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.

I’m less than a week away from my vacation. I’m am so looking forward to it. Not that I don’t love my job, I just need a break like everyone else. So far this summer I haven’t done much of what I had planned to do. I wanted to get back into writing, but I am so uninspired. I really wanted to make an effort to write and submit to magazines. I still will, I just…had it in my head that this is what I would do all summer and that was unrealistic. On July third I am going to a poetry reading so I hope to get inspired there. So far I have just been relaxing and having some nerdy fun. I’ve been playing World of Warcraft a lot lately. I am finally to level 47. I’ve also been getting together with a group of friends to play Dungeons and Dragons. We are actually having session tonight. This morning I plan to hit the library and do a little shopping.

I need to be home before 1pm because the Terminix guys are coming out again. They were able to do the initial spray and our landlord bought the year protection plan so we can call whenever we have a problem. We are seeing less of the ants but we have seen a few in the past week with wings and that is not a good sign. They are supposed to arrive here anywhere in between 1 and 5pm so I want to get my shopping out of the way in the morning and then just settle in in the afternoon and watch some Six Feet Under. I have been renting the seasons from Netflix and I really enjoy this show. It’s nice watching shows when the series is over and you can get them all on DVD. I don’t have to wait for new seasons to start. So nice. I also use Netflix instant play a lot and hulu.com. I’ve been re-watching Death Note on Hulu. Of course, the one Anime I want to own is no longer being made so I have to order it from netflix and watch it.

Searching amazon.com… HA! They are re-realeasing Samurai Champloo on DVD on June 30th. Pre-ordering now! Yippee! It’s the one anime I can watch over and over again. Death Note I stop watching after a certain point when one of my favorite character dies. I also like Blood+. The show is so different from the Movie, but I like both if I pretend they are not related. My brother Michael had me watch a movie called Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal. I also really enjoyed the movie Howl’s Moving Castle and would like to own that one as well.

How did I get on the topic of anime? I have been watching a lot of it this summer. I’ve also been reading a lot. But everyone can see that on my goodreads account.

Wow. I need to get going if I’m going to make it back here before 1.

Trouble comes in threes. So we should be set for at least twenty years.

1. Septic field is shot.
2. Roommate’s ceiling has a water leak.
3. Carpenter ants may have a colony in roommates wall.

Needless to say, I’m sure my landlord is tired of having the fix problems with the house. My hugest fear is that she is going to get back to me (just emailed her about ant problem), and she is going to say this is just too much and tell us to find a new place to live. If that’s the case, I would be terrified to go back home. My brother would hate me until my death. He has taken my old room and really made it his own…and probably not give it back. His old room is now the music room, which I don’t think he would be willing to give up either. Oy. I’m just going to pray to Buddha that she does not kick us out. We like it here.

It’s pretty sad when I have a day off like today and I can’t think of a single thing to do. In one way, this is a good thing. I have no obligations. However, this lack of anything to do has ironically left me with a headache. I got up, took the trash out, talked with the landlord, defrosted chicken, tooled around online, went to the store for some groceries and now am writing this post. It’s 4 o’clock. I got up at 9 am. Needless to say I have sat on my ass a lot today…and the weird thing is, I feel guilty about it. I don’t know if my brain feels that I should do something rather than nothing on my day off, but it kind of pisses me off. I work nearly 40 hours a week. I deserve a break. So why do I feel so damn guilty about doing nothing?

Perhaps playing around on Photoshop will make me feel a little better. *sigh*
