I've been a little out of commission lately. This is because I got two of my wisdom teeth out last week. The picture to the right shows a little bit of swelling on the right side of it. It hurt.

I did not go with the conventional dentist-oral surgeon route, however. No, I instead took part in a study for post-op pain at this mad scientist lab in Austin. All I had to do was go through a screening process and stay overnight on the day of the surgery...and they paid me $400!

Yep, I'm officially a lab rat but all in all it wasn't so bad. It did suck because I definitely received the placebo drug after surgery and I had to wait about an hour and a half before I got the "rescue medication" pain-killers. Oh well, it taught me a little about my pain threshold I guess.

da Baby!

Here is a picture of my new Nephew. I'm sure everyone who reads this blog has seen plenty of pictures of babies lately, but I like this one. Morgan does look a little scared of me but I think it's because someone was talking about my Kickboxing skills.

Moving on Up (to the East side)

Well, it's August 1st and I officially have to say goodbye to my apartment and say hello to a new house. I will be living slightly southeast from where I used to live with the addition of three other dudes. One of these dudes I know from work. The other two are random guys from my friend's church. I met them both last month, though, and I think we'll all get along pretty well.

I'm kind of excited to move in to my new place because I've been living alone for so long now. Even though I loooooove being able to do whatever the hell I want to in the comfort of my own apartment, I think I'm going to like the things that come with this new house (cable, cheaper rent, and friends who like to watch the UFC).

Even though I don't have an extra bedroom anymore, everyone is still invited to come stay with me!
