Whee! Sleep thirty minutes, awake thirty minutes. Sleep. Wake. Sleep oh my god the pain get me another happy pill.
I've been reading the 'Captain Atom' comics from DC. Read in order (I'm missing only five or so) they're really damn good. Incidents and minor characters in earlier issues explode into major plotlines and confrontations twenty, thirty issues later.
Lori, why aren't you at chat?
Jay's being quiet and Hole is talking about sex.
With this giant fucking hole in my mouth (two) I have to eat soft foods. No croutons, even. Life suck. On the other hand, I'm extra bitchy on Vicodin! BR>
Sadder news, my grandpa had an iffy encounter in the hospital. He's back home now.
Alt.support.childfree is a fun newsgroup. I can't tell my grandpa that. He's the atypical Catholic guy. Today I'm scheduled to send him another letter. (I wrote it down in my schedule). I don't mention religion. I'll probably just talk about my teeth.
The x-ray roxors. The wisdom teeth areas look like someone knocked over Stonehenge.

Went to the dentist. Forgot the map. Got lost.
It wasn't the typical dentist office. Machines loomed up out of nowhere. They examined my pitted ruin of a mouth, discovered holes where the wisdom teeth shot through and zapped my mouth with radiation. I now have super powers and an arch enemy called Dr. Manical.
I also have a prescription for Vicodin! Yay!
05.17.2001 Thursday
I saw 'The Mummy Returns'. It's actually pretty damned good. It could have been better by eliminating some of the pointless sai battles and explaining the reason for the kid's poncy, 'You suck', English accent but what the hell. I enjoyed it.
Most of the rest of the day was spent in pain and trying to make the dentist office understand that I needed an appointment.

Right after I wrote the below I went out shopping with my mom. I bought me a Grand Moff Tarkin action figure for a buck seventy five. I got 'Godzilla' with Broderick for six bucks.
Wal-Mart had it for $6.41. I found that funny.
I also, with caution, got Terry Pratchett's latest, 'The Fifth Elephant'. It's leagues better then his other stuff.
I thought about linking to amazon with that book title but I hate Amazon for many reasons. One, they have the worst user interface in the history of the galaxy. 404 pages are more useful then them. Fuck 'em.
I also got a bunch of food from K-Mart. I know, but I was right there, my teeth were hurting and hell, they had halfway decent prices. Half the grocery section was completely empty. I'm still not sure why. It was fun seeing ads on the floor in front of empty shelves.
Yes, my life has been incredibly boring for the last week. Absolutely nothing I want to record for posterity. Today Eddie my dog has become more affectionate. He actually hopped on my lap for an ear scritch.
P.S. Dear Mortis. That's what the THREAD link is for at the bottom of each Horsehockey episode. Take a look. It lists all the episodes startinf from Episode 1 that leads up to the episode you are reading right now. And if that still throws you, just start at Episode 1 in the first place and read from there.
What kind of business goes to lunch at 1:30?
05.09.2001 Wednesday
I went to get my license renewed. I had to lie to the clerk [1], stand next to a lunatic[2] and be forced into a horrible picture[3].
The place had vines growing all over the inside of the building. Very strange.
I also discovered that by refusing to take a breathlyzer test you will lose your license for one year. I discovered this on the receipt for my license, after it was created.
[1] You had to get it changed in one month. I've been down here for about a year and a half.
[2] It was mostly the clerk who gave the imperession he was a nut. He was very mad that he was being screwed over by the goverment yet again. The clerk kept telling him not to swear, yet I didn't hear one swear. Very odd.
[3] I asked the guy if my hair was okay. He assured me it was. I'm sorry, but half my hair sticking straight out sideways is not okay, not in any sense of the word. Bastard.
I also ate at Country Kitchen, a family resturant. Despite this some old fart asked a waitress if she was married and when she said yes, if she was satisfied. What the fuck kind of question is that? Quite naturally I had to murder the man with his eating utensils. It's such a bother dispensing justice these days.
05.08.2001 Tuesday
I went to the coolest comic book store in existence, though they didn't even have a cash register. Yikes.
I'm seeing what I can do, re, getting info on a subsidy program I heard about for registers.
The store has been there for 11 years so they gotta be doing something right but still.
I also discovered something a bit disturbing. Some comics are smaller in height then other comics. Sheesh. I know it's to save printing costs but they should still warn the customers. (I didn't pay full price for these tinier comics but still. It's the principal).
