I started boxing up my Star Wars books. I compiled a list on my webpage of the books that I have so that I as I collect them I can have a record of all the Star Wars Books I own. I also made a page of the books I don't yet have. I still have a ton of stuff to do, but for now I'm gonna get as far away from my computer as possible.

Star Wars Books That I Have

Star Wars Books That I Don't Have

I'm nearly finished with my room. It's not as beautiful as I would like, but I got lots of stuff done, and I managed to make both of my older shelves fit in new places. I had to clean as I went downstairs because Mark didn't want me to make a mess, which took me a couple of hours (that I could have used sleeping) and the only mess downstairs is a stack of cds without a home - and the shelves downstairs have actually been improved, so you win some, you lose some.

My room is almost ready for the new shelves. I'll have to make some new arrangements in my closet, but I got all my olde books packed away. I need to shave & shower, and I really need some sleep. I think I may have hurt my back with all the heavy lifting, but Mark was asleep so he couldn't help me, and when he's awake I'll (hopefully) be asleep), and my closet is so cramped that he probably couldn't have helped me that much anyways.

Um, yeah, I can definitely feel my back; this is not going to be good.

I've decided what movies I want from Hollywood. They are all GLBT movies, but they are titles that Hollywood has more than one copy of, so my winning won't deprive any customers/guests from seeing the movies I'm getting. The 6 I've chosen are:

01 Brother To Brother
02 Conspiracy of Silence
03 Fighting Tommy Riley
04 The Grafitti Artist
05 Straight-Jacket
06 Tarnation

I don't know how I'm supposed to get these exactly, so I'm leaving a note for DJ when I go into work tonight.

I'm tired, and kind of skanky, and I have a bit more to do before I can get ready for bed, so I'm gonna get going.

I had to get out of bed early because my shelves were on their way here. I did hurt my back last night, but not as badly as I could have, which is sort of good. The shelves look pretty good, and even with all my movies on them I can probably fit at least 250 more + I still have my old shelves in my room to fill ;-0) I like that. And I'm really glad I thought to ask Mark for them as a birthday gift, and grateful that he pulled it off so well.

I had a snack after putting all the movies on the shelf, and I just got out of the shower. I really want to go back to bed, but I need to get dressed and go to work. DJ told me that I have a lot of hours this week, but the schedule wasn't up on Friday so I have no clue what days I work - I don't even know for sure that I work today, except that I've been scheduled to close on Sundays for the last 6 months, so I figure it's a safe bet that I'm supposed to be there at 7pm.

I hope work goes smoothly; that it isn't too busy, or too boring, and that I don't have any bitchy customers. erg.

Oh, and I am really enjoying that marriage book!!! It's awesome.

Well, got to go.

Work was actually enjoyable Sunday night. It wasn't too busy or too slow, and I got to close with Matt, which is always a good time - though we were both kind of out of it, and didn't talk that much. My back was still bothering me, but not overly much. I called Carrie and chatted with her for an hour or so, which was nice. I worked on my webpage a bit, and then for some reason I had the urge to watch the final episode of Buffy, so I popped to the last disc in, but watched all 3 episodes on that disc instead of just the final one. I still love Buffy. I'm not as fervent about it as I have been in the past, and because my memory is so accurate, I find I enjoy watching it less than I did years ago (the jokes & the shocks just aren't as funning or shocking when you know their coming), but it still holds a very special place in my heart.

I slept until 2:20pm. Xena: Season 3 had arrived, and I watched the first two episodes while I ate, and continued to rest. I didn't even try to will myself into something more active. I didn't want to mess my back up any more than it is, and I've felt just the slightest bit stressed the last few days, though I can pinpoint the reason why. After Mark got home, we went to the storage unit, the post office, and finally to Media Play, as I found a $5.00 gift certificate that was about to expire, and I had decided that I wanted to buy The Prince of Tides on DVD. I've seen it there at the store a dozen times, but always passed it up. As it happened, they didn't have it this time, and so I wandered the store, and ended up spending far more money than I would ever have guessed, while saving far more money than I could have expected. I bought Seasons 2, 3 & 5 of Hercules, and Season 1 of Xena - which means of the Herc/Xena universe on DVD all I lack now are the Young Hercules movie, Hercules & Xena: The Battle For Mount Olympus, and Hercules: Season 4. The reason I bought all of that, is because they were used, and I got them for about half the price of the used ones on Amazon, plus they had a deal where if you bought 2 used items you got 50% off a third, which means I got a season of Herc that costs $62.98 brand new on Amazon for $14.99 at Media Play. It's usually the other way around, which is why I never expected to spend so much at the store. I'm happy that I have them now, but I wish I had more money - but who doesn't?

