nausea awoke me. i feel like a teething baby again; one of my wisdom teeth has finally broke through the surface. last night em tried to convince me to get them all taken out, and it led to a discussion about my fears of surgery and death that i was reluctant to have.

on the up side, we went to kate's for martinis and tabboo. watched memento and ordered pizza.

tonight is girls night at berlin. unfortunately, i shant be chained up and wipped by a dominatrix tonight, but at least i'll get free salsa lessons.

no way i'm letting them take my wisdom teeth. surgery is our solution for everything. the only healthy thing to do is to ignore the problem, and then it will go away.

are you going to the AAA conference in SF? i mean, you are at chicago, so i imagine you guys have funding for that. if so, then you should come to my session--I'm delivering a paper in the Victor Turner invited session on friday the 19th. i'm also delivering one for a friend of mine who can't make it, which is on placemaking, environmental anthropology, and the Inuit. exciting. but nerveracking...

take care, hope classes are going well! mine don't start until next week, and this time I have to teach intro to cultural anthropology...ugh

I had the same fear with my wisdom teeth. Last time anything was put into me by IV, I went into aniphilactic shock and almost died. I was positive that I'd 'go under' and never wake up. But I did. As terrifying as it is, it's probably a fear worth facing. Just realize that when you feel really sick and chipmunkie and you're on crazy painkillers, you'll probably get lonely and cry. But a week later it'll be like it never happened.

Ok, anyway I actually meant to just write "you're pretty" and leave. See what you've done?
