Banged Up Mouth Tuesday

crossover_chickGonna try to sum up things fast as I need to get to bed for work tomorrow:
-->Got a good chunk written on "Fixing You" -- Alice just has a breakdown about how she should have recognized Bumby, poor thing. Everyone's running in to comfort her, but still, ouch.
-->Dentist visit went -- poorly. Getting there was all right for the most part (I did have trouble merging into another lane at one point, and we got behind some car that was weaving aaaall over the road), but the actual visit -- I have NEVER had that much trouble with X-Rays before. Mostly because I've never had them taken from so many angles before. I have a rather small mouth and a gag reflex that can get bad, so. . .and the hygienist wasn't very helpful. Kept telling me to breathe through my nose, which was decent advice, but the tone was rather condescending. My mouth STILL feels all beat up from the equipment. . . And then the doctor came in and started talking about me being down for some fillings! I was baffled until I remembered the whole "not-cavity" that happened on my last Thundermist trip down in Wakefield (where some spots showed up on my X-Rays, but not in my mouth -- dentist came to the conclusion some grooves in my teeth were showing up like cavities, but I didn't actually have any). He also said there's apparently a cavity in one of my wisdom teeth and recommended that I get it just plain old taken out, which is the first I've heard of that. And then I didn't even get a cleaning, which I thought was just standard for any dental visit?? *sigh* Between all of that, and Mom telling me that that particular Thundermist has horrible reviews, I'm looking for a new dentist. Think I've found one -- hopefully I don't have to go through the whole rigamarole with the damn X-Rays again. Don't think my mouth could take it.
-->Played some more BioShock -- I'm well into Hephaestus now. Got my main quest, got some threatening messages from Ryan, killed a bunch of Splicers (Insect Swarm is actually quite useful and I'm glad I got it despite the body horror), hacked some safes, and even successfully killed the first Big Daddy of the level. Making good progress now! We'll see what happens later.
-->Watched both of Linkara's latest episodes -- a semi-decent but sadly unfinished miniseries about Freddy's origins as the Springwood Slasher, and a pretty awful one-shot about a bunch of criminals robbing a drug store in Springwood, only to fall afoul of Freddy's predations one by one thanks to various forms of unconsciousness (either due to injury or drugging). Linkara's new storyline, the Contest of Champions, is looking pretty interesting though. Curious to see how it'll go forward. :)
And that was basically my Tuesday. Not exactly great, but it could have gone a lot worse too, I suppose. Okay, gotta hit the sheets now -- night all!
