So it's been a while since I've actually sat down and just blogged about non-news topics.

So what can I say? There hasn't been too much going on.

Superbowl Sunday didn't interest me that much - obviously I'm not a football fan. I spent more time watching the Super Tuesday Primary results than on Sunday watching football. (My guy did really well, and I'm pysched and hopeful to see him win the nomination.)

With my wifey in between jobs right now, we didn't have a laptop anymore. We're both lazy and like to surf the interwebs while watching television. We were tempted to buy a laptop, but I ended up getting a laptop from work instead. The laptop is a decent size and it has like 4 gigs of RAM! (I create and manipulate a lot of large graphics on a daily basis.) Hopefully this doesn't mean that I bring more work home.

While I got a laptop two weeks ago, we were out at Best Buys this past weekend and found a smokin' deal on a Compaq laptop. We we bought it! So now we have a new laptop at home! Yay! At this point I'm not really impressed with Windows Vista, and I'm still trying to figure out how to use some of the Office 2007 features.

I had to goto traffic school last Saturday. I got caught by a photo radar camera - 11 over the speed limit. I swear, it's a scam. Just another way to generate revenues without using police resources. I got it in the mail a few weeks later. Some swear that you can ignore them, but sooner or later they'll find you. I figured it would just be easier to to take the stupid class and get it over with. It end up being 5 and a half hours of detention. We watched a video, the instructor gave his whole schpeel, and then there was a Q&A... a basic waste of a half of a Saturday. Fun - fun.

Speaking of fun... my tooth/jaw/body aching has finally gone away. After a week of pain and feeling like crap I finally feel 100% better. Even my jaw/teeth don't hurt a single bit. I can even chew with that tooth! Yay... root canal #2 worked wonders! And I guess I suffered from a short, minor bug/flu for a few days. Thank god all that went away!

And finally...

Happy (Chinese) New Year! (Chuc Mung Nam Moi)

(Ok, I cheated, my wifey just gave me the Vietnamese the translation)

First thing:

Happy Birthday sweety!
My wifey turned 21 (for the 7th time) today.
Wish her a happy birthday here


So yesterday I had a root canal done. Today I have the flu.

WTF???

I woke up with a burning fever and aching all over.

Why? Why the hell did it have to hit me while recovering from my root canal??

This sucks ass.

I tried going to work today, and I ended up staying for about 2 hours. I felt like ass, so I went home and slept for most of the afternoon.

This sucks cause my wifey and I are going to dinner tonight to celebrate her birthday!

I guess it's time to load up on the dayquil! ;n)

After a weekend of sporadic tooth pain (ranging from aching to excruciating pain), I called the dentist this morning. Luckily they were able to fit me in at 10am.

I knew what was in store for me. I just knew it.

My premonitions were correct and within 90 minutes I left with a root canal performed.

The actual root canal therapy wasn't that painful. The most pain came from the injections of anesthesia. I think it just sounds worse than it really is.

Of course I'm sick, so I had to see what they actually do to the tooth. All I could see was the evil-looking instruments they use. (Good ol YouTube)




At this point my mouth is beginning to really ache!

... time for more Hydrocodone! :n(
