Bald Jason's Musings

So I haven't written in just over a week. I would have but we lost our digital cable for several days, and when we got it back on Sunday I just wasn't in the mood to write. I guess I am now. I know a lot of stuff has happened since I wrote last, but I'm not sure any of it is worth writing about exactly.
I found a couple new mashups I like yesterday, which hadn't happened in ages. I've been listening to a lot of Coldplay, because I love their new CD and it reminded me how much I loved their older stuff. Mark commented that he had never heard them before, but I know that's not true because I used Coldplay for a track I recorded about Shawn a couple years ago - and Mark listened to that. Plus I've played them a lot, and they've had songs on ALIAS & Buffy.
Justice League is easily my favorite television series at this point. It's just so consistantly kicking ass; the season finale, which was written as a series finale before they knew they were renewed for 13 more episodes was so beyond kick ass, that I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. The episode in question served as a finale for both Batman Beyond & the Cadmus storyarc on JLU! Along the way there were revelations, and glimpses of characters we hadn't seen in ages, such as Andrea Beaumont (the Phantasm), Inque, Stalker, Shreik, Ace (the girl from Wild Cards, not Batman's dog), & Dana Tan. There were also references to Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing & Selena Kyle (Catwoman). There were also flashbacks concerning Terry's Mom & Dad that were...astounding! Unfortunately the broadcaster fucked up and aired some other show for the first 10 minutes or so and so I still haven't seen the Intro & opening credits of the episode! I'll get it when it airs about a month from now in the U.S. ;-)
I got some new clothes yesterday, which is nice. I've curbed my movie spending in a big way; I'm limited to $30 for dvds a week. Mollie came over Friday night & we played all sorts of games with Mark which was actually a blast. I've gotten into all kinds of card & board games; does that make me old? lol I really don't care. I hadn't gotten any sleep on Friday & I didn't expect Mollie's visit to go on so long, but I was having so much fun that I didn't care; I love her so much. We're going Bowling tonight with some of my coworkers, and Carrie will probably come too, which should be a blast!
When we were playing our final game of Rich Man, Poor Man (a fantastic card game that Mollie shared with us a while back), Matt from Bowling Green gave me a call to let me know that he & some friends were in a bar in Toledo and that they would be coming to Ann Arbor shortly; it was after 1am. I assumed they were coming to my house, and I got kind of excited about that, even though I hadn't slept; I hadn't seen Matt in a while, and his friends are usually a lot of fun. Mark drove Mollie home (with an armfull of dvds for her to enjoy) while I cleaned up my room a little... Only to have them call at 2am, after Mark returned to tell me they were just leaving.
To make a long story less long, they didn't come to my house, but went to the Fleetwood only to find the place packed, by the time I got a message that they were in Ann Arbor & at the Fleetwood (I was in the shower when they called), they had already moved on to the Starbucks across town near the Arborland Mall. I arrived there in record time, and...I tried not to be bored. This most likely had more to do with me not having slept than anything to do with Matt & his friends. Usually they are tons of fun, but they all seemed quite annoying that night; I knew it was probably just me though, so I held it together rather well, I think. We ended up at the fleetwood, and I kept throwing a hardon because I was with Matt and for the first time in a long time I was...interested. This could also have to do with my lack of sleep, and my complete lack of sexual activity in the last 6 months (not including sex with myself). But that part of the night was nice.
The sun was up by the time I got home. We later watched the already discussed JLU episode, and then visited Bryan & Chris at their new digs - a place I had sex a little over 10 years ago. lol Weird. I was still super tired though, even though I had slept some since the morning. We went home, and I just relaxed...
I worked Sunday night & Tuesday afternoon; the air conditioning at work is broken. On Sunday it was intolerable; I went home on my break, took a shower & returned to work in shorts. Tuesday wasn't as bad, but it still sucked a lot. I'm actually looking forward to bowling tonight... Looking forward to seeing everyone at the very least.
To all those that e-mailed me to find out if I was ok; thanks. It was just a technical thing, and it was as annoying for me, at least as much as it was for you.
