Im going back to school, to get my London City And Guilds, and get the hell out of B Shifts at a petrol station, theyre killing me.

Upon realising that my gum was still bleeding almost a week after having “the rotten cocksucker” at the back of my mouth physically removed, I got a little worried.

It could have been the Dizziness Id experianced at work, Or more than likely the foul taste/ red spit during rinsing that prompted me to try calling the dentist, and eventually my mother.

“You have an infected socket which stops normal healing”.

Ah another trip to the dentist great. This time she poked around in the very tender socket, and then sucked out all the nastey crap that was in there, it was fairly quick, but on whole hurt more than the actual pulling.
She then packed the gap with a dressing coverd in a clove formula (I know sounds like some gypsy stuff going on) so all I’ve been able to taste for the last 24 hours is cloves.
I seem to have gained a really bad headache/ electric throbbing sensation along with the foul taste (I’ll be happy if I never have to go near another clove again) especially up and around the back of my eyes.

My plan of action… try to sleep as much as I can.

First things first, my thoughts go out to the family’s/friends of those students at Elim Christian School who passed away in the recent flash floods, nobody should have to outlive their children.

And now for the seemingly uncaring rant.
How bad is this going to screw up things like the Hillary Commissions Outdoor Pursuits programs in schools?

I can just see the wheels of bureaucracy turning now, Yes there needs to be an investigation into this freak occurrence, and huge tragedy, no there doesn’t need to be an investigation into school guidelines on outdoor education, less fucking cotton wool please.

Cut Off Your Hands – Still Fond 3:02

You probably know him as Bret, the shorter half of Flight Of The Concords, with the more chiseled features, always quitting etc etc.
You may even know him as part of the Black Seed’s, or one twelfth of the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra, but have you ever heard him as Video Kid?

I bet the legions of Conchords Fan Girls worldwide googleing the name Bret McKenzie are now franticly searching limewire/ torrents of various kinds to come across what I can tell you is a beautiful album, which was always destined for obscurity.

Why is “Prototype” so hard to come across? because he only released it on Vinyl of course, Those lucky New Zealanders who used to stay uplate so they could watch the rather classy m2 (late night music TV before we had our own station) may remember a wee music video with McKenzie and some mates rolling down a Hill in Wellington on some pretty gnarly old skateboards, Dawnskate 88.

I believe that, that was the only song released as a video, which is sad because the album is full of absolute Gems.
Best played while driving around Wellys coastal roads with the sun coming down and the cold winter wind blasting your ass, some mates having quiet ones in the back seat.

Good luck to you FOTC fangirls by the way, ill give you a hint, theres a fairly illegal download on the last.fm page i linked up there, enjoi

Inside every mouth there are teeth, and wherever theres teeth, you’ll find the tooth beaver.
And where you find the tooth beaver, you’ll find a nerve ending.

As Bubbles said it, “I had the rotten cocksucker” at the back of my mouth removed, and spent all of yesterday acting like Ren Höek after his visit from the tooth beaver, it bleed, alot, for a day, and then some more.

Id like to mention, that the young Asian woman who pulled it, done a really good job, highly recommended, and the first great experience I’ve had at Robin Young Dental Surgery.
Yes, I’ve had some shockers with previous employees of Mr Young.
Anyways if your up Levin ways and you need some work done check out Robin Young Dental Surgery, 127 Cambridge Street, Telephone: (06) 368-5518, make sure the young lady (Ive forgotten her name) does the work because she rules.

Now the nerve endings are the tastiest part of your body, and your tooth beaver knows this!

They have a LCD TV mounted on the roof, so you can watch T.V while they cut/ rip/ smash/ pull at the pearly whites, or “not so whites” hidden in your mouth, I caught a few episodes of The Lion Man while listening to my busted up tooth cracking, and feeling the immense pressure on the right side of my face, it took a while, both her and the nurse kept checking for numbness, and to make sure I was okay with how things were going, eventually the twisting came in and that was the only real discomfort of the procedure, I actually let out a gargled thankyou as she waved the huge bloodsoaked tooth infront of me and exclaimed that she wouldn’t need to go to the gym after wrenching at it for so long.

Now im just going through the aching, panadol and alcohol seem to be good medicine.
