I'm doing laundry (still). Mark is watching a movie, "Doomsday". I read the new issues of Buffy & Angel today. Buffy is almost always fantastic, while Angel is often so...odd as to be rendered incomprehensible; the art is weird; I have a hard time telling who's who at times, and the dialogue often doesn't sound like the characters. Buffy was less than satisfying though, as it's Part III of IV and didn't provide any of the answers I was looking for. If I had any self control I'd wait for the graphic novels every few months just so I could read the series without the gaps. Oh Well.

So for those of you who don't remember (or missed) the Preston drama, you can now CLICK HERE to read about this mid-July - early-August blip on the map of my life. Everyone caught up? Good.

So I saw that Preston was online on AIM & Yahoo, so I left him a hello, and said that I hoped he was well. That's it. A polite hello and a well wishing. And what did I get for that? Well no response there, but he later called 5 times, and didn't leave a message. This worried me, as I thought maybe he was in trouble or something, so I gave him a call back, he answered, said "Hey" and then hung up on me. Then a few minutes later he called back and hung up before my phone had even completed ringing. I picture him doing this in front of his friends, laughing, like what he's done is so cool, when all he did was slightly amuse a guy who actually cared about him. He's obviously still completely insane. I thought maybe it was just a phase that was heightened by his then heavy drug use. Oh well. No one can say I didn't try. People are scary.

I read some more of my Titan book, which continues to entertain. I think it's the best of the 3 I've read so far. They've actually gotten better with each volume, which is great. I've decided I'm skipping the political Trek book all together at the moment. I know a lot of folks really love it, but politics in general bore me to tears, or disgust me, and I'm pretty sure I'm getting enough background on the political figures in the books I've been reading. I can always read it later, with the "A Time To..." series, which I also skipped. I've now heard that the trilogy I've been preparing for will have elements of the New Frontier series, which I love, but haven't finished. Once I'm done with the books I planned to read first (4 more to go) I might read some New Frontier if I have the time. ;-0)
