Or she could try to combine the two (or three if you count Joss) and also submit for "The Apocalypse and Disaster in Culture" Actually, that could be an interesting paper -- how the apocalypse is represented in popular culture in various media. (and for the record, I still vote 'apocalypti')

Sounds good, ita, though it seems your title ("Queering the Subtext") might not quite go with that--they're not so much queering the subtext as the...text? Along the "subtext is rapidly becoming text" idea?

If she likes mongo cinnamon rolls or green chile huevos rancheros, she has to breakfast/brunch at Frontier. And Eat All The Hatch Green Chile. It's far enough north, they take the christmas chile seriously (why, I don't know) but no point in going to NM for the red which you can get anywhere ok. Green is the business. Though frankly, my one true love is southern NM cookery.

Jesusfuck my forearms are pissed. And I forgot to pick up a new heat pack and the blister is newly draining from the last one's demise.

Also, still love Cosmos. Finally was able to watch last week's. Because I was my father's unofficial lab rat/teaching assistant through many many years of astro 101 through grad classes, I must admit to not learning much new. But the delivery and content is gold and unapologetic and I love it.

You could generate more blather by discussing how male privilege is undermined. You might go on about the subaltern, though that particular meme is not as fashionable these days as it once was.

Still without internet at home. How am I to get my Vikings without Hulu? So annoying.

I spent the whole day packing boxes at my sister's apartment. About 20 boxes went to Council Thrift, mostly books but also some glassware. Also put together 7 more boxes of first editions to give to the friend who collects and sells books. I am beat. Plus no brain. Not enough brain to help with the dummy abstract, sorry.

That's exhausting stuff, Burrell.

I've been sorting my boss's magazine collection in preparation for donating them to a college theatre department. He had Lighting Dimensions dating back to 1978!

I just finished my taxes with two days to spare!

All the books in my mom's place fit into one small box. (She traded away most of the ones she had read, but her reading really slowed down in the last year because of her health.)

Timelies all!

Nice and warm today. Things are supposed to cool down a bit by the end of the week.(Just in time for my folks' visit.)

I need to do my taxes and run three miles today (and do some laundry and wash some dishes, of course), but my internal organs are all complain-y. Bah.
