well, i am taking a vacation day tomorrow... to head to the dentist at 10:30am... haven't been to the dentist in a couple of years. yeah, i said it, a couple of years --- oh, don't get me wrong, i brush, i floss, etc. but i haven't been able to nail down a good dentist in a number of years since my best dentist that kept the cavities away from me died about 6 years ago...
i've gone to a few since. the worst was on west 10th street in nyc about 5 years ago... i picked the place because all the doctors in there were irish.
good call, erin...
< sarcasm >
since the irish are known for their spectacular teeth.
< /end sarcasm >
that dentist, jayzuz... i wound up having to get a filling and the guy - whilst singing showtunes, i kid you not - shot my bottom right gum/molar up with novacaine and then proceeded to drill my top left molar....
when i mumblescreamed "SDDAAGHHBBB!!!"
[translation: "STOP YOU CRAZY SON OF A...."]
he kept drilling and said: "Oh suck it up, we're almost done here."
*sigh* i used to love going to the dentist... alas, after that SOB, i kinda have a bit of an adversion to them...
although, not so bad a complex about them as my dad has... he's corrected his fear by having all of his teeth pulled out about 14 years ago and was fitted with dentures.
nope. his teeth were perfectly fine, he just didn't want to go back to the dentist again... yep. that's me dad!
so, tomorrow... (actually, today) i am heading to the dentist... then i am heading into the city to be at my friend Cathy's by 6:30pm...
a few of us are headed to the Burger Joint at the Parker Meridian (headed to on st. pat's day... see here ) and then......
then.....
we have tickets to the 10:35pm showing of Harry Potter!
so, i am staying over Cath's and then saturday i am letting her meet Phooka and we're heading out for a drive...
cannot wait to have that crazy slick clean teeth thing going on tomorrow.
