I guess the question is -- how much more are you going to have to deal with this person. There is little chance that you will change the mind of this person. My questions is -- is he fair? When DH taught freshman english, he defined academic English -- and told his classes what arguments were acceptable and which were not ( god said so was not an acceptable argument). If the lecturer is unfair , or his biases show in grading -- you have a good case for making a bigger deal out of things. Otherwise -- I'd just quote everything back with qualifiers like "one interpretation is..."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have spent the morning searching for a place we can
shut down this year celebrate our date-iversary on Sunday. I finally found a nice restaurant we haven't been to yet that is both open and taking reservations. Then I sent out invites to a small gathering at our apartment on NYE. The rest of the day is all about the indoor pants and reading new books!

Sean, glad to hear S is doing better, and you too.
It being mostly cloudy and 70, I think Dallas stole SoCal weather. And I'm feeling particularly lazy. I have the sliding glass door open to get fresh air in the apartment. So I guess I'm guarding my apt from wildlife getting in. Ya. That's what I'm doing. Sure it looks like I have my feet up in the recliner, but I really am doing something. Right?

Our wings are not tired.
My first reaction to the Lennon link is Ewwww.
I'm trying to work up the energy to clean my house. Really need to do it. Don't wanna.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh man... I think I'm catching Abby's cold. This would suck mightily, but if there's going to be any kind of bright side, it's that it's at least after Christmas and there are no alarms for me to respond to for the next week.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ugh. Just went shopping, and it took up 47 minutes to get out of the mall parking garage.
We just opened our presents from my aunt and uncle. I got the DVD of Hairspray. My parents had also gotten me that DVD, but my parents got me the 1-disc edition, and my aunt and uncle got me the "2-disc Shake and Shimmy Edition," so it's got some extra stuff, including a thing teaching the dance steps. My mother has decreed that tonight we're watching Mamma Mia, though.
