I had plans Friday night; they were cancelled. I had tentative plans for Saturday; those didn't happen. I had plans for Sunday night; they've been cancelled. People wonder why I don't plan things; this is why. With the exception of Mark's birthday party, I've never been able to plan anything very well. I'm still hanging out with Mollie tonight (I hope), watching the Oscars. Perhaps Bryan would want to come too? He was supposed to go to DJ's. We'll see.

I got some new mashups. It's been too long. ;-0)

Things went from bad to worse (there was bloodshed in horrible places), but Mollie was able to view the Oscars with me. "Crash", which I suspected would win Best Picture, did win. I'm sure it's an amazing movie, and I really want to see it, but it was a little sad that the movie that won Best Director, and had won so many pre-Oscar awards didn't win the biggest prize. And no Best Picture winner has ever been GLBT themed, which is unfortunate, so while the night was overall a great night for GLBT themed projects (Brokeback was nominated for more awards than anyone else, it won 3, including Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Score - Capote won Best Actor, and was nominated for several more - and TRANSAMERICA was nominated for at least 2 - plus the Queer twisted Constant Gardner was on show) - the final award left me a bit...downcast.

One good thing though was all the gay content of these films in the aftermath of the de-lesbian DOMINO, the less gay Director's Cut of ALEXANDER, and the de-bisexualizing of "A Beautiful Mind". Maybe these latest films will encourage others to step up and be heard - truthfully. There are so many GLBT stories that need to be heard.

And I have to say that I was very happy that "Brokeback Mountain" won for Best Score! I'm a huge fan of movie scores, and I've seen this one nominated for all sorts of other prizes and not win for them - which I didn't understand as this score is so moving, and I didn't expect it to win tonight, so that was a lovely surprise. If Brokeback had lost for Director or Adaptated Screenplay I would have been shocked; as it was I was just very grateful.

I rerented Harry Potter 4, and also rented Howl's Moving Castle; I look forward to watching them, possibly tonight.

I took a nap after my last post; then I sat at my computer, with my headphones on, listening to the latest mashups I've collected. A good bunch. I still can't believe Brokeback didn't win Best Picture. It annoys me. A lot. I didn't hear Mark leave for work, because my headphones were on, and when I got up to give him a hug goodbye, he had already gotten in the car; I wandered out in the snowfall, in my barefeet to give him a hug goodbye, but he didn't see me, and drove away. I called him though, and that was enough, I guess.

I'll hopefully get to hang out with Erich, Erin, & Cheryl(?) sometime soon.

Matt from Bowling Green left me a message on my phone last night. I just left him a message in return. I've known him for nearly 2 years now, I think; weird.

The new DS9 book comes out tomorrow (at least according to parts of Amazon - other parts say the end of March); I'll probably dive right into that, even though I was planning on rereading the relaunch first; there will be time for that, after the new book is read; there won't be a follow up to that book for at least a year, so there's a lot of time. I preordered Boys Life 5.

I took some Midrin last night for a terrible headache, and I'm still a bit spacey. I have no idea what I want to do now. I should probably sleep, but I'm not sure I can.

After the last entry, I watched Harry Potter 4 up until the final task, then slept until around 6:10pm. Mark went grocery shopping after work, but he went to bed when he got home because he had a headache. I finished Harry Potter, and woke Mark up so he could watch 24, but either his headache was too bad, or it was a rerun or something because before the hour was up the lights were out in his room again. I slept; I had strange dreams. Jamie, my little sister was there. Also I saw Erich & possibly his wife at a bar. Those are just 2 of the images I remember, and while they don't sound disturbing, in the dream they really were. I looked over the Erich/Jessica/Bryan poem I wrote nearly a month ago; I have some great artwork for it, but I still haven't posted it; I'll probably go over the poem once more, and then post that later. I watched "Howl's Moving Castle", which was fun; watched the extras too. Then I watched the new "X3: The Last Stand" trailer: looks good.

I'm thinking about a cd project, that could explain part of what's been on my mind lately. I don't know if the mic is hooked up or not though, and I don't want to fuck that up... But it would be nice if I could work on that today. I think Mark will probably get up early since he's gotten more sleep tonight than usual, so I'll talk to him about it then, and show him the new X-Men trailer.

