Weekend Video: Comic Book Heaven

I promise you this is not a sad documentary.


Comic Book Heaven from E.J. McLeavey-Fisher on Vimeo.

Seriously. Not sad.

I had a filling installed this week. I went to my new dentist a week ago or so, and he said, "we should take care of that. It's small now, and should be pretty easy. Come in next week."

So I came in next week, and I got it taken care of. He was not the first, or even the second, dentist to tell me to come in and get that taken care of. I do not have dentist anxiety. Have I mentioned that, in my household, "a trip to the dentist," is an idiom for an idea that sounds like a good idea, but really is more like a pain to get through?

Anyway.

The family of numbing agents related to Novocain don't work so well for me, and I have unusually hard enamel. That's what they tell me about my enamel. I don't need to be told the numbing agent isn't working. I can figure that out for myself. And I'm sitting there in the chair, and it's tilted way back, and I have my hands stuck in my pockets to keep my wallet from falling out, and the dentist gives me a little topical, and then gives me a shot of something, and then comes back four minutes later.

I don't know how long I'm there, but only about three songs play on the radio overhead, and we're done.

And that experience at the dentist is a sadder story than this documentary about Comic Book Heaven.
