In which I had a dental appointment today. Okay, so, all I wanted to do was pee the entire second hour I was in the chair. Really badly. But I couldn’t, because I was getting a fucking root canal. 1. Two and a half hours at the dentist. 2. DENTAL. Motherfucking. DAM. 3. Temporary filling: […]
In which I need a fucking root canal?! My appointment was at two o’clock. I naively expected to be out of there in about an hour, but I didn’t get back to my desk until a quarter past four. First of all, nobody told me about the smell. The drill wasn’t that loud nor did […]
In which I get some bad news u guise! I have to get holes drilled in one of my teeth!!!!1! [dropcap]I[/dropcap] have never had a cavity IN MY LIFE*. I’m that one person who can say, “I have never had a filling. Ever!” (I have bad skin and have to wear glasses, not to mention […]
In which there is a recipe that takes the place of potato-based, flour-thickened chowder. Behold, one of my favorite meals of all time: the humble soup ‘n’ sandwich combo. My version is a creamy veggie chowder with a creamy brie-and-avocado sandwich.

In which I’ve quit smoking. Yet again. [dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen you get a lung infection severe enough your doctor gives you an asthma treatment five minutes after you present with what you think is just a bad cold, you pretty much quit smoking on the spot. Quitting is pretty easy, really. You just screw up your self […]
In which there’s a trip to the clinic. [dropcap]T[/dropcap]hursday night at the gig, someone asked me if I had walking pneumonia. Today I googled it, and yeah, I have all the symptoms — but it was already Friday afternoon and I didn’t get the impression I was going to drop dead from it and sure, […]
In which I have one. [dropcap]I[/dropcap] caught a winter cold a couple of weeks ago. Missed a day of work, even. Now just suffering residual snot. This post is stupid. I love the Internet.
In which this was originally posted elsewhere, but I’m moving a copy over here because I wrote it and I can. Overweight is a metabolic issue and not a behavioral one. It’s currently the fashion to believe that overweight people suffer from sloth and gluttony; however, adipose tissue is not the result of character defects […]
In which there’s a post of no interest to anyone who does not wear acrylic nails. Sunday I went to my favorite nail salon, LT Nails, over on Issacs street, for a fill. “A fill” is the procedure in which, after your nails have been growing out for two or three weeks, they “fill” the […]
