Paul got to the theater early yesterday, and Mollie got out of work ontime, so we didn't have to rush or fight the crowds at the theater. I don't think the theater was sold out, which sucks because Jennifer could have come with us, but it might be nice to see it with her & Mark later this week. I don't really love going to the theater, because I don't like dealing with all the other people there; I hate people that talk loudly during the movie, people who make a lot of noise or make it impossilbe to see the screen; I don't like people who bring their children and then shout at them to be quiet, when they should just not have brought them... I hate it when cell phones ring, or people check their cell phones for the time, because the lights distract me from what I'm actually there for: the movie. That said, the audience we were with, were mostly well behaved; one cell phone rang, and a few people checked the time, but the kids that were there were quiet, and that's probably the best I could hope for.

About the movie (SPOILERS HERE)

I was mostly bored for the first 40 minutes or so. The space battles blah blah blah, were just...fancy window dressing, I guess; though R2 was amusing. Once the movie really got going though it pretty much kicked ass. It was nice to see the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca, Luke & Leia, Owen & Beru, and all the other things that tied the saga together. After that first 40 minutes or so, the only things that bothered me were... well, that lizard thing that Obi-Wan rides around just seemed silly, and everytime it was onscreen I had trouble taking the movie seriously. The other thing... I wish they had showed Qui-Gon Jin; I had heard rumors long ago that he might put in an appearance, and when he was mentioned as being back near the end of the film, I just assumed we would see him, maybe with Obi-Wan on Tattooine, but he never arrived. The guess they just through in that reference to explain why we are able to see Obi-Wan after he dies, and later see Yoda & Anakin. Something I loved, was the insinuation by Palpatine, that he was Anakin's creator; it was very subtle, but it helped ease the annoyance of Anakin's immaculate conception.

Episode III really did do an amazing job of setting up Episode IV. I thought Episode II did this fairly well to some degree as well, which is why I maybe enjoyed it so much more than Episode I, which didn't really seem connected to the Classic Trilogy. Enough about this though. I'l probably see it once more in theaters (I saw episodes I & II twice), and I look forward to the DVD (along with Clone Wars Season 2, and the two upcoming Star Wars television projects).

After the movie, Paul & Mollie were exhausted so we went our seperate ways; I was feeling pretty tired as well. I stopped by work to get my schedule and then went home. I'd told Mark that it was possible that Jennifer & Tracy, Paul & Mollie might come over after the movie, so he might want to be ready. When everyone had ruled that option out, Mark was a bit bummed, and while I really wanted to go to bed, I knew that Mark wanted some company, so I went with him to MediaPlay & Meijer; I bougth Xena Season 6 at MediaPlay as it was on sale, and I had $10's in gift certificates.

When we got home, Mark went to get food, and I downloaded the new JLU, which I watched with Mark while he ate. It kicked ass, and proved to be part 1 of the final 5 episodes of the season, which was written to be the final season of the series, except that the show has been getting such amazing ratings, that more episodes were ordered by Cartoon Network. So this season ending story (that has been buliding over the last two seasons, and has since been tied into random episodes across the course of several series) is epic in the extreme. I hope it turns out as well as the rest of the season.

After JLU we watched the 3rd episode of the 4th Season of Queer as Folk; I think this is my favorite season so far, which I guess really isn't saying much, because I've never loved it. I thought the 1st Season was pretty good, but the 2nd was mostly horrible; the 3rd Season was an improvement, and the 4th is proving to be even better. I'm sure most people disagree with me, and that's fine; I don't really see myself as the target audience.

After QAF I read. I wrote some stuff. I played a game. I watched 3 episodes of Xena, and the crew interviews; I jacked off, showered, and went to bed. I slept fairly well, and I've just been relaxing today, which is nice. I work tonight from 7pm-close, and the increased hours of last week have vanished; I don't work again until Friday. That's fine too though. I'm gonna get some food.

Mollie, Mark, Paul, & I aren't meeting up with Bryan, and we all seem to be ok with that, though Mollie sounded a bit upset; I probably won't get to see her before she leaves on her trip, and I get the feeling that Staples screwed her over again. They need to just face facts and promote her; don't they know she's a goddess?

I'm thinking of going to Necto, but I'm not sure if I really want to go.