They had this great huge husky type mutt named Rowdy. He ran out of the back and sniffed me. Then he wanted me to kick his cardboard tube around. I did a little as they rang up my puchases. He loved it. I think he's a puppy though he's bigger then most tanks.
As I left he triple-sniffed me then put his paws on my chest. But he knew 'Down' and listened. I would have bought that crazy dog if I could've.
It threatened to rain all day but did not. Now that's something I want to have recorded for all time. "It didn't rain".
I'm scared to go walking in the woods behind my house now. I still remember the news story about a rattlesnake not making any noise and chomping down on a golfer. Who knows if there are snakes out there with enough good taste to leave the golfers alone?
Only in Florida can wide open fields have 'No golfing' signs. The snake snack was on a regular golf field, this is just something I saw across from the library. They have a wide open space big enough to plant a stadium in. They also have free shit.
I'm not kidding. One of the services our county offers it's residents is free compost on the field across from the library.
Speaking of such, I wish people would close the magazine recycling bin so others, like me, can root through and not hit wetness a foot down.
05.06.2001 Sunday
Well, I went to Busch Gardens. There were many highlights. The Martin Short acted 3-d ride where he was like all of twenty years old was pretty neat. The horror elements of what just seemed to be a humor ride were unexpected.
There was Old Joe, a croc who had to be locked up 'cause he kept wanted to eat astronauts. (I swear it's true).
There were several roller coaster I decided not to go on as I am scared and cowardly. People go upside down for pete's sake!
I gotta say, the kid's area looked fun and inviting but since I had not mini-half clones of me, there was no excuse. And it was one of the few kid's play areas I've ever seen that had actual room for the parents! Which is cool. If Juinor starts bellowing, how can the parents reach them through the crawl tube that is smaller then most garden hoses?
Mostly I saw the animals, which consisted of scary gross things behind glass, tiny birds, furry things behind glass or apes larger then most city blocks. (Damn things were huge!)
I still don't know what the 'Fun Cards' are. The importance attached to them means they could be anything but loyalty discount cards to cures for cancer.
I battled some weird-ass cold/fever the whole day. It was okay. There were lost of places to sit down and rest and buy overpriced sugar water. And the bathrooms were clean.
Clean, but not well designed. Somebody's gotta be drawing up these restroom sketches that have everyone's business hanging out at the most conveinent view on purpose. It's disturbing.
05.05.2001 Saturday
How come none of you freaks are signing the guestbook?
There is no need to sign up for it. You could impersonate anyone you want and call me a doody-head.
Anywho, in other news less then 24 hours to go to Busch Gardens. I discovered it's more of a zoo then a theme park but what the hell. I like zoos.
05.04.2001 Friday
The main page here just won't update. I don't understand. It's very confusing. This page you are reading right now updates beautitfully.
I've recently been raked over the coals in alt.peeves. It's a hoot. Apparently the people behind the counter are supposed to be perfect, all-knowing automotons and I'm a dorkus malorkus for arguing against that.
AOL has a killfile for their internal message boards. (Which they have many of, on any topic). Somehow the worst trolls and jerkfaces know of a way to be immune. And AOL tech support has no idea what killfiles are at all.
This Sunday I am traveling with my mom to Busch Gardens, where I will ignore all the really cool rides because I am full of intense fear and cowardice.
05.03.2001
Randstand Temping Services has decided to try the amazing profit possibillties of losing potential worker's information and thus not being able to send them to any jobs whatsoever. I got a few other possibillities lined up.
My dogs have it in for me. How else to explain them waiting until the *exact* moment for me to fall asleep and then literally SCREAMING at the strange noises they hear outside?
05.02.2001
I really sometimes hate the web. How can anyone possibly tolerated opendiary.com where they claim copyright on all your diary entires? That is just messed up. Reaaaly messed up. And that other diary/message board (click here) well, suffice it to say with a T1 line it comes up slower then, uh, slow things. (Hey, it's 2 in the morning. I think. I had a power outage).
I went to the library today and bought a bunch of social issues books.
Below is a guestbook where you can bitch about me. I don't think you have to sign up.
Well, it looks like you don't have to sign up. Beseen dot com saves the day yet again.
In other news, what happened on ANGEL after Cordelia lost all common sense and did what she did in the library reading room?
Sunday I should be going to Busch Gardens as part of my birthday present. I rule.
