NaNoWriMo post-poned again. Also, a creationist theme park

This month is going to be ridiculous so I'm already throwing in the towel, so-to-speak.  That is, I'm going to make January my NaNoWriMo, because I am working 80 hour weeks this month, as well as trying to write grad school applications.  That takes priority, for the moment.  On the plus side, I've carved out time to read and write.

In other news, Kentucky is gearing up to build a huge creationism theme-park:

Ark Encounter, which will feature a 500-foot-long wooden replica of Noah’s Ark containing live animals such as juvenile giraffes, is projected to cost $150 million and create 900 jobs, Beshear announced at a Capitol press conference.

“Make no mistake about it, this is a huge deal,” he said.

Governor Steve Beshear is spearheading this one, and it's going to include Noah's Ark, and way more animals than I find necessary.  Man people love their ark.  What about some of David's songs; small-world-after-all-style?  Or some of those badass judges?  Remember when Deborah drove a tent pole through Sisera's head?  Good times.

You know, I ought not care about this half as much as I do.  Really, I think my problem with it is two-fold.  One:  Why is Kentucky suddenly the headquarters for Creationism (current home of the Creationism Museum).  It makes me feel more cut off from my own state than some of the other alienating aspects have ever made me feel.  Two:  Separation of religion and state doesn't come into play here, according to everyone involved.  But please.  Please someone propose an Islamic-themed amusement park.

Really.  I've got my fingers crossed here.
