Visit to my new dentist
I went to my new dentist today; they call themselves Couture Smiles, and my dentist is Armen Terteryan. Paula did my cleaning – she was very nice, talked a lot, and really cleaned my teeth; reasonably painless, even for a late appointment (I’d been seven months since my last cleaning). No cavities, gums are fine, […]

So, we headed out to West Hollywood and went to Necromance. They have two storefronts that are five […]

More fixes for the blog
I fixed Twitter Tools on Thursday, and now I’ve fixed the page menu on my blog. Turns out the theme I’m using was missing a couple CSS lines (I hate CSS almost as much as I hate JavaScript, but you have to use what you’ve got). I added these two lines to the Menu section […]
