dan and jesse both need to take more lessons from The Secret. Think HARDER about getting the journal and the crown back. Sheesh. What's wrong with you two?

COMEHERETOME, MISSIN' TOOF.

It worked. It's with me now. I have my fucking fake tooth sitting on my desk. It's kind of funny.

Last night I had a long dream about the Soprano family. Tony and Carmela were reconciling their differences (I haven't watched since 2003, so I don't know what's up) and uniting against an enemy of the family (actually a family member who defected). We staged a hit on the guy and we had a to go to Michael Jordan's restaurant to rendevous with him.

Once the guy realized he was the subject of a hit, he turned into a cat and ran away. We caught him, and Carmela and I pretended we going to kill him, but it seems that in Mafia 2.0 killing is passe, so we stuffed the cat/man into a tennis ball container tube where we decided to leave him for a few days.

At one point in the dream, Tony, Carmela and I went to a gay bathhouse, and we were required to check our fountain drinks.

Jesse, under that temp cap you need to brush and sterilize to keep bacteria down. Use mouthwash or a little peroxide. I've even taken the cap out and soaked it in peroxide and brushed it separately. It'll really collect food under there. Just keep it clean, and keep the tooth-post that's hold it on clean as well.

Use peanut butter to stick it back on. Jiff.

― Jeff, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 03:30 (nineteen years ago)

Jesse, you have an imagination for television. That is a million-dollar storyline right there.

Sex, violence, celebrity cameos (Michael Jordan), and a kitty in a tennis-ball tube. Everyone wants to see at least two of those.

xpost You took it off and put it back on? It's supposed to be glued in!

The dentist said to go easy on it--No gum, taffy, etc--so that it would not come off in the 3 weeks it takes the lab to make my permanent one. Since it's made of acrylic and therefore flexible,it can come undone easier than a rigid one. But it shouldn't have been THAT easy.

You're right about the food collection, even though I didn't even have a chance to find it out first-hand. But they leave a gap between the crown and the gum because the acrylic apparently will irritate the gum.

Something funny-- during the procedure I felt a sharp pain and raised my left hand to indicate "OUCH." The dentist said, "That wasn't your tooth that was hurting, it was your gum that I was cutting to get it out of the way."

There was some incongruency between their upscale office and location, their apparent pride their reputation as professionals (magazine covers featuring the Doctor/Dr. and his staff on the covers, with headlines like, "Staff of the Year") and the music in the waiting and examining rooms. It was all '90s, including "O.P.P." And the hygenist and the dentist talked about how the dentist prefers his women to be "kind of stupid," but they have to be HOT too, and Britney wasn't hot enough to be as stupid as she is.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 04:10 (nineteen years ago)

Eric-- I think that even the mafioso-turned-to-cat could work in one of Tony's dreams. Carmela abused the cat a lot before putting him in the tube.

There is a Sugarcubes song called "Dream TV" that could be about me (I'm sure I've told most of you already)--a guy is savoring the remains of a great dream he just had, only to realize it was just the plot of a TV show he watched.

I'm reading an article about yesterday's gangland killing of the mayor of Nagasaki:

Tetsuya Shiroo, a senior member of Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan's largest organized crime syndicate, was wrestled to the ground by officers after the attack and arrested, police said.

Scary! Imagine someone whispering in your ear "Yaaamaaa-guuuchi-guuuumi."

My youngest sis has been emailing the rest of my fam about the reactions she's been getting from frenchies over there regarding the Tech shootings, knowing she's american. They keep questioning her about gun laws here, the level of violence in our society, our close-mindedness... As I mentioned, she also lived in that dorm and was an engineering student (was in that building alot where most of the shootings occured).

Maybe I am just naive, but despite my problems with our political leaders, I see this tragedy as the result of one f'ed up person, not a society.

― KitCat, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

Jesse, mine never stayed glued-on the whole time, either -- they always lost stickiness before the appointed day. Hence all the cleaning.

― Laurel, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

Ok, I'm being depressing.

Tonight is grocery night. Recommend me a great recipe. Recently we've made spinach and roasted red peppers over polenta, artichoke heart & roasted red pepper pizza, Julia's spinach dip, and a fancy salad with pears in it.
Also, we need to decide where to buy said groceries. I'm guessing it will be Grand Mart again.

Because we all know that the French are infallible. Hey guys, how's your Armenian population assimilating? Oh it's going terribly because you're overwhelmingly nationalistic to the point of racist and incredibly xenophobic? K, thx for the criticism!

― mattttt, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

My sinuses have exploded.

― n/a, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

Oh no, Nick!

matttt, I wonder if other countries are having similar reactions.

