So Michael came over Monday night and we watched "The Train Job" episode of Firefly. It's really great watching it with him, because as I'm re-experiencing the series (which is a joy in itself) I'm seeing him react to it and falling in love with the characters. It's really cool. And I just read somewhere that some magazine has named it the best sci-fi show in history...which I think is probably true. I mean...it's really short, which sucks, but by the same measure, it's perfect, because they never had a chance to have a bad episode, and the movie is perfection so it has this complete feeling but also leaves you wanting more - which is sad and beautiful, and rare. :-0)

After the episode, I was kind of spacey, as I'd taken some painkiller for my neck, which had been bothering me all day. I know we talked for awhile. And eventually made it to my room, but I was so out of it...I just went to sleep. I think he said goodbye and stuff, but I don't really remember, and when I woke up he wasn't there anymore.

I watched the rest of "Evening" which I'd started watching at work Sunday night. I really enjoyed it. It's an interesting film, because it borders on masterpiece territory, but never quite arrives? I think some of the choices made in the production, while brave, maybe didn't come out as foreseen... Or maybe it was just me. I'm not certain. But there are many moments that are better than other moments, which you can see had the potential for real brilliance. It did make me feel though, which is always nice.

I slept. My neck doesn't hurt anymore. I got to talk to Mollie a little while last night too, but I'm not sure what time it was. I ate last night too. But I haven't eaten since, and I need to get groceries.

I called my sister Janice today, and we e-filed my federal tax forms, or started the process at least. She always helps me with my taxes. And she's not bitchy about it; she's always so giving about that kind of thing. I love her. I made less money than I did last year, and will owe the state again, though most likely less than last year.

I found out that Grandma is back at home. I gave her a call and we chatted for awhile. I told Grandma about how Mark & Michael & I are doing. About chatting with Janice and doing my taxes. She's so beautiful and caring and brave.

Anyways...I need to get dressed and go to the bank, the video store, Whole Foods, and Kroger. Maybe the book store too. Maybe they'll have a new Who article or something. New pictures for my walls, which I've taken a break from for about a week.

I still haven't read any of that Trek book. lol. It's kind of becoming a joke. I'm gonna work on my room a bit tonight...or at least plan it out a bit. And hopefully I'll get some reading done too. lol Wish me luck.