Mark layed down with me for a little while and it felt nice to have a body next to me in bed. Too bad we aren't couple material.

I've been telling a lot of people things that I've wanted to tell them for a long time, and just haven't had the opportunity, or energy to so in the past. I may continue this... it feels good.

I ended up not going to Necto; I shaved & everything, but I just didn't WANT to go, I guess. I found a cash of Clark/Lex pix online; I don't watch Smallville, but these pictures make the show look pretty fucking hot! Too bad it's not really slashy. :-0(

I'm going to put more of my pix in order. I should maybe go to the grocery store, and I might do that before dawn; who knows?

Janella & Solomon came to Hollywood Sunday night, but I was doing the work thing, and couldn't talk to them much, which sucked. I hope all is well with them.

I worked on my webpage most of Tuesday night, and much of Wednesday; I had trouble sleeping. Batman Boxed Set 3, & Dawson's Creek Season 4 arrived at my door, and I watched some of Batman before finally getting a couple hours sleep. I was eating when Jennifer called to invite me to meet her, Tracy, Andy & her sis at the Tap Room. I got ready, and was nearly there when I started feeling sick to my stomach; I stopped a few times on my way home, and I feel a lot better now. It sucks that I didn't get to see my friends though, and I'm really disappointed about that.

After ALIAS was over, Mark & I watched it together (he was taping it for me, since I wasn't here when it was starting); it had a better cliffhanger than last year, and a lot of cool things happened in it. I just have no idea what the ending means! Ugh! :-0)

I wish Jennifer & company were in A2; I'd go meet them now; I feel fine. And I look really good! lol My body is just completely wacky. I wish I was normal, in that regard. blah. It's really nice outside; maybe I'll go out for awhile.

I had trouble sleeping Thursday night. I got about 2 hours sleep before going to work on Friday at 1pm. I stayed up the last few hours before work to do my laundry, as I didn't have any clean work clothes, only to learn when I got there, that we're having this special weekend in which we don't have to wear our work clothes! I rolled with the punches though, and managed to have a mostly fun day at work. The mistress of condecension was there for a couple hours but I ignored her as much as possible so that I could keep my job. ;-0)

While I was at work, someone told me to have a happy holiday. I had no clue that it was Memorial Day Weekend; or that 11 years ago that day, I had shaved my head for the very first time. lol Crazy huh. I'm actually looking for alternatives to shaving my head lately. I'm tired of doing it - I should be completely bald by now damn it! If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

Carrie dropped by work to give me a friendly ride home, so I could sleep as soon as possible, and she could pick up the final 9 episodes of Alias's 4th Season. She's watching the final 3 right now; I hope she likes them. I slept until around 11pm. I watched a documentary called "Out of the Past" which was another great GLBT doco that I'll have to share with people.

I felt like going out, but I didn't feel like shaving or showering or putting on eyeliner or wearing black. lol I work black tennis shoes, white socks, blue jean shorts, and I striped shirt. A few people at the bar didn't even recognize me. The ones that did, were shocked; some of them speechless; it made me smile. They said I looked like a little school boy, which was maybe true as a boy hit on me, who was actually 30 - and when I told him I was almost 31 he freaked out and said I was too old for him. lol Men are strange.

I ran into this boy Mark, that I've seen a few times over the last 3 years or so; we have amazing chemistry. He says he's never attracted to white guys, but there's this fire between us. Of course he has a boyfriend, which doesn't make me less attacted; it just makes me not respond to his advances. He gave me his phone # again (this time I wrote it down, so that I would be able to read it later), and maybe we'll hang out sometime when he's sober and we'll be good friends.

I watched a ton of Dawson's Creek last night, and fell asleep around 9:30am. I slept well, and got about 8 hours of sleep. I dreamt about a girl that I used to know named Jennifer Rock; I think she's married now, and in the dream she & her husband and I met at some random meeting, and I was talking to her, and it was nice. There was a message on my phone from Jennifer (not the one from my dream) who wanted to make more plans; I called her back and left her a message.

I chatted with a boy the other night named Chad, who lives in Wood Haven (woodhaven?) and very nearly had cyber sex with him... it was actually very hot. Perhaps we will be friends as well. lol

Before I watched Dawson's Creek (which made me cry a lot - lol) I lit a candle in my room for Mollie & her mother. I know that it's silly, but it made me feel better.
