marcicatAUDIOBOOKS AT THE DENTIST: A REVIEW
*Yesterday I was at the dentist office, having some work done. Not too long, thank goodness; only about 40 minutes. And instead of music, I had AN AUDIOBOOK.
*I happened to be listening to a VERY DRAMATIC part of the book at that moment, so while I have a vague recollection that the dentist did all the usual things, my brain was SUPER DISTRACTED by hearing about fighting vampires in a forest.
*The timing worked out well, and probably isn't something I could predict with any accuracy. Would have been LESS GREAT if the book happened to be at, say, a sex scene. AWKWARD.
*But overall a success! I didn't mention that it was an audiobook this time, so I escaped the 'oh, what book are you listening to?' questions. (It was Dianne Duvall's 'Night Reigns,' which I wasn't averse to sharing. It's just that the dentist already perceives my physical existence more than I'd really prefer, and it's comforting to still have some things be private.)
