Wha??? What's this?? ::rubs eyes:: A new SG layout? (Shows you how much I check in on the News board.) I likey like! Especially the part where it says that birds appear and choruses of angels sing hymns to my bonny face. Huh, sounds pretty accurate to me. Ooooh, I wonder... ::checks:: damn it! No new smilies. Well, one can hope. What a pleasant Saturday morning surprise. I don't normally take well to changes on my fav/high traffic internet sites. Ala when Yahoo tried that new "test" layout a few months ago. I don't want to go on an Easter egg hunt to find the Mail icon. I resist change. It's part of my charm.

Update on the root canal! It went spectacular... ok, maybe not spectacular...but you get the point. It was tolerable. I plugged in my iPod and away we went. The only pain involved was the inital prick from the numbing needle. After that - nada! The worst part was being tilted backward and having to hold my jaw open for a lengthy time. Instaheadache. What they really need to do is start offering spa services in conjunction with dental procedures. A nice foot massage and some aromatherapy - and presto! - people would be swarming for root canals. Oh yes, and a video camera! I was utterly captivated by what the dentist was doing, each little pokey implement, each tiny drill, that crazy silver syringe (mental note, get one for work). If I have to endure the discomfort, at the very least I want to see the spectacle. Just a few suggestions for any dentists out there - massage therapy and live video feed. Trust me, you'll usher in a new era of dentistry.

Now if I could only teach these birds how to refill my coffee and the angels how to sing a good jazz standard...