― KitCat, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:51 (nineteen years ago)

I think you mean Algerian, homes. But the sentiment remains the same.

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I'm sneezing and dripping and congested. I'm trying to convince myself that it's just my allergies flaring up. I think that might be it, since my throat feels fine and it hit me so quickly.

― n/a, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

Nick, allergy time has got to be bad this year because I am usually unfazed by seasonal allergies and this spring I am very, very fazed. And snotty. God, the snot. Help me. Please.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

It's like my brain is liquefying and running out through my nose.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:03 (nineteen years ago)

I think you mean Algerian, homes. But the sentiment remains the same.

Yeh, and remember the case of that dude who didn't cry at his mother's funeral? Fuck you, froggies.

I had a swell of nationialistic defensiveness when a former manager at my work old me about the Irish's view of Americans: "Well, you're so ignorant of world events and so smug. And you're abrasive." The "you" in that sentence was ostensibly plural, she could put it in a lot of better terms.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

What dude, jesse?

― KitCat, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

Don't question me, you racist.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:12 (nineteen years ago)

morning guys.

I recommend the new Jarvis Cocker video.

― kenan, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

I like that I live in a world that also has Jarvis Cocker in it.

I meant to copy Matt's thing and make a joke about The Stranger but I didn't.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:14 (nineteen years ago)

Camus was not a bad looking fella.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

Some theater folks I've worked with are doing a really good new show called The Strangerer that kind of combines Bush and The Stranger and is set entirely during a 2004 debate, when he inexplicably attacks Jim Lehrer during a debate.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

I read about that, it sounded entertaining.

― n/a, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

Dan, Armenian is actually correct, too.

― sisut, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

I do think there's little to learn from random shooters and serial killers, but I can see how someone outside the U.S. sees our country as the place that produced Saw III and Abu Gahrib, and would try to connect this with that.

I vow never to share my last name with people again.

I did hear one person arguing that people in all countries have these same violent, psychopathic tendencies...but that in many of them it's much harder to get guns. Don't know if it holds any weight, though. The Swiss all have a gun in the home and I haven't heard of too many mountain rampages. Of course, they're probably too content...what with all the wine, cheese and chocolate.

― sisut, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

See also: Canada. Guns everywhere, rednecks abound, no shootings.

― kenan, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

i heard something interesting yesterday from a professor at northeastern, he said that these types of events usually happen in the sunbelt states, california and texas because those are the states that have seen the greatest influx of migrants and immigrants in recent years. he hypothesized that people moving across the country or across the world are usually doing so as a last effort and if they fail at that then they have nothing. and they have nothing in a new place without the support systems of home. it kind of made sense but there were some holes in it or if not holes at least some questions i had.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

I see, there is a much larger Franco-Armenian population than I had realized. The recent news in the country surrounding their population relates more to the recognition of genocide in Turkey, while the Algerian-related news is about bombings and unrest inside France.

― dan m, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

man, i shoulda got some mini burgers last night. by the time i got off the train i decided i needed to stop at the green-eye grill for cheese burgers. i had four cheeseburgers yesterday, i'm eating like shit these days.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

I think I might go get pad thai for lunch today.

― n/a, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

Get pad in full.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

I want to see this play. I have decided that Kenan does, too.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Jenny, I can do that. Let's make a date.

― kenan, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

Probably after my last exam in law school ever, which is on May 9, I think.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

In this party-time look at the heyday of Stax Records, the music is a foot-stompin' mix of soul classics and lesser-known numbers. The slender narrative, by David Barr III, is structured around fictional 1980 events: a 20-year Stax reunion concert and the imminent sale of a bar, Pop's Place. Jimmy Tillman's brass-heavy eight-piece band keeps the energy high, and under Jackie Taylor's direction the performers are funny and accomplished. Five dancers perform Rueben Echoles's savvy choreography

Sounds good

― Eazy, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

I'm supposed to review a bunch of Kate Bush songs for Stylus's Kate Bush Week, except it's sort of hard because all but a couple of them are pretty much straight-up awesome.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

You should write an entire review about how they suck and about how people only liked them because the singer was hot and because he's going out with Gwen Stefani and they just ripped off Pearl Jam.

― n/a, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

A friend of mine in high school had a t-shirt that read BUSH SUCKS and I was like, "That shirt's awesome, man. I hate that band, too." And he was like, "Uh, it's about the former president?"

― jaymc, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

HA!

― KitCat, Wednesday, 18 April 2007 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

why bitch about a former president? and why go for bush, i mean, christ, andrew jackson was a WAY bigger prick and murderer.
