musings from behind the gas mask

as i lay on the the dentist's chair this afternoon, i found myself looking somewhat ridiculous.
i had on sunglasses, a very retro mask delivering a too-high dose of nitrous oxide (because yes, i tend to "tense up" a little at the dentist), and something called a rubber dam in my mouth, which covered the rest of my face. the only part of my face showing was the top half of my forehead- they were rockin' big sunglasses.
i breathed in some nitrous, and thought i felt some great philosophical ideas come in with it
i was all ready for the high-induced creativity to flow. you know, alice in wonderland-esque.


all i got was a free toothbrush.
maybe next time i'll ask for opium.
