Random things

Spent a good chunk of Saturday waiting on my car. Went in to get the oil changed, fluids topped off, etc. and found I needed new front brakes. They caught them before I needed rotor work, so I only spent $170 instead of $500. *only*. Sigh. Wound up being a slug on Sunday, though I did get rid of a couple of printers I no longer need. Yay floor space!

Went to the new dentist and got my temporary crown today. The real one will arrive in a few weeks. The new dentist is good--very gentle, and as soon as I flinched he gave me more Novocaine. (Which was the real stuff; I got the bad jitters for several minutes after the injections from the epinephrine.) I was out in under 2 hours. Though my tongue is a bit raw from chafing and also from the leftover glue on the temporary crown.

Had a gritty headache from my jaw being held open so wide for so long but a couple of aspirin killed it, thank goodness.


Comic Con bits:
I've signed up for the Slasher's Dinner at ComicCon. I bought an Entertainment Book for San Diego mostly for the museum passes since I hope to be able to spend a chunk of Wednesday at the Gem exhibit. And maybe the Zoo. Or LEGOLand. Thursday I'm picking up my badge and going to WootStock 3.0 that night, but otherwise I have no other plans. Anyone who wants to meet up with me is welcome!
