Really, evolution does need to get going and rid us of our teeth, because I'm fed up with having an insane maniac with a drill having a go at my mandibles every half a year. The mad glint in her eye inevitably rids me of sleep for a month, and I shudder in the middle of the night at the thought that the appointment is imminent.

So, I have this tooth. Twelve years ago the cavities in it were so bad, it got treated with ZnO, and apparently it's now so week it's barely worth filling. I'm deathly afraid of root canals, and not just the black hole they deposit in a bank account. Good news: the root canal is postponed. Bad news: it is still inevitable.

Sulk.

In other news, I got my reading butt in gear: over the past week (yeah, the lack of internet had a thing or two to do with it, but I was being distracted by the family) I read Christine, Twilight Watch and the new Dan "Here, Allow Me To Mount This Anvil Over Your Head" Brown. The first was fantastic, as befitting Stephen King, the second ... well, I did love most of it, though the execution had this grating feel to it. The third, well. On one hand, it's good to see he got his head out of his butt and decided to join us in the real world. On the other, the roller-coaster scheme suffered for it. Dude. Go back to your happy place!

i meant to ask, how are you getting on with covenant?
probably thinking I'm gone in the head for loving it the way that i do
apparently girls on the whole don't, (chapter 7 comes to mind)

I'm reading it, albeit slowly. I don't think it's chapter seven, specifically, rather that there's too many people and strange words to describe them. Now that he's travelling with the lords I confuse horses with men.

And I still want to hit him with a pointy stick. He could take on Anakin Skywalker in a whining contest and win.

I have a tooth like that and share your fear of root canal treatment. (I asked the dentist if it hurt and he said "You might think that; I couldn't possibly comment." Frankly, having one's dentist quote Francis Urquhart is NOT reassuring). Anyway, my dentist put a metal collar around where the outside of the tooth should be and stuck a load of amalgam filling into it. So far, so good!

I would be terrified!

Well, I convinced mine I am willing to risk another filling (in a tooth that's more filling than tooth) to postpone the root canal. :( My mouth just aches thinking about it, and now they tell me the root canal is done under a microscope, and I wonder, WTF and how will they stick it into my mouth? o.O

I'm sure you'll be fine - you'll live at the very least =D. Sides I asked a friend and she said that though it was painful (she turned up to school with enough pain-killers to open a drug store xD ) it wasn't as bad as her head made it out to be. Though to turn a person into a walking drug store I can see why you want to postpone it.

If it makes you feel any better Goku had a real bad cavity too =D (though how this comment goes about making you smile I don't know =C )

Thankfully, I have something like a year until I have to contemplate it. At least I hope so. :)

He had? When?

[3x9fallinggrace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he did. It was in one of the drama CDs. I think you can find the track and somewhat of animation on Sarubaby's journal. Hehe, they were so mean to him x3

I'm really sorry about your tooth. I have quite a phobia of tooth problems, and I always shudder before all of my appointments. I cross my fingers for you.

On a lighter note, of all the Dan Brown's books, I've only read Angels and Demons so far, partly because I was curious to know more about The Hassassin. (And for the first time ever, I preferred the film to the book! It seems Dan Brown is that powerful XD)
So I'm still hesitant to buy his last one, although I'd like to see the film adaptation.

My teeth are a one great problem. I had a period of not giving a damn, in my foolish teen years, and now it's coming to bite me. I exaggerate, a touch. They are just weak and decalcified, meaning that it's that much easier for cavities to form. :(

I preferred DaVinci Code over A&D books, though my personal hierarchy of his accomplishments goes
1. Angels and Demons movie (aside from the fact that it was a decent thriller with few illusions about itself, it had Hakkai in it, and the music was fantastic)
2. DaVinci Code book
3. DaVinci Code movie
4. Angels and Demons book
5. everything else

His latest is too outrageous to be taken seriously and not outrageous enough to thrill. XD

[adena-kaiba.livejournal.com]

Yes, I loved the music too! And the mere fact to be able to see Hakkai in a movie is a good reason to watch it. :D

I knew The Last Symbol would be disappointing... thanks for giving me your opinion (as well as sparing me an unfortunate purchase :P)
