Oral Surgery Tomorrow

Well, tomorrow at 11:30am I have an appointment with the Oral Surgeon to extracate 6 lousy teeth out of my mouth. They’re gonna knock me out so at least the surgery will be over quick for me anyway. Then I’ll be recovering down at the folks for a few days and will probably be too out of it to do anything for awhile. Actually, mom will be driving me there and back. You’d think after this many years of evolution humans would have better teeth… combination of soft teeth genes and drinking cokes all my life I guess. This isn’t the first time. Few years back I had around 13 removed. Dentist thinks I won’t be at the point for needing dentures or implants yet but we’ll see. I’m effectively not eating with those teeth now anyway. Total cost is $1,640 but insurance is paying for $1,275 of it. But, if you add up what I’ve been paying for continuation of health benefits… I’ve spent that much anyway.

Anyway, I’ll post how it went when I’m able. 🙂

Got new movie and website updates.

Decided to get Snakes on a Plane. Actually, I’ve had it for a couple weeks now. On an icky note, went to the dentist today (what a lovely thing to do on Valentines day, LOL) and I get to go visit an Oral Surgeon to have 6 teeth removed. I’ve had crappy teeth since I was a kid…a genetic thing. The past few weeks things have gone downhill in my mouth and it’s started bugging me. Once again as I am typing this, I keep thinking about setting up a blog on my site. Wonder if I should put off really looking for a job til after I get over the mouth surgery.. since it will take a week to get over all the drugs I’ll most likely be on afterwards (anti-inflamatory stuff). I’ve done this before so I know what to expect. Joy, joy! 🙂

Oh yeah, I changed the top part of this page a bit…trying out a new weather sticker. Man, it’s 16°F right now… brrrrr!

Some changes to website and some bad news about work…

A new year has begun so I’ve moved last year’s news to the archives page. I kept the last December entry on the front page as well. I suppose I should go ahead and mention that since mid-November I have been unemployed. 😥 At the moment I am sort of taking a paid vacation. 🙂 Since people from work still visit this site on occassion that’s all I’m going say about the matter. I’ll get serious about looking for a new job next week. I’m in that odd mid-life crises phase kind of thing. There’s nothing keeping me in Stillwater, OK now.. but moving is such a pain in the ass and I have a lot of crap now, LOL. 🙂 When I moved into this apartment I didn’t have very much because my old one had been robbed. I suspect the best odds will lie in the Oklahoma City area.. I would prefer there to Tulsa. The Edmond/Oklahoma City area would put me closer to the folks and several of my friends that I get together with each month to play Pelicar. So, if anyone’s looking, here’s my resume (link removed for security reasons).

Some speedtest results.

I could make a Speedtest page with all the images I’ve generated running speedtests lately. I wonder how much internet bandwidth is used by people running speedtests. Getting 9000/1000 speeds now. Actually, have been for awhile now. Here’s another image:

I’m getting too much stuff on my front page I think.. might need to move some things into the Archives. Not tonight though.