We went to Kroger for Butter, and then we forgot to buy it as we got other items. Mark was a sweetheart and went back & got the butter while I put my new dvds on my shelf. I later ate, and watched 2 more episodes of Xena before falling asleep. I woke up at about 1:30am. I had a snack and woke Mark up, who had fallen asleep on the couch, and he went to bed, and I watched 2 more episodes of Xena. I'd been looking forward to watching this two-parter for weeks now, if not longer. They were the first episodes of Xena that I ever saw that made me want to see more of the series; they made me a fan - they are called "The Debt, Parts I & II". I told Bryan about them a few days ago, and told him I wanted to share them with him; I hope he likes them as well.

I sorted my e-mail, which was piling up. I sorted some Slash Art; I've been implimenting a new filing system which will take me a year maybe to really get everything filed away, but it's fun in it's way.

Fuck. I was supposed to call my dad today, and I forgot. I'll have to call him tomorrow. er, I guess tomorrow is today. I was supposed to call him on Monday, and now I'll have to call him on Tuesday, which is fine I guess, as today is his birthday, which he shares with my older sister, Janice. I was supposed to be born on the 23rd, but I was born early. Janice & I are planning on visiting our father on the 30th; a week from today; 1 month before Serenity opens :-0)

I have had little desire to see any movies theatrically this year. Episode III. I want to see Serenity & I want to see Harry Potter IV. If there are other upcoming movies I want to see, I can't think of them at the moment.

And actually - at the moment. I feel like doing something else.

I chatted on gay.com for the first time in months. I mostly chatted with old friends, which was nice. Ooh - and I saw the Internationl Harry Potter 4 Teaser Trailer! Neat.

I need to get some sleep. I have to work today.

Another quiet workday, that flew by. I took my change to the bank and it came out to be just over $80.00. That made me feel better about last night's Media Play event. After work I watched some Hercules episodes that I rented from the season that I don't own, which ran alongside Xena: Season 3. I slept briefly, finshed the ep I fell asleep during, got dressed. I chatted on line for a half hour or so with my friend Scott, and then I got complimented by a very hot guy named Mike. I went to Aut Bar for awhile, though it was dead. It's chilly outside, and there are leaves on the ground. This summer, seems to be the summer where I didn't really do anything. Maybe because I haven't been dating. At least the birthday bash thing was memorable. ;-0)

I woke up around 12pm yesterday & decided to get up, even though I could have stayed in bed, so that I'd get up faster today. Mark & I went to Best Buy on his lunch, and then I took the car and visited Mollie at her job (& I really would have taken Jennifer out to lunch if her lunch had been approaching). After Mollie/Jennifer hugs, I again rented porn, which I hadn't planned on, but I was on that side of town, and no less horny than usual.

When I got home I finished off a Xena episode, and enjoyed my rentals. When I put in the next Xena disc it wouldn't work, and Mark concluded that my dvd-rom was dead, but we later tried to play the disc in the X-Box, and the computer downstairs, and it wouldn't play in those either. The disc doesn't look dirty & there aren't any scratches that I can see. I didn't keep the packing slip, as I checked all the discs for scratches & such when they arrived. The disc is integral to the season, containing "Maternal Instincts" & "The Bitter Suite" (the musical) - two episodes that tie into almost everything great about the season (plus there are crossover episodes of Hercules that take place in between the two episodes that I rented so I could watch them all in order!). I contacted the seller, and hopefully they will replace the disc or trade me a new set :-0( I was really bummed.

There was at least some goodness in the day; I also stopped by Hollywood earlier and got 3 of my 6 dvds that I had won in a contest at work. I got: "The Business of Fancy Dancing", "The Graffiti Artist", & "Callas Forever". Next time I expect to get "Brother To Brother", "Straight-Jacket" & "Tarnation". ;-0) Another good thing happened later on when I picked up Mark and he had a box of new clothes for his site, with some that I had ordered, so I ended up with some cool clothes; a new casual type outfit that I really like, plus a new trench coat. nice. I also later read online that the final animated Batman set comes out December 6, the same day they release Superman, Volume 2! It was previously rumored that they would be released in December, but it's nice to have the dates confirmed, and to see cover art. Hopefully, with Batman finished off, and the final Superman set rumored to be released in June 2006, they will move onto boxed sets of other DCAU shows like Batman Beyond & Justice League.

Mark talked about working on my computer; getting me a dvd burner, and more than doubling my hard drive space!?! Sounds cool! But now that we know the dvd player still works that might not be as big a priority.

