Went to the dentist yesterday and got two cavities filled. My mouth is sore and I keep imagining I hear the drill. I know I should stop bitching about all this stuff, but I'm a wimp.

I'm reading a lot right now. I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for about the hundredth time, the first fifty pages of Austerlitz (didn't much like it-- I couldn't get into the plot), and now I'm reading Taibo's The Shadow of the Shadow which is very good. Kind of like Our Man in Havanna or one of the other good Latin-American Graham Greene books.

Oh, and the final I fell asleep in? I got an A- in the class. Go figure.
