I originally had another follow-up dental appointment a mere week after my initial one. The trauma that followed that one (oh, the bleeding!) dictated that the time be rescheduled at the dentist's insistence. Now I want to get my series of treatments out of the way as soon as I can, but I have realised that they can't all be done in a short time period, because my body will react oddly to it being pulled about.

A Bengal tiger and two camels have gone missing after a truck and a trailer they were travelling in were stolen near Montreal, Canadian officials say. They say the vehicles were snatched as the driver stopped for the night at a local motel. Police believe it was an "opportunity crime", with the thieves ...
'Wurg' is my official response to today's proceedings, expressing my deepest ambiguity in the matter. It says everything while saying nothing. Secrets remain secret, guarded emotions remained shut away in the top-shelf shoebox of the mind. Wurg makes this possible, spread the gospel of Wurg today. After today's games Group F is still wide open, you can tell it's really going to go down to the wire. New Zealand tied Italy today in a really exciting match. I was supposed to be supporting ...
