I've even raped and killed a mountain panda in the hills of Shaanxi.

So I was all excited about Friday's DBFest shit - first Biosphere/ambient show, then Shpongle. Unfortunately after having some Pho for lunch, and hot soup broth hitting my new filling, and the nerve going FUCKING BAM! I realized it wasn't going to happen.

I figured I could at least go to the ambient show at Broadway Performance Hall, except it was seriously late. I left after Biosphere for many reasons, not the least of which being it's the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SEATED VENUE I've ever sat in. Granted my high school had a little money, the auditorium doubled as a movie theater, and my college "auditorium" (ie where we saw Squirrel Nut Zippers) was um, at Duke. Still. Nonetheless. I absolutely refused to go to the Saturday ambient event for this reason, and I swear to god unless say U2 plays there, I ain't goin' back.

But it didn't really matter since my tooth was flaring up, then aching after a flareup. I tried to get in touch with a couple people - since the few people I recognized at the BPH were giving me the cut direct - but they were having issues. So I just went to Dragonfish, had deep fried bacon and chicken satay, then bussed it home. NBD, watched Avengers again till Reg got home and passed out on the couch. That was really ok, I was worn out from Orbital on Thursday and wanted to save some energy for Saturday's show.

Lousy delicious bluefin. I am totally going to eat toro tonight, man.

I'm recovering from yet another UW Dental School trip. This time they took the temporary filling out and put a permanent filling in. Next time I get MY CROWN. It is alas going to be a tooth-colored crown, not a gold one. I am white but not a hillbilly. Although I was wishing for a short time that I was a hillbilly; then I could have just have the goddamned tooth yanked in November. But now that I have actual dental insurance I guess I'll start going to the dentist like non-hillbilly white folk.

• So apparently I can't work on holidays. "Woo-hoo?"

• Reg and I watched Akira and Key Largo yesterday. I much preferred the latter. Can any of you anime geekoids explain to me wtf Akira was about? This is the second time I've seen it, and I didn't understand it either time.

• I look like I'm hiding gumballs in my cheek pouches instead of golf balls, but I'm still going to wear a kerchief for photos later.

GOOD BYE WISDOM TEETH

Reg assures me that having feelings like i'm going crazy is a sure sign that I'm not. I guess he knows!

Also I ate both of the hollow Godiva bunnies and i felt so fuckin' sick afterwards I couldn't work for an hour. And then it was time to go home.

I am thinking that i need a teething ring for when my jaw feels funny. It's analagous to being horny and wanting something to fill up the 'gina, I guess.

I was all pissed off yesterday at the weekend trolls who ate my Thai food, but this morning I was looking for yogurt and, well wow, my Thai food magically reappeared. So, yeah, forget that. However, there was no yogurt, so I had to break into my secret oatmeal stash. I actually kind of like oatmeal, although my favorite kind has apples, cinnamon, sugar, and raisins. And doesn't exist except in my mom's kitchen.

Also I had a single tall gingerbread latte, which, trust me, is enough reason to forgive Starbucks for all its ubiquitousness. Or, as hydrozoa put it, "reason to drink coffee." I hadn't had anything with caffeine in it since Friday, but since the weekend was a bit of a drug debauchery that doesn't really matter. I had no other caffeine and I felt fine, except I fell asleep around ten. But I did have Pho for dinner, which inevitably makes one drowsy, so perhaps it doesn't matter. I watched the first thirty minutes or so of The Guns of the Navarone (sp?) and woke up just as it was ending THREE HOURS LATER. Reg advised me to watch it during daylight hours - figuratively speaking of course - and we went to bed.

At that point I had a headache, but a mild one, and it was gone by the time I woke up for real. And then about twenty minutes ago I wasn't feeling tired but the slight headache began to return. I'm fearing it's now the other side of my head's wisdom teeth, and I think I'm just gonna have to suck it up and make an appt. at Harborview for, you know, a month from now. But then I had a caffeinated cola beverage and it went away.

i think i have dry socket

i want to die

Awwww.

I got totally assraped at the dentist yesterday. Well, not really, just that my wisdom tooth is going -----> instead of you know, vertical like nice normal next-door teeth. Which I hadn't really grasped before. Anyway I got drugs but not very many.

I also got a parking ticket from a parking company which I'm totally not going to pay; I'm just never going to park in that lot again. I got it because I went to a store next door in addition to the store I parked at. The homeless guys out front told me. "Nice."

Anyway we went to EN for karaoke last night and I did "Sad Songs Say So Much", which I haven't actually heard in 4 years probably so I did ok. And also Reg and I duet-ed "DAMMIT JANET." Which rocked and made me want to do the time warp. Again.
