I'm using my new computer. There are probably some bugs to work out, but I'm using it! Our internet connection is dial-up for now, as the new comcast gizmo didn't fix our problem, and they wouldn't refund our money, so Mark cancelled comcast; so no cable (which I never watched) and no high-speed internet - which I'm going to miss. We're getting DSL in about a week though, which will be better.
So I didn't sleep after the last entry; I just stayed up to run those errands with Mark. We went to comcast and got that aforementioned gizmo, after waiting in a really long line of annoyed people. We dropped of the memory for Mollie's computer with her brother Kenny, who was working at Staples, and then we took Jeremy's birthday flowers to him at work, and chatted with Kim, as Jeremy was really busy.
There are tons more details in those stories, that I just don't care to relive at this moment in time. lol
I slept after we got home. I woke up with a horrible migrain and took 2 midrin right away, and took a hot shower, while I shaved. I took another midrin an hour later (as directed) and it still was letting up. I went to the Aut Bar (looking extremely cute, I might add), for the sole purpose of drinking alcohol, which isn't something you should do on this medication, but I NEEDED this headache to be gone.
The drinks worked...all too well. I bought one for myself, and then several more bought for me, and I was toasted; drunk; gone. My ex-bf Paul was there with his friend Jason, and we chatted for about an hour; it was really nice. Chad was there, and I danced with him. Sam was there, and I tried very hard to ignore him, which wasn't easy the way he was grinding his crotch into my leg. Eventually he wandered off. Jeremy's friend Jeff was there, and he said that Jeremy speaks very highly of me. That was good to hear, as I never really imagined him talking about me at all. lol
I left a lot of drunken messages on peoples voicmails, before driving myself home. I felt ok at that point, and I don't live far from the bar - and I made it home safe and sound. Mark was getting my new computer running, with a few problems, but it's mostly done now. I want to get some DVD discs as soon as possible to burn pictures, and dvds for my friends!!!
When Mark & I were at Encore, Kim was trying to get Mark to go to a club with her; City Club or Necto, and Mark said he might when his ankle is better. I have to drive him to a followup appointment about that on Monday. I close the store tonight, and I have Monday off.

I had less than 100 pages left in "Magic's Promise" when I went to sleep around 1pm. When I headed out, I took extra time to go to Walgreens and get my perscription, which wasn't ready, even though it was supposed to be ready last night at 11:30pm. My headache was back, and I only had one midrin left. I went to work, a bit late after having to wait at Walgreens for the drugs that weren't there. It sucked.
Work was super busy tonight; I worked with Nate & Joe, while Bryan & Chris stopped by. It was crazy! It was mostly horrible. But it died down enough towards closing time that we were able to get the stuff done that we needed to get done, even if it didn't have that extra polish that it's had lately thanks to business being so slow. I bought 4 dvds: "Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut", "Imagine Me & You", "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", and "Underworld: Evolution".
I went to Club Divine after work. I had to go to Ypsi anyways, to get my drugs, which they swore would be ready this time. I also thought I'd stop by Mollie's and get my copy of "Breakfast on Pluto" back from her, but she didn't answer her phone, again. After Mollie didn't answer, I called Jeremy to make sure he was working; I was leaving him a message on his voicemail when he called me back, and I told him I'd see him when I got there. Then I called Mark to let him know I'd be out late, and not to worry about me.
The club was actually a lot of fun tonight. Other Sunday nights that I've gone, have been dead, with sucky music. The music was fun; the company was fun, and the dancing was fun. I met a lot of people, and ran into others that I knew. I saw Jeremy bartending - disturbingly cute. The smiles he flashed me made me want to fuck him right there. And I saw David Grant, who was supposed to meet friends, but they stood him up. Ryan, the gaysion, was also working the bar. We used to talk and stuff years and years ago, and then something happened, and that stopped. I have no memory of what that was, but it always surprises me when he doesn't say hello. I met a guy named Jamie, and I danced with a bunch of other people. James Mitchell was there, and we danced as well. I should remember peoples names but I don't. Ugh. But I had a lot of fun, and I'm planning on going again next Sunday night.
David walked me to my car, and then I drove him to his. He's still living with his parents, but will be going away to school in Chicago, in just about a month. That's rocks! He said he never got my e-mail with the last 2 poems, and that he lost my phone #, and I believe him. He wants me to call him before he leaves; we'll see what he thinks of the poetry, as one of them might be taken badly, while the other one might just explain some stuff.
I went to Walgreens and got my drugs. I knew I was going to Meijer, but I decided to go to the Ann Arbor/Saline store in case Yvette Tower was working...and she was! We talked for about an hour, catching up, and there were at least 2 big hugs! It was fantastic! Frank was there too, and there was cute banter...though no real sparks; I think that ship has passed. He's a top, and after being with someone so versatile, seeing someone who's just one thing, doesn't thrill me so much.
I got home around 4:30am. Ate. Read my e-mail, and wrote this. I have to drive Mark to the doctor's around 11am - then drop him off at work and pick him up at 6pm. I may go to Necto tonight; I'm not sure. We'll see how the day goes. I'm either goint to sleep for awhile, or attempt to finish the damned book.

I updated some of my GLBT inclusive movie links, and ordered "Third Man Out" with what was left of my amazon gift certificate. I drove Mark to his doctor's appointment, then took him to Wendy's and dropped him off. I went to Kroger for some groceries. I'm not usually one to get everything at once, so I go throughout the week as I need more. Mark was telling me that he found a really cool webpage design system that's better than the one I have now, and he's convinced that when I used it I'll want to restart my page from scratch!?! Well, if he's right, then that update in November might be bigger than I expected. Oh, and the new computer can't use our current scanner, which really sucks, because I've been trying to get my 1,000 plus pictures scanned to save to disc...but I guess we're getting a new scanner; hopefully soon.
I did an update on a list of my GLBT inclusive DVD library, and it seems that I have 585 titles (including the one I have loaned out, and the 2 I have preordered). That probably seems really impressive to some people, but it just seems like a very nice begining to me. There are at least that many that I don't have with more coming out every week; not that I'm complaining. ;-0)
Probably not a shocker to most of you, but it's fricking hot outside. I'm glad to be indoors, in the air conditioning. I'm going to read, and take a nap before I have to pick up Mark.
