They drilled holes in my damned teeth!

[elfs]

I can't remember what X-Files that line, "They drilled holes in my damned teeth!", is from, but it's on one of the soundtracks. And the Klaatu song I'm listening to has, as one reviewer put it, "backing vocals that sound like a bunch of horny alien girls." And the problem with that would be... ?

I had dental work this morning. After one of my molars came out last year, my teeth shifted, left a big gap between two where, well, where sugary things got stuck and caused rot so the gap had to be closed up. It hurts like John Tesh's musicianship and isn't nearly as lucrative. Despite the novocaine cancelling out even the tiniest of pain, it was a stressful morning; I got isometric exercise just being tense in the damn chair. But my dentist is quite professional and had me in and out of there in an hour or so. It wasn't until two in the afternoon or so that I could drink coffee without drooling myself.

And the pain has been distracting. I haven't gotten much done in the way of work. Grr...
