Mack's scar was starting to get inflamed so I brought him to the vet. He got a shot which helped and has to go back for another checkup next week. They said if it keeps acting up, he's going to need surgery again. I hope it doesn't come down to that.
Been doing well on Magic the last few days. I hit top 8 on a 64 player draft and qualified for the M11 championship. 444 people in it, my chances to win are nill. It starts in half an hour. But it should be fun to play a few rounds and maybe I can open some money. I went 3-1 in a sealed swiss the other night, and then forgot i signed up for a draft because I was playing starcraft. By the time I got back into the draft, it was halfway done. I got pissed after I lost the first round to an Inferno Titan both games and decided to do a 4-3-2-2 and won it. Went 3-1 in a zen block constructed last weekend and 2-1 in TNMO the other night. I ended up with 8 points last season, pretty good. I played the tribal event a few times and then stopped. Think i'm going to start playing it again soon. Definitely going to start playing constructed tribal until it rotates out.
Was supposed to go mountain biking with chris two weeks ago. Went to mom's and he didn't feel like going. I didn't feel like going for a few minutes but then I wanted to go but didn't want to force him. Sitting around their house wasn't what I wanted to do all day. We ended up going to walmart to get our fishing licenses, hoping to go fishing after dinner. We did play tennis after that. My back was really starting to bother me and during tennis it started to get real bad. It was sore for days after that but has finally started getting better.
Dale and Shirley came up for a barbeque the day after. I cooked some burgers, steaks, dogs, sausage. They were here all day. It wasn't bad.
Asleigh came last weekend. Kenny and Cindy stayed here for a while. Didn't know if we were supposed to feed them dinner or not. Holly was good to me and I didn't have to do anything with the kids during the weekend. She took them to the mall to Build a Bear and to the fair. My back was still acting up at this point.
I bought a cheap weight bench and some weights and starting working. I don't know if that's what really helped my back but it's been better since. I drove to mom's yesterday to drop Jeremy off. He has been scheduled to go there for a few days but the timing hasn't been great. Chris asked me if I wanted to hang out on Friday so it worked out. I was a little cautious before doing all that driving but it didn't really bother me. I was hoping to get to mom's early so we could go early. We got to the trail at around 1. We do the small first section and Chris has a flat tire. I'm pretty pissed off at this point. There was no walmart in the area so we had to drive back to dickson city which was 30 mins away. We go to dick's, take care of the tire and go back. All the driving is making me tired. We do a small section and I notice my crank is loose. FUCK! Thankfully the crank lasts the trip although my bike feels like garbage. The shock needed air, the back tire falls off randomly and the whole thing does feel stable. I'd like to get a new bike during the offseason. We stop at Lindsor Inn for Wings and Pierogies. The food is great, go home and eat some of mom's pizza. I leave their house around 8, get back and just hang out.
Jeremy is staying a few days so Holly and I are going to go to the casino and out to dinner. She wanted to go the Pittston tomato festival. I wouldn't have minded if it was closer but that's a pretty far drive and I was in the car for like five hours yesterday.
We went to Jeremy's school orientation earlier in the week. His school seems alright, good enough for kids that age. I wasn't impressed but wasn't horrified. I have to start school next week :(.

Summer
Summer has gone fast. Jeremy is scheduled for AM kindergarten, which only lasts from 8:30-11:15. I was hoping to take some morning classes but that puts a damper in that.
Holly's vacation was pretty shitty. Mac swallowed a three pieces of that rubber bone and needed surgery. Cost us 1100 dollars. Holly was sick basically her whole vacation.
My hockey started off strong but ended really shitty. They waited too long to collect money so guys got their share of playing for a few weeks and then quit. We only had 2-3 people show up for the last few games and even when they combined our team with another team, there wasn't enough. I drove down there twice for games that were canceled and changed and it was upsetting. Such good potential. Holly has asked me to ref a few times and I might go this sunday for 50 dollars for three games. Decent money.
Dale and Shirley were supposed to come down on the weekend but didn't because Benny is getting sent of to jail. Yesterday.
Started writing magic articles and have had 4 published so far. They pay about 20 credits each which is decent. Haven't felt like writing them much lately but have two or three in the works. No one seems to really like my articles and they don't comment on them. I don't care, I just want the credits.
I was planning on playing in two M11 prereleases but only played in one. I opened a Primeval Titan! I quickly sold it for 50 tickets. I figured it wouldn't rise above that rate and right now it is about 55, which isn't too much of a difference. I expect it to drop a lot during the release events which begin tomorrow. The prize support is pretty shitty for prerelease events and I figured the Sun Titan's would be fairly cheap but they aren't as cheap as i thought it would be. I want to start playing in more constructed tournaments, which i haven't much lately. Going to play in a few M11 release events, hopefully qualify for the championship series but I doubt it. At least start playing standard or Zen block constructed. Probably would prefer standard. Want to play in at least one every day or other day, especially if i'm scoring prizes.
Bought Starcraft 2 last week. Got a 20 dollar coupon good at Kmart. They're starting to have some decent game deals. This week they had a buy a 20 dollar psn card, get 10 dollars coupon back. Didn't know whether or not I was going to buy it because it was sixty dollars and I bought a whole bunch of games during the steam summer sale but I decided to get it and I'm glad I did. I suck at it and still don't know how to play it well but I'm having fun with it. Beat MGS4 last night after playing for a few hours straight. The end of the game was pretty great. Got through a few stages through Bioshock 2, it's been pretty decent. Had a 10 dollar amazon coupon that was about to expire so I bought Assasin's Creed 2 for 25 less the coupon. Pretty decent deal.
Read 2010, 2061, and 3001 in the last few weeks. Also read "The Natural". Natural is chris's favorite. I thought it was alright, not the greatest. Rented a few financial books this week, one about Lehman brothers, don't know if i'm going to finish them. The puppet shows are over, Jeremy only missed one of them. I'm glad they're over, they were getting pretty crowded and the parents were pretty annoying.
Started watching that Louie show and it's been pretty funny, better than his other series. Started watching Dexter again, watched the third season and it as ok. Have nothing much to watch.
Went to see Inception the other night by myself because Holly saw it with Jess a few weeks ago. I liked it, best movie I've seen in a while. Been a pretty shitty summer movie season.
Went to the casino to see chris deal and to eat at the buffet. Chris fucked up as soon as he started dealing and he told us to leave. It was making me nervous watching him anyway. The buffet food was decent, not as many selections as Old Country. Their chienese was good, so was the pizza and stuffed shells. We got there at like 745 and the buffet closes at 8. Weird that it closes so early. I played blackjack for the first time. I tried to play at a 10 dollar table but they were all taken. I played for like half a shoe at a 15 dollar table. I set out to lose like 150 but the dealer busted a bunch of times and I walked away 95 dollars up. The broad next to me hit blackjack 2 times where I would've hit because I had a 10 as well. I liked playing and have the itch to play again. Dad played 20 dollars on roulette and was watching craps for about an hour but didn't play. I went back to the house for a little while to hang out with chris. He dealt me some blackjack on his table and we played with the iphone.
