It's somewhere in 1 Samuel 28 I think.
I just want to say what a shame it is that the version of the Wycliffite Bible I'm using is incomplete because I can't use the mulierem habentem pythonem example from the Witch of Endor story. I mean, I could have referenced Star Wars in my dissertation at the same time talking about a lady with the spirit of the python in her, meaning she's an oracle (and how that relates to ghost/spirit etc). Like seriously. Damn you, Wyclif. Or really the SWORD Project for having a broken one. Oh, well. I would have said "she used her powers for Ewok" (which is a lot like evil). Also the first of my three mini-papers is up to 1000 words now, which is almost good, except where it means I still have to do the last 40% of this one and then do it again twice. Maybe I should look for pianos and/or safes to stand under tomorrow.
EDIT 4:30am: kind of stuck at 1322 on mini-paper 1 (still "of 3"). Need. 500. more. words. That's not just, like, bullshit a long conclusion material though. That's like, you need 300ish more words of content good luck sucker material. Dear God, this is a failed venture more every day. Even if I get this up to 1800 words tonight (which I am resolved to do, even if it involves carving the last 500 words into my own flesh), that STILL leaves me 2800 words I need to write tomorrow. Which is still more than I wanted to have to write any given day and is, evidently, more than I am capable of writing in a day but I damn well better because Monday we leave for France so tomorrow I also have to pack, work out how to deal with Monday morningish, etc. THEN there's actual France during which time I will be able to do zero work, then there's Philip's meeting Thursday at which point I wanted to be done, but that's looking remarkably unlikely at this point...which would leave me only Thursday night and possibly Friday to actually finish it...Jesus I am not a happy camper. My MA had better be gold-fucking-plated after this kind of stress. Of course it won't be and of course it will just overqualify me for any jobs that make actual money...you can tell form my optimism that I'm totally not exhausted and wishing for sweet death.
EDIT2 6:30am: woo 1755! I could sit here and crank out another fance-sitting 45 words of bullshit, but I think it's fucking close enough. I give in. I am going to sleep but not for long enough because, well, see above edit.
