SP Happenings #23
Posted Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 23:48 CET by Sorcerer

Let me tell you the tale of my day... To begin this day of hell, I got a parking ticket early in the morning, then at one of my English seminars, got a lousy schedule for a presentation on a dead boring topic. After I got back from uni, I went to my dentist because one of my wisdom teeth is growing sideways into my other teeth (talk about a scary x-ray), and was told it'll have to be removed... After that, Satan's Bride (my brute of a dentist) gives me three injections and starts cutting up the flesh around the tooth and jolting it around. At that point, I didn't really feel anything yet. Of course, after I came home, the injections started to wear off... I was lying on my bed for 5 hours thinking I will literally go crazy because the pain was so excruciating I was crying for the whole 5 hours. Finally, over the last couple of hours the pain started to subside a bit so I could eat the first thing today... or better, drink. Soup. Because my mouth is still so swollen I can't even properly close it, let alone chew anything. To top this wonderful day, a package I sent to someone got returned because the ****** wouldn't take it and I had to pay for the postage there and back. Also, carrying some wood I got a splinter in my right index finger that went in so deep I had to cut open half of the finger to get it out. In short, I've had better days.

The screenshot of the new design that I promised last week has been delayed for a while longer at least, since we have made some last minute changes to the design and unfortunately it is not ready for public presentation yet. Due to my suffering from terrible toothache yesterday (continuation of that is described above), I was not really able to put the SP merch store up as promised. I still haven't received the samples myself, but as I was assured they look great, I'm confident enough to open the store now. Be sure to check out the Sorcerer's Place Merchandise Shoppe, and leave your feedback in this thread on our boards. Huge thanks to Gopher for his exceptional work on designing all this stuff according to my wishes.

Well, I'm sure I'm forgetting some things which I still wanted to put in this week's Happenings, but my tooth simply hurts too much at present for me to be able to concentrate on anything, so whatever I've missed now will be dealt with next week.
