After the last entry, I took a shower and woke Mark up; we watched the last 4 episodes of the 3rd Season of Dawson's Creek, then Mark & I went to our rooms, and both went to sleep. I don't know what time I woke up. I know I slept well, and that did nothing. lol I relaxed, but I had some acid issues, and it was annoying. I slept later, which was a mistake. I wrote some e-mails, and I later talked to Mollie briefly on the phone about tomorrow night. Mark & I watched the 1st episode of Season 4 of the Creek, and then he went to bed and I finished watching the Polar Express, which I enjoyed; it reminded me of "The Thief of Always" & the Harry Potter books in that it's a children's story, but told in such a fashion that it can appeal to a larger audience. And now I'm writing this.

I went to sleep for a little while, and Mark woke me up saying he smelled smoke. Our smoke detector doesn't have a battery in it; it died a few weeks ago. I could smell something too; it smelled like burning plastic. It was stronger downstairs, we searched all over but couldn't find anything & we couldn't see any smoke. I got dressed and we went outside but there was no smoke visible, and some of our closest neighbors have moved out and the shades were open so we could see that there wasn't a fire or smoke in there. It might be the wiring in the wall, which is scary, and it might be the downstairs computer which is shut off now - I hope it's all ok. The downstairs computer has all my slash art on it, and my tv shows, and a ton of stuff for gothboy.

erg.

I'm so tired, but I'm going to stay up for as long as I can, just in case.

Well, we made it through the night with no fire, at least none that we can see. I haven't been downstairs yet, but I'm hoping the burning smell has drifted out the window we opened. Mark is in the shower, having just cut his hair, and is going to his storage unit & Kroger to pick up a few things. I decided yesterday that I didn't really feel like going out at all, so I stayed home, but I'll probably go to Borders later today with my 30% off coupon, and my $15.00 gift card (Thanks Peter!), to get the full Rent Soundtrack, and the latest issue of The Advocate.

Mark found the problem; our X-Box died last night. I left it on, but that shouldn't have been a huge problem; apparently the mechanism that spun the discs stopped working. I'm glad it wasn't the computer, or the wiring in the walls, and I had stopped playing games on the X-Box at least a year ago; we only used it as a dvd player, which we can use the computer for, until we can get a Playstation 3, which I wanted to get anyways. So that's cool.

On a side note, I've been trying to find black & white Advantix film, but apparently no one has it anymore. All the online places say they are out of stock, or that's it's temporarily unavailable, but there's nothing explaining why. It sucks. I wanted to take some new photos for my webpage. I also wanted some new photos for my gay.com profile; I've had the same profile name for years, but I was never really happy with it. I opened a new one, but didn't feel like using old pictures in it; even pix less than a year old, so I haven't been chatting there at all - which isn't a big deal, but it's nice to chat there sometimes. If anyone reads this and has access to the film I'm looking for, or knows what's going on, please let me know. ;-0)

Went to Borders on Washtenaw last night to get the Rent soundtrack but they didn't have it; then I met up with Mollie, Carrie, Adam, Jennifer & the other Staples people for Bowling. I won a game; bowling a 163, which is rare for me, because I generally suck really bad at bowling. It was mostly fun, though after a wacky encounter with this one guy who was there, and the night ending all abruptly I left feeling kind of blue. I stopped by Hollwood Video to say hello to Josh Rosen, and then Aut Bar, which was lame. I got home around 11:30pm, and watched some Dawson's Creek with Mark, who gave me an anniversary card (though we'd decided not to get each other anything); it was a good way to end the night.

We saw King Kong today, which I really enjoyed. I knew the previous Kongs so well that I was able to pick up on a lot of stuff, and the movie made me cry. We ate at Red Robin after the movie, then Mark dropped me off at Borders downtown while he went to the storage unit to pick up some gothzone orders. I got the complete Rent Soundtrack (finally), which I'm listening to right now while I type this. I also got the new Advocate, and I read that when I got home, and the new Entertainment Weekly. I read the news at gay.com, and CNN, and now I'm writing this, and probably going to watch some Dawson's Creek with Mark who just walked into my room. In a few hours I'll have known him for 10 years. ;-0)

I might go to the Necto later, but I'm not sure, because I'm kind of tired, and I have to go there Wednesday night for work.

I watched 2 Dawson's Creek episodes with Mark, then I got ready and went to Necto, which was mostly boring, though it was nice to see Becky, Greg, Vince & Sandor - plus there were peeps from online and stuff. I got to talk to Sandor, which I haven't done in ages. He's got a new band, Kouture, and I met his bandmate Patrick, who remembered me from the night that I made out with Sandor - weird. Sandor is single now, but he's not dating, or even fucking, which is fine, though when I'm up close with him and we're looking at each other...erg. I talked to Becky for awhile and Wednesday night's Hollywood party at Necto is also a Necto Christmas Party so she'll be there, and I promised her I'd try to get DJ to come to the party.

