Hey, it hasn't been THAT long...
Hello. I thought I would provide something of an update seeing as regardless 'tis the holiday season, we all seem to be just as apart as we usually are. So. Hm.
1. Well, I had my umpteenth oral surgery done yesterday, and, hm-guess-what? We STILL couldn't imPLANT the IMplant. Bugger. He just put in more bone (from God-knows-where) so that more of my own bone will just grow around it. BUT, because he's a North Dakotan and a nice person he didn't charge us for this surgery, which is a plus. So, what this means (because you all care) is if more bone refuses to grow (this is the second or third time I've had this done), I have to get a bridge, which means they file down the tooth next to it and basically cement the fake tooth to that one. :S I'd prefer not to have that done. (aw, 'Bartleby'!- ANYway) So, I'm mildly crabby about that, but I'll get over it soon, I promise.
2. Um, Christmas happened!
3. Amusing story: As a result of event #2., I received an iTunes gift card and spent an evening downloading random pieces of video and audio from iTunes music store. Long story short, I not only bore witness to my increasingly liberal views through the lens of my iTunes Purchased List (Barack Obama, The Dresden Dolls, Melissa Etheridge's song from "An Inconvenient Truth", MORE Indigo Girls, The Daily Show, Stephen Colbert's White House Correspondents' Dinner performance, etc.) but ALSO simultaneously downloaded The Iraq Study Group Report audiobook with the song "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Disney's Mulan. Teehee. I love growing up in the Information Age.
Anyway, miss you all, and if I don't see you have a very Happy New Year!
