Apparently they're not offering the Creative Writing capstone at my school for my senior year. Which is bullshit because if you have people taking creative writing classes but no capstone that focuses on what we're passionate about, then we're fucked writing research papers.
AHHHH.
So you have to write a research paper instead of doing the course if you want to graduate this year?
But you can't really write a paper on creative writing.
Make a complaint, I guess.
It's like, we have a capstone on one specific topic. Some of them write research papers but if they're creative writing oriented then you write stories. It looks like the only creative writing course they're offering is poetry.
I think their website is screwed up though because they're offering about 20 "academic discourse" classes, they have 9 "intro to creative writing" but only 1 advanced creative writing and then no capstone for it. Which, I mean..if you do capstones then you need to really offer them every semester or else everyone who did the creative track is going to be set back severely because you don't write research papers in creative writing classes.
I'm heading up there now to see what's the deal.
I actually had the same problem this year, where the capstone I needed wasn't available the semester I wanted to graduate in.
I went and got up in their shit about it and they told me I could do the necessary course as an independent study program, which I am now doing. Or I could've need one of their medium courses in a more advanced way, something like that. But it all worked out pretty well in the end.
I might have to do that. I just got the official list from them and I feel completely unprepared for all of these classes. They're offering a film class but its about African American films and what they show us in society. And then a poetry and politics class (which I'm sure the poetry people are going "WTF" over) and then a Shakespeare course. I might do Shakespeare but it'll be like fucking pulling teeth.
I'm livid right now. I cannot believe this.

Getting pate that isn't liver of some kind is pretty tricky here. I don't care for liver. Bit of a leftover from my childhood where it was drilled into my head that you don't eat deer liver. So I substitute mushrooms and don't feel bad.
Deer liver is poisonous? Like whale liver?
It's not poisonous but it does tend to store any mercury that the deer ingests. Depending on the region the levels can be above the safe levels.

Universities are always bureaucratically monstrous and people do always seem to fall through the cracks, but also they tend to be pretty good at safety nets and everything working out in the end. And for what it's worth in my experience the courses you had to take just because your schedule doesn't work out any other way are often the courses that you learn the most from.

How come I have a bad feeling the USA is gonna wind up taking some kind of reputation war mongering ding for getting involved with Libya even though it's a coalition involvement and the French are really kinda spearheading it.
If all goes well, hopefully this will end the Americans' annoying anti-French bullshit. And, y'know, I guess liberate Libya or something.

blah, really don't feel like writing this test plan.
test 1: throw space suit off the roof (x3)
test 2: fart in space suit, see if smell leaks (x4)
test 3: drag space suit behind pickup, engineer inside (x2)

Mercury is not a big deal unless you're eating it (or more getting it into your lungs). Hysteria about broken thermometers helps nobody.

this space politics blog troll is so tiresome. as are the rest of the commentors inability to ignore him. They're a bunch of compulsive types that can't just let it go.

Being OCD is actually a really useful trait when inattentiveness can lead to big oopsies

The one context where the hysteria is somewhat appropriate is when it comes to aircraft. It will quite happily creep along seams by capillary action, amalgamate with the aluminium in the airframe and cause invisible weak spots in undetectable places (until something breaks, obv.).

Not so much. You can swim in it, you could actually eat it and you'd be fine. The problem is mercury vapour and your respiratory system.

Actually, I'm not sure if the mechanics of swimming would work in mercury, but the problems stem from putting in your mouth, nose or ears. Or it being hot.

You would be much more buoyant in mercury than you would be in water.

This is true, but it's also really viscous. Could be one of those situations where you'd fail to produce enough force with each stroke to actually move.

it might be really hard to break through the surface tension.
Recent work at Fukushima Daiichi has included making holes to allow hydrogen to disspate from fuel ponds at units 5 and 6, while unit 3's fuel pond is said to have stabilised. An announcement of stability at unit 3's pond came from chief cabinet secretary Yukiyo Edano. This follows the deployment of Hyper Rescue, a truck featuring a 22 metre arm that pumps some 3000 litres of water per minute, in combination with Super Pump Truck. Together the machines sprayed seawater through the holes left in the sides of the reactor building.
Only Japan would have a Hyper Rescue Super Pump Truck.

A friend of mine actually sang that song to her then-boyfriend, who was in fact the celibate son of a preacher.
They were both oblivious to its meaning.

they called the hazmat team and the kids got drug outside and sprayed down infront of the school like they had been contaminated with radiation
and then the whole section of the hall where the kid had been keeping it in his locker got cordoned off and they did whatever they do to clean that
it was a p big deal
but also funny

test 2: fart in space suit, see if smell leaks (x4)

What the fuck? That is madness.
Afternoon Delight is about a lovely cup of iced tea on a hot summers day
It somehow got knocked over and the janitor tried to mop it up or something.
Whatever happened, it got tracked all over the office. A janitor tried to mop some of it down the elevator shaft etc.
The office was closed for a week and just about every alphabet group in the government was on site.
The same janitor?
that was the best part
they evacuated that part of the school, so everyone went outside like a fire drill and there were the kids, naked and getting hosed down and scrubbed by guys in hazmat suits
Not sure but I like to imagine it was.
