I— I just finished almost finished typing an entry. Unfortunately, I also just clicked on something. My browser abandoned what I’d diligently composed and flew off towards another page. When I tried to return to the draft, everything I typed was gone. My first reaction was to blame WordPress, because, you know, not only did WP fail to auto-save my entry, it also—somehow— made me click on that wicked link. :(

II— In truth, I only have myself to blame. One should always save her work. Oh well? It’s not like you’ve never neglected to save something too, right? :D

On a slightly similar note, until recently, I never believed that dogs were actually capable of destroying (home)work, of eating it. Now, I know better. The favorite excuse “my dog ate my homework” cannot be said to be without merit. Not only is my dog a homework-eater, she is also a textbook-destroyer. For whatever reason, my dog decided to abandon my grandmother’s care, to go downstairs, and to chew up/spit on/eat every bit of paper-like thing she could get her cute little paws on. A photo album, my alumni magazine, and 2 (or 3 - it’s hard to tell) books were ripped to pieces. It was as though the paper fairy came and decided to sprinkle several rooms with paper dust covered in dog spittle.

Some of you may be thinking, “But did she actually eat any homework?” No. There wasn’t any homework in the house to be had. But if there were, I know that she wouldn’t have had any qualms about eating it.
