ;-p
