So I have managed to survive my latest .... *drum roll please ahead of what might well be the worst pun in the history of mankind* .... date with dentistry! Bwahahahahaha! Erm, as opposed to destiny you see? Hm, oh well, you can't blame me for some mild degree of hysteria can you? Well, I suppose you can if you want but it isn't really going to ( Read more... )

What is a little puppy to do with a brain whose emotional responses would seem to be apparently impervious to either rationality or experience? A brain that likes to react, much like perhaps my entertainingly colourful title to this entry, in most excessively over the top fashion at certain particular challenges which I know full well pose no real ( Read more... )

Perhaps Marathon Man is not the healthiest of images to be conjuring with whilst having four of my teeth extracted but the thought still unavoidably came into my mind as I watched the dentist jabbing a variety of screwdrivers and pliers into my mouth. Unlike the beleagured Dustin Hoffman though I did at least have suitable quantities of anaesthetic ( Read more... )

The contrast between the packed streets of Whitby Goth Weekend and the quiet lanes I wandered through today was really quite striking indeed but after all the recent rigmaroles I've found myself embroiled in lately, I'm really quite appreciative of the relative tranquility I find myself enjoying now. Of course that isn't going to last since I'm ( Read more... )

My physical discomforts seem to have more or less diminished for the time being so for now I'm just back to the more familiar entertainments of my time old psychological flaws. Heh, it's not really been the most enjoyable few days lately but as we reach into November and start to reach towards the end of the year I find I can't really say there has ( Read more... )

Well the amoxicillin has been doing its stuff and the attractive swellings have all gone down and any pains would seem to have subsided. Of course I continue to take the beasts to ensure chasing aways the last of nasties but essentially I would seem to be a much more comfortable puppy. At least in physical terms anyways. The run up to my dental ( Read more... )

And, it would seem, into the infected fire as having seemingly just recovered from some unpleasant sinus infection, my gums choose to erupt with an entertaining abscess! Joy. Still, it can't really be denied that an problem I have with my fangs is all pretty much my own fault. Over the years, through my more depressive periods and beyond, my oral ( Read more... )

Finally, the last of the snuffle seems to have very nearly just about entirely left my system! Oh, but it really has't been the most enjoyable of days, indeed if anyone out there was looking for some way of passing the time then the influenza virus is not the distraction I would be likely to recommend. Still, I suppose if nothing else I did at ( Read more... )

So another weekend has spluttered to its customary close and a new week has unfolded its wings and taken to the air with all the elegance and grace of a swan, treading the top of the water as it strains to lift its vast bulk on great noisy wings. Such is life. I suppose though it was something of an interesting weekend from a certain perspective, ( Read more... )

Perhaps one complication arising from taking time out for my birthday is that this week does seem to have been somewhat unusually discombobulated, after taking some brief time out from my usual schedule of doing stuff and gaining a few addtional distractions, such that my brains have felt a little more overwhelemed with world than usual and so I've ( Read more... )
