teeth, and other stuff

getting a crown is kind of weird. in the first place, it's a two-step process. they have to send an impression of the tooth off to 'the lab' before they can actually give you a crown, and this takes around two weeks.
anyway. what they do is, they whittle the tooth down to a nub, and mount a temporary crown on it for that couple of weeks. it's... weird. i haven't had this much metal on the outside of my teeth in... count count count... ten and a half years. creepy. it tastes metallic, and i think that drinking a coke for lunch has had an astringent effect on the gum around it.

whee. my baby sister is getting married this weekend. the only positive aspect of this is that i'll get to see my aunt susan, who i haven't seen in years... not since robert lunsford's wedding. (come to think of it, i haven't seen robert since then either. hmm.) anyway. it's kind of irritating that my paper is due next monday, but them's the breaks. maybe i can get it finished by thursday night. it could happen.

(no subject)

so i was all set to complain about the weather in this stupid town, how it can't ever decide whether it's going to be cold or roasting or pouring down rain... and i get in the car to go to work, and as i'm going over the little hill out of the apartment complex, i am presented with the most gorgeous sunset i've seen in years. wow. golds and purples and clouds and... wow.

the wimps at work have turned off the air conditioning. in an apartment with as many computers as this one has (fifteen, i think) this is tantamount to turning the heat on. bah.
