Result!

June 29, 2006

Just got back from the dentist – it was exactly what I thought it was. Wisdom tooth shifting, then the gum got infected. So now I have some antibiotics to clear up the infection, and shouldn't need to go back for nine months, when he wants to check up on it. Apparently the tooth will […]

Words

June 29, 2006

Words I want to hear today: easy, antibiotics, painkillers, prescription, goodbye. Words I don't want to hear today: oh dear, extract, surgery, hospital, general anaesthetic, see you next week. Words currently running through my mind: ow, pain, it hurts, ouch, please make it stop. Words Apple's spell checker can't spell: goodbye. Words that look really […]

Yay! Dentists!

June 27, 2006

I have an appointment on Thursday lunchtime… in Dorset. Bit of a way to go, but whilst this is not my usual dentist (he only works two days a week), Mum recommended him, so hopefully it'll be ok. The tooth was hot and inflamed all night, so it's definitely not going to get better on […]

The dread sigil Odegra

June 27, 2006

OK… I think this is the most bizarre piece of spam I have ever received. Dearest Internet Personality, My name is Cabe Unger, and I have a passing interest in occult symbols. I am trying to spatially define the mythic “Odegra”, but have been unable to find matching illustrations from independant sources. I have thus […]

More glass shenanigans

June 26, 2006

So I went down to Kate's last weekend to play with glass and her kiln. it was nice to get out of London for a while, and even nicer to switch off and spend time making physical things. My first attempt – a large bowl – failed horribly. Making it is a two step process. […]

Death of Gmail

June 22, 2006

Gmail, for the last month or two, has started running like a one-legged dog. It no longer runs – it staggers. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, it crawls. There appears to be a permanently unresponsive script running which kills it, no matter which browser I use. Anyone suffering this? A friend of mine suggested that the […]

All's well that ends well

June 20, 2006

I've only had to call an ambulance a few times, and for those events the ambulance was clearly needed. Tonight, though, it really wasn't. Kevin and I got home from a nice evening stuffing our faces with sushi to find an unconscious man lying on the first floor landing in the converted terrace we live […]

Gnnar gffuffle

June 20, 2006

There are many posts I could write. Many posts I want to write. However, you're just going to have to make do with me bemoaning the fact that my wisdom tooth – the only one I have left – is shifting again. It's sore, and I keep getting the urge to start chewing on, say, […]

Shopping for clothes – Part II

June 13, 2006

So, after my rant the other day about how much I hate shopping for clothes, there came a straw which broke this particular camel's back. Before Christmas, I bought some new scaffolding from Selfridges. The day after I wrote my post about being a size 32doubleginormous, I was hanging out the washing and discovered that […]

Why I hate shopping for clothes

June 7, 2006

If you've met me more than once, you've probably seen my entire wardrobe. I'm not good at shopping for clothes – usually I have to be frog-marched round at gunpoint by my friend Kate. But I think I've figured out why. Well, an additional why to the why I already knew about. The fundamental issue […]

Negotiating shared playlists

June 2, 2006

T'Other and I have been living together for nearly three months now, and our single, shared neuron is as happy as ever. We find ourselves in agreement more often than not, but one thing that causes regular contention is the music we play. Music is really important for both of us, but our tastes are […]
