what a night.

Had to give Theo a flea sponging this evening. God was that ever a nightmare. I haven't done one of those in a few years... wow. And boy does he look silly when he's soaking wet. Poor sad, wet kitty.

On the good side of things, I finally finished my damned anthro term paper. Of course, now I have to do my readings... *Sighs* Ah well. This is what I get for thinking it was a 6-8 page paper when in reality it was 10-15. I squeaked in at 10 pages. 10 pages of mostly regurgitated information from all my books (and me desperately trying not to insert anything I know from sources I don't know how to cite, like, I dunno, the two classes I've taken on the subject).

And, on another good side, I got to see an episode of Stargate with Peter Wingfield in it. His hair was so foofy and silly, but he still looked terrifically cute. Silly To'kra having those damn voice-altering thingies, though... *Sighs*

And the game? So very bizarre at the moment. Little Cissa is just kind of curled up in my brain banging her head on a wall, for lack of anything actually constructive to do in all this mess.

oh....yikes about the paper. When did you figure out it was actually supposed to be bigger? I'm so glad the quarter is almost over and you can forget about school for a couple months!

And poor Theo, what did you use to flea bath him?

I figured it out yesterday, of course. Thank goodness I thought to check.

We used some stuff we had bought a while ago. We'd used it before, but we'd never done the absolutely full bath on him, the last time. He was not a happy kitty.

Sorry - MLA frowns on citing classwork. But you might be able to sneak it in as a speech, if you can pin down a date.

Just follow this format (LJ doesn't let me use hanging indents easily):

Harris, Muriel. "Writing Labs: A Short History." 2003 Writing Center Conference. National Writing Centers Association. La Swank Hotel, Seattle. 28 March 2003

Possibly you could shorten it to this:

Harris, Muriel. "The ethics of archaeology in graveyards." 2003 classroom lecture. University of Washington, Seattle. 28 March 2003.

Iffy, at best. And the few papers I've seen where the student tries to do this get shot down for bad sources. Actually one was displayed in the University of Arkansas museum (for different reasons) and the student tried to list a separate lecture from the same professor (I'll call him Flitwick) as a source for his paper. Across the biblio. in glaring red ink is the sentence "Professor Flitwick is not a credible source."

Exactly - it was a real hassle to avoid accidentally writing anything that I knew from lecture, especially since some of it would've been really handy for what I was writing. *Sighs* On the other hand, I'm lazy and would rather avoid any form of trouble like that. ;)

I love that last story. I'll have to remember that in case I'm ever in a similar situation, as an instructor.
