randomosity: "Unidentified" cover embiggened; weird dreams; earthquakes
According to roommate, there was an earthquake last night--not the sort that makes bridges collapse or opens up huge gaping holes in the earth, just a wee gentle rumbling--but I slept right through it. I think that might have been because I had much more important things on my mind, i.e. an alarming dream where one of my old students emailed me and a bunch of professors saying he found this stuff and it looks kind of cool. It was some of my fanfic.
But. It was only fic in which characters were going or had gone to the dentist.
Now, I'm far from the most evil writer out there when it comes to character abuse, but I have been known to, on occasion, have them shot and left out in the desert, kidnapped and dumped in an alley, and infect their brains with nanites. However, I have never ever been so depraved as to make them visit the dentist, and I never will be.
Just for the record. (Also, he was really smirky about it, "oooh, see what I found, it looks neat ;-)" the little so-and-so.)
Anyway, onto normal things. Remember the tiny "Unidentified" cover? The one where you can't see anything? Yes. The madly-skilled![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlnamedpixley has run it through her amazing and mystical image-enlarging program and produced a version where you can actually see stuff. The resolution isn't perfect, but believe me, it's light-years better than what I could persuade out of Photoshop and, as I said, you can see stuff, so if you would like to get a closer look at Rodney's (Team-only because I was obsessed) board:

I once had a polyp - where the root grew through a hole in my tooth, and was exposed. the dentist - in his wisdom - descided not to do a root canal, but instead to chop the root in HALF and then put a filling in to fill up the hole.
"It might be quite sore for the next few days," he said.

(mind you said crown FELL OUT OF MY FACE about three weeks ago, and i need to see if i can see my sister's dentist to put it back in, since i just know my usual one will want to do loads of work privately, rather than through the NHS - which currently is free for me, because i am pregnant. so i am waiting for my little 'is pregnant, and doesn't have to pay for NHS dental card to come through the post, so that i can sort my mouth out. again. *sigh*
wow. that was *way* more information that you needed. oops.

I actually really need to go to the dentist because I am finally a full-time employee with real benefits. (!) But my dental insurance is stupid and all the dentists have degrees from shady sounding institutions and I was (more than) slightly scarred by Steve Martin as a child so I just don't want to go. Sigh...

Me too! Except for the cost, of course. :)
I have a completely bonkers Irish dentist called John who has a poster of Jim Morrison on the wall and a huge replica of a German WWI fighter plane hanging from the ceiling. I was there last week and noticed the plane was gone - John was very upset that he had to take it down because they were having a visit from the Healthcare Trust and it contravened health and safety!

So this earthquake of which many people on my flist are talking, I probably would have slept through it to. I have been known to sleep through Texas thunderstorms, which are loud, violent and terrifying things.
no subject
Now, those I could never ever sleep through. I grew up with Florida thunderstorms, which always terrified me, even after ten years of having one almost every day during the summer. Now it's Midwestern storms, and those are just as bad, with the added bonus of tornadoes :/
no subject
I love thunderstorms - when I'm at home and can stay there. What I don't like are hurricanes (which are a real threat) and tornadoes. I used to live in Illinois and, ever since the that time when I was a babysitting and the tornado sirens went off and I had to grab a baby and we all had to huddle in the basement I've been petrified of the things.
