So, tomorrow they are going to pull that sucker out and in a few weeks they'll put in a new tooth. Oh, they also are going to yank out one of my wisdom teeth, while they're at it. With no insurance, this is costing me almost $1,500.

Shi-tty. My wisdom tooth has been KILLING me the last couple of days. I never really complain about pain...I just deal with it. It's painful to chew...I have to favor the right side of my mouth.

I asked my mom when I was gonna go into the dentist to get rid of the tooth...she says "you have an appointment for January."

Let's hope the pain goes away.

Planned a trip from June 26 - July 2nd. PA and NYC. Excited.

I sat in the rain and listened. It wouldn’t be long until my mind wandered, but for awhile I just wanted to really focus on the sound of everything. It bit hard. I could literally hear the moments when the rain had filled the gutters just enough to allow a little spill into the drainpipe. My hood was up, and the sound of the greater night was arid, far away, indistinct, and one of the most peaceful sounds that I can remember ever hearing. Drops of rain hit my hood from time to time, some deity’s atonal experiment in which I barely a tool and more of a toy. The eight-bit metallic report of each intersection seemed to simultaneously compliment and wreak havoc on the visual landscape. To my right, far down the block, something moved. By the time I had arranged my eyes more strategically, it was long gone, and I felt the slightest concern over what it might have been. I actually considered for a moment that it had seemed, from my periphery, to have been a person in a tree changing positions or something. I spent a long moment squinting into the foliage down towards the corner, where pockets of daylight from the church furtively beat back the night. The wind was up a little bit, but not too much to buy it. I wondered what had become of my people.

I semi-followed a recipe from the tv and instead of blending and making a paste I did this: chopped 3 green chillies, 4 spring onions, 4 cloves garlic and added it all to quorn pieces already cooking in cocnut milk, coriander, cumin and black pepper. DELICIOUS!

Was that the one on TV on Saturday morning on a programme about chillies? I made it too! My version had shallots, garlic, coriander, cumin, ginger and lime zest in it. Then the coconut milk of course.

This morning I was walking in to work, in a right grump about life and generally not digging the human condition. "Why is anyone happy?", I asked myself. "What in the hell is anyone happy about? Bah."

I walked past a woman with a beaming smile, laughing to herself.

"She's happy," I thought, "..... must be stupid".

I'm an arsehole sometimes.

I learnt that some people dont know when to not goe into other peoples shit.
A guy installed Mac OSX10.4.9 on one of the machines that back up our suites, and now the fucker doesnt work, and untill we get the all clear to upgrade the suites, I hve to manually do it, adding a whole hour onto the end of my day.
I now Leave for work in the dark and come home in the dark.

i need to add this to the fuck off thread

I've been asked to submit a piece for our company's internal newsletter about what's on my iPod. These people have been warned about what I listen to. It isn't always pretty. And I haven't felt particularly pretty in the last few weeks, so they're about to get a playlist that they'll regret ever asking about.

I just knocked some shite PJ Harvey wannabe off the office stereo and put Venetian Snares on instead. I don't think anyone likes it.

People have learned not to complain about what I play during my shifts, mostly because whatever music they happen to complain about, I just play something worse.

I just got the new Dead C record, so I imagine that will make it into the rotation this week.

Met a building engineer on the south side who has some drums I might get(hopefully they're good, and cheap, but mainly good).

I'm gonna watch a movie and lift tonight. Yay summer.
