Ok this post is all over the place because I have lots to say today! First & foremost THANK YOU for all your well wishes yesterday. I was very much freaking out. After waiting to be seen for 20 minutes he put a temporary filling in & basically gave me a big telling off that I hadn't been to the dentist in so long. I wish I could go in, be put under general anesthetic, have them do everything that needs to be done in one go & I pay the extortionate amount all in one go, then it's done & my check ups for the rest of time aren't so painful. Of course it's not like that. Dentists can't give general anesthetic. So...in his words I have to think about "what to do next" eek. But the pain's stopped!
Secondly, honourable mention needs to go to Mrs. Obama who is frankly, has been killing it over in the UK & Ireland. I was going to blank out Mrs. Cameron just because I hate her, but here we can clearly see the comparison between someone who dresses well, understated & suitable. With no confessions of fashion icon-ness. Next to Mrs. C who is meant to be an ambassador of fashion given that she designs - much a loose term - disgusting hand bags, Mrs. O makes her look try hard & boring all at the same time. How? Purple + Blue = Beautiful.
On Sunday we were at a loss of what to do with a craving for chips. So we decided to go to the cinema & as a reward for um...leaving the house, get Nando's after. Nando's is worth leaving the house for. So to avoid tweenage over exposure we swerved Pirates of the Caribean & went to see Attack the Block instead. It was SO FUCKING GOOD. I know, I know, bits of it (the beginning mainly) are slightly embarrassing, blud & all that. BUT the casting is fucking ace on the kids & the story is actually surprisingly well executed. Also special kudos go for actually explaining why aliens have come to kill people rather that just that they're crazed killers, & for the monsters themselves who are the best aliens I've seen. Usually when you see the aliens it's an anticlimax but theirs are awesome. Honestly, if you have a spare 2 hours(ish) & £5(ish) go & see this film!
& finally if you've made it this far you are going to be rewarded with a shifty apology about me jumping the gun over Arctic Monkeys new album. The song they released first is still shit, I stand by that. & there is a lot of randomness rather than storytelling on the album as a whole. But after Chris buttered me up & *accidentally* left a copy in my car I let myself listen to it & was... pleasantly not made homicidal towards A.C (as she will now be referred to). There are lowlights of course, but there are highlights too. Can't wait to actually get the album. See? Listening before it's released was good! I was considering not even buying it! See!?
Best lyric so far (on my 3rd listen) from Suck it and see: "that's not a skirt, girl, that's a shawn-off shotgun and I can only hope you've got it aimed at me"
Now that wasn't too bad was it? Too much?
Phew.
1st picture is fabulous. They look gorgeous and it's a fantastic meeting!

Ahh, Mrs Obama. She always looks so good!
ReplyDeleteRegarding the dentist, I actually go have stuff done under sedation, because my previous hissy fits at the dentist (where he pulled out a 'loose' tooth without local anaesthetic - it wasn't loose enough, put it that way) are classed as severe enough to get it done on the NHS. If you make a point about how seriously you hate the dentist, they might do it for you?
Oh and in reply to your comment on my blog about Von Trier - I know, what a classy guy... They've completely banned him now. I have no doubt he's a seriously weird guy... but he does make beautiful films.
nando's is always worth leaving those house for. ALWAYS. what did you go for? seriously, k should be an ambassador for the halloumi and mushroom burger, always telling everyone to get it. unless you are one of The Other who dislike mushrooms of course? i will never understand them...i quite like the monkeys' album (but i'm a massive fan of them anyway, so...) i wouldn't say there's a bad track myself.brick by brick isn't very a.m., but i wouldn't say it's "bad". and well done for undergoing the torture of the dentist (+waiting room) xo

heartsofsand: who did you ask to get sedated? I guess I could ask, I mean I would be paying a fortune for the pleasure!
ReplyDelete& rebecca: unfortunately I am allergic to mushrooms! I had no idea there was halloumi on the nandos menu, I can usually sniff it out, for sure convincing someone to get that next time I go. I had boring (but amazing) double chicken wrap & chips. Classic. & you like Don't Sit Down...? HOW?
Basically they told me I'd have to have 11 fillings because of my illness fucking up my teeth, at which point I point blank refused to step in the door. Cause I was under 18, my mum had to ring up and make a point about how much I hated the dentist, and was there another option, and they suggested this clinic who specialise in sedation dentistry. They referred me to them, and though I had to wait a bit it was well worth it. Only thing is, you can't get white fillings on the NHS (which I didn't realise til I woke up, and had 6 metal fillings in my upper jaw) but next time I begged them, and the nice dentist sneakily put in 4 white and 1 metal on my bottom jaw, and never billed me for them. I'd make a point to your dentist and ask if they have any similar clinics in your area.
