On a slightly brighter note - looks like the dentist will be able to save my back tooth. I'd had a root canal and cap done to it years ago, but it seems some of the seal fell away and there was a bit of decay. Yesterday they pulled the cap off and took a look. They've already got me fitted for a new cap, which I'll get put on in a few weeks.

And that was the first time I've ever been gassed at the dentist. It was neat. But I had to explain to the assistants that "No, I always act this way. It's not the gas."
Lucky you. I can't have the stuff. It gives me panic attacks whenever everything gets all sluggish. It feels like I've been tied down and then everything in my nose starts burning and that's when I freaked out last time.

My childhood dentist did not believe in gas. Or shots. Or any kind of numbing. He'd just drill.
F!&+ing sadist.
WHAT THE HELL? Was he the guy from Little Shop of Horrors?
I flinch around enough even after I've been numbed, despite my best efforts otherwise. If someone tried drilling in my completely-unnumbed mouth, I'd probably scream and jerk away so hard that I'd end up with the drill in my tongue or cheek or jaw as a result. Then I'd probably end up kicking and screaming for a bit and run out into the lobby and demand a doctor who knew what they were doing, more likely than not.
And then you can bet like hell I'd sue.

I gave up on the whole green lantern franchise after that crap with Relic and the emotional spectrum energy being used up so the Green Lanterns have to try and stop everyone else from using it. It just got stupid.
Then again, I'm finding myself with less patience for much of modern comic books. Very few of these f!*@ers seems to care about telling a story arc in anything less 5 or more issues. All because of that trade paperback trend shit.

Rough night. Baby girl caught my cold and didn't sleep for more than half an hour at a time last night. Until about 0400, when we finally put some Vicks on the bottom of her feet and her chest, that helped her breathe easier and get to sleep for about 2 hours straight.
But I'm still working through my cold, so it was a bad night for mom, dad, and baby girl.

The worst was, he'd say stuff like "Don't worry, this'll hurt you a lot more than it hurts me."
Now if it was something serious, like a root canal or extraction, he might numb you up. But a cavity - hell no. Drill, baby! Drill!!
