i went to the dentist today. going to the dentist is much like going to the annual inspection of the car: i'm very nervous, but once i'm there it turns out very well. i didn't have any cavities, and the dentist (who looked more like a car inspector, actually) said my gums were better than normal. of course i realise he says that to everyone, to make us come back, but it really works. apparently i have three wisdom teeth on their way. that explains all the wiseness floating around in my head lately :)
