Thanks.  That one really worried me.  Now I just have to do this original research project....

Also, next episode of Dishonored should be up in a few hours.  It would've been up on Friday or Saturday, but I was asleep Friday during the day and working all night, and I was, as a result, a zombie all Saturday.

And Sunday is a day of rest and shit, so tough luck.

On the other hand, the 17th...

You ever see movies, where there's a corporate heavy who shows up and causes all manner of trouble?

That's me, a week from Monday. I am going to Ohio to deliver threats of Doom to the manufacturer of the jet mill that's been causing us so much trouble.  And while I know that I will be shot by the hero or eaten by an alien before it's all over, I shall enjoy my status as The Villain until that occurs.

Correction:  Hannover, MA, not Ohio.  Easy mistake, anyone could have done it.  :lulz:

Waitaminute, you're gonna be WHERE? 

Call with schedule.  :)

Flying out on the 16th or 17th, probably the 17th.  I expect the business end of the trip will take 2-3 days, and I'm gonna tack some vacation on the end, will probably be in town until the 22nd or 23rd.

I have no idea where I'm flying in, but I'll be flying back out of TF Green.

March or April? Because I'll be back in Maine by then if it's April.

March, unfortunately.

Once again, TGRR and ECH pass each other in planes.   :lulz:

Of course it's in March. I'll be in Florida.

Not that it matters, since I need to remember I live in fucking New Hampshire now, not Rhode Island.

Now that I have the rant out of my system, time to work on Kitty Parson.

Oh Roger, you DO know we still have a lot of snow and nature over here and shit, right? And you're probably flying into Logan, which is Boston.

I'm flying out tomorrow from that hellhole.  :argh!:

If you're staying until Friday, there's the Kylie record release party at Boyfriends, and the Madonna night at Videodrome.

Probably into Logan, but out of TF Green.

I finished my paper.

Fuck the guy who suggested I "look into MLA to help" with my citation style. I think I must have gotten peer-reviewed by the least competent person in the class. Jesus fuck. His other truly brilliant criticism was that it read more like an essay than like a science paper. Seriously.

It's a stupid paper and I don't care about it at all. I bet his was on spoiled milk, and I have a feeling it was the one with three pages of citations on only tangentially-related environmental succession.

Never liked MLA myself.  Chicago manual seems much more natural, but I know some universities explicitly want one style or another.  Mine don't care, as long as it's consistent across the paper.

It doesn't actually matter at all for this paper, but I thought it was interesting that he didn't even recognize APA.

Which is hands-down the most common citation style in biology publications, followed by AMA.

It was nice of him to give me a heads-up that his review was going to be totally useless, though.

USF rejected my graduate application this morning, and UNH advanced mine from department review to final graduate school review. My stress levels...holy fuck.

Meanwhile, D-Cup got into fucking Harvard.
