Dental Nightmare

My younger brother calls me today and tells me he had to leave work because his teeth were really hurting him – it turns out he has 11 cavities! 11 cavities! 11 cavities since his last dentist visit last year! I mean was this kid churning sugar all night long with his chompers? Simply outrageous!

Anyway, speaking of upkeep, don’t forget people – tomorrow is the last day to register to vote in the election on Nov. 4th. You can register here: www.rockthevote.com. Don’t let your voice go unheard and don’t let this historic once in lifetime chance to get a minority in the White House, whether it’s our first Black president or the first woman VP!

Some new books on the radar (noticed these today in my Nov. issue of O mag)

A Mercyby Toni Morrison
2666: A Novelby Roberto Bolano and Natasha Wimmer

Films I’m dying to see:

<Guerilla
Miracle at St. Anna

Lately, Latina Magazine has been offering amazing recipes on their site. I usually get them in my inbox from the newsletter (but you can find them here: www.latina.com/recipes) and I swear I salivate just reading the titles.

That’s it for me tonight, hasta manana.
