Life...so hard...so much paperwork...

I am currently rewriting (except there's not all that much there, so it's more like writing) our rights and repro policy. I am bogged down in the swamp of boilerplate and, as my boss says, it's hard to stop yourself from trying to anticipate every possible emergency, contingency, and quirk that might come up that you need to address in your policies - registrars being the doomsayers of any museum!

On the other hand, my exhibition is on track nicely, despite all my apprehensions. The gallery guide is being printed, the preview sign is up in the Great Hall, and I've hashed out wall color and other sundries with our preparator. It's still not all quite there, but it's pretty darn close.

In media news, Bemo and I have been watching Justified, aka. There's Life After Deadwood. I've only seen two eps, but both of them have been really solid, and so far I like the show quite a lot.

I just finished reading a very good bio of Doc Holliday, rec'd from the friend's list, and I'm now reading a recent Jesse James one, which is just as enjoyable in a different way - the writing styles are very different, but the Doc Holliday bio was a little more cautiously written, since the author was picking his way through a mythic minefield. The James bio embraces a slightly more dashing style.
