So, June is turning out to be an exceptionally busy month here and I wanted to give you a heads up on some things, get your advice on some of those and then get excited about something else.

Item #1: Thursday (tomorrow, June 10), I will be going into the Dentist to have my wisdom teeth extracted. At 34, I’ve been told that it’s a much more difficult healing process. Anyone out there had such an experience and can give me advice on what to expect?

But one thing is for certain, I will most likely be out of it tomorrow. So, later today, I’ll be posting the fifth week of the Summer Box Office Prediction Contest for your perusal. In addition, I’ve prepped the next Film Fun Friday in case I am still zonked on Friday and can just hit “Publish” and stuff.

Item #2: Monday, June 28, I have been summoned for jury duty. This will be my third such invitation, which is rather odd considering I know people who are registered to vote and are older than I am and have been called fewer times. Guess I’m special.

My first such experience, I waited for an hour, got in, got interviewed, waited some more and was told that the case they were considering was being settled, so we could all go home, but call back later to see if they needed us the next day. So, I called back and they postponed until later in the week, then told us it had been canceled altogether.

The second time, I called the night before and my group had been canceled.

So, this time, I’m fully expecting the same thing to happen (I’m in Group 10, after all), so it shouldn’t impact too much. However, if for some reason they do call me in and, for some reason I get selected for a jury, my update patterns may be inhibited. For how long, I don’t know, but I thought I’d tell you in advance so that if you get no updates that week, you know why.

Item #3: This is going to be a bit of bragging on my part, but my 1st gen iPhone has been having problems for awhile (the buttons don’t always work right). So, with my contract up, I will be able to pre-order an iPhone4. I’m really excited about it, not because of all the cool new features, but because it will be new and hopefully play all my games faster. Is anyone else out there planning on getting a new iPhone or getting their first?
