dentist toys

The dentist I went to as a kid had a basket full of little toys from which you were allowed to take one after having your teeth checked. I never refused to go see the dentist. I think, I actually liked going. I'm easy that way.
This week, I had three dentist appointments and after he mentioned something about an upcoming root treatment/canal, I figured, I had really earned my toy this time (it's not the same dentist, mind you, I have been changing dentist a lot).
Luckily, the best toy I could think of was released today.
A new toy! Woohoo! I wanted to play immediately! But...
the game requires 3.5 GB HD space (and I knew that) so I had to burn a DVD first to have enough space (that is very annoying if you want to play now).
After installing the game without any problems, I tried to start it but kept getting an error message that it won't do that because of a cd emulation software it had found. All I could think of was daemon tools (which was disabled at that time). I told pixel about it and (thank you, thank you , thank you) she found out that I have to uninstall Clone CD.

You gotta be kidding me, EA.

Anyway, I did as I was told (I never really used that software anyways. Actually, I don't even remember how the UI looks like.) and now I'm all set (including pizza).

I am currently reading Hayden Herrera's A biography of Frida Kahlo. This is the first biography I am reading and I really enjoy it. Can anyone recommend other biographies or memoirs?
