So this LJ is basically fic and medical issues these days.

For the last two weeks or so I've had my right-top wisdom tooth jabbing me in the gum of my lower jaw whenever I shut my mouth, as if a fanged canine started growing out of the back of my mouth instead of a molar. I assumed this to be a passing phase of my wisdom teeth growing in, but after a while it got so annoying that I finally went to the dentist to have it looked at.

Ayep, the things need to come out, or at least the top pair do. The bright side of this is that my upper wisdom teeth are very small, about a third the size of the rest of my teeth. This means that they should be relatively easy to remove, so I won't even have to go to an oral surgeon or get anything more than some numbing before the dentist plucks them out. I'll even be able to go to work the next morning, albeit a little on the sore side. I have to wait until next month, but at least a plan is set up.

Also my computer is ballistics insane. The screen futzed up a bit somewhere between the DC airport and my granma's apartment, showing dark blacks as reds. The last time this happened was when we replaced the keyboard, so I had Dad try and fix it by making sure the keyboard plug thingie was properly in the slot thingie (shut up, I'm a psychologist, not a technician). No luck, so we figured I'd take it in and have it looked at. A few minutes ago the colors returned to normal...but now some of the number keys aren't working. I'm using Mom's keyboard at the moment, or else I wouldn't be able to use !!!, a punctuation mark I'm trying not to need right now. It's a testimony to how well the new meds are working that I'm not having a total freakout meltdown at this--that and my data's safe and sound and Mozy's been backing it up anyway. So it's all good. I think.

I use brackets because my parentheses don't work.

So due to my computer being futzy, it goes to the shop tomorrow. I don't think the problem will involve anything as complex as replacing the motherboard but one never knows, so I'm backing up all my files just in case and if it has to stay at the shop for a while I can still work on my stuff.

My photos alone {this is excluding art, scans, screenshots, and other people's photographs} come out to thirteen point nine GB. My dad's flash drive, the communal house backup/file transfer device is sixteen GB. I have taken so many pictures over the course of about six or seven years that they are the majority of a government employee's backup system, and all my stored other pictures will have to be burned to CDs or put on one of my other flash drives.

I think I might have a photography addiction. Do they do shutterbug support groups?

EDIT: Going through and deleting some of the extraneous, I really don't need a bunch of useless screenshots or fanart I've already faved on DevArt. I'd forgotten I even had some of this stuff--when did I even download a Blurr/Bumblebee kemonomimi doujinshi? I do not think that needs preserving.
