March 25, 2002-12:33 p.m. Is it really obvious that I�ve just returned from the dentist�s office? You may think that pained expression on my face is due to the dental work, but you would be wrong. The lopsidedness of my face is a result of the novacaine, however. The pained expression is as a result of the conversation that was going on as I was trying to check out. I just wanted to write my check and make my next appointment. I should probably point out that my dentist�s office is in a very small town near the even smaller town in which I reside. There is this big-haired lady in the waiting area monopolizing the receptionist and for the most part, the conversation. I can�t remember what she was talking about when I got out there, but before I left, we had heard her views on:
I�d gotten my check written by then at least. The dentist passed through and mentioned that he is going to Siberia for sight seeing. Big-hair has to inquire as to whether he collects anything on his travels. He collects artwork because he can lay it flat in the suitcase and it doesn�t take up too much room and then he can have it framed when he returns. She tells him that he should collect something small that he could have engraved on the bottom with the dates he acquired them. *Mmmmm* He also might want to get a big world map and put a colored pin in every place he�s traveled to. He already has that. So much for your novel ideas. She finally shut up long enough for me to get my next appointment and get the hell out of there. So anyways, the pained expression is not so much as a result of dental work but of pointless pontification by other dental patients. Aliquot! **Disclaimer: All characters in this diary are fictional.
