Not a few people have commented about me having quite a 'wide' threshold of pain. (No) thanks to my frequent migraine attacks that have now essentially became a part of my life, somehow I learned to deal. I mean, if it doesn't kill you, then you can still keep going, right?
But this is something else. My wisdom tooth chose NOW to assert itself, and what an assertion it is. Supposedly, GENERALLY, it's supposed to grow between ages 17 and 25. I am 25. And damn if it didn't do a last-minute catching up on me.
Aching tooth = aching everything. The part that I hate most is sleep deprivation. Nothing more painful than wanting to sleep, every fiber of your being screaming for slumber EXCEPT your tooth. Right now I am still tolerating it. No tears have yet been shed.
And it does not help that my colleague said that in her case, it was a year-long ordeal. Not very comforting, is it? I only hope my so-called threshold of pain is roomy enough.
On another note! Bourne Ultimatum is out, I'm gonna catch it hopefully this weekend. I know a Bourne Ultimatum without Carlos the Jackal is not an ultimatum at all, but Bourne is Bourne. I just hoped they didn't stick to the original Ludlum titles and then changed (some of) the (major) plot points. Well, I know they had to, since the books were set during the Cold War and not really modern-day but still! IMO, the essence of the Bourne saga was the tension between Jason Bourne and Carlos.
I'm still gonna watch it, though. If only for the thrill ride, and to watch my favorite tormented-and-flawed-yet-utterly-human-superspy David Webb a.k.a. Jason Bourne. And let me just say Matt Damon could be the only one to fit the role. (Never much of a fan of his, but He.Is.Jason.Bourne.)
