Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I also saw something the other day about how TVTropes removed fanfic recommendations from its site in order to comply with Google AdSense or something.
"Huh," is mostly what I thought.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
(TVTropes fic recommendations strikes me as a massive clusterfuck. It's an interesting resource, but the curation is for shit)

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
He's a bigger douchebag than ours! Hardly seems possible, and yet? Marc has four kidneys. ION, the "writing" on Facebook hurts my brain. The lack of structure...the phonetic spelling...I've already got brain damage, people, have a heart.

Did anyone see this [link] Sound familiar?I was just starting to lurk when the "sock puppet" incident hit here. It delayed my posting a bit. I was very confused. NoiseDesign & Pix kept urging me to hang with it, that it was worth it. They were right.

In Objectivist-C, an object — every object — is an end in itself, not a means to the ends of others. It must live for its own sake, neither sacrificing itself to others nor sacrificing others to itself.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Who has 2 thumbs and is very likely going to get a root canal (#2) tomorrow? I swear I practice good dental hygiene, but needing a root canal makes me feel like I belong in the Big Book of British Smiles.
The tooth that had a cracked filling in February has been intermittently sensitive to pressure since then, but no actual pain, per se. And no sensitivity to temperatures. So it hasn't concerned me enough to call the dentist.
Today -- still no tooth pain, but a TON of pain above the gumline, and my cheek is a little swollen. I am no dummy, and the word "abscess" is hanging above my (swollen) head. So I called the dentist this afternoon, and they want to see me at 7:40 tomorrow morning (well, now it's *this*morning). I'm assuming root canal. Which I don't want, but I also don't want a horrible infection in my head. So.

I had three root canals. Three of my four lower front teeth.
Played pickup football with my friends in high school without a mouthguard and got my face kicked in a bit.
It's not that bad compared to what it used to be. It's mostly kind of strange that they're (literally) rooting around inside your tooth for such along time. But they use a ton of painkillers so you'll feel nought.

Also, while poor dental hygiene increases risk, sadly great dental hygiene is no guarantee. Genes, whether the nuts have kept fluoride from contaminating precious bodily fluids in your area - all sorts of things.

Random thoughts, as I try to fall asleep (and we see how well I am doing this). Something for your entertainment as you wake.
Back when I finished grad school, and moved in with my father, he gave me the "adult tour" of the house. Being the paranoid guy that he is, that meant a tour of the place showing all the hiding locations of firearms. Yes, my father was ready to "run n gun" better than Halo. It was creepy. And I say that as a gun owner!
Why does this random thought pop in my head. Well. I noticed that I have a similiar situation in my apartment. Except the object in question isn't a firearm, but rather FLASHLIGHTS! That's right. This theater geek has LED flashlights all around the house. Keeps one in his pocket at all times. One by the bed. One on the table next to the recliner. One in the car on the driverside visor. Also, one in the center console thingie in the car. Oh, and the shaky/no batteries flashlight in the back seat map pocket. And then, there is one at the office. And a whole box of them in the closet. I guess, in earthquake country, I'm more worried about loss of power than someone gunning for me. But, I couldn't help but notice the similarities.
OK, let's see if this "turn off the iPad" notion helps ya fall asleep, like the experts claim. Pfft. Given how many times I've fallen asleep with it ON...
