Antonio!

So today was the big day; I finally got my wisdom teeth removed after months of complaining about them. Originally I feared having to remove them for risk of damaging the orthodontic work my parents paid for when I was younger, but in the last few weeks they’d actually started hurting my jaws. So this morning shortly before 10am I got knocked out (nitrous oxide + intravenous sedation = no recollection of the surgery whatsoever) and had all four of them pulled. I woke up with a mouth full of gauze, and no idea what the hell was going on. But Stacy watched over me for a few hours, and my wonderful prescription of percoset should take care of me for the next few days until I go back to work.

Just a quick thought: does the tooth fairy still come to visit when you’re all grown up? How much is a wisdom tooth worth anyways? I’m thinking with inflation and all that each one’s gotta be an easy $20, but it’s been a while since I lost any teeth…

My sister’s friend apparently has almost every SNES game in existence in emulated form on his PC, and while perusing his archive of games my sister found Mega Man X, the game featuring a character who was the namesake for my longtime screen-name on AOL, Chameleoid. Good times :)

Today also saw the 21st birthday of my friend Jake, whom I’d like to welcome to the world of legal alcoholism. He’s no stranger to liquor, and sure knows his stuff when it comes to wine, but henceforth he shall know the joys of drinking at the bar and not just at home. I’d drink to the occasion, but my medication (see above) just won’t let me :(

If you haven’t already seen it, go out and rent/buy Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; for an even better experience, go out to the movies and check out Garden State.
