I don't seem to have time anymore to write proper posts; 140-character updates on other services is about as much as I can do. Heading into the home stretch on this semester. This part-time working thing has been much, much harder than I anticipated. You would think it would be easier, but it always feels like I'm forgetting something ( Read more... )

Jaz is currently a three-legged dog, as he has hurt his paw in some way. We are not sure exactly how he did it. It could have been one of two goofy/buttheaded incidents yesterday evening.

( Long story, probably not very interesting to anyone except me, my husband and our parents, but important for future purposes. Recording details in case we need to repeat them to vet at a later date. )

Now we know where Jaz gets his escape artistry. It's from his beagle genes.

I have my special corner of the library all to myself tonight, for some reason. Muahahaha! I guess everyone went home immediately after the final class today to study. We didn't cover a lot of substantive stuff today in class (it was mostly review of essay techniques), so not much need to come to the library afterward to condense notes, and no ( Read more... )

Jaz is in general a pretty good little guy, but we have to watch him around food. He’s not as aggressive as a purebred beagle would be about food, but he likes food very, very much.

On the plus side, it means that I can't work any overtime at work until Chris gets back, because I can't make the dog wait too long to go for his evening walk. On the minus side, I'm going to have to do some juggling on Tuesday when I have physics lab, since I usually ( Read more... )

Despite my recent unhappiness, I have to say that Chuck the dog from Dooce always makes me feel better. No matter how bad the day has been, looking at pictures of Chuck helps. I love the most recent one ( Read more... )

Jaz and I went for a walk in the snow today. Cute:

Everybody say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to freeshredder! He is old enough to drink and vote (at the same time, even), but not so old that he needs prosthetic devices or Viagra. The perfect age, in other words ( Read more... )

First of all, let me say that I actually do like IKEA. I know that's really middlebrow of me, but whatever. I like simple, clean designs, and IKEA has a lot of them. I don't care that some people find them boring. I think they're kind of cool ( Read more... )
