I almost gave in & bought 8 movies at Amazon today, all but 1 of which were under $10 used... But I'm trying not to spend money. blah. Boring. And I didn't end up watching "Sugar" the other day.

After driving Mark to work Tuesday morning, I headed straight to Grandma's house, and arrived at almost exactly the same time as Janice & the kids. We had a fantastic visit, with lots of fun had by all, except for a small exchange between Janice & I, at Kroger. Justin & Jordan were with us, and I told Janice that the one of the things I regretted about not coming out to her sooner was that we were never able to look at guys together, and she said that was inappropriate to say in front of her kids because it related to sex, which I thought was weird because I didn't think it had anything to do with sex, and the thought hadn't even crossed my mind. What inspired the thought in the first place was this hot blondie boy that walked by that I couldn't help but notice, but whom Janice didn't notice at all, which shocked me. Janice later said that she had talked to her kids about me 2 years ago (or so) and she couldn't remember what was said, but that it was positive, but the way she told me & then said she couldn't remember...I'm not so sure.

Whatever she said to them couldn't have been super terrible, because they seem awefully excited to see me & spend time with me, and they are playful with Mark as well - and have asked me questions about him... But I wonder what Janice said exactly. She could have told them that I was evil. lol I don't know. It's in the back of my mind now, and it's not cool.

After all that I headed home, got the mail, took an all too brief nap and before picking Mark up from work, heading back home and going to bed; the kids always wear me out! lol I slept from 6pm-1am. I got online later, and chatted with Jonathan, who had left me two phone messages, that I hadn't gotten yet - we planned for my Wednesday visit, around 4:30pm at their place in Hillsdale. Ironically Shawn was in Ann Arbor when we made these plans; at UofM Hospital with a friend of his with Chrohn's Disease. UofM Hospital isn't even 3 blocks from my condo, so it was odd hearing that Shawn was so near to me.

I drove Mark to work at 9am, shaved & showered, and tried to sleep, but couldn't. Mollie broke two of her toes the other day, and then got food poisoning, so I helped out as best I could; I called her and she wished me luck on my visit, and asked if I had plans on Saturday. I was running late to Shawnathan's so I gave them a heads up; letting them know I'd be an hour late...and I was on my way.

On the drive there, I realized that I really dislike the summer months here. This wasn't true when I was younger, but now, I prefer cooler temperatures. Autumn is my favorite time of year actually... And in San Francisco I remember how the evenings were always cool, and the days were cooler than I had expected them to be. I'm actually looking forward to living there someday. ;-0) And I called Mollie back to tell her so.

I found Shawnathan's place with little to no trouble at all, which speaks volumes about Jonathan's skills at giving directions, because I have no fucking sense of direction, and yet he made it easy for me. I gave them a cd of mashups, which both amused & disgusted shawn - which was more than I expected, so that was cool; Jonthan seemed to like them a lot. We went to McDonald's, and the lake/park, and we went back to their place, and overall I had a blast just spending time with them. Jonathan is awesome, actually, and I really enjoyed talking to him, and getting to know him better. And it is always nice to be around Shawn; I'm just very lucky to know him.

Jonathan & Shawn are working on Saturday, but Jonathan seemed hyped about the idea of maybe calling in that day so he could hang out with Mollie, Mark & I, as we have all but confirmed that we are heading out to the Hillsdale area to visit the grave of Kevin Clark. Jonathan actually knows right where the cemetary is, which would be helpful, and I'd love to spend more time with him, and allow him the chance to get to know Mollie & Mark. Hopefully that will pan out. Of course if he decides to work that day we could still visit him, as he works at a gas station right at the edge of Jonesville. Perhaps we'll visit Shawn as well, as Mollie & Mark haven't seen him since the funeral. We'll see.

I left at around 11:30pm, and I was back in my room by 1am. Several GLBT movies had arrived for me, eariler in the day, and I checked them to make sure that they were working. One of the movies, "Skin Flick", which I had seen back in 2000, was not what I had expected. I had originally thought the movie was called Skin Gang, but I had recognized the cover online, and just assumed I had got the title wrong, which seldom happens with my wacky memory, but nobody is perfect, right? Well, it turns out that "Skin Flick", is the edited version of a pornographic permutation call the Skin Gang, so I was right about the title, and the cover of the movie, but it was odd seeing hardcore sex scenes edited down to R rated content. I decided that I'd just order the X rated one come morning, only when I did finally get up this morning I found out that the X rated Skin Gang flick isn't available on DVD; what the FUCK? So, I'm a bit cranky about that, because the sex in the movie was really hot, and that's what I thought I was getting. Perhaps one day it will be available.

I drove Mark to work today so I could go pay the condo fees. Then I came home, and set aside my amazon order (which is still tempting me), and I wrote this. I'm going to the grocery store in a little while; I might stop by Staples to see if Mollie is working, and/or go to VideoHut & rent some porn. ;-0)
