teeths, website.
for the past three days, my wisdom teeth have been threatening to burst forth from my gums and shred the inside of my face with their sharp, dentally unnecessary-ass selves. i am like many billions of people who have/had/will have impacted wisdom teeth, but unlike some others who share this evolutionary faux pas, i don't have the means to get the damn problem fixed. no money, and no insurance. hence the whiny rant. so yeah, it hurst like a bitch, putting tons of pressure on my jaw and creating great seismic headaches that have me seriously considering some advanced tom hanks-in-Castaway style dentistry. they'll do this from time to time, those pesky little buddies of mine, periodically reminding me that they're there, and eventually they'll become tolerably silent once again, enabling me to fore-go my own health for another day when i presumably "will" have more money. of course, there's always PPD, or some other trial stuff that's usually going on out there, but without insurance, i think i'm even locked out of those. besides, if i wound up with a placebo - or go forbid an experimental drug that whacked me out of my gourd - the ramifications at work could be quite nasty.
the whole insurance thing is quite simple to explain. i was eligible for health/eye/dental through hollywood for 90 days after i got promoted. so, i've been promoted within 90 days, and thought i'd go ahead and apply for it. well, turns out it's 90 days from when you're promoted to full-time from part-time, which was my assistant manager promotion over a year ago. so, looks like i'll have to wait until january for the open enrollment period to begin. let's hope i don't get fucked up till then.
and now, more about the website.
i know that all of you (ok, just michael way) have been practically clamoring for more information about this so-called website that i've been mentioning in my posts lately. about those - sorry for the lack of elaboration there. it was never supposed to be a big secret or anything, i just always felt that i'd get around to saying what it was, and that a quick throwaway reference to "the website" would be less of a cliffhanger than it actually might have turned out to be. now, ten years later, i'm finally detailing what it is i've been talking about this entire time.
this site will really only be exciting for Harry Potter fans, and will only serve to provide further ammo for those that wish to fire upon and defame my character. ("dude, whatever. go webmaster your Harry Potter fan site.") But it's not that bad. in fact , the premise is adapted from a very macho source - it's a fantasy sports team/march madness bracket, with Harry Potter characters. check it out at www.thesecondwar.blogspot.com.
the basic idea is that you cast a ballot saying who you think will or won't die in the last book. pick too many, too few, or the wrong ones, and you worsen your chance at winning. we're planning on hooking up with some real harry potter sites to offer prizes and such for the winners. should be fun. let me know what ya'll think of the site, and if you're even interested in hearing about how it's going.
that's all for now. sleep tight kids.
