randomosity: "Unidentified" cover embiggened; weird dreams; earthquakes

[aesc]

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 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:

Nice!

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.

as;dkjdf;lkdjdlfkjdf OMG my mouth hurts just thinking about it.

the one upside (YES! there was an upside!) was that it put off the eventual root canal for another couple of years, which put off the eventual crown until i was in full time work, and could at least have some sort of chance of paying the £450 needed to get the crown made.

(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.
