day 026.2

i had the joy of taking the second half of the day off. i had some intensely pleasurable activities planned. i had molar #19 removed. removed is putting it pleasantly. it was more like 4 injections of novocaine, 1 set of sturdy surgical grade pliers, 2 set of arm restraints, wait, that was a different pleasure to the day.

anyway, they yanked that SOB right on out and i now have a gaping hole in the rear of my left jaw. i was hoping the left side of my face would be so numb, and the absence of a tooth would be so bloody, that a stream of blood-drool would slowly seep from the corner of my mouth as i strolled the aisles of whole foods looking for a decent, non-vegan, soup. but i wasn't that lucky. anyway, i will have a pick of the crown they removed from the top of the tooth. they let me take it home in a miniature manila envelope. as soon as i can get it under a macro lens you are in for a treat.

but before that delightful experience i was able to go through my portfolio with our new york photo sales rep. i was also able to show her some of my newer work and get her opinion on some concepts. that went well and i received some positive feedback.

after the dentist, i tried running a print of the delta image. the weirdest thing is that it would not print. it would not send the file to the printer queue. it would do nothing. i was able to print another document. but the delta just wouldn't come out. i still never did receive a quote from the young lass from portland color.

i will have you printed, i will have you shipped this weekend along with a pair of snazzy boots to pat for Halloween.

oh, and i started the cleaning of my work space. pretty good start.

i also picked up a few veggies and fruit to shoot a test with this weekend. trying to help a brother out with a pitch to a new client.

oh, and tomorrow is my b-day. no, tooth = no solid food for a few days. guess the b-day feast will have to wait.
