thought that i was young
Last night, the dentist asked me if I wanted novocaine for my filling. I said, "Well, do you think it's necessary?" And he said, "Yes, because I'll be drilling close to the gum." So I said, "Okay, then."
Do people actually agree to dental work without novocaine? WHO THINKS THIS IS EVEN A CHOICE? WHAT THE FUCK?
That was some powerful novocaine though, because it didn't wear off until after 10, and ALSO, the right half of my NOSE was numb. Which was a lot more uncomfortable than you'd expect.
I don't mind going to the dentist, and I am pretty good at lying there and taking it when it comes to dental work, having started with orthodontics when I was eight, but jesus fuck, it's bad enough they're doing awful, painful things to your mouth (with the terrible shrieking soundtrack of the drill). Does everything have to taste vile too? I would rather have a mouthful of my own blood than whatever the hell that composite is they use to fill cavities these days. Augh.
Anyway, I also discovered I screwed something up at work and so I spent my ride home getting talked down off the ledge by fleurdeleo, who reminded me, though she did not say it in the words she usually does, that we ain't making O-rings for rockets. Double-booking something is not the end of the world (especially since I didn't buy the second plane ticket yet), but I'm going to have to tell my boss, which is always uncomfortable.
So I got home and was in a funk, and also my nose was numb and I couldn't eat, and so I did not watch Glee because I was not in a place that could take looking at Schue and Finn's stupid annoying faces, but apparently last night's episode as actually good? I recorded it, so maybe at some point I'll actually watch it, but I'm thinking maybe this is a good sign and I can just drop it and get another hour of my life back from the timesuck that is television.
I did watch The Good Wife, though I'm not sure I understood how Kalinda was on the scene so quickly for the fourth shooting. I couldn't tell if she was following Cary or Jason Street (I don't know his name yet on the show, so he's going to be Jason Street until I do; it amuses me that two of Lyla Garrity's exes are on this show) or what was going on there - I know I missed something.
Have I mentioned how much I love Diane? Because I love her A LOT. Possibly I need an icon. I have loved Christine Baranski since "Cybill," but I don't think I've ever loved her more than on this show. ♥
Also, I really like how Will and Alicia continue to work together as adults, even with that dreadful erased message between them. SHOW, FIX THAT PLEASE.
I was amused at Alicia's brother, but I couldn't watch that dinner with Jackie being all antisemitic nice white lady. *shudders* I also do love Eli Gold, though. Alan Cumming is awesome in his scenery chewing, which works because everyone else in the cast is so fucking restrained. Even Chris Noth sometimes, though I did like his mutual exchange of threats with Owen.
Mostly, I think all y'all should write me fic where Diane and Kalinda (and Alicia if you like) are AWESOME together. They could FIGHT CRIME! They could METE OUT JUSTICE! They could GO TO THE BAR FOR SHOTS! I don't really care what they do as long as they are their INCREDIBLY AWESOME SELVES while they do it.
