mmmmmmmwehhehrhe mmmmmwreerrreee dribble

Friday 4th February 2005 - Day 48

I know I rarely smile in photos. I'm very self concious about my teeth. And lately I've also noticed I have a problem with my eyes closing! Must be age or something.

The dentist went well today, although I'm always a bit sceptical about the long needly like things they stick down the roots when they are clearing them out. How do they fit them all in? When I got home, the anaesthetic was still in effect, hence the title for this photo.

I think I will have some wine tonight to take my mind away from my mouth, and I promise to be ever so slightly less obsessed about it.

I had a very contrast, but high-key type effect in mind today, and I found a lith action for PS. Hence the treatment.

I hope it stays well.
Great SP though, you depicted your misery well. So sorry you had to though.

I hate to say 'great photo' when you are obviously so miserable .. but, this is a great capture of a miserable day. Been there.

Ouch - me too! (the dentist's today that is - I don't have droopy eyes! :p )

You do look in pain - hope the wine helps!

LOL Lee! Glad things went well at the dentist. I like this creative SP...and yes you should smile more often. You're excused today though for good reason! :)

LOL :) I couldn't wait to hear the story behind the title. A great treatment in photoshop!

I really like the treatment and I am sorry that you have to go through such torments in order to get your teeth right, but hey, you do not suffer alone. I have extensive work done on mine as well and my appointment is just around the corner.

Glad to hear it's because you went to the dentist and not because you just LIKE to drool that you are.. well.. swollen and drooly. I like the treatment too.. creative

I like the gritty look to this and the swollen cheek. It does look like someone who just returned from the dentist.... I so dislike going to the dentist.
