It's been quite a while since I last posted, but stuff's happened: got a job cleaning offices, my parents were here for the summer, and just I didn't feel like I had anything to post. But today I do: I'm experiencing some discomfort after having four teeth on the left side of my mouth pulled this morning at the dentist. Never had teeth actually pulled, but these were all broken for years so I felt that I should impart some of my now quite steady income to fixing my mouth. And despite the misery I still feel when I swallow (though it's milder now that I've taken some ibuprofen), I forced myself to go to work for several hours. My supervisor probably thinks I'm crazy, but I feel like she's been doubting my work ethic so this should prove that I can work hard and get stuff done. Two of the teeth pulled were wisdom teeth, so it must be good that they're out and they came out in one piece; well, they'd been broken already for years because my dental hygiene has clearly not always been what it should. There are still a couple teeth on the right side of my mouth to be pulled, but I will put that off for a month or maybe two; they don't bother me like the others did when I eat sweets. And I need to recoup my losses: $200 for the teeth and some prescription antibiotics and Vicodin (now I can find out what House was all about) and then $55 for my car's quarterly oil change. Yeah, got that done too since I got off work early.
I'm glad Labor Day is coming up; I won't have to work and I have some MST3K DVDs I borrowed from the library that I need to watch. I could watch them after work, but my scheduling is taken up by stuff on TV like Duck Dynasty (I love that show!) and Face Off and some other odds and ends. I watch about half of what's on Adult Swim's Toonami block now and I don't much care for the stupid Bleach filler. If the story's done, it's done; leave it be. I'm not overly wowed by Sword Art Online, but then Slayers has likely spoiled me for all other sword-fantasy stuff. And isn't SAO just kinda like dotHack? Never watched that much either, but it strikes me as such. Though now that Viz and Funimation have rescued a lot of the Bandai titles, maybe Toonami could rerun some of them? I mean, I own all of Scryed, but put something like that back on; it's like X-Men (only I think it has some better points) and people like X-Men, or Wolverine at least. Closing joke: when you watch that recent 'Wolverine' trailer and some guy asks Wolverine who he is, did anyone else think he should've bust out with "24601!" Hugh Jackman missed a golden opportunity.
