I woke up around 12pm yesterday & decided to get up, even though I could have stayed in bed, so that I'd get up faster today. Mark & I went to Best Buy on his lunch, and then I took the car and visited Mollie at her job (& I really would have taken Jennifer out to lunch if her lunch had been approaching). After Mollie/Jennifer hugs, I again rented porn, which I hadn't planned on, but I was on that side of town, and no less horny than usual.

When I got home I finished off a Xena episode, and enjoyed my rentals. When I put in the next Xena disc it wouldn't work, and Mark concluded that my dvd-rom was dead, but we later tried to play the disc in the X-Box, and the computer downstairs, and it wouldn't play in those either. The disc doesn't look dirty & there aren't any scratches that I can see. I didn't keep the packing slip, as I checked all the discs for scratches & such when they arrived. The disc is integral to the season, containing "Maternal Instincts" & "The Bitter Suite" (the musical) - two episodes that tie into almost everything great about the season (plus there are crossover episodes of Hercules that take place in between the two episodes that I rented so I could watch them all in order!). I contacted the seller, and hopefully they will replace the disc or trade me a new set :-0( I was really bummed.

There was at least some goodness in the day; I also stopped by Hollywood earlier and got 3 of my 6 dvds that I had won in a contest at work. I got: "The Business of Fancy Dancing", "The Graffiti Artist", & "Callas Forever". Next time I expect to get "Brother To Brother", "Straight-Jacket" & "Tarnation". ;-0) Another good thing happened later on when I picked up Mark and he had a box of new clothes for his site, with some that I had ordered, so I ended up with some cool clothes; a new casual type outfit that I really like, plus a new trench coat. nice. I also later read online that the final animated Batman set comes out December 6, the same day they release Superman, Volume 2! It was previously rumored that they would be released in December, but it's nice to have the dates confirmed, and to see cover art. Hopefully, with Batman finished off, and the final Superman set rumored to be released in June 2006, they will move onto boxed sets of other DCAU shows like Batman Beyond & Justice League.

Mark talked about working on my computer; getting me a dvd burner, and more than doubling my hard drive space!?! Sounds cool! But now that we know the dvd player still works that might not be as big a priority.

Mark & I watched the 1st 2 episodes of Dawson's Creek. I watched the entire first season when it originally aired (after Buffy), and then only caught an episode here or there after that (like the one featuring the first romantic gay male primetime television kiss), but I later rented the 2nd Season of the show, and enjoyed it alot. Then I bought the 3rd Season, which I didn't lover nearly as much, but continued on with seasons 4 & 5, which I liked far more than 3. Now I'm waiting for the final season, and I thought it would be neat to get Mark in on the act, since he used to hate it, and I think he would like it if he watched the later episodes.

After Dawsons's I watched some random stuff, and I went to bed around 1am, only to wake up at about 5:30am, because of being too warm, I imagine. I opened my vent all the way, and turned the air down a bit, and snacked on an icecream bar (which oddly, don't upset my stomack), and I wrote this. I work today & tomorrow, and then Saturday I'm going to a party for my Great Aunt & Uncle (mostly to see Janice & the kids, and possible Kristen), & I might visit other folks that day as well. Now I'm gonna go brush my teeth and try to sleep some more.
