woe!
Joss Whedon is off the Wonder Woman project. Woe! I would really have liked to see what he made of it.
My amoeba-like status in the dept. notwithstanding, I seem to have advanced in l33t admin skillz to the point where I will spend large chunks of the next two weeks on the Dean's Table during registration, signing off student curricula and watching my signature deteriorate even further beyond its current minimalist scrawl. This isn't nearly as much fun as assisting bewildered students through the thickets of curriculum design, but hey. It also means that, between registration and Honours dissertation marking, I won't get much done on this chapter for a bit. Woe.
On the upside, the one Hons student gave me a copy of Six Moon Dance, hitherto missing from my Tepper collection, as a thank-you present for supervising her thesis. It's a good thesis, too, I'm rather enjoying wading through eco-feminist theory. The problem's in the dualism: the division of society into reason/nature absolutes which are mapped onto man/woman divisions and which relegate women and nature to the same low-status lack of agency. Chewy stuff.
Army of Reconstruction update: they've taken the roof off my bedroom. It looks very odd.
