So Paul called me last night (from San Francisco) to ask me about seeing Serenity as he thinks he'll be in town around then - which would be cool ;-0) Plus tons of other people I know are going. Mark, Mollie, Kenny, Adam, Carrie, a different Paul & his friends, Bryan, Ben, Robert, Diana, Chris & her coworkers - and I think I might be forgetting some people. Even if the movie sucks (which I can't really imagine) I want it to make a lot of money; Joss deserves it, and I deserve sequels damn it!

Mark picked up Mollie after work but had to go to the store a couple of times and stuff while I cleaned the condo. My sty was really getting annoying and uncomfortable; hot compresses were used. Bryan & his son Robert showed up around 9:20pm and we played TROUBLE & Rich Man, Poor Man - and Euchre. I kept Bryan from smoking, and I had Mark buy his some suckers to help him & Robert quit. It was fun. After Bryan & Robert left we played Scrabble, which I've never really loved, but I managed to have fun - and I would have won except I have apparently been playing the wrong way all these years. Weird.

Mark drove Mollie home, with me in the car to keep him awake, because I didn't think it was a good idea for me to drive with the sty bugging me. I think I was doing a pretty good job of not ripping my eyeball out, because that's all I wanted to do! I whined about it a little bit every once in awhile, but it was constantly annoying me, so I think I handled it pretty well. After we dropped off Mollie, we dropped off the porn I rented (we're all about saving gas money these days).

We decided that we would get up at 7 or so, so we could call and make an appointment for my eye today at 8 when the place opened. We did that, but then when I looked at my inner eyelid the sty seemed to have improved dramatically - it still stings a bit, but I think that's because it popped. My outer lid is a bit swollen, but I think it's getting better, so we left a message saying that we wanted to cancel the appointment, and then tried to call them to let them know but we were on hold for like 20 minutes, and we were the 6th callers in the "line"; we gave up momentarily, and I called back shortly and got through almost right away, so that's taken care of. I really hope my eye is ok. If it's better tomorrow then I'll cancel my appointment for Monday, and if it's still really sore maybe I'll go in as a followup kind of thing.

I let Mollie borrow Hedwig & the Angry Inch and The Feast of All Saints; she's seen Hedwig, but not Feast, which was a miniseries made for cable based on the Anne Rice novel, which I think Mollie might enjoy. I gave Bryan his tape of JLU/Batman Beyond, Xena, DS9, Drawn Together & more JLU, and I let him borrow Angels In America which he had mentioned wanting to borrow a while ago. I hope they both enjoy their movies - er...my movies. lol

Mollies been having all kinds of troubles (I want to say lately, but it's just been one thing after another for such a long time now!) which sucks! Hopefully things will improve for her. Bryan & Robert are trying to quit smoking which is hopefully going to work out; Bryan has been smoking for 20 years!?!

Oh, and if my eye is better tomorrow I can work, which I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do, because, well - it was getting bad.
