Work was actually enjoyable Sunday night. It wasn't too busy or too slow, and I got to close with Matt, which is always a good time - though we were both kind of out of it, and didn't talk that much. My back was still bothering me, but not overly much. I called Carrie and chatted with her for an hour or so, which was nice. I worked on my webpage a bit, and then for some reason I had the urge to watch the final episode of Buffy, so I popped to the last disc in, but watched all 3 episodes on that disc instead of just the final one. I still love Buffy. I'm not as fervent about it as I have been in the past, and because my memory is so accurate, I find I enjoy watching it less than I did years ago (the jokes & the shocks just aren't as funning or shocking when you know their coming), but it still holds a very special place in my heart.

I slept until 2:20pm. Xena: Season 3 had arrived, and I watched the first two episodes while I ate, and continued to rest. I didn't even try to will myself into something more active. I didn't want to mess my back up any more than it is, and I've felt just the slightest bit stressed the last few days, though I can pinpoint the reason why. After Mark got home, we went to the storage unit, the post office, and finally to Media Play, as I found a $5.00 gift certificate that was about to expire, and I had decided that I wanted to buy The Prince of Tides on DVD. I've seen it there at the store a dozen times, but always passed it up. As it happened, they didn't have it this time, and so I wandered the store, and ended up spending far more money than I would ever have guessed, while saving far more money than I could have expected. I bought Seasons 2, 3 & 5 of Hercules, and Season 1 of Xena - which means of the Herc/Xena universe on DVD all I lack now are the Young Hercules movie, Hercules & Xena: The Battle For Mount Olympus, and Hercules: Season 4. The reason I bought all of that, is because they were used, and I got them for about half the price of the used ones on Amazon, plus they had a deal where if you bought 2 used items you got 50% off a third, which means I got a season of Herc that costs $62.98 brand new on Amazon for $14.99 at Media Play. It's usually the other way around, which is why I never expected to spend so much at the store. I'm happy that I have them now, but I wish I had more money - but who doesn't?

We went to Kroger for Butter, and then we forgot to buy it as we got other items. Mark was a sweetheart and went back & got the butter while I put my new dvds on my shelf. I later ate, and watched 2 more episodes of Xena before falling asleep. I woke up at about 1:30am. I had a snack and woke Mark up, who had fallen asleep on the couch, and he went to bed, and I watched 2 more episodes of Xena. I'd been looking forward to watching this two-parter for weeks now, if not longer. They were the first episodes of Xena that I ever saw that made me want to see more of the series; they made me a fan - they are called "The Debt, Parts I & II". I told Bryan about them a few days ago, and told him I wanted to share them with him; I hope he likes them as well.

I sorted my e-mail, which was piling up. I sorted some Slash Art; I've been implimenting a new filing system which will take me a year maybe to really get everything filed away, but it's fun in it's way.

Fuck. I was supposed to call my dad today, and I forgot. I'll have to call him tomorrow. er, I guess tomorrow is today. I was supposed to call him on Monday, and now I'll have to call him on Tuesday, which is fine I guess, as today is his birthday, which he shares with my older sister, Janice. I was supposed to be born on the 23rd, but I was born early. Janice & I are planning on visiting our father on the 30th; a week from today; 1 month before Serenity opens :-0)

I have had little desire to see any movies theatrically this year. Episode III. I want to see Serenity & I want to see Harry Potter IV. If there are other upcoming movies I want to see, I can't think of them at the moment.

And actually - at the moment. I feel like doing something else.
