Fear and Loathing in PG County
Sure enough, I got lost on my bike yesterday trying to get home from work to DC. Add to it the rain I thought would be the typical afternoon thundershower, which lasted for at least a half hour. So I was wet, lost and I couldn't see (glasses issue again). But the trail was nice anyway. Eventually I ended up somewhere out in Prince George's County, and ended up biking home on Rhode Island anyway. After some research today it turns out there really isn't any trail that goes from College Park to the District. You have to be on a road at some point one way or another.
I got my teeth cleaned at the dentist's yesterday. The technology seems to advance every time I go in for an appointment. First you get the x-ray, then the person with the sonic thingy comes in, then the Official Flosser comes in, then the dental hygenist came in to pick around, and finally the dentist. It takes a whole hour now, but damn my teeth do feel clean afterwards.
I go in twice a year for cleaning and checkup. Each time they give me a bunch of samples, including a spare toothbrush. Since the samples are too bristly for my tastes, I save them for 'unexpected overnight visitors'. I have two unused sample toothbrushes in my medicine cabinet. You do the math. Grrrr... I talk the talk a lot but don't get as much results as you'd think.

I saw a guy I went on a date with once last weekend at the Pride Festival. He had super-white teeth, almost freakishly white teeth, but I liked them. I've tried the whitening stuff though, and it's kind of a pain. The dental hygenist says you have to get a mold and it's all expensive and all that, so I'm not going to bother just yet. But I am weaning myself off of coffee, as I think I drink too much. I'm reducing the loads of grounds I shovel into the filter, from 5 heaping spoonfulls to 5 moderate spoonfulls. I noticed the difference in flavor, and I'm not as wired as I usually am by this time. I always stop drinking coffee by Noon. I think kicking the coffee will help me be a bit more relaxed too.
I've been working on yet another set of web pages for a contracting gig on the side. It adds up to enough where I can live a bit more comfortably and pay the bills. Sure, some extra time is required, which I'd probably be playing computer games anyway.
Charlie Brown is hot. While I was looking for the above picture, I came across the website of a Dutch production of the show, "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." Snoopy ain't bad either. I think I have a thing for Dutch boys, but not the kind with that bad haircut.

That graphic cracked me UP! "Now he his clean! Pop!'
And yeah...sign me up for the Dutch men, too. Oh, and the Wisconsin boys. ;)

Jaques the cleaner shrimp killed me in 'Finding Nemo'. He was my favorite character.

Doesn't one of those toothbrushes have my name on it?

It might! There are only two toothbrushes left until my next teeth cleaning in 6 months. Hurry!

I've got a dentist appointment next week to look forward too. I do the same thing with the toothbrushes. I have at least 6 in my medicine cabinet. :( Did you have any cavities?

I have not had a cavity since I started brushing my teeth. But I do have fillings from when I didn't.

So, you wanna fuck Chuck?
I bet he's a pouf..he hangs out with those blatant lezzie couple Peppermint Patty and Marcie.

I think Linus is the shit. Very very easy on the eyes. Not as hot as you though, jimbo.

Dutch men, damn. They're either stunning, or weirdly heinous. And then there's the 6'7 ones.
