The Worst Pies in London

[wednes]

Not much going on with me these days. Went to the dentists today only to be told that my flossing skills suck. So I'm gonna buy one of those flossing handle things that people are using these days.

Went to Hollywood video, where I bought Sweeney Todd and Cloverfield for a scant $20. So pleased was I with my savings that I went ahead and ordered Season Three of LOST on DVD from Amazon. I've been wanting to watch the finale again, when Hurley busts in in the VW bus and saves everyone. Such a great episode of a rather marginal season. I also learned that Season Four of LOST doesn't come out until December. Drat. I kind of wish I had taped it, but then I wouldn't want to buy it when it comes out. And the Special Features are gonna be rad. Speaking of Sweeney Todd, I never realized that was Borat who played Pirelli, the mean barber who hit Toby.

I have to give yet another sales presentation at work Friday. This one is on the prevention of Buyer's Remorse, which is a boring topic to say the least. Nonetheless, I made up a game including some role plays, and an informative handout which should cover my obligations. I'm also supposed to find an appropriate tapes call to play to illustrate good technique, but for the life of me I haven't been able to find one. Maybe that fact can illustrate the point that we all need improvement.

So I guess I'll spend the better part of my evening watching Johnny Depp sing and kill people.

By the by, I don't think I'm ever going to put together that Dulcimer I got as a kit. I'm just not motivated enough, and that's all time I should spend writing. Besides, I already have a student dulcimer that I like very much. So if anybody wants it, I'll sell it for half of what I paid, which would be a scant $30. Any takers?

If you find something that actually is effective for flossing, you be sure to point it out. I just go to the dentist every 3 months (instead of six) so the dentist can't mock me or my poor flossing skills.

Really?

I wish I could afford to go that often.
Anyway yeah, I'll let you know how the flossing handle thingy works after I get one.

hey i would love to buy that dulcimer kit off you, it actually makes a dulcimer? When where how can i pick it up? maybe then we could actually hang out:)

The kit makes a lap or "mountain" dulcimer out of, I think walnut and spruce. I live over at Pheasant Run which is off Stone School between Ellsworth and Eisenhower.

If it makes you feel any better, I too am abominable at the flossery -- oddly enough, I've never had a cavity despite. (Mom and Dad swear this is because we have flouridated water and they didn't. They are full of fillings and horror stories in re:.)

Huzzah for flouridated water, else I'd probably be already fitted for dentures. (I do floss, but not frequently enough. Be that as it may, I still have all my adult teeth. So many people I serve ... don't.)

Huzzah for the water, the enforced (and icky) childhood flouride treatments, and anything else that keeps my teeth from rotting out of my head on account of neglect. (I'm looking at *you,* not-snorting-crystal-meth. Good job!)

... which is all to say, '... we could do worse.'

I remember those floride treatments, they were awful. And later we learned that too much floride is actually bad for teeth.

Go figure.

Now I'm off to snort some crystal-meth like your average midwestern housewife. ;-]

Wow. Sound like y'all midwestern housewives have more fun than the mid-Atlantic ones. I'm about to join the housewife ranks after tomorrow, which is the last day of school. :(

I finally got your book, btw. I had Borders order it for me, and I picked it up yesterday. I'm thinking Sunday afternoon will be leisurely, fun reading time!

Cool, I hope you enjoy it!

I'd buy the dulcimer but I'm hammered at the moment and I don't play drunk. :P~
