Well, the power is on, and I'm grateful. We had a lovely storm last night, that produced the strangest light, and multiple rainbows. The air in the store was so muggy & damp. On the drive to work I noticed that several traffic lights were out, and that the lights in Bryan's apartent building were out. He later called me at work to see when I was getting off; he hoped that I wasn't closing and that I could join him & Robert at Pizza House, as they had indeed lost power. Perhaps theirs has returned. He stopped by work to, and I got a good hug.

I also spoke with a customer last night who has been renting for some time; he's gay, and we've never really spoken before except in passing. He's 33 years old, and has only been dating men for the last few months. Men who come out of the closet later in life have always made me sad. Not for their new found lives, but for the seemingly dead years that have passed away. I could never have survived as long as I have without coming out at a young age; I felt stifled keeping it to myself as long as I did... Lies close one up in a an ever tightening cage, and I suppose I'm a bit too claustrophobic for such scenarios.

I watched "Seed of Chucky" last night; I thought it was amusing, and a good followup to "Bride of Chucky". I als watched the Ken Russel film "Women In Love" which, like every Ken Russel film I've ever seen, was rather odd. I liked a lot of it, and was confused by much of it, but when it ended suddenly, with a glance, with a stilled frame that forced me to examine it's content; I loved that moment, more than the actual film. I also watched "Second Skin", which featured the most oddly beautiful woman, who kept my attention just as much as her character's husband's love affair with Javier Bardem! So, all in all, my rentals were wisely chosen, or at least I was very lucky. "Women In Love" & "Second Skin", could make nice additions to my GLBT inclusive shelves, but I'm trying to cut back on my spending; with the movies that I have already ordered combined with the ones I already have filling the shelf in question, I have 300 titles. And yet I want more. lol I try to avoid collecting things, because I've never been able to just stop; I have to have a complete collection.

Solomon & Janella stopped by briefly after the store was closed, and I went out to see them; the night air felt so wonderful after being in that storm ridden steam bath. They had dropped some movies in the drop box, and seemed to be glowing with a fantastic energy, which made me smile for them, and look fondly on them, and smile at my good fortune at having found them.

I slept for a little while last night, as has been my habit this last week; sleeping a little at night, and then again in the day; it's not bad at all really. I'll have to call Janice later & find out what day we will visit our Grandmother. And I need to call Matt, as he hasn't yet confirmed that he could work for me on Wednesday while I'm visiting Shawn & Jonathan. And I still need to call Mollie back, which I will also do today.

I'm really glad I watched those moives, in that order; they've put me in a very perculiar mood, and I'm rather enjoying it. And on a side note, I graduated from High School 9 years ago today.
