    <content type="html">Term and post term has been horrendously busy, and the book remains unfinished. Where are we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book:&lt;br /&gt;Vietnam and homosexuality chapters still need surgery.&lt;br /&gt;Epilogue needs completion.&lt;br /&gt;New Wave chapter needs a sentence on Ballard, Children's stuff on &lt;i&gt;Pete's Dragon&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bibliography!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile I've given papers on &lt;i&gt;Survivors&lt;/i&gt; (twice) and Bernard Herrmann (outside of comfort zone, much?) and need to work up proposals for respective proceedings volumes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need to do some prep to teach a film session. May just wing it at this rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read and examined a PhD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, there is much in the pipeline still"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Postmodernism, Postmodernity and the Postmodern: Telling Local Stories at the End of Time" has appeared in &lt;i&gt;Teaching Science Fiction&lt;/i&gt;, but no sign of a copy yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Psychoanalysis and the Fantastic" is presumably in press somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;i&gt;The Man Who Fell To Earth&lt;/i&gt;: The Messiah and the Amphicatastrophe" and "Unimportant Failures: The Fall and Rise of &lt;i&gt;The Man Who Fell to Earth&lt;/i&gt;" had final versions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If None of this is Real, How Should We Treat Other People?" needs a final revision before publisher intervention for &lt;i&gt;Philip K. Dick and Philosophy&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'm editing and writing things on sf adaptation for a project that never seems to die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No idea why I feel overworked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=faustus&amp;ditemid=385966" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Spent part of this evening listing my research accomplishments for this last academic year - remind me why I am feeling drained and exhausted?
