Fillings. O Woe Woe, Fillings

[shanmonster]

I had two fillings today, and need to go back for FIVE more. I also have to get a sleep guard, as I'm destroying the fuck out of my teeth with my night time grinding. I've worn all the enamel off my teeth and have broken a couple of fillings/teeth with my nocturnal mastication. Argh!

To make matters more interesting, I had to take out my nose ring for the x-rays, and now I can't get it back in. Every time I try, when it starts to hurt, I start to brown out. Apparently I'm a total wuss when it comes to re-inserting my nose screw. Why does this make me verge on fainting? That's just whacked.

Ah well. Look at some links.

Behavior May Suggest We're Not Only Human: People share a lot of common behavioural patterns with "lower" animals. Who's surprised? Not me. You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel....

Men enter hip circles: An article on male belly dancers in Canada spotlighting Valizan (my dance bud!) and Viraj (my partner for the tahtiib workshop a few months back).

Extraordinarily NSFW: Kids, don't try this at home. And please, don't keep me in suspense, either.

Free Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe Albums: I was a big fan of Yrrwe Zsuzyrrwe back when I was music director of CHSR. If you like industrial noise, give 'em a listen.

Rabbit Poo: Probably NSFW. Random. Just positively random (thanks, balthcat).

Smelly feet? Here's a pad Two Malaysian salesmen are promoting alternative uses for women's sanitary pads: Sure. Why not?

Infants are able to detect the 'impossible' at an early age: Even little babies can appreciate the works of Escher.

A jumbo tusk for scientists: Probably the worst news pun I've seen in a while, this article talks about the dangers of artificial insemination among the pachyderm set.

Tree Spirit: NSFW. Naked people and trees make for interesting photos. I think it sometimes looks like the tree has massacred a nudist colony, but what do I know?

Nick Brandt: Gorgeous savannah photography. My favourite is the first one of the dusty elephant.

I Am Trying to Break your Heart: This deep-fried, bacon-wrapped, cheese-stuffed hotdog recipe is probably close to the Krispy Kreme burger in healthful benefits.

That'll do. The freezing's wearing off my tooth, and making me cranky.

WTF were they thinking? That deep-fried hotdog thing needs to be served on a stick!

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

How could it stay on a stick? Wouldn't the cheese act like lube?

My Thoughts...

Extraordinarily NSFW - Those are the bluest blue balls I have ever seen. I fear for that man's testicles.

Smelly Feet - I have a couple pairs of shoes where the lining on the inside has been sloughed off and they now rub my feet raw. I think I'm going to try putting pads in them and see if that makes them more comfy. Plus, this is getting me to think about fun things to do with sanitary napkins...who knew a Diva Cup would lead the way to all kinds of odd fun.

Tree Spirit - Is it just me, or does anyone else have that old song "Strange Fruit" playing through their head?! **shudder**

Those balls are scary, scary balls. I doubt they can pass on viable sperm.

I don't own any pads anymore, and my feet don't usually stink. Otherwise, I'd give it a try!

No, I didn't think "Strange Fruit," but now that you mention it....

The funny thing about the completely random bunny video? We have those masks in the store. You can get one for under $5CAD.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Are you saying a local made the video? Hmm! Maybe it's got to do with Beelzebunny!

zombiena is also having some enamel issues from tooth-
grinding. She has been told that braces to correct her
bite should put a stop to that, as well as possibly
some headaches.

Did I post the link to that article about the Ontario
guy who'd had to have all his teeth pulled because he
got free dental service, but not free orthodontics?


And, duh, we're little more than monkeys. However, I
did not know about the new stuff they've learned about
cowbirds trashing nests. I always figured birds were
just too robotic and stupid to get rid of the baby
cowbird. Sociobiology is awesome!

I do not want any more teeth pulled out. No no no DO NOT WANT!

Five more fillings is horrible enough.

I don't think my night guard will be covered by my insurance, but if I don't get one, my teeth will be worn to little holey stumps.

I have had almost all of my babyteeth pulled. I
had an extra permanent eyetooth pulled, and I got
my wisdom teeth extracted. But it fills me with
horror to think about losing the rest of my teeth.
I have known *far* too many people in Canada who
just get their permanent teeth pulled when things
are eventually so bad there's no other recourse.
But, man, ~32 is all you get!

I wish I were a wereshark.

Yrrwe doesn't sound as noisy as I remember. Is this remastered or am I just more used to noisey stuff now?

[balthcat.livejournal.com]

Pick a spelling.

[shanmonster.livejournal.com]

Dunno. I still have to listen to the other albums. But the couple of tracks I did hear sounded more melodic than I remembered. Maybe we are used to noisier music.

[balthcat.livejournal.com]

I listened to some of the ones tagged (original) and they didn't sound far off of the new mixes so... I guess that's it.
