Adventures and Whatnot
So, my roommate Mathew, lost part of his front left tooth in the wave pool at Michigan Adventure. It was a pretty scary moment. He miscalculated his dive and smacked his face on the bottom of the pool, which is cement. He came up with his hand over his mouth and at first our two other friends and myself didn’t really know what the hell was going on. Then he moved his hand away from this mouth. I asked one of the life guard ladies where first aid was. And of course, first aid isn’t really first aid. They just take down all your information for liability purposes and then tell you there is nothing they can really do. So luckily I was able to cancel the booked hotel room and we drove back home and his dentist was kind enough to come in on emergency and take a look. He actually ended up repairing the tooth in an hour without an assistant. You’d never know part of his tooth was ever missing. The dentist did an amazing job.
Originally the idea was to go to Michigan Adventure, stay the night in a hotel room and then the next day we were going to go see Transformers 2 in IMAX. With the dentist being able to fix his tooth that day we were both up to go see the movie the next day, as were our friends. So our friend drove everyone about an hour away to see the movie in IMAX. We were going to catch the 6:10 showing. When we went to get our tickets we were informed that the show was sold out and that the 9:00 o’clock showing was sold out as well. The next IMAX showing wouldn’t be until midnight. So, sadly we went to see the movie in just regular theater format at 7:00. It was still kickass though. Great movie. Way more vulgarities used in the second film though. That was a little over the top, but other than that is was a good movie. Tomorrow we are going to the Detroit Institute of Arts, which I have never been. A few weeks ago we visited the Detroit Zoo. I still need to go through all the photos and then post them on Flickr.
Tomorrow night when we get back I hope to get together with the D&D group. We’ve been trying to play at least once per week and we need to finish our little campaign before our friend goes off to Denver to a book publishing camp (essentially). Monday and Tuesday I really have no plans. Wednesday I go back to work. I work Wednesday and Thursday and then have Friday and Saturday off. That worked out nicely. Friday I plan on going to a poetry reading one city over and then I still need to figure out what I am going to do for the Forth of July.
But anyways, that’s what has been happening. All very exciting I know. I’m just happy for the break from work. It’s nice.
