  • Today, for the first time ever, I reached the end of a roll if dental floss without first losing or giving up on it.

  • Composite of four images of Dan, a white man with long hair and a beard. He's wearing a hoodie with a picture of Fluttershy (from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) wearing the iconic armour from the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim video game. In each of the four pictures he's wearing a different hat: a rainbow-striped bandana, a blackcap with the word 'GEEK' on the front in white lettering, a warm furry hat, and a purple woolen hat with a "Woo" logo.

    Ten Pointless Facts About Me

    A 'ten questions about yourself' quiz is circulating the blogosphere, and I figured I'd join in (and wear four different hats, in the process).

  • Found GCAPFH3 Cherry Blossom

    Third time's the charm. I don't live too far away and I'm often found cycling to, from, or through Eynsham. As a result, I've on two previous occasions come to this GZ with a view to finding this cache... and both times have been glorious summer weekend days when the adjacent cafรฉ has been brim full of guests, and I've declared it "too muggley" and backed off.
    Today, though, is a gloomy and overcast day, with rain on the way and a threat of thunderstorms. So as I cycled by, on my way home from the dentist, I stopped by. I quickly found and retrieved the cache, signed the log, and returned it to its spot.
    Now I'd better see if I can pedal all the way home before the clouds burst! TFTC.

  • Off into surgery: wish me luck!




    Apparently when I had wisdom teeth removed, ooh, a little over 25 years ago, the dentist who did so fucked up and managed to leave fragments of tooth embedded in my gum, which might have been harmless except that they've lately become infected with something and are may ultimately threaten my jawbone.

    So, yeah. In โ€ฆ
