this time I swear I will not stay up all night

Assignment 2. Once again, I am pulling together the group essay. Situation is better than it was 2 hours ago, in that the person whose entry was missing in action has now sent in her stuff. It's in point form, but that's much better than the entry that appears to have been cobbled together without attribution or any kind of critical assessment from various reports (or maybe just 1 report -- it's all one paragraph and really shouldn't be, so it's a little hard to tell). The other 2 people have done a fine and acceptable job, just like last time. I think it'll be OK in the end, but ah, group work. How fraught with peril you are. (Particularly in a continuing education course where the academic backgrounds of the participants are, how to say this without sounding snobbish... mixed.)

Anyway, as I say, don't intend to stay up all night for this one. People can bloody well take what they get, and it's not due until Tuesday anyway.

Jen and I went out for lunch today and while we were out my dog ate:
- a breakfast pita that was sitting in its bag on Jen's counter
- part of a bag of low-fat carrot muffin mix that was sitting on my counter
- slivered almonds ditto

He gnawed on:
- an empty Gladware container that had held yogurt, also on Jen's counter
- an empty Gladware container that had held my lunch yesterday, out of my bag
- a Buffy the Backside Slayer bar, which apparently was not to his taste, also out of my bag

He rejected:
- three Bath Ballistics, also in my bag
- a jug of maple syrup on my counter (thank goodness -- that could have got messy)

Amazingly, he was not very interested in dinner. Otherwise he seems quite all right. Well, except that there's still some muffin mix caked in his beard. I thought his aunt raithen would likely prescribe belly lifts, so I have done some.

Brat.

Auntie Raithen says you are a wise wise woman, miss Ell. And that Blue is a very silly dog. And that we should chat soon -- tomorrow, say? I had an EXCITING day, but OMG SO TIRED.

also, if you are reading this Saturday night, I am hereby ordering to get your ass to bed!!

Ass is getting to bed! Yes'm!

(Just what I was thinking myself, in fact...)

You're very brave about group work.

And oh my, that's quite a tally of stuff eaten. Meep.

Last week Jen showed me a small jar of mustard (like a mini jam jar from a gift set, that size) with tooth marks on it.

We tried to explain to him that puppies don't like mustard, but I don't think he believed us.

Heh, well even Indigo is curious about mustard. I'm not letting him try it. Of course he won't even eat a piece of roasted chicken when offered...odd cat.

Your dog seems to be quite smooochable. :)
