DENTISTRY AGAIN

22 February 2006

Naught two months ago I had my wisdom-tooth-pulling thing -or should I say, agony-, that had my jaw rippling through the cosmos for a week. Last Monday I went to the dentist for a routine check, and all of a sudden, out of the blue I get a root-canal treatment smacked on my curvaceous rear!

Half of the treatment, anyway. The rest comes in April. I tell you, my teeth are a chattering disaster, even though it could have been much worse and you won't catch me whining about it. But right now, my cheek looks like it digested half of Marlon Brando's face when he played The Godfather and assimilated it into itself. There's a bag of potatoes tucked in there somewhere and it won't come out. I'm horribly disfigured -that is, until the swelling wears off. Which I hope is soon.

So how did this happen again? Only two years ago I had my first root-canal thingamabob. And now this again? It's not that I don't brush my teeth well enough twice a day. Okay, I don't floss, there, are you happy? I don't eat too many times a day, so it couldn't have been that. No, I guess it's just the way my jaw is built up. Not necessarily horribly crooked or anything, just not balanced out when it comes to supporting the head. It's funny that I underwent this sort of thing Monday morning, because at the very same moment Mon was lying down as well having her wisdom tooth cut out by a surgeon. I guess my teeth felt they couldn't lag behind and had to be special that day as well. Stupid teeth.

I've played a little more Guild Wars and have deemed it appropriate entertainment to fill a lone evening with. So that's good. I still find it most charming in its looks and appearance. And I do love a well put together manual. Let's hope the game stays fun.

It is decided to split my graphic horror novel Quelle Horreur in two and sell it separately. I think I've already told you this, but it's good to mention again because I only have to make one more page to finish the first instalment. Then I create the cover and some additional content and we can sell the book in a few months! Hooray! Creepy zombie fun for everyone!
