Amsterdam and the Dentist

These is some bike riding muddafuckas around here, I can tell ya. Today is actually the 8th, and I'm in a town called Amersfoort at a Dutch Best Western. I'll be rolling in to Amsterdam in two days.

I don't understand why the Europeans can't get the Hotel thing right. It's like being in a bad dorm room at a junior college.

Two twin beds pushed together, wicker desk chairs, a plywood sliding door on the bathroom, and a goddam shower you practically have to climb into. I don't want to have to do any climbing if I'm naked. At all.

They don't charge you any less, either. Same price, shitty hotel. I think they must store it in an escrow account in case you kill yourself trying to climb out of the goddam shower and trip on your wang.

One nice thing about the Dutch is that they all speak English, or at least will try. You don't get that everywhere. And generally people are very friendly.

Made it to Amsterdam on the 10th.

Crazy place.

I was to the dentist the other day. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not a model dentistry subject.

You should probably not, at any time, have your dentist say to you, "Um, that's my finger".

I sit there the entire time actually thinking about what domesticated sons a bitches we are, to be able to let people dig around in our our mouths with those metal picks and whirring drills voluntarily. All the while with my tongue getting in the way while the hygienist is trying to scrape the calcium deposits off the back of my teeth.

I once went six years without going to the dentist. Six of the most relaxing years of my life.

I've got all my wisdom teeth. Have since I was 19. The bottom two have grown in on almost a 45 degree angle, and the dentist is insisting that even though they've been like this for 17 years, with out any discomfort, mind you, it's a federal fucking emergency to get them out to avoid bone loss.

What's say we let me worry about my bone. I'd prefer not to have you to cut me open and yank my teeth out, mmmmkay?

Anyway, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow night.

My New Years resolution for 2004 is to wear more vests.
