Welcoming sweet death

No, I haven't become more of a Goth than I already am. I'm just celebrating the memory of the people who died this year. RIP delicious celebrities.

Day 154 with braces. Take that, nature.

Last week I went to Dr. Lagstein for my monthly check up. I got a new wire (my sixth, I believe) and it's a pretty thick one, so the pressure was on for a couple of days. There is no power train this time, but there was a little sanding between the teeth. The gap it created was gone within three days, just showing you how quickly these teeth move when motivated by physics. 

During the next visit, the Dr thinks he'll even out the bottom teeth to the same height. That's about 8 seconds on his mini-belt sander. An unpleasant thought, but it's really not bad. 

In other news, my teeth have moved so much (hooray) that at night, my bottom jaw can get behind the stoppers on my top teeth, so I snore again (boo).

My cheap British teeth are on their way to becoming expensive American ones. Sorry, genetic heritage.

Newtown Creek wastewater treatment plant

As part of open house new york weekend, I visited the Newtown Creek Wastewater treatment plant (check out these photos at the Gothamist). For more enlightenment and excellent pictures visit newtownpentacle.com.

 

The eight digester eggs are affectionately know as "Shit Tits."

 

The view was amazing. My only complaint was I wish they had washed the windows.

Day 137 with braces. Really?

I find it unreal how much my teeth have changed over the last 137 days. When I compare the pictures and see how far certain teeth have moved, I can't believe it wasn't agony. But it really, truly wasn't. 

There are a couple of things I thought at the beginning that have proven untrue:

1. I thought I'd be eating slurry for a year and secretly I thought I'd lose 100 pounds. Nope. Not true. Sure, for the first week or two I ate very gingerly, positive that my teeth would shatter out of my mouth. Now I eat anything, except steaks, salad, nuts, bubble gum and apples. And I've gained about 10 pounds. Bugger.

2. I thought I could get away with more waterpik than floss. Also not true. You HAVE to floss. Even if you hate it.

3. I thought an aspirin half hour before an appointment would stave off any discomfort or pain. So not true. You have to put your liver at risk and take two heavy duty Tylenol two hours before your appointment and then one more 45 minutes before. It takes the edge off and lets the Dr and his crew do their work. Since starting this pain prevention regimen I haven't sworn at all during the wire change.

4. I thought I would be a bit embarrassed being an adult with braces, but no. I'm sort of proud. And people mostly ignore the braces. Maybe because I live in New York and they've see a lot weirder stuff before coffee. Like dogs with braces.

How long is a minute?

Related somewhat to the receipt watch from yesterday, this concept watch by Alexandros Stasinopoulos totally flips my buttons. It is also at boingboing.
