April Fool's Eve...

---

T'was the night before April Fool's. Hmm...there is much pranking to be done. Anyone have any good ones?

On a completely unrelated note, I was talking to Kim online when she sent me this news item.

Well then. *clicks 'RESUME' on mp3 download*

I, of course, must have been the last person to read about this decision. Cuz when I sent the link to Richard, he responded: "Dude. That's soooo 9AM this morning".

Jeesh. I'm really behind on my current events.

In other news...I've been having some minor discomfort from my upper left wisdom tooth all week. I've had two wisdom teeth in the bottom row of my teeth removed five years ago. But I still had two in my upper row remaining. So I went into the dentist today expecting to have a consultation on whether I should have them pulled out (especially considering exams are fast approaching) and whether or not the extraction would require full or only local anesthesia. After examining the x-ray the dentist asks: "Do you want me to take it out right now? I can do it in 20 minutes."

Uhhhhh.....

I love teeth extraction about as much as the next guy. So you can tell I wasn't exactly giddy about getting the procedure done sooner. But I figured hey...what the hell. Might as well get it over with...especially before my exams start. So pretty soon the dentist clunks the metallic instruments he's going to use onto my chest (I HATE when they do that). Before I can even say "mrphfl" he's poked my gums with a needle. Local anesthesia sets in and soon my cheek feels numb. Then my tongue. I hear a loud 'CRACK' and then it was pretty much over. I had to admit...he was a pretty good dentist. I ended up rushing back to my Immigration class with a bloody gauze in my mouth and only being about 30 minutes late.

I did get a vial of Tylenol #3 medication though. Yippee. Of course people at school were like: "Make sure you save a few of those tablets for exams when you can't sleep".

Another student suggested: "Dave, you should have acted hysterical and asked for valium!"

Sigh. Law school people are such druggies at exam time.

It's funny because when we started school...we were handed these thick packets of readings. One of the first readings we read, I distinctly remember, was on the stress amongst lawyers and prevalance of alcohol and drug abuse within the profession.

*glances down at Tylenol #3 bottle*

Well I guess I've just started.
