You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

ION, I'm watching this movie on TV, and I think it has every actor born in the late seventies or early eighties. So far, I've spotted Kirsten Dunst, Gaby Hoffman, Rachel Leigh Cook, Heather Matarazzo, Vincent Kartheiser, Hayden Christensen, and Matthew Lawrence. And there are a few other people that I recognize but can't quite place.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Another think coming is the original form of the colloquial phrase aimed at someone who has a mistaken view. It comes from the old comical expression, If that’s what you think, you’ve got another think coming.

Just so you're clear. I mean, say what you want, but you're the new kid on the block if you're using "thing". And "pipe".

The idiom meaning soon to happen or appear was originally coming down the pike, not coming down the pipe. But both expressions are now widely used and understood.

OMG, it is never "another thing coming" never. Take that back.

Never ever ever.

If you think [insert erroneous idea here] then you have another think coming, because lo you are wrong like a wrong thing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Who has 2 thumbs and 1 less tooth??? THIS GUY!

Wow, I cried, the nice office lady held my hand, I got nitrous oxide (best part of the whole thing), and now I AM PART ZOMBIE. No, for reals: to prep the tooth...socket(?) for the implant, the dentist does a "bone graft," which is a nice way of saying they put powdered bone from a cadaver in your jaw.

I AM PART ZOMBIE. I couldn't be cooler if I even tried.

Also, of all the things you want to have sprung on you "I can extract that tooth right now," is NOT at the top of my list. I really wanted to have time to mentally prepare. You know, so I wouldn't break down crying in front of a dentist who had never met me before.

Good times. But: ZOMBIE!

Steph, I apologize, I haven't mailed that book yet. Have barely left the house in the last week. If you really want a Waterpik, I have one my sis gave me a year ago and I never even opened; I could stick it in the box for you? Somebody might as well use it; I ain't.

No rush on the book; I obviously haven't made you cookies yet. We can slack together! And my dental hygienist yesterday said no to the Waterpik, so I guess I'll have to double down on my efforts to floss. But thanks!

FYI, looks like Tom's tooth is coming out. It is also annoying because he just had a root canal and crown on that tooth which was super spendy a couple years ago (before moving down here, but not that long before). I think his theory is currently, "shoulda pulled that tooth out from the start." (before spending thousands of dollars on it.)

OHAI, my zombie jaw. The tooth I no longer have was the one I had a root canal on in May. I am lucky that all the pain started before I got it crowned, so I at least didn't have to fork over $$$ for a crown that would just get removed. But I'm SO GLAD I got to pay $600 for a root canal I enjoyed for 2 whole months. Woo.

OHAI, my zombie jaw.

Sadly, Steph and I continue to be as one.
