Bye, Felicia(I can't believe I named somebody's tumor, but I guess I did.)
Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
You are welcome in my class anytime, Epic!
OK I normally dislike Rebecca Schulman's whiny "why didn't I get a tenure job?!?" schtick, but I am so with her on the academic publication racket.
Yay, Ginger! How are you feeling?
Hooray, Ginger!
Yay Ginger!
You are welcome in my class anytime, Epic!
Can you arrange to teach a few classes in the Human Behavior Master's at National in 2015? If so, I'm SO there!
Yay, Ginger! How are you feeling?
Yes, this.
Yay Ginger!
You don't even know -- my brain is going "APA style is HIDEOUS! Why all the periods?!?"
I know, right? It makes no sense! Well, putting the year right at the beginning makes sense, since for science stuff, "How old is this research?" is generally a pretty important question. Putting the year in parentheses, and then putting a period after it, makes no sense. And italicizing volume number but not page number, while separating them with a comma, is stupid.
It looks like a lot of the bibliographical punctuation format comes from library cataloging practice. The publication date would be on its own line and end in a period. Each element gets its own line on the catalog card and gets a period. I can't remember what the cataloging convention is called, and I can't tell whose citation standard is closest.
I didn't get that blogging gig, but it seems like it had little to do with my presentation at least. I might try to write up a Guest Blog(they also get paid) but so far there is not much difference between my hustling very hard and, you know, not really.
I just got a call about the PET scan I had Tuesday. The cancer is responding to the chemo! It's shrinking! Go, chemo, go!
Yay!!!
