Tooth aches, card readers, and DS games

Ugh. I’ve been wanting to write about so many things this past week, but I just don’t have the time or energy. My teeth have been hurting like hell the past couple of days making it feel like my face is about to explode. Since it’s mostly my top back teeth, I think it’s sinus-related, but I’m not sure. I plan on making an appointment to see my doctor this weekend since I can’t take much more of this pain.

My 8-in-1 card reader died which blows because now I have to hook up my camera to download photos. I bought the reader a year ago and so far Lexar hasn’t been very helpful. I e-mailed them explaining how I’ve tried a different USB cord and even plugging it into another computer and it doesn’t even light up to indicate it’s plugged in or reading a card. I got an e-mail back from them suggesting the things I already did. I replied and asked whether they are going to fix it. I doubt they will, but if I don’t ask I’ll never know for sure. So now I need to buy a new one and I don’t think it will be another Lexar. Any suggestions? I need something that reads both Compact Flash and SD and is under $20. I only paid $9.99 for the one I had (amazing, since I see it everywhere online for $35).

It’s been super busy at work this week, making me ever so glad I’m off Friday. The stress is causing me to grind my teeth, which is making my teeth hurt even more. By the time I get home from work my jaw is killing me and I end up vegging out in front of the tv and playing with the Nintendo DS. Yesterday we went to Toys “R” Us and got three new games since it was buy two get one free: Tetris DS, New Super Mario Brothers, and Bubble Bobble Revolution. So far I’ve played Tetris and it’s even more fun than I remembered. We also got Dig Dug Digging Strike the other day for only $10.48. Other than the stupid story, it’s fun. I hate games that have a bunch of dialog you have to read before you get to the action. It is so annoying!

Anyway, time for bed. I’m hoping I can get a relief from the pain I’m in since two extra strength Tylenol and two Sudafeds haven’t had any positive effect.
