I went to the dentist yesterday to get a temporary filling that should last until the new year. I need a crown on the tooth, but that costs just at the 4 figure mark, so I convinced the dentist to tide me over until after January 1, so I can use my Medical Flex Spending.

I didn’t even get a single shot of novocaine, because I’m a tough guy, yeah, right. I’m actually a big wimp, but I didn’t need any pain killer because he was working on the tooth that had the root canal done on it last month.

While Main Stream Media would have you believe that the majority of the country is covered with snow thanks to the ongoing blizzard, we here in the southeast experienced the return of fall today. After a line of thunderstorms blew through this morning the skies cleared and we reached the low 70’s. Donna and I went into work a little early this morning and because we were just ahead of that front we got to ride in with the top down. After work it went back down for the ride home. It will be back to winter tomorrow though, with a high of 54 and Thursday night’s low will be 38.

It has been almost a week and the top on the Emperor has been up the whole time because of a combination, cold, rain and cold rain, so still I don’t have to blog, but I saw something yesterday that I just have to mention.

While in Bed, Bath & Beyond picking out a new front door mat to use our 20% off coupon on, I spotted among the Snuggies and other gifts that you might give to a distant relative (one you don’t see too often, so you won’t have to worry about repercussions) an item that is just another small step of humanity towards its date with destiny and life aboard the Starliner Axiom – a motorized Lazy Susan for your dining room table.

In honor of unfriend being chosen as 2009’s Word of the Year by the New Oxford American Dictionary, I just did it to everyone I had previously “friended” on Facebook and MySpace by deleting my accounts on both services tonight.

So long, farewell, I hardly knew ya (sometimes literally.)

Can you say root canal?

I did not watch this evening’s episode of House. I will plan on downloading the torrent, so I can watch it in HD tomorrow. I understand tonight’s episode has something to do with a sick porn star and absolutely nothing to do with her having a root canal.

Same deal for Castle, don’t watch and download the torrent, their first suspect has airtight alibi, turns out he was having a root canal done at the time of the murder.

I need to buy a Nestle’s $100,000 Bar 100 Grand Candy Bar soon as the Emperor currently has 99,864 miles on the odometer. I’ll be careful to chew it up on only the right side as I wouldn’t want the soft, chewy caramel to pull out the temporary filling from my freshly root canaled tooth.

Modern dentistry is awesome, the hardest part of getting a root canal these days is holding your jaw wide open for 45 minutes straight, well maybe the second hardest after you see the bill.
