Right now, I think my favorite building might be the Turning Torso.

Lost (weekend)
It was a beautiful weekend, so N. and myself stayed inside and watched many episodes of Lost on DVD. Since it was so sunny, we had to block out the bothersome light using techniques we learned in the meth lab.

Today I am a king
Yesterday was my last dentist appointment for the purposes of taking out all my old fillings and replacing them with space-age polymers. It was a long process, made a little better by my dental insurance covering 80% of the bill, except for the one crown (50%), but I deleted most of the insurance information because I don’t really understand how it works and it is really boring.
Anyhow, from what I understand, the old style fillings deteriorate over time and tooth decay moves in, unless you act now, which I did, over a series of months. The very able Dr. Levi and team worked their magic and I did feel a little pinch, but then I was fine.
Dr. Levi’s office isn’t in a bad part of town, nor is the building particularly seedy, yet they have a sign in the elevator which I’ve never seen: is that The Shadow trying to steal my wallet?
Like I said, yesterday the custom built and work of art crown was cemented into my mouth or gums or gaping hole, marking the last procedure I should be having for long a long time. Since the stunning beauty is in my mouth, I can only show you the temporary crown (complete with a startling and tiny hole) sitting in the plush box the real one arrived in.
Don’t forget to floss!
