Feelin a little weird.

Four wisdom teeth pulled this morning, and I had to miss the Spaceship v. the Mustang trial, which I was looking forward to.

Although, I have to say, I like whatever anesthesia they used during the surgery. It was an IV, which I knew going in, and honestly, was what I was most concerned about. I’ve never had one of those before, and I’ve had a terrible fear of needles for all my life (which I’m slowly getting over).
But this stuff is awesome.
Not two minutes after they stuck it in me, I was out cold. And for those two minutes up to that point, you can feel it going to work. Very cool feeling.

The surgury was about an hour long, and I guess thats about how long I was out, but I can’t remember anything else until I got home.
Apparently, we stopped at Stop & Shop to pick up my meds, and we stopped at Everything Ice Cream where I apparently wanted a milkshake. I don’t remember any of this, though.

But seriously, if I ever need to get anything done, I totally want this IV thing. Love it.

I’m on vicodin, which I gotta say, is really over-rated. You’d have to take a ton of these things to get a buzz off of them. They do well enough to ease the pain in my mouth, but I’m pretty level headed and not at all loopy.

Now the unpleasant stuff.

I was about 15 minutes late on my second dose of pain-killers, which resulted in my mouth hurting like it had never hurt before. If you ever gotta get your wisdom teeth out, make sure you don’t miss them doeses.

I had an ice pack on each cheek for about 8 hours today.

I still can’t keep food down. I puked up most of my milkshake earlier today, and most of my dinner between the Fractal Recursions and The old man and the tree posts. Its mostly from swallowing too much blood, I think.

So, all in all, much fun…or something.

The good news is I’ll be updating again. I might also try to do some backend work on this site since I’m too messed up to really do anything else.

If you see me on IM, please, bug me. I’d like to talk to people.

Well, I’m back…and I had a good vacation…but

I just found out I’m getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning. poo

Don’t worry, as long as I’m conscious, I’ll update.

So I’m going away again. I leave later today (July 30th) and I’ll be back August 7th.
EDIT: Not leaving until tomorrow, the 31st. Not sure how my family screwed up that little detail, but whatever.

Joe is in charge of the news stuff again, and he’ll be approving any submissions you…submit.

Also, to whoever wins the contest, if you don’t want anything in the stores, or want me to change something, or make something custom, I’d be happy to. But, you’ll have to wait.
I’ve been meaning to revamp the stores for some time, but I haven’t been able to get around to it.

Its on my to-do list, along with blog comments and some other backend stuff.

Also, Dukes of Hazard opens next Friday, August 5th. Dunno if you guys want to do a screening of that, but if you do, you’re going to have to plan it on your own. Use the forums, they’d like the attention.

Oh, right, one other thing I wanted to mention. Radio Paradise, which I posted earlier this week, is amazing. At first, I had liked it enough to post it. But then I started to listen to it for extended periods of time, and its really, really great. Highly recommended.

Well, Joe’s intarweb is being spazzy on him, so I guess I’ll plug this show for him.

I thought I’d let you know my internet is being bothersome these days. It doesn’t load very much of anything, and when it does, it does slowly. I’m surprised it even lets me check my e-mail. So if you don’t see me online for awhile, that’s why.

MacBeth is playing Thursday through Friday, 7:30 PM, at Oddfellows as usual. Tickets are the usual price that I forget, but it’s something like $10, but less for students. In my brief year at the playhouse, I’ve come to expect the shows to fill up quickly, so call to reserve your seat. (860) 347-6143.

I’ll be there tomorrow night, so anyone else there make sure to say hi.
