5 weeks to go

03.23.2006

I'm currently swamped in footnote purgatory. Referencing individual newspaper articles to give rich, qualitative descriptions of Bolivian elections going back to 1985 is not nearly as exciting as it sounds. I just finished slogging though the 1989 election. Which, ironically, is the last of the easy ones — starting in 1993 the sheer volume of newspaper stuff increases exponentially. But I think I'm keeping up a decent pace, w/ five weeks left to go.

Which reminds me: I need to do a complete overhaul of my Bolivian politics tidlywiki. I'm noticing that there's about five times more information I have that's not up and available. Soon as my dissertation's finished & defended, that'll go up. I promise.

And, w/ that, I should head home for some much-needed dinner. And some exercise. I gotta do this all over again tomorrow.

the agony of the details of published writing. Hang in there. Just think how hard it'd be on the old manual typewriters!
