Mutterings from wounded gums

I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and it really was awful at first -- the gauze in my mouth was so uncomfortable, and I couldn't even drink the milkshake my mom made for me because it was too cold. But now I'm feeling pretty good as long as I don't poke at the holes in my gums. And take my vicodin. :) No adventures for a few days, alas. On the plus side, I might drop a few pounds. XD Mel and Jen are coming to visit me, so it's all good.

My concert buddy and fellow future Cantabridgian Guy (that's what people from Cambridge call themselves...cumbersome, ain't it?) invited me to the Brand New show in Lowell this December. I had been listening to them rather obsessively on the tour bus in Asia, so of course I'm really psyched, but...DECEMBER? This guy is on top of his stuff. I love him. I bought our tickets and he's handling the car business. Why Lowell? Boston venues must suck or something. Also, everyone (*cough*MUSE, Bright Eyes, Dashboard*cough*) is playing New England in the summer and Cali in the fall. >> I probably should have gotten Projekt Rev tickets...but they were overpriced, and I just saw MCR anyway XD. Plus I'm reserving my Taking Back Sunday show for a date with Guy, since they're one of the few of his bands he's still never seen, and Placebo and Saosin...eh, their time will come. Plus I disapprove of Chester's deliberate misspelling (my pet peeve) in the tour name. For shame, neighbor, for shame!

I played a Wii for the first time last week! I went with Jenny to buy hers, since she's been on the waiting list for a month. We played lots of Sports and I got fairly competent at tennis, of all things. I'm awful at the surgery game and pretty bad at the cooking game, though, because I really can't control the fine position of the remote very well. I always kind of sucked at gaming, which is why I never got too into it beyond old school Nintendo. XD I've been feeling very attached to Jen ever since our trip together. To be honest, it's going to be hard for me to leave her next month. We were just as far apart during college, but our grad school/med school breaks will be shorter, and things are different now between us. And here I thought we might fight and be sick of each other. Ironic.
