I’m thinking of changing the name of my site from the current: “Lawver.net: Spacemen Fighting With Pointed Sticks”, which I think is still funny, to “Lawver.net: So Ten Minutes Ago”. I spend so much time at work and with family that I’m about ten minutes behind the rest of the world when it comes to writing about the news, sports, etc on this site. I think it fits…

Maybe I’ll redesign around that. It will be hard to part with my spaceman, but I think I’ll manage.

I’ve never been, but even all the way back in 1993, I wanted to. I’ve never been quite unbusy or crazy enough to make it, but you can see why I’d want to go. Doesn’t Burning Man look like fun?

Senor Brown has gone design happy. I think this is the what, fourth new design since Saturday? I know the feeling. I’m starting to feel the urge to rebuild this site, and see what I can do keeping the same HTML and just changing the Style Sheet.

My jaw really hurts. I got through some Lo Mein and egg drop soup, but since I didn’t eat for almost 12 hours in the middle of the day, I’m still hungry (ok, also the fact that I’m almost ALWAYS hungry).

I should go to bed, but I’m waiting (in vain) for the Motrin to kick in. While waiting, I’ll let y’all in on what I hinted at over the weekend. They finally announced it to the work world, so I’ll announce it here: I got a big promotion last week. The best part is that I didn’t see it coming. I am now a senior software engineer. How crazy is that?

The feeling is coming back now (lo, four hours after being numbed) and it hurts. If I didn’t have a meeting in an hour, I would so be home whining to Max and Jen now.

This weekend, I cleaved a corner off one of my molars. Thankfully, it didn’t hurt much, and I didn’t even notice it had happened until I noticed a really sharp edge on the tooth with my tongue. I spent all weekend trying to avoid the sharp tooth and rubbing my tongue raw in my sleep.

I called the dentist this morning and thanks to a cancellation, got in this morning. After X-Rays and probing, I now have to have a root canal. Today, he took the nerves out, and gave me a temporary filling. He numbed me extremely well. I can’t feel the left side of my face from chin to sideburns, half my tongue, or anything on the left side of my mouth. It was great while I was in the chair. I didn’t feel a thing.

Next week: a root canal. I can’t wait.
