This is shaping up to be a busy week.

In order:

I just received a lovely stack of books to review/essayise. My inner schedule says "read two before Friday - three would be better".

I am nearly half-way through the novel and need to pick up speed if I am to finsh by Yom Kippur. My inner schedule aims for 15,000 more words by Friday. Watch this space to see if I make 15,000 words, if it all comes to a screaming halt or just sort of dribbles on bit by bit. If it comes to a screaming halt expect sulks. Or a tantie. Long time since I have had a hissy fit online - would be entertaining.

I will have Transact (miracles do happen - and they do happen at 8.30 am tomorrow, if anyone needs to chronicle them). If all goes as planned (yeah, I know, wishful thinking) I will be dumping vast amounts of planned scheduling to watch silly TV in glooooorious digital. Companionship welcome.

I will be interviewed for the Canberra Times (article probably to appear 21 September). It is a Jewishly historianish interview about the October course I am teaching at the ANU, not a writerly one, but the journo sounded super nice and has done a bunch of homework, so it should be fun. She did her Jewish/Melbourne homework, too, and knows all the right places and stuff. It was the google that did it in terms of me being in alt, though: I have been googled by a journalist! (sorry, I have stopped jumping up and down and waving my hands in the air, truly I have).

I come down to earth and have blood tests and stuff.

And then it might be Friday. Or it might not. I might just give up Friday and sleep through it.

Everyone is dealing with Katrina in their own way. One historical society has members who traipsed half across America to help out. And then there are people like this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/archer904/28328.html And Poppy Z Brite has not lost all her cats.

We still haven't heard a tenth of the story in Australia. This is not one of those events that big headlines can cover at all adequately. Every bit of relief makes me a little less despairing.
