OK so back to ortho this morning. They took an impression of my upper arch as they call it. So OK last time I not only puked I also bit the poor woman taking the impression. I'm glad, by the way, that my job in no way gets me into any situation where one might be bitten. Finger given? sure. Yelled at? always. (No not really) Bad food in the cafe. Oh please that was redundant. Bad food... Cafe... duh.

This time they sprayed my throat, and asked me what flavor I wanted for the goop. Flavor? Howaboutanythingbutpuke? (You try to talk right after they spray down your throat with "numb it now!" or maybe it was just Raid Plus, hard to say by the taste.)

I will say that stuff works, she even did the tongue depresser extra goo trick and I didn't so much as gag. She jammed it in. (Sounds like a porno huh?) And I didn't even bite her. (A boring porno to be sure.) Then I managed to take all the air I needed through my nose. I've had a bit of a cold on top of everything so I was worried. Still didn't bite her. She messed with the tray and again, I didn't bite her. yay me.

Then the Dr. came over and admired my stitches. She was pretty impressed with my lack of swelling. So I got that going for me. Lack of inflamation boo ya. She goes, "I'm gonna close that gap." I got "uh what?.. What gap?"

She says, "That gap." Like I know which gap.

I say back, "You aren't going to put brackets on, are you?"

"Nope, just bend this."

She took my retainer (Yes I still say it like Chucky in Good Will Hunting.) and some pliers and turned her back. I'm all "uh oh." She gives it back and says, "Can you get that in?" (again with the boarder line taken out of context things to say) I push it in. (I'm gonna stop bringing up the porno-esque lines, I swear.) "Yeah it's in."

"Is it OK?"

I respond "It's tight." (Porno. OK really I'll stop now.)

So they bent that one, I get a new one this afternoon and I don't have to wear them during the day. I hope this new one glows... Creepy.

Next steps

So on friday I did the next major dental thing in my mouth. (Under redundant it says see redundant...)

I not only had a bunch of "color" fillings to repair the two tonedness in my mouth my favorite and only baby tooth was removed and in it's place a metal pin was put. I had some serious drugs. I don't really remember anything solid from Friday. I did managed to operate the stove yesterday (not well as I scorched the back of one of my pans, but I got that clean today.) I'm having a little memory issue today, but I can at least drive. No more vicodan for pain and the twilight sedation medicine is working it's way out of my system.

Major shout outs to Deonn for driving me, feeding me, watching me and listening to my bullshit the whole day. I owe you one Deonn. To Jen for listening to my bullshit on the phone and making sure I didn't over do the pain meds. Appologies to Jill and Megan for receiving the drunk dialing calls and also putting up with my bullshit. Thanks go to Jeff for calling me and like everyone else putting up with my bullshit. Also shouts to Melanie for IMing me while I was waiting for the oatmeal to be done. (The stove was really hard to deal with in that state.)

Now my teeth are one color all of my friends have had too much of my bullshit and I can't remember a thing... You gotta love it.

guess who's back?

Ferry Ride of Apathy...

J.R. Hughson — 2006-09-20T15:08:00Z

We weren't apathetic. Noooo...

OK so first off there is all this street parking near the ferry terminals to Bainbridge and Bremerton. I was all stoked because cool all these spots. So I go to pay for them and there was a max time on them for 2 hours. We were going to have lunch at the streamliner diner and 2 hours was not going to cut it. I moved the car to the battle ship of urine breaking up through the pavement parking garage. Catchy name, huh? Part of the name is because it's built into a hill and it comes to a point to it looks like the bow of a ship sticking up out of the ground. The urine part comes from well... all the urine in it which as you might imagine has a bit of an odor.

So we walked on the ferry and took some photos. We walked up to the diner and had some awesometastic sandwiches. I had a crazy not good for me bacon avocado lettuce tomato cream cheese garlic (no I'm not making that up) thing with a salad. Jen had the tuna croissant from hell. It was all great.

Walked around and got back on the ferry to go back. Yes by that description it sounds like the 2 hours of parking would have been enough, but no.

On the way back I went into the head. (That's ship talk for bathroom.) OK I'm ok with the stand alone variety of urinal and the big long communal trough of piss that you see, but no urinal should be just long enough for you and your best friend to take a pee together. OK well no public urinal should be. These were short troughs with little walls to the side that would fit two guys (not being sexist. Ladies, if you wanna try, go for it.) That's just weird. It's like the love seat of urinals. I got over it.

So we're riding up front in the little chairs and a little message in the blogger to Phoenix's dad: DUDE YOU CHILD IS TOO YOUNG TO GO ANYWHERE ON THE FERRY BY HIMSELF LET ALONG OUTSIDE YOU JACKASS MUTHERFUCKER!

While we're sitting there the loud speaker comes on. I can't do this justice in text, but I'll give it a shot. Muster up the most apathy you can. I know that's oxymoronic, but give it a shot. Now say, "This is a drill"... HUGE SIGH... "Just a drill..." (now more Epstein Barr and boredom in your voice) "car fire... main deck section 3"... (more tired now) "If you aren't familiar with abandon ship on this vessel" (OK hold on a sec here. How many times has this vessel been abandoned? Oh honey I'm not sure how to abandon this particular ferry let's listen!)

"If you aren't familiar with the abandon ship on this vessel... now might be a good time to check it out." Check it out? Like the latest band? "Find one of the two passenger assembly stations" (Note he doesn't say where. We happen to be sitting right at one.) "...passenger assembly stations where you will find a sailor." He ends right there and I'm laughing so hard I thought my eyes were gonna fall out.

There was no sailor. We looked, no sailor. Maybe he was at a urinal built for two...

Just when you thought...

J.R. Hughson — 2006-09-16T01:13:00Z

I wasn't gonna post.

Few things. Tom: You're welcome, dude. And fucking call me if you have questions. Don't know what I'm talking about? Click here to find out.

Yesterday I was getting some Indian food take out. I was alone. I might have eaten in Tandori fire, but the place was crowded and I didn't have a book. So while I waited I was just aware of myself. Not for too long. Just like when you're made aware of something just in the edge of your vision. All of a sudden I was very aware of myself. I had a full sense of who I was, what I was doing and where I was going. It was very pleasnt.

Ah vacation

J.R. Hughson — 2006-09-14T17:04:00Z

I'm taking next week off. I'm taking a 1/2 day tomorrow. I can't wait. I'm not sure how much posting I'll be able to do. So you know, I'm not dead or depressed or anything like that. K? OK go back to your regular lives...oh right, sorry.
