"When We're Together, I Am Alone"

-
The powerful opening to Bif Naked's great song Tango Shoes, off her album Purge , that ranks right up the with the opening "When the Truth is found to be lies and all the joy within you dies" from Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love.

The usual caveat, I prefer to just listen to the song without watching the video.

I want to like this song, but I am teetering. Of course, as always, I find it amazing how different preferences can be in music. What one hears speaks to them in ways that it cannot for another. I really do like the title and message of the song though! I've felt that at times before in relationships.

Haven't heard the song but that one line does say a lot.

I'll have to check it out.

breal: that's ok, you don't have to like the song. I like it. I don't expect people to share my musical tastes. Her whole album, Purge, is filled with great songs like this. I find her videos distracting, but I don't care, I just pop the CD in the car and crank the volume.

Maybe you would have better luck with reading her lyrics as poetry.

travis: if you are into tattooed and pierced punk rocking ladies, she's your gal.

Risky Singapore?

-
CBC Radio had a documentary on Singapore and its lack of risk taking yesterday (only just heard it this morning). Since I know there are 1 or 2 Singaporean readers of this blog, I am curious to know how accurate the documentary is. I find that people often have mistaken impressions about other cultures and people. You can hear it here .

Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

-
I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some
