Ugh, in a few short hours (8am Wednesday) I'll be under the nitrous gas at the dentist. I really hope I don't get loopier than absolutely necessary, as I *do* need to go to lab today/tomorrow.
As to what I'm getting done, well just a simple teeth cleaning.
Why nitrous for a silly cleaning, you may ask? Because of this. (Scroll down to see the article.)
Hey, not ALL my genes could be great. :D

As threatened a little while ago, this is the first of ten hopefully weekly posts looking back at the ten years this blog has been in operation. This one covers the period from the very first post on June 22, 2002 to June 21, 2003.
When I started doing this look back, I was more than a little…
To the men and woman campaigning for the President of the United States:
Hey, how's it going. Boy, I bet it seems like this campaign has been going on forever, huh? All those pancake breakfasts and rubber-chicken dinners... I don't know how you guys manage it.
But here's the thing: the campaign…

I see Janet has a post series going on family + academic career. (Part 1; Part 2). I've written a bit on my own experience at the old blog (and I do mean "a bit;" it's much more of a Cliff notes version of events than Janet's), so I'm re-posting it here for another view from the trenches, so to…
Dumb question, probably, but why do you need anesthetic at all for just a cleaning? I've never heard of that before. (But maybe all my dentists have just sucked...)
Since I haven't had a cleaning (or anything) in 5 years, my gums are REALLY sensitive, and I couldn't sit still without it.
I recently had a filling replaced with no anasthetic. I see it as a trade-off: 5 minutes of pain vs. 4 hours of drooling.
It's time for an expose on the poor health benefits received by many grad students.
"5 minutes of pain vs. 4 hours of drooling"
I'll take the drooling, thanks!
Phew, thank god thats over. The nitrous was terrible! I felt like I was having a panic attack and couldn't breathe and yanked the thing off. Thankfully I have a very understanding and nice dentist who calmed me down. Although it was a very surreal experience listening to Kenny G all messed up.
Maybe i should just get dentures. :P
Congratulations on your recent graduation to FCD.
