MLA makes me want to murder someone.
I need to turn in a paper in <2 hours and there is apparently no way to cite publicly available tax forms.

http://www.knowledgecenter.unr.edu/help ... _cite.aspxBASIC CITATION FORM
Government publications are written by federal bureaucrats and printed, not published, by the Government Printing Office. Very often these publications will not follow a standard title page arrangement and some publishing elements will be eliminated. However, use the following citation example to find as many elements as possible and arrange them as shown.
Author (Agency). Title, edition, statement. Place of publication: Publisher, Date. (Series elements). (Notes). [ If including Superintendent of Documents number, enter in Notes ]
Cobble together something from that link and that example--your professor will most likely be fine with it.

Yeah, I just mashed up what you get from an online database with random info. I asked the prof and she seemed fine with it. The issue is that IRS forms aren't published documents and only 990 forms for 501(c) non profits are made public. It's a very specific instance.
Personally, I think the whole standardized citation thing is a way for MLA and APA and WTF to make money off college students by "updating" their manuals and selling NEW EDITIONS of their books. In other words: a scam.

Pouring rain today. Pants, shoes, and socks, all got soaking wet on the way into work. And when your pants are wet, you're fucking done.

my body is just not suitable for the weather we have here right now... it's freezing cold in the morning, pretty warm over the day and then it gets really cold and windy from one second to the next in the evening... I've been getting headaches pretty much daily for the past one and a half weeks now.. also- basement still wet... drying machines need to stay for at least another week. But the moistness measuring engineer guy said that they could stop the machines by next week.. so we can finally start renovating the basement...
I also have mixed feelings about that... renovating... we (my dad and I) have been renovating the living room, bedroom and kitchen over the last few months... and we're both sick of it... but I'm also looking forward to it... fresh new basement.. we're planning on setting up things a little bit different... basically I will move all my stuff in another room... well.. it's probably going to be cool when it's finished...

I've resisted looking for a drummer on craigslist for very long. I was hoping to find a friend or friend of a friend, but no luck. So today I gave craigslist a shot and.... They should just rename the "Musicians" section to "Looking for a drummer". Seriously...

I saw a thread on Talkbass..."Yamaha SBV-550 for sale" and I actually got lightheaded for a second
And then it was just a link to the one from a few months ago that was local pickup only in England
Not like I have the money to buy it anyway.
