Month: July 2005

just a loose screw!

a few months ago, I had a dental implant attached to my lower jaw to replace two molars I lost due to decay many years ago. This morning I had to get myself up in the wee hours of the morning (I am so NOT a morning person) for an emergency visit to the dentist. I’ve been in a bit of pain the last day or two and my gum is all swollen, etc. I was a little concerned when my dentist wasn’t sure what to do, because the implant is fine as seen here in the photo of the computer screen x-ray I snapped while they went to work on another patient.

It turns out that after he numbed me up, and got a closer look inside, the screw holding the implant in place was loose!!!

I always knew I had some loose screws but….

glad I got myself out to the 9:30 to see them tonight. GREAT show. the sound was a bit distorted at the beginning of their set, but it was fixed and adjusted eventually so all was good.

the above pictures are what I almost thought about wearing to the show tonight. This t-shirt I bought back in 1992 when I saw Uncle Tupelo and Teenage Fanclub at the TLA in Philly with Joe Maida (shout-out!) I hardly wear it anymore since it’s way too big. back then I was even more self conscious then I am now and tried to hide in my clothes and in corners, etc.

we got two encores and I was able to see and hear both since Tom gave me a lift back to Arlington, and therefore didn’t have to rush for last train home.

Little Brazil at the Hut

First off, my new G5 arrived today and after 2 long weeks (ok, one of them was in CA so it didn’t really matter) of not having a computer at home and my only access being at work….

I’m back online and better than ever!!! woo-HOO!

I’ve a TON to catch up on, but I decided to celebrate my further plunge into debt, by heading out to Galaxy Hut tonight to see Little Brazil ROCK!!!

they were great and I’m so glad I could make it.

I held back on the photo ops though. I get a bit timid sometimes and don’t want to get too close.

I’m exhausted…must hit the bed, but I’ll be planning to post more often…I promise.

I went over to Erin’s for bbq and 4th of July festivities. It’s sorta become tradtion each year since living in Arlington.

Erin’s niece, Sadie was having fun with a sparkler after the main event fireworks. Sadly, she ending up burning her finger when she touched the end of the sparkler after it fizzled out! poor thing!

I think she’ll be ok, and instead of touching a sparkler next year, maybe she’ll just look at this picture instead!
