Rainy days and Mondays...sometimes get me down. I'm not quite as dismal about things as The Carpenters. Today I would have preferred to have stayed home in bed, but no such luck. Sadly, I'm actually looking forward to 'Root Canal, Part Two' tomorrow afternoon. I was chewing on some 'Sugar Babies' on Friday night at the movie (review to follow) when suddenly something didn't feel right. Lo and behold, I lost part of the back of the tooth on either one or both of my root canal victims. I've been in a world of pain ever since and taking Ibus like they're going out of style! I just hope this doesn't mean even more work and/or trips to the dentist office! I also hope that whatever they do this time will actually hold the damn teeth together for more than 3 days! This is getting ridiculous!
So...'Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning' should have been titled 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (and it can't get worse from here). I was colossally disappointed in the movie. After all, wasn't it supposed to be preemptive of all the gruesomeness to come? Granted, with R. Lee Ermy you are virtually promised to have some great lines and terrific humor, and he certainly delivered. I was disappointed with several aspects of the movie, let me name just a few. As the title of the movie suggests, we are to be given a history of Leatherface. Now we do learn of his beginnings but all in the first two minutes of the film. I was hoping for a bit more depth to this exploration and also, being a lover of psychology, was hoping for more delving into the mind of the man himself. I will say the acting was good all around and there were some great scenes. From the gore factor, it does stand up to the 2003 remake. It definitely lends to the 70's 'slasher fests' which gives it a great overall creep factor as well. Just didn't think it lived up to the hype. I'd wait for the dvd!

I had to laugh about you losing your tooth on some "Sugar Babies". I was laughing at the circumstance; not at the pain you endured as a result. Last year when I had a temporary crown on one of my molars, I decided to chew a caramel--big mistake. I think I wound up spending a half an hour in the women's bathroom at work trying to clean off the caramel from the temporary crown that had come loose. To make matters worse, when chewing the caramel, the temporary crown came loose without my realization and I bit down on it with one of my canines. Ouch!
yep, I bit down on my little tooth fragment also...that was the part that didn't feel right.
damn caramel candies...
