Maybe I'll Just Get Dentures

"I guess you've got the Eickholt teeth. By the time your grandmother was twenty, she had lost all of hers."
-My mom

I had a pretty good day yesterday. I had no work, no class, and Keith came over and we watched the Venture Bros. while lazing about on the couch. Then, at about eight thirty, I ate dinner and broke a tooth on some broccoli. It went like this: "Munch, munch, munch, CRUNCH - what the fuck was that?" This is the same tooth I got filled a few weeks ago, and now I have to go back to the dentist yet again to get the bastard fixed. (Making for three visits in one month) Fortunately, though, while the tooth is broken it is not causing pain. I'm really hating my teeth right now. I limit my sugar, even though I love sweets, try to drink lots of water, floss, brush well, etc. However, that's apparently not enough. Damn genes. Mom added, "At least you didn't get the Metzger gums." See? There is a bright side.

I called it a night around ten thirty and was woken at one a.m. because my phone was ringing. Keith was calling. No, it wasn't some kind of emergency, "You should come over to Jason's." Because that's exactly what I want to do - get woken up at one in the morning so I can go over to Jason's and hang out with drunk people. Don't get me wrong, they're nice drunks, but, well, screw that. I'm going to have to have a conversation with Keith about not calling me after eleven or so on week nights and not calling me when he's drunk (not to mention when both are the case). Dumbass.

Movie Review: Deliverance. Meh. I've heard a lot of people talk about how everyone should see this movie. I did, and I really don't see what all the fuss is about. The plot lacked cohesion and I didn't really understand what the point of the story was. I think my problem is that I lack testicles. That probably makes the movie better.

Cartoon Review: Venture Bros. Keith is an adult (not adult) cartoon affectionado, so every now and again I get subjected to things from Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Yesterday, was Venture Bros. (A revisitation/satire of Johnny Quest) I had reservations going in, but I have to admit, the show is pretty hilarious. There's plenty of juvenile humor (lots of potty jokes), some obscenity, etc. Basically, it's not the most "intelligent" humor. However, they make some good digs - like a Fantastic Four parody - and Brock Samson is damn funny. When Keith left, I had only finished disc one, and I liked it enough to keep the box so I could watch disc two. Fun stuff.