Mark & I watched the 1st 2 episodes of Dawson's Creek. I watched the entire first season when it originally aired (after Buffy), and then only caught an episode here or there after that (like the one featuring the first romantic gay male primetime television kiss), but I later rented the 2nd Season of the show, and enjoyed it alot. Then I bought the 3rd Season, which I didn't lover nearly as much, but continued on with seasons 4 & 5, which I liked far more than 3. Now I'm waiting for the final season, and I thought it would be neat to get Mark in on the act, since he used to hate it, and I think he would like it if he watched the later episodes.

After Dawsons's I watched some random stuff, and I went to bed around 1am, only to wake up at about 5:30am, because of being too warm, I imagine. I opened my vent all the way, and turned the air down a bit, and snacked on an icecream bar (which oddly, don't upset my stomack), and I wrote this. I work today & tomorrow, and then Saturday I'm going to a party for my Great Aunt & Uncle (mostly to see Janice & the kids, and possible Kristen), & I might visit other folks that day as well. Now I'm gonna go brush my teeth and try to sleep some more.

I might see my cousin Kristen tomorrow for the first time in nearly 4 years. We were pretty close for awhile there, and then...she disappeared. One day she called me with a job offer, and said she'd call me right back, and the next I heard she was living in California. I was pretty miffed about it. But I miss her. I think she may be avoiding me, because when last I saw her she was a lesbian having trouble balancing her lust & her baptist religious beliefs, and from something my sister told me, it sounds like she's now a christian walking the STRAIGHT & narrow. But I loved her before she came out to me. And I didn't love her because she was gay; I loved her because she was Kristen. Or maybe she just doesn't want to hang out with me because I'm a corrupting influence, or maybe now that she's straight, she just finds me disturbingly attractive!?! (that was a joke) But whatever the reason, I find myself wanting to clear all this emotional crap out of the way so we can maybe be close again. erg.

Work mostly flew by today with Bryan, DJ, Nate, Scott & later Ben & Dan; lots of fun was had. The store was mostly dead again. Oh, and Heidi showed up at 5pm which was also fantastic. I rented Lilo & Stitch 2 for Mark, and we watched the next Dawson's Creek episode before I took a breather. I'm gonna get dressed, and maybe go out. I don't know where. Just out.

I went to Hollywood Video last night to drop off the JLU Season finale for Bryan; he used to like Batman Beyond, and the episode is basically a season finale for that series, despite it actually being a JLU episode; I hope it worked ok. Robert & Diana were there to pick up Bry so I got to talk to them for awhile which was nice. I stopped by Aut Bar, but only stayed a moment before heading home. I wasn't really sure if I wanted to go out for more or not.

Around midnight I returned to Aut Bar & said hello to Rusty before going to Necto where I ran into my ex-bf Paul, who I knew must be drunk when he saw me, ran over to me and gave me a big hug. I don't hate him or anything, but I kind of wish he would just say hello and move on because when he's all friendly like that it confuses me, because I have no clue why we stopped seeing each other; he just stopped calling me. But it WAS nice to see him, and hug him, and kiss him too. He says we're all seeing Serenity together, so I guess that's cool.

I also met a really hot guy named Joe, who looked Indian. I don't know what it is with me & Indian guys lately, but I just...biracial men are hot, and their skin is just...tastey. And Indian guys kind of look like their...I don't know. I'm tired and rambly but I don't think he was all about me, but it was fun to flirt with him.

I also met Amy & Paul, who are not a couple, but are friends. Paul is 23, and Amy is 19, and they're from Plymoth. I hung out with them most of the night, and Amy met Edgan/Eden (I can't remember exactly how his name was pronounced as I was really tired and didn't bother to get the name correctly even though he's super hot). Paul was a lot of fun too, and we held hands and stuff. He fixes computer stuff, and he's never been with a guy before - and he's got a nice sense of humor, and I kissed him goodnight, plus some random gropage, which was hot & innocent all at the same time, if that makes any sense? It was fun.

I didn't get to bed until around 6am, but woke up around 8am with my stomack upset; took me another hour or so to get over that, and get back to bed - only to have a hail storm wake me up; at least I think it was hail; maybe it was just really LOUD rain. I got back to sleep, and then got up again to hustle myself out to Milan to go to my Aunt & Uncle's 60th party, where I actually had a quite a lot of fun. Nina & her daughter Carrie invited me to their church, which I'm actually considering attending. I know I have some god issues, and I've never really taken care of them, and maybe talking about them might help. I don't know. I don't want to offend anyone. I just... I don't know. I'm wicked tired, and I'm going to sleep now.
