Round House paper

facepaaaalm.

Shrimp pilaf, recipe out of Greek Cooking for the Gods. Substitute apple cider or something for the sherry, substitute water or chicken broth for the clam juice (because where in fuck am I going to find clam juice, and I can't be bothered buying sherry), halve the shrimp to cut the cost (because shrimp is by far the most expensive food I'm willing to buy), et voila. Won't be as tasty as the original recipe but should be tasty enough, right?

...Recipe calls for raw shrimp. (One cooks the shells to make a broth and separately cooks the shrimp with the veggies and spices.) I must not have read this too closely, because I bought precooked frozen shrimp.

I don't want to go back to the store. Which means now I have no idea what work lunches this week are or what I'm doing with a pound of shrimp.

THE PLAGUE I TELL YOU

(I was wrong, it's not 1/4 of my grade. It's 1/5. But I still have to get it fucking done in the next twenty-one hours. ARGH.)

But I don't WANT to spend ten dollars on the ebook of a book I already own and do not want. I just want to be able to ctrl-F the paper copy so I can find the scenes I'm trying to analyze without having to reread the whole bleeding book.

I bought the damn Round House ebook anyway and, wouldn't you know it, Kindle for PC won't find more than 100 instances of any given phrase. Searching on "Sonja" and selecting instance #100 puts me 54% into the book. I promise you she was in the back half of the book. In fact a scene from the back half of the book is what I'm trying to find right now! Did I just spend ten bucks on a book I already own and don't want for no good reason?

I figured out how to get Kindle for PC to show me the search results for Sonja's name for the back half of the book. Go to the last result it'll show, ctrl-F something else, then ctrl-F the original thing. It still only shows 100 results, but they're a different set of 100.

Now I just need one more page and a conclusion paragraph and probably a few more cites of class readings.

FUCK IT. I'm still a page short but I'm at a total loss for how to get that page in given that I've cited every textbook source that seems vaguely applicable to Sonja and quoted most of them and also quoted nearly every one of her scenes and cited every last one of them. At least I should not fail the assignment, right?
