Good Tuesday to you all! I did not oversleep today, in fact I woke up so early I had time to eat breakfast, which generally never happens to me. THERE WAS TOAST. TOAST FOR BREAKFAST ON A WEEKDAY.

I'm running away from work at 2 o'clock to get a permanent crown put on one of my back molars, which is good because about half of the temporary crown has now cracked off. I don't blame my dentist for this; I have freakish alligator-like jaw-strength, and I clench when I'm tense. Which is, you know. All the time.

I have a couple of links for you this morning, though!

First, [livejournal.com profile] metallumai is seeking out people who know the "long version" of London Bridge -- I have to admit I only know verse one and seven. Verse eight is especially hilarious, as it's the typical children-love-gore thing. Judy, whatever you do, teach Gabe that version. Even if granny did make it up, it's way more awesome.

Second, [livejournal.com profile] adina_atl wrote an awesome Children of Earth AU fic, The Archivist, which you should definitely go read because GENIUS. Spoilers, of course, for CoE.

Third, I've been evangelising NCIS lately as the king of characters and arcs, if not of individual show writing or plausible detail. And thus via [livejournal.com profile] 51stcenturyfox, I bring you an NCIS music video of awesome. Especially because of:

1. McGee and Tony appearing as "mom and dad"
2. The entire sequence of Gibbs kissing various bits of Abby
3. The synchronised headslapping which is NEVER NOT FUNNY.

So many new shiny things! Clearly I have my finger on the pulse of...my...friendslist...today.
At the dentist's and on gas. I always wish stoned!sam was more interesting.
Crown didn't fit-- got to do this all over again next week. Thrilling.
So, the dentist tried to put the crown on my molar, said "Oh, well, that doesn't fit" and then disappeared without telling me they were giving me another temporary crown until it was already installed. It's a good thing I asked for gas; I was feeling stupid about it, because apparently putting on the real crown didn't even need novocain or lidocain or whatever it is they use now, but fitting a temporary crown sure does.

The tech who fitted me with the second temporary crown said the "final" crown didn't fit because what I'd thought was a bit of temporary crown that I cracked off, remember? was actually another chunk of tooth. This time they made sure the temporary crown actually covered the whole tooth and wouldn't crack off, which, good luck to them, have they met my mouth?

So I made another appointment and staggered out and caught a cab driven by the Second Most Incompetent Taxi Driver Ever (the Most Incompetent award still goes to the guy who wanted me to give him directions to 55th street from 57th street and then tried to lock me in his cab) but now I'm home.

It might be naptime.
