Out of the Blue

Been a while since I regaled you with tales of the teeth, but I feel a little behind the curve these past couple of says, so an explanation is in order (and, of course, it's a doozy). I'm suffering in the aftermath of a little oral surgery yesterday. After another flare up of the tooth I recently had root-canalled, I got to enjoy the joys of a repeat root canal, which included the removal of a crown post. As it turns out, there was the tip of a broken root canal file still inside there (thanks Dr. Toothy!), which, despite efforts at removal, ended up working its way up through the tip of the root and into my gum (this was not apparently the source of my re-infection, but rather a bit of a bonus). So yesterday I got to undergo an apicoectomy to remove it. I will not describe this procedure for the unfamiliar in deference to those with weak constitutions, but suffice it to say this was fairly unpleasant, and at the moment I look like someone gave me a really solid punch to the cheek. I've also been throwing up this morning from taking Vicodin yesterday… Rush Limbaugh or some other expert needs to write a book on how to eat those things without it upsetting one's stomach.

nin - (and other GW guys) you see that new video from yesterday? awesome.

Nope. I've been on the fence about it lately, though I'll probably just pick it up this weekend. And then try to finish some of the late-game Nightfall quests that I still have.

Damn it.

I can now but when I posted that, I had tried over lunch and got an error message that I had already collected my bonus.

Apparently it's back to the old way where every character on the account can get the weapons by typing /bonus.

I feel like an idiot. Sorry for the false alarm.

When you add the access key to your account, be careful which character you run the /bonus command on. The three weapons you get are all customized to that particular character.

You can't do that for all characters, like you could in the past?

Thanks!

No no no, don't believe so. I just setup my new computer, so it's GW-less, is what I meant.

Missed it, but got the preorder box at Best Buy the other day...
Gotta reload and patch that this weekend...

Is the BETA event this weekend? Crap. Gotta go get it then - or are they talking about the SNEAK PEEK event 3 days prior to release?

hmmm, I want the box to go with my other 3 boxes, but I would like to get the Special Mission Pack from ordering straight from PLAYNC. What to do what to do.....

i don't get why that "vegansexuals" thing was so funny to that dude.

If you listen carefully, when the female reporter first says "You are what you eat" is when he starts laughing, and then she says "we're on a new story". I think that is what he started laughing at, as it tied in with the previous story, in combination of knowing what the next story was. Sometimes once you start laughing anything is funny.

the chick's comment about them "being lonely" is lame. yeah, cuz there's only like 2 vegans in the world, right?

Some people have other issues that go well beyond their quest. They are nut jobs starving (hehehe) for attention.

i don't get why that "vegansexuals" thing was so funny to that dude. i guess maybe the name is pretty ridiculous, but what's so funny about vegans wanting to be together? the chick's comment about them "being lonely" is lame. yeah, cuz there's only like 2 vegans in the world, right?

and it's "vee-gun" not "vay-gun". at least he corrected her at the end.

Wired News: You've devoted the last six years to warning people about the catastrophic possibility of a near-Earth asteroid crashing into the Earth. Does this stuff keep you awake at night?

Rusty Schweickart: (laughs) Does it keep me up at night? Yes, but not in the way you're probably asking. I don't stay up at night worrying about an impact. I do stay up and work over in my mind various technical issues, and think about the work that needs to be done.

Bzzzt! Wrong answer. He was supposed to have said that he stays up all night at his telescope watching for asteroids, and yeah, the occasional glance at the moon and Jupiter..

Take them with food...toast, graham crackers, soup. The more the better unless for some reason your prescription bottle says no food. I was on Vicodin after major surgury a few years ago and had the same thing happen...woke up from a nap extremely nauseous. Taking them with food solved that problem for me.

Second, I once again question Dr. Toothy, and if he knows what he's doing...you need to seriously get away from him.

I smell a lawsuit.

Dr. Toothy has been ditched. I think I mentioned switching to a more local dentist some months ago. Not before Dr. Toothy left that file in my tooth though.


Aaaah (mild pun intended). Good for you, then!
