A Clear Loss of Wisdom
by jjweatherman
I haven't been on Giant Bomb much lately. I decided that I needed to take a little break since I've basically been using this site every day for a very long time. Well, I made it several days, but the Quick Looks piled up and I've decided to return and catch up on everything. Oh Giant Bomb, how you've been missed. I had two of my wisdom teeth pulled last Monday morning. That was an experience....
I haven't been on Giant Bomb much lately. I decided that I needed to take a little break since I've basically been using this site every day for a very long time. Well, I made it several days, but the Quick Looks piled up and I've decided to return and catch up on everything. Oh Giant Bomb, how you've been missed.
I had two of my wisdom teeth pulled last Monday morning. That was an experience. My lower left tooth was impacted, which means it was almost completely sideways and pushing against my other teeth. It definitely needed to be pulled, which would make my top wisdom tooth useless. Well, it just so happens that that top tooth had a cavity, so I was more than happy to get rid of that one too. My right side's wisdom teeth are fine and my dentist thinks that I should be able to keep them forever, provided I keep them clean. So anyways, I'm a big wussy and decided I wanted to be knocked the eff out while they removed the teeth. It worked out really well as I don't remember much of anything after the dentist saying "are you starting to feel that medicine?". When the extractions were over, I was pretty slow to become fully aware of my surroundings. I'm sure this lead to some funny moments, only a couple of which I can recall. I had a pretty nice nurse there helping me throughout the appointment. After I started to wake up, she said something along the lines of "You can go home and play Black Ops now.". At that point I barely remember yelling out "No! I play Rock Band!". That was later confirmed to have happened by my mom who was also in the room. Kind of embarrassing; I hope that I didn't say anything that's even more embarrassing. I also remember being walked out of the room and exiting through the back door. At that point I remember saying "Oh we're going this way?". The nurse half-jokingly explained that they didn't want to frighten the other patients by having me walk out the front. I thought that was pretty funny.
I was at home, wisdom teeth removed. What do I do? That's right: Stop using Giant Bomb and play the Endless Setlist 3 on Rock Band 3. There is a clear loss of wisdom at play here. These are two things that I would normally have a very tough time carrying out. I was planning on doing the Endless Setlist 3 at some point, but it's funny that I finally pulled the trigger not long after having my wisdom teeth removed. The ES3 (for short) takes god-damned forever. You smart fellows probably already knew that, but even knowing that there are 83 songs to play through, it seemed like a really, REALLY long time when actually carrying it out. I decided to go through it on Guitar since I was also working towards the HOPO-cidal Maniac achievement. Still a no-go on that one, but I'd bet that I'm super close. I'm actually about to go check that out right now, and maybe play a bit more in pursuit of it if I deem myself close enough.
There's more that I could talk about (like sports!) but I'll save those things for my future blogging ventures. I'm glad to be back, and god dammit that Multimedia Celebrity Poker QL was phenomenal.
