Countdown...

Four days until mother gets here.

Three full days to write at least a rough draft of this damn lit review so I can send it to my supervisor for critique in time to get it back and have a few days to tweak any rough patches after mum's gone.

I have less than 1,000 words so far. We've been given a usual range of 5,000-10,000, and I have a feeling it's going to be closer to 10,000. SO far to go.

However, I have read over 100 journal articles, ended up ordering one book I couldn't get anywhere else, and have (mostly) narrowed it down to the 50 or so references that are acceptable for this sort of review. I have a rough outline in my head about how I'm going to procede. I know this stuff. I just have to write it down.

Argh. This is going to be a hellish three days. Fannish activity will likely cease (except the occasional pornish distraction to help me cope), so catch you guys on the flip side.

GIP b/c it's so damn funny. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] iconzicons.

Ahhh! This was the second one I got and I just have to share it with you:

    In 1972, a crack commando was sent to prison by a military court for a crime he didn't commit. He promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no-one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire Vin Diesel.

Hee. Points for the A-Team ref. The Vin Diesel ones are good, too, but there's just something inherently funny about Chuck Norris.
