syntaxofthingsHey guys! It's been a while. I've been so stressed out about that art class. It got so bad that I had to withdraw from the course. Now that that's over I can spend all my time on the school stuff that's actually *important* to me. And watching TV. I've been bitten by the Stargate SG-1 bug. (I switch from old TV show to old TV show like nobody's business.) I don't even know why. It's just amusing and I watch two or three episodes at a time and knit! I missed knitting in the last while. And writing. My two big stress relievers, and without time for them I was pretty much dying.
Now I need new needles so I can knit again. Or yarn. Or both. Heh.
So right now I'm working on my midterm for Literary Publishing, and I've got a bunch of tabs open on Yucca Mountain and Sen. Harry Reid. I guess I'm "fact-checking", which I'm not sure I had to do. But it's really interesting, especially in the context of the history of the environmentalist movement. Did this count? Was it important? Why did it take so long to get approved — or am I understanding incorrectly? Was it not approved recently? Why couldn't we have figured something else out?
It's amazing how I see it as an environmentalist issue, but not once are environmental issues brought up in the excerpt of the manuscript (o hai, we're editing a real-live manuscript for this one. Now I wanna read the book to see how it actually went through — not out yet). "Nuclear waste" is the issue brought up, and even then the reasons for it being an issue are never explicitly noted. Just the process and the facts, which, arranged as they are, seem to convey a deeper argument about Yucca Mountain and nuclear waste.
I'm a jumble of thoughts today.
