Corey did chat me up on yahoo, and he's ok; he's just going through a bit of trouble with his roomie/ex & the boy's new bf. I understood a lot of what he was feeling because I've been through that before. We talked for a bit, and I think I made him feel a little bit better. He's been playing lot of World of Warcraft lately. I'm kind of glad that I don't have a video game right now to take up my time, as I'm still getting a lot of reading done and it's fun.

I didn't sleep Wednesday morning. I drove Mark to work. I read the rest of the Classic Trek section of that Mirror Universe book. I really enjoyed the 2nd half of that story; it had a lot of twists that I didn't expect. I guess the whole story was a twist on what we've been told happened on the show, which din't mess anything up. Except, and this might be cleared up in one of the other 4 or 5 stories to come, but they have all these cloaking devices in the book, and they don't have cloaking devices in the final DS9 Mirror episode. There were ships seen with the cloaking effect in "Though The Looking Glass" I think, but that could have been something other than what it appeared to be, while this would seem to contradict an actual episode. Hopefully that's cleared up later though, as the story was really good.

I thought I might go ahead and read the next Mirror story, or maybe read Harry Potter 4, but now I'm thinking of reading a random Star Wars book. That might change though.

Anyways, after finishing the Trek, I got ready and left an hour early for work. I got a pizza on the way, but they totally fucked up my order. I called them back, and they agreed to trade me for another pizza on my lunch, which was hours away. It really sucked because I hadn't eaten anything before work, knowing that I was going to eat there before my shift. But the pizza I did get on my break, which was made by people who know me, was great.

Work was fun. I worked with DJ, Michael, Alex & Nate. I let Nate borrow "Hedwig & The Angry Inch" & "Shortbus"; I can't wait to hear his reactions.

After work, I picked up Mark. Mark's having some trouble with his family. His family is actually...really horrible sometimes. I don't think they intend to be horrible; they're just too stupid to realize what they're doing to each other. That sounded really harsh, but some of their reasoning has been pretty harsh lately. I even stepped in and let them know how they could fix some of it; I begged them too; I cried. And they still managed to fuck it up. A few years ago, Mark's dad asked him what he wanted for his birthday, or x-mas or something, and Mark told him that he wanted them all to see a therapist, and his dad said ok...and then they never went. I really, really wish they had. This shit has to be stressful for Mark, and it's probably eating at a lot of them in unseen ways. I just wish it would stop for awhile, or get moving at least. It's just kind of festering, and I'm afraid someday it will explode; leaving no survivors.

I talked to my sister Janice on the phone, while Mark drove us to some stores, and then home. I guess our grandmother (who rocks by the way) has the flu. She was ill not that long ago, and she's very seldom ill. I know that she's only got so much time left, because even the healthiest of us has to die someday, and she's getting older, just as we all are... I just don't want to lose her.

I was so exhausted, and there wasn't any real bitserve work, so I went to sleep shortly after arriving home. I did spend about a half hour checking out the stuff that arrived in the mail for me. A new TLA GLBT DVD print catalog, 2 used New Frontier books ("The Quiet Place" & "Renaissance"), the new Mirror Universe volume ("Obsidian Alliances"), JLU: Season 2, and Batman Beyond: Season 3. I watched the bonus features on the DVD's as I'll be lending those to Bryan next time I see him, along with the Uncut version of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker. When I get all the Animated DCAU discs back from Bryan they are being passed on to Scott.

I slept for about 2 hours before Mark accidentally woke me up. I got up, got a drink, and took my prilosec, before going back to bed. I slept for a little over 5 hours more. I kept waking up, but went back to sleep each time. I got up after a while and put my new stuff away, before writing this.

I work at bitserve today. I should probably get dressed and go get some groceries before Mark goes to work. I'd also like to start reading something before the end of the day.

The L Word: Season 4 ends in 3 days; they've already been picked up for a season 5! 9 days until Doctor Who: Series 3 begins! Oh, and in other random news, I happend on this site that supposedly lists haunted places in Michigan, and one of them is Mercywood Hospital. 15 years today I was an in-patient there. Weird. Wonder what the story is on that.
