For those who don’t know….the last time I visited my original dentist, she broke a drill bit in my tooth while doing a root canal. That was not a fun experience. She couldn’t remove it so she sent me to their specialist clinic.

Well after 2 appointments spread over 3 hours, they finally managed to remove the drill bit so that they could continue on with the original root canal as scheduled.

I can’t tell you how happy that makes me actually. My dental insurance runs out on 31 May 2006, so I have between now and May to finish up the root canal and get 50-80% of the cost for that reimbursed. Then, it’s just simple maintenance work from that point on. I will warn my dentist that if she can’t finish by 15 May 2006, that I would rather use two dentists to make sure that the work gets completed. No sense in paying full price for something I should be getting a discount on.

Oh yeah, and I am at the airport right now. Getting plastered. I am in the SAS EuroBonus Gold lounge and I am a bit drunk. 5 glasses of reisling will do that to you. But hey, I have got to celebrate being able to make progress on my tooth, right? It’s the last piece of dental work I need before my mouth returns back to some semblance of normal.

And finally…it’s another busy travel week. I will be in Denmark tonnight, Helsinki tomorrow night, and then coming back to Stockholm on Friday to go to Berlin on Saturday for a long weekend. I deserve it. I have been good this year.

I have been wondering for a few days now what the future direction of my LJ should be. I decided that I won’t get rid of it, because I like it first as a tool for me and second that it provides a forum to share.

However, I have looking at several journals over the weekend and I am not sure what to do. Some journals are chalk full of text, and that is a positive and a negative because no one but your closest friends reads that text. Other journals have lots of pictures, but not lots of text. And still I see some on the middle. But the asthetics aren’t the only thing. I have been thinking a lot about content too. Some people post only happy things, others post everything good and bad. And still others turn it into a real experience through several forms of expression and media. There isn’t a right answer really and I know this. But that is my dilemma. I will continue to look at this journals that I think are more reflective of the style I want to move towards and come to some conclusion.

I know I want to add more pictures, but I am not sure I want to be the focus of them as opposed to how I see the world. I want to share my stories and stuff, but within what I feel are the correct contexts.

For the moment I will leave my journal as is. But I will probably change it over in june. to what i don’t know…
