I Can’t Win

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Sooooo… Last year, I decided I’d really step my game up oral-health-wise. You know, flossing and mouthwash every single day. And, this year, I go to the dentist and I am told I have six cavities that need filling. According to the dentist, my oral hyigene is really good, but I have really deep crevices that are impossible to reach or some shit (I do get seeds caught in them with alarming frequency). Anyhoo, all the cavities were single-surface, which I hear is the best kind of cavity to have. I need to stop eating so much sugar and acid (I mostly eat meat? (Anemia?)). (Is it true that orange juice has more acid than pop? Someone google this for me. I am too lazy.)

Actually, apparently, I might’ve had these cavities for years, because, according to my mom, my old dentist didn’t believe in filling in tiny cavities, preferring to wait and see if they got bigger. My new dentist likes to fill in cavities before they get bigger. One of the black dots he’s going to fill, I’m pretty sure I’ve had for about 10 years.

And, I might be getting my wisdom teeth out. I don’t think they’ll be coming in all the way anyway. Damn bacteria factories.

In other news, two years ago, I had a really bad experience with some asshole landlords and their asshole apartment managers.  Now the government says I deserve a tax credit for the rent I paid to them. The only problem is that I have to obtain records from the landlords to get the credit. I don’t think that the credit is worth enough to warrant dealing with these douches again, my mother disagrees. Someone remind me to stop letting other people read my mail.

Fish Are People Too!

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

We took my grandmother to the dentist and there was a fish tank in the waiting room.

There was this scary looking lady standing with her noise pressed up against the glass of the tank and she was saying things like: “These fish can’t possibly be happy!” “How would you like it if you were locked up all your life!?” “How can the people that run this place be so monumentally evil!?”

She had a horrible flaky bald patch on the side of her head, smelled of doodie and thought that the best way to prepare for a dentist’s appointment was to chew thousands of mints (the kind that are almost entirely sugar) with her mouth gaping open.

I think she’s right. We should let the fish go free and put her in a tank.
