No man it's cool, I love the Aten, don't hurt me.

For like two minutes the LJ headers were showing the Halloween "undead journal" art. That... was perplexing.

Um, anyway, I forget whatever I was going to post about now. This is going to be frickin awesome and _hannelore is going to come see it with me before I/we leave. The 18th dynasty is leet in so many ways. I love the naysayers who are always like "meh Tut was a minor king!". Minor, right, the politics surrounding his ascension, reign, and death were totally MINOR.

I have a cold again.

Wow, they had the King Tut exhibit at the De Young when I was in... I can't remember for sure; I think it was in junior high. Anyway, back in the Dark Ages as far as you're concerned. But my dad took me because I'd been a total archaeology junkie back in fifth and sixth grades, devouring every book in the Burlingame public library on the subject. (Yes, I was geeky like that.) At any rate, have a great time at the exhibit!

Our partner hotels offer a variety of exciting King Tut room packages some of which include VIP tickets and other special amenities.

Murder in your sleep, optional!

I saw that (or a very similar exhibition) at the O2 (the Millennium Dome) in Greenwich last year. It was excellent!

Mind you, I also saw the one they brought to the British Museum in 1973 or 74 (?), when I was a student - Mum and Dad and my younger sister came down and we left Dad watching cricket in the hotel (!) and queued for over an hour to get in; but that one had the real headpiece from the coffin, where this one's just got the 'coffinette'.

I saw the earlier exhibition in San Francisco, the crowning jewel in what was an AWESOME year of museum exhibitions. It was very crowded. But well worth it.

Give my respects to Lady Sekhmet for me, please. Thank you.
