Fuck that woman rescuing her worm, my face hurts and the world sucks. Ow ow ow. The dentist says I've got an abcess, so I'm on antibiotics and the pain should subside "within 48 hours". What??? What am I supposed to for the intermediate 48 hours of unbearable pain, bitch? Ow ow ow. The abcess, it should be noted, is on a tooth I've already had filled, so had the filling been done in any country other than Trinidad, I would have a great malpractice suit on my hands. In the meantime, I'm planning to avoid the inevitable root canal until I get to Trinidad, because it's cheaper there. Why is it cheaper? Because they don't need malpractice insurance. Isn't it all just a wonderful cycle? Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.

On the positive side -- see, I'm not totally down on the world today -- French continues to be quite fun. Knowing another language will be cool. Ow, though.