I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now. I feel numb, which scares me a little. I kind of feel like I'm in the eye of the storm. Not sure what's coming next, or how I should feel about it. I guess I'll know when it hits.

I'm tired, and acidy, and no longer sure I'll Mark before he leaves for work, as I may drift into slumber land. Though the whole acid thing might prevent that... Perhaps I'll have a wonderful day though?

Just found this interesting Brokeback Mountain Oscar Snub article. It says a lot of what has been going on in my head. I don't have anything against the movie Crash, and I want to see it desperately! But it's Oscar win for Best Picture after all that came before it struck me as just wrong. Part of me feels like I'm being a sore loser, but the other part of me says I have every right to be; everything that a Best Picture movie is supposed to do on it's way to the Oscars was achieved by Brokeback; in fact it was the most honored movie in cinematic history! So why didn't it win Best Picture from Oscar? I don't know if it was homophobia...I just know that it doesn't feel right.

I work today at 1pm. I have Thursday off, work on Friday, have Saturday off, and then most likely close the store Sunday night. It's possible that Mollie & I will watch Desperate Housewives & The L Word on Saturday. I don't have any other plans this week. I keep working the Star Trek pages on my webpage; they're slowing getting more complex, which could be really great later on.

I watched some DS9; the best of all Treks. Earlier, I shaved, and showered, and got things ready for work today. I cleaned my room a bit. I watched "The Velocity of Gary", which I've owned for sometime, but not seen in nearly 6 years. I enjoyed it more this time than the last, and I had forgotten all the references to Dracula. I remember writing about Shawn the last time I saw it. This time I considered writing about Travis, and then Mark. I don't know if I'll write the poetry I considered, but the thoughts were pretty.

I wrote a long e-mail to my friends & Hollywood coworkers about my disdain for the Oscars. To read some more about what's being said online try here & here.

I didn't sleep before work on Wednesday; but work went by fairly quickly, with some fun along the way. It was great working with DJ, Pat, Bryan & Heidi. Jeef's girlfriend stopped in, though I don't know why. She said that she'd heard a lot of good things about me. hmmm. I drove Mark to work in the morning, and stopped at Kroger to get flowers & a card for DJ because his beloved dog was put to sleep on Sunday; the flowers were beautiful, but the sales person was incompetent, so I only ended up getting him a card. That was probably best because he cried for awhile after just getting the card. I guess that means he's grieving, which is better than suppressing; wish there was something I could do though. A few 'guests' mentioned that they were really glad that CRASH won best picture at the Oscars; I somehow managed to not freak out on them, or strangle them. There was one girl who came in and mentioned that she was still upset about Brokeback not winning, which surprised me, and made me smile.

I stayed a little bit longer at work because there was a line, but soon headed out to pick up Mark from work. I had a headache, but I didn't want to take anything for it until I was home for fear of crashing the car (I was so tired!). I was grooving to some of my more recent mashup acquisitions. When we got home, Mark hooked up my tv/vcr to my computer, and I filed away the 2 GLBT movies that arrived at the house today ("Score" & "Straight Acting"). And then pain killer, and sweet oblivion.

I'll probably make some Desperate Housewife/ALIAS tapes for Carrie today. But while I'm doing that I can't use my computer which sucks.

While I was on my lunchbreak at work I called my Grandmother and chatted with her for awhile. I got Linda's # so that I could get Joy's #, but Linda didn't answer. I left a message on Erich's phone to see when we could hang out. And a few minutes ago I posted his 2nd poem to my webpage; perhaps he'll see them there?

I also got some messages from Linda Riker recently, and she says we're gonna bowl ;-0) lol Well...I'm off.

I made a Desperate Housewives tape for Carrie yesterday. I'll probably make another one tonight, and then she'll be caught up, I think. Work was fun, but I was so tired. I didn't sleep last night, or today. I need to get to sleep. But I felt like writing; I got 8 new poems written, and artwork finished for each; those can be read here.

Mollie will probably be over tomorrow to watch Desperate Houswives. Mark is on his way to his dad's house. There's a lot more I'd like to talk about about I just don't have the energy at the moment.
