Actually, just another Monday, but the sun is bright, the sky a vivid blue with little white puffy clouds, and the leaf color is just spectacular. Being a weekday, the areas that have the best combination of trees and ancient shrines and temples will be MUCH less crowded, so I usually prefer to shoot during the week rather than on the weekends.

ARe you sure those turkeys will be easier to shoot on a weekday?

I don't mess with Rambo Turkey. I go for the frozen one with the little pop-up doohicky. I ordered it last week and it should be here on the 18th or 19th. I don't think I've ever seen turkeys in any Japanese supermarkets, but there is an import shop in Kobe (about 60k from me) that used to carry a few this time of year.

I'm not a real big fan of turkey. I can eat it hot one day, and eat good turkey soup another day or two, but that fixes me for the rest of the year. Once, at a wake, the women cooked up three 35lb turkeys in wood ovens and I was fortunate to get a drumstick. I felt like Louis XIV gnawing away on this thing that was the size of a bowling pin, and loved the experience. It was a shame that it took a wake to give me my best turkey experience.

... and red leaves don't shoot back!

I just disappointed my father by reminding him I won't be working on Wednesday because of my dentist's appointment. He expected I could start a bit later but still work. Considering a wisdom tooth is going to be extracted, which means an anaesthetic that'll take hours to wear off, I don't think I'll be in the mood to help customers that day.

I'm already nervous because with my previous dentist it went wrong when he pulled a wisdom tooth. I'm least looking forward to the anaesthetic, the injection into the jaw muscle isn't fun and the last time it felt like I was punched in the jaw for several days afterwards. Luckily after Wednesday I just have to go back one more time to get my other wisdom tooth pulled and some fillings replaced, hopefully that'll be it for a while.

They put me "out" all the way when my wisdom teeth were removed. All at once. So yes, it took a day of recovering!

When my wisdom teeth were removed, the follow-up painkiller prescription only lasted a day (or two? -- don't recall). The prescription ran out, and the pain was soooo bad for another day (or two?). I called the office, but it was a friday afternoon: all they could do was phone a weak rx to my pharmacy. Vicodin, I think. It was like taking asprin for major surgery.

The moral is: be sure you have 3-4 days of a strong painkiller afterward.

When I had mine out, they suggested doing them all at once, so I would only feel miserable once. I'm glad I did it that way, as I'm not sure I would have looked forward to going back again.

I hope all goes well for you on Wednesday.

Only a day? I was in ospidale for 2 nights and then a week at home.

My bottom ones had to be broken up to be removed.

OOh and the having the stiches removed a couple of weeks later. YUK!

'orrible stuff.

Hopefully rumpelteaser have normal wisdom teeth that will just pop out.

My old and new dentist don't like to numb your whole mouth so they do one side (fillings and pulling) on Wednesday and in two weeks the other side.

My top two wisdom teeth have been removed years ago by my old dentist. The right one wasn't a problem and it didn't hurt much afterwards. When pulling the left one the anaesthetic wasn't working, my dentist didn't believe me when after the second injection I told him so, so that was pulled without pain relief. I was sick for two days after that.

My new dentist told me he can pull them but, considering what had happened, he offered to refer me to a specialist to have it done under general anaesthetic. I chose to have it done by my dentist since the first wisdom tooth didn't cause any problems and he promised me that if the anaesthetic isn't working we'll make a new appointment and he'll try to anaesthetise it a different way.

But even though I know it will all go all right I'm still nervous and I wish I could read during the procedure to distract me.

My plan for Wednesday is that after I get home I'll curl up in bed with my ereader and my notebook with season 3 of Fringe.

Just finished Portal 2. What a great game, with a fantastic sense of humour, fiendish puzzles and a whole lot of fun helped in no small measure by Stephen Merchant as the voice of the idiot robot.
