Went to the dentist, broke a tooth
I went to the dentist on Monday because I had a tooth that was hurting. The dentist couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it even though there was something clearly wrong with it.
He told me it seemed fine.
He moved on to the cleaning.
Halfway through the cleaning I felt a sudden pain, and the dentist exclaimed something I didn’t catch.
There was some commotion. I was instructed to spit.
I was then informed that my tooth had split in two.
I suppose there’s no better place to have a tooth break than while already sitting in the dentist’s chair, but now I have to wait until September to get it fixed because everyone’s on vacation in August.
In other important life news, my pack of wool balls arrived and I kept one to play with (as you do), but it kept shedding all over my keyboard so I ordered some tennis balls to play with instead. They arrived yesterday.
In related news, I’m not allowed to juggle tennis balls in the living room anymore.
Notes Blog Housekeeping
I decided that having both the notes and the highlights in one feed was jarring so the link now just points to my personal notes. You can access the highlights from the navigation bar. If you want to see the whole feed (all categories) you can simply go to notes.ingriddiaz.com.
I created new categories for TBSOL (no posts yet) and Project: Midnight (1 post: The Midnight Letter).
All categories so far:
- Personal Notes (RSS) - Short-form content
- Highlights (RSS) - Article/book highlights
- TBSOL (RSS) - Notes on TBSOL
- Project: Midnight (RSS) - Notes about Project: Midnight (temporary title)
You can subscribe to the RSS feed of individual topics. If you only care about TBSOL, for example, copy the RSS link (right-click, copy link) for TBSOL and put that in your RSS reader.
If you don’t want to bother with an RSS reader and would rather have the content delivered to your inbox, you can use a service like Blog Trottr (free). Paste the RSS link there, give the email address you want to use, and voilà.
(Note: I’ve never personally used Blog Trottr but it should work in theory).
Entertainment
- The Collector’s Bounty event in WoW is over and I got 0 things to drop. To be fair, I didn’t play consistently enough, but even with enhanced luck I still don’t have any (sniff).
- I watched Dept Q on Netflix and really enjoyed it.
- I also watched S1 and S2 of Dark Winds and really enjoyed them too. I’ve now started S3.
- Also also watched: the Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 documentary on Netflix and it was very funny.
- Currently reading: Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan
Blaugust Challenge
I’ve been thinking about what I want to do in August in terms of blogging. I think I’ll endeavor to post every day, but maybe not do long blog posts every day. I’ll likely just update the notes blog at least once a day and stick to short updates. Longer posts here on Wednesdays as usual.
Last Things
- Did you know you could buy witch spells for less than $20 on Etsy?
- If you’ve ever wanted to publish something but didn’t have a website or blog to do it in, you can use VerbaMea — just write something here.
And in Conclusion...
...the end.