After the bar, I came home, said hello to Shawn Foreman, who wants me to call him tomorrow after 8pm; hope all is well with the 'Shwan' monster. I chatted with Bobby, who's home in Grand Haven, which sucks because we'd love to explore our hopefully budding friendship - plus we're both attracted. roar. I also talked with Paul in sunny California who saw Brokeback Mountain already, and is suffering guilty feelings because most members of his family are dead or dying or suffering and he's not around to help them, and can't afford to send them anything because of him being broke after their recent move. I tried to cheer him up because he's my friend, and a great guy who doesn't deserve to feel crappy...I think I made him smile at least.

I said goodnight to those two - stroked off, and showered, while trying to get the massive amounts of eyeliner off. I need to wash my work clothes, which I just remembered - and I need to get some sleep. I work from 1pm-5:30pm, and then again on Friday. blah. I have the Rent soundtrack in my head, which is nice. ;-0)

I put all my work clothes in the washer last night, and watched last week's Nip/Tuck, thinking I'd put the clothes in the dryer after the episode ended - except that I fell asleep, and didn't remember that bit until about 6 minutes ago - so now I'm waiting for my clothes to dry, and may be late to work - which sucks.

I was 20 minutes late for work. There was construction going on inside the store, of the loud, smelly variety. It sucked. There were a few stress filled encounters, and I didn't get my break until it was time for me to leave, but I managed to have some fun anyways. ;-0) I worked with Bryan, Bobby, Matt, Heidi & Nate; Josh & Pat stopped by, and DJ called. It was an ok day of work. I went to Meijer with Mark after work (I stayed an hour late I think), and then we came home. I watched an episode of Drawn Together, and then I called Shawn for some random giggles, before taking a brief nap. I read the news online, and my e-mail, and then read part of a book I bought the other night about Angel: The Series. Mark just went to bed, and I feel like doing something, but I'm not sure what that something will be, as of yet. Wish me luck.

I ordered some movies yesterday, and I got some stuff sorted, and just enjoyed my day off. I chatted with Mark & Bobby. I went to Necto around 9:30pm for the Necto/HV party. Bryan & Chris were there, along with Bryan's visiting cousin Derek. Jeff & Sarah later arrived. Matt, Sarah & Heidi showed up later, as did Nate, Pat, & Ben. I had a really good time, though the music sucked. Jeff, Sarah & Chris all went home fairly early. Bryan & Ben both got to bartend. Becky, Scott & DJ Jinx were all there enjoying the party, and Robert, Fabio, and Ryan were there. There was an after party at Matt's house, which I drove Matt, Bryan & Derek too; fun was had by all, and I drove Bryan & Derek to Bryan's place and came home. Got here around 4:10am; had a snack and read my e-mail & stuff. I'm about ready to collapse.

I watched the final 2 episodes of Nip/Tuck's 3rd season and they were awesome!!! They were filled with surprises, and really restored my faith in the series; it had wavered a few weeks back, but it turned out beautifully. And shockingly, a series I enjoy is actually a hit. According to reports, Nip/Tuck ended it's third season with more young adult viewers than any other single episode of a cable series this year! Those final 2 episodes averaged a 3.0 rating/9 share among adults 18-49 and 5.7 million total viewers; those numbers also made the episodes the most-watched single telecast in FX's history. The 3rd season also remained the highest-rated series on basic or pay cable among adults 18-49. And among all viewers, Nip/Tuck was cable's 4th most-watched show of 2005. It is nice to watch a program that I enjoy, which isn't just fabulous in my opinion, but also watched by others as well. I can't wait to watch those episodes with Mollie.

I'm going to try to catch up on ALIAS. I haven't watched the last 5 episodes, though I have them. From what I've read, it's gotten better...and I do want to be caught up when the series finale rolls around.

I'm awake...sort of. Getting ready for work; I work 1pm-5:30pm, of course Mark gets off at 6pm, so I have to wait for him, then he'll drop me off here, and then he'll go visit his mom. I'm worried about him driving the car so far (Toledo) by himself. He ran over a hook yesterday that got stuck in the right rear tire, but didn't seem to puncture the tube. He called Suburu and they said it was probably ok... but that doesn't sound good to me. I wish we had the money to just get a new tire.

blah.

The oven is beeping.
