The Freak Chronicles

I wake up to find my teeth still ache from having all FOUR wisdom teeth removed from over the past week! It is slowly getting better. Although I don’t even remember falling asleep when I was under the general aesthetic before they began the surgery. I was very groggy and dizzy after for a while. On the second day after the surgery I puked profusely and almost had a major seizure but I was able to stop it thankfully. Lately my teeth have been very stiff but I am progressively recovering well.  I wake up at ten o’clock. I turn on my television in my room and gradually awaken my senses. I space out to the mind numbing comedy of “This Hour Has 22 Minutes”. I take my medication at ten thirty. I hear silent noises and wonder if it is my eight year old brother, Felix. He returned home late with my mom last night and my mom warned me she may allow him to sleep in this morning. I finally turn off the television, get out of bed and walk down the hall to the edge of the stairs. I find a note for Felix from my mother on the banister. Felix comes out of his room and says good morning. He heads downstairs and I go to the washroom. I walk back to my room to get dressed. I head down to the basement and turn on my new imac which unfortunately has a few dead pixels that I hope to get replaced soon. It doesn’t bother me too much. They are basically unnoticeable. Felix joins me to read about the exciting “The Dark Knight” news on the computer- a new trailer description that is apparently going to premiere in two weeks! I chat on the superherohype boards about the issue and watch “The Dark Knight” trailer constantly as Felix heads back upstairs to go play on the family computer. My mother, Marietta who is a french teacher arrives home around 11:30 am. She makes Macaronni for Felix and I for a late breakfast. Felix goes back to school with mom at 12:30. I watch an episode of “Freaks and Geeks” with my macaronni when Felix and my mom leave for the afternoon. After the episode I go up to my room and collect my sketchbook full of illustrations for my ‘children’s book’, “Diamonds are Forever’ by Ian Fleming, and  ”Jurassic Park” by Michael Crichton. I spend the afternoon reading and working on my illustrations outside on the porch in the sun. At 3:30 I come inside to have some lunch composed of Ginger Ale, cheese, smoked salmon and a banana while watching a Seinfeld rerun on TVTropolis. I don’t laugh at it much though because I have seen all the episodes so many times. I head back downstairs to post on the superherohype boards in regard to the upcoming “The Dark Knight” trailer. My middle brother, Robin arrives home at 4 pm from school with his friend, Quinn. Quinn is basically a brother to me and I treat him as such without a doubt. Felix and my mom get home from school around 5 pm. Robin’s friends , Katie Kohut and Sara Scanlon stops by the house briefly. However my mom and Felix head out to Felix’s Cubs meeting and get supplies not long after at 6:30 and return at 7:30. I hang out downstairs with Robin and Quinn. They play XBOX 360 and I listen to a few tunes and speak to a few of my friends on msn. I turn off my computer and have dinner at 8:45 while I watch another episode of “Freaks and Geeks”. Quinn leaves at 8:50 for his house. Later after I take my medication at ten thirty I watch Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein” and fall asleep watching an old film on TCM.
