not writing much at the moment

because of a chain of internet-blocking events booted me off the net in the last month. report, presentation, other report, broken cable modem etc.
am currently back in norway, writing up my first-year report, wading through my brother's dvd-collection and bracing myself psychologically for the annual national meeting of the reindeer herder federation which I'll be attending in mid-june. [in a professional capacity! argh.]
in early july heading up to the varanger/polmak region in eastern finnmark for the start of fieldwork proper. initial accomodation is a log cabin in the middle of the tundra 45 minutes from nowhere with, importantly, an internet connection. weird but useful. as winter descends I'll be trying to locate something closer to the slaughtering sites, the primary fieldwork location.
14 months later I aim to be finished...
finnmark a strange name when it's neither finland or denmark, but then (looking at the map) you'll be, what, 100km or less from finland and from russia, no? keep blogging, and add photos? and enjoy.
