Last week I got a filling in one of my teeth (technically between two teeth) and during the procedure I could feel the drilling but discounted that to the fact that the dentist hadnt waited that long after numbing me to start; furthermore, when I consume cold liquids now I can feel it inside the tooth but otherwise I feel no pain. Should I assume that a nerve is exposed and I need a root canal and how long can I wait before getting one if this is the case (I just recently got one in a different tooth and honestly have no plans of going near a dentist again for quite a while). Thanks for your help!

Dear Diary,

Disappointing news—John asked for plastic surgeon’s number for Joe Lieberman, not for self. Went on and on about how Joe L. could use face lift. Told him that somebody should look in mirror but don’t think he heard me, as J has not remembered to wear hearing aid much lately. Uncertain if this due to actual memory lapses or to avoid hearing what campaign manager tells him about current polls.

Phone ringing—it’s Meghan!

Oh goodness, spent greater part of hour talking Meghan down. M convinced is being stalked by mutant half-human creature “Bat Boy” after seeing article on Weekly World News. Apparently she began reading said publication in part of attempt to “become better informed on international happenings”. Gently explained M should stick to publications like The New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, and Cosmo for accurate and impartial reporting. Meghan cheered considerably by my suspicion Bat Boy, like evolution, may not actually be real.

The GG crew heads to Yale for the weekend, and Jenny convinces Rufus to let her be homeschooled to pursue her fashion career (yawn) Fashion Loser: Shockingly, all Blair! 1) Blair sleeping in what looked like a cocktail dress at the beginning of the episode (never classy to sleep in what you wore the night before, B) 2) Blair’s funeral-esque getup at the Dean’s dinner party, complete with huge horrendous bow and 3) Her mismatched skirt/blouse ensemble at the end. SERIOUS case of conflicting stripes. Fashion Winner: Serena’s dress at the Dean’s dinner. A bit low-cut for a college visit, but it fit her like a glove. Take a gossip girl fashion quiz on this episode! Worst moment(s): “The only real Ivies are the holy trinity—Harvard, Yale, and Princeton” –Blair. Sure, if you’re an elitist snob. Oops, forgot who was talking! and The Blair/Serena reconciliation. Like the Georgina story arc last season, Gossip Girl likes to build up great storylines and then diffuse them in the most anti-climactic way possible! After the stunt Blair pulled at the Dean’s dinner, I didn’t think it was gonna be possible for S to forgive her. Then they just make up, and resolve nothing. WTF, GG? Best Moment: Blair’s jealous meltdown in the Dean’s office after being shocked by Serena: “My hair might not sparkle when the light hits it” Best quote: “I’m tired of always looking like Darth Vader next to Sunshine Barbie”—Blair OVERALL: B Episode nearly completely ruined by last minute unrealistic Blair/Serena reunion. It’s like the writers get bored with a story line and don’t want to follow through. Beyond that, classic episode: Loved chuck infiltrating skull and bones only to get dirt on its members, Nate dealing with the reality of his father’s embezzling, and Nate/Dan mistaken identities.
