in and out, 45 minutes, 4 fillings, no freezing! i gotta tell you, technology is a wonderful thing. i went to see the dentist for the first time in forever a couple weeks ago and he found 4 cavities that needed filling. so today i returned for the evil, yet necessary work. and when i get there he tells me that i don’t need a single needle, since he’s going to do all the work with his new fancy-schmancy laser. so he goes to work in there, burns out some teeth, hides some things, pours in the cement, tamps it down, scratches his initials in it, and i’m out and at work an hour early! saaaaweeeeeet! also, i’ve just won an appearance on a national tv show and just had my first photo-op for publicity. here’s a picture. there’s some subtle hints about what show i’m going to be on, so see if you can find them.
anyways, i have some blogs that i wrote when i was on vacation this weekend and when/if i get around to it i’ll put em up.

i’ve been thinking about adding a little thing here to talk about the books that i read (i read a lot…) and give a little mini-review, my impressions etc. and now that i think about it, i’m thinking why restrict it to books? why not talk about all forms of media that i deal with? movies, tv, music, spoken word, print, ads? i know that some people do this already, and it’s something that i do actually want to do, but you know.. i’m lazy… i need to work on my 100 things about me too.
there’s a pseudo things about me on the right (under ‘me’).

man, bbq’in is just it. it defines summer for me. i love it. i could bbq every night of the week, and want more on saturday. it’s just as good as it gets. this weekend was like the official start of summery weather, as far as i consider it. like, last weekend it was hot, and i wore shorts, but this weekend i got out my sandals and started work on my callous. (my sandals don’t fit quite right on the big toe, so i have to build up a little callous every year!) and i did some work in the yard. built a shelf to hold the a/c in my garage. played with the dog. played with the bean. friends came over and chilled out in the backyard. much enjoyment and relaxing was had by all. the bean had a chest cold, and asthma, and had to go to the er late saturday night, but who needs sleep anyways? “ahhhh, lazy saturday mornings… ” “homer, it’s *wednesday*” “doh!!”
