Bald Jason's Musings
Monday, March 13, 2006
Saturday was all about Superman. Don't ask. I started getting yet another Sty, this one in my left eye, but it's mostly gone already, I think. Worked Sunday. I was way exhausted after work; it was raining, my eye was all swollen, and (hangs head in shame) I was on the phone...and I scraped the side of my car on the car-port. It sucked. Also, I stopped at Kroger first, and I left 2 bags of groceries there, so I had to go back. This helps do demonstrate that I was so very out of it. So, I have to drive Mark to work from now on, because Mark doesn't want to be seen driving the car. I know that it's weird, but when I fell in love with Mark all those years ago, I fell in love with the weird parts too, even if they were somewhat annoying. So I'm picking Mark up for Lunch to get an estimate on the damage; my eye still feels weird; and I haven't slept, because I had to stay up to drive him to work, which means I'm going to be ill later. great.
On the bright side, I watched Princess Mononoke last night. It's great when you see a movie you've wanted to see for years, and it's actually good ;-0) I have to stop at Hollywood and recheck that out, along with Spirited Away, and A History of Violence, for Mark. Ugh. I'm so tired. I want to be in bed.
Also, there are some really annoying homophobes on Cinescape(dot)com.

Yesterday was Hell. I couldn't sleep because I had all of these things I "had" to do. Yuck! I finally passed out around 6pm. I only slept for 6 hours maybe. I was supposed to call this guy I know, but my phone, which I put in my charger before going to bed, didn't really connect in the unit, and so it was dead when I woke up. When I tried to sleep this morning, my stomack was in knots, and I've been ever since, trying to calm it down. I tried making a JLU tape for Nate, but 6 episodes wouldn't fit on a tape, which killed those plans; weird, because 6 eps of Superman will fit... I got some awesome artwork & a poem done last night.
I work today. My clothes are in the washer & dryer. We have to go to the storage unit after work, and maybe the bank, but I'll probably sleep right after we get home, depending on how I feel then. I have to give that guy a call to let him know about yesterday's horror. And I have to call Mollie to set up some DH time. I still haven't heard from Erich. I need to get ready.

Work went fine on Tuesday. I never got around to calling my friend, Robert is his name. I told Mark I'd call progressive on Wednesday. I slept when I got home, for a few hours. I drove Mark to work on Wednesday. I setup a cd for Erich/Erin, who I called later, and left a message letting Erich know the poetry was finished and how to find it. I tried calling Progressive but insurance talk is like a completely different language, and I was confused before I even had to make a choice in the automated format. I told Mark that I'd make the call if he wanted me too, but that I'd need him around to translate for me, which he agreed to. I wrote an e-mail to Steve Ball, an old boyfriend of mine, and then I went to bed.
I was late picking Mark up from work, but he had been late to work, so it all worked out; mostly. We went to Meijer so Mark could pick up some things. He said that he shopped around for alternate insurance, but they are all even more outragious than our own. He also found out that if we did file a claim it would be even more expensive than we had imagined, so he says he's all for going to a bodyshop that will just make it look good, if not perfect - and not include some of the fancy things that the car doesn't need. Finally, a compromise I can live with. That, coming from Mark made me really happy.
After we got home Mark helped me with some JLU stuff, and then he wanted to watch Princess Mononoke with me, but I was so tired. I watched it with him anyways, and he liked it. I wanted to go to bed right after, but I also wanted to start recording a JLU tape for Nate at work. I started the recording and settled in, and I fell asleep, but I woke up a little bit later, and the project was all screwed up yet again! I know how to fix it, so it's no big deal. I went back to sleep, and woke up around 4am. I have today off. I hope to enjoy it.

Thursday was actually pretty sucky, but I managed somehow. I dropped Mark off at work, and headed home to eat and start that Nate tape (again) and everything seemed to be going fine... I really thought I'd worked all the bugs out, only this time the vcr just shutoff during the recording. For a second I thought I was maybe laying on the control or something, but I wasn't anywhere near it. That was really, really frustrating; I've ruined like 6 tapes trying to make just one. Blah.
After all that, I returned some dvds to Hollywood. I wanted to rent prereleases of & "Loggerheads" "The Dying Gaul"but we didn't even get any copies of "Loggerheads" in. Looks like I'll be bying that one soon. I actually want to buy both of those, and "Capote" as well, which also comes out on Tuesday (just like the other two). "Justice League: Season 1", & "Batman Beyond: Season 1" are both released on Tuesday as well. Very busy day, Tuesday.
And now my blog is doing something weird. I've got two entries here for one thing I wrote. Lovely.
Anyways, I don't know that I'll see "The Dying Gaul" today, but if I see it at all before it's out, that would please me enough. I work today. I have Saturday, Monday, Tuesday & next Saturday off. I've kind of been spoiled lately, and not had to work any days in a row; it's always every other day or something like that. This week I work 3 days in a row; that's gonna feel weird.
I haven't heard back from Erich or Steve. Steve has a lot of time left before I worry about him, but Erich has gotten 2 phone messages, and he hasn't rented anything from the store in nearly a month... erg. I hate not knowing if people are ok. It used to really drive me insane, and now it just...it bothers me.
I'm hungry.
And I really want to see "V For Vendetta"! Not only does it look cool, from all that I've heard...it is cool. And will one day reside on my GLBT shelf ;-0) Maybe I'll go see it Monday after I drop Mark off at work; that would rock! It looks like something Mollie might like too, so I should see if she can go. Mark & I don't see movies together much anymore, which is ok... I really only like going to the early weekday shows, when there aren't as many people, but that's when Mark's at work. Though I can sometimes be fine at a movie opening, when the audience is really into the movie (X2 & Serenity were fantastic opening night experiences). If Ultraviolet is still playing, perhaps I couls see a double-feature, but that's not really a priority for me. I'd like to see Underworld II as well, but I doubt that's still playing anywhere.
Ok. Food. ;-0)
