Bald Jason's Musings
Saturday, December 1, 2007
I had a good time at work. I was in a good mood most of the day actually. I worked with DJ, Bryan, Laura, Mike, Joe, Pat, Amanda...with appearances by Meg & John, though not together. Customers were mostly friendly and happy, and work went by fairly quickly. I worked over a bit too. Mark dropped me off, so I had to wait for him to pick me up, after I'd worked about an hour over the end of my shift, I punched out, and talked to Michael on the phone. I didn't take Jamie her presents because there wasn't anyone answering the phone at their house. I came home, with the intention of sleeping, but instead watched some "My So-Called Life" which I'd rented, and also watched on my break at work; so ahead of it's time, that one.
When I realized I wasn't going to sleep, I called Michael. Then I called Paul to see if his message meant anything - and if he was going. He said that he wasn't; that he and Nate had just gone to dinner, and were just now climbing into bed. Oops. But he left me that message, so it's not like I didn't have reason to call. I guess Nate is in the process of moving out, with the rationale that living together isn't working, and that the move will either break them up completely or make them stronger. I'm leaning more towards the former option...but not because that's what I want; only because of what I know. It just doesn't sound like a plan for a successful relationship, you know?
Michael & I decided we'd go to the bar anyways. I shaved, put on some eyeliner, some piercings, some vinyl and leather. Michael was going to wear his "slutty pants" but decided against it. We went to the bar where I used my VIP Pass to get me and my +1 in for free. I bought us some drinks. He later bought me a drink. We danced. I introduced him to peeps, and he introduced me to peeps; peeps as in people, not those scary Easter things - ick. We ran into Charlie, who I'd met about a month and a half ago, and it turns out he was one of the boys that had been all over Nate a few weeks ago...or vice versa? He asked if we'd brought Nate with us, and I told him that no we hadn't, and that he was at home fucking his boyfriend. He didn't look happy, and then said that this was probably just because Paul wouldn't let him live with him, if they hadn't gotten back together. I told him that Nate was moving out, so I'm not sure that was the reason. Ugh. Besides that moment, which itself wasn't terrible, the night was great.
We left just before the bar closed. It was freezing outside, and I had left my jacket & hat in the car, thinking that the coat check was probably full (it wasn't, goddamn it!), so we ran back to my car, and talked while I drove us home. We actually sat in the warm car for a bit when we got home, but Michael wanted to go inside; wanted me to try something that we'd tried before. It was hot. We showered the bar off us, and had fantastic sex again (which I seriously didn't expect; I expected sleep).
After we showered again, we watched an episode of Doctor Who. He had watched the first 3 discs this week, so he only had 5 episodes left of the season (including the Children In Need mini-episode, and "The Christmas Invasion", so I was excited to see the end with him, but we were both exhausted, so we just watched the one. Michael headed home because he had some work stuff to do there, and I watched part of another "My So-Called Life" episode, and then drifted to sleep. I had odd, but fun dreams.
Speaking of dreams. Michael has been having hot & horny dreams about me. I'd post the details, but they aren't really mine to share. lol. Suffice it to say that they are hot. Just like he is. Yum.
When I woke up, Mark wanted to know if I wanted to go get a flu shot today. I did kind of want to go, but I was sore, and didn't want to do anything that involved moving very far...so I said no. I tried to sleep some more, with little success. I checked my e-mail, and my downloads; one of which might work (a 1st Doctor story!) while the other one, which I wanted more (the 3rd Doctor story which introduces The Master and the Autons) seems to only be scraps that someone posted. :-0( Oh well. I can't win them all. But Michael and I made plans for him to come over tonight and finish the first season of Doctor Who which has me geeked! I'm excited to share the experience with him!
So...in other Doctor Who related news...the Christmas Special should air 3 weeks from Tuesday. Torchwood Season 2 starts up in January. "Torchwood Season 1 will be on dvd January 22. Doctor Who #104 "Destiny of the Daleks" & the Special Edition of #152 "Remembrance of the Daleks" will be available March 4, 2008. And finally, the 4th Doctor's #081 "Planet of Evil" & 3rd Doctor's #070 "The Time Warriors" (which also introduces the Sontarans and Sarah Jane Smith) will be released on April 1, 2008. Cool. :-0)

I have a headache. Blah.
Besides that things are good. I cleaned up my room, and the kitchen a bit. I put up some new pictures in my room, which I haven't done in at least a month; it's coming along well. I'm loving it actually. I'm doing some laundry, and I should probably clean my room some more. I cleaned up the clutter, but it could use a major cleaning all around I think. lol I might take a break for a hot shower though; those help with my headaches sometimes.

Sunday, December 2, 2007
The shower I took after the last entry did help with my headache. Michael came over again, and we finished off season of Doctor Who, then went to bed. It was really hot in my room, so Michael went downstairs, saying he might be back up after watching some Buffy. He watched one episode then fell asleep on the couch. I slept pretty well.
When I got up this morning things were still going well. Mike got up shortly after me, and we started season 2 of Doctor Who. Just as the 2nd episode was ending, my stomach, which hasn't much bothered me for nearly 2 weeks, all but imploded. I was in pain. Mark went to the store for me. Mike continued watching Who, which was fine with me. Eventually Mike left to get some stuff done at home. I called into work. My stomach started feeling better, but not good enough for me to go out; and I couldn't bear the thought of standing all night.
I worked on sorting some of my fan art collection, and finding more; a never ending cycle. Later I talked to Mike online, and told him I was sorry if I was bitchy earlier (cause I was), and said that if he could put up with my bitchy moments, and continuous stomach problems that I'd love to call him my boyfriend. He said that sounded cool, as long as I could put up with him not being perfect, and him crying in my room sometimes. So we made it official. Boyfriends.
Mark wanted pizza and I needed to eat. Mike wanted to come back over. And I wanted more tape so I could put up more pictures in my room. Mike offered to get the tape as he lives very near to Staples, and they were closing soon. After he picked it up, and got ready to come over, Mark left to go to the bank and pick up the food, which I ordered as Mark left.
Michael arrived before Mark, and it was all I could do to NOT fuck him on the spot. I did play a little. Roar. When Mark arrived we ate the food (which I didnt' think was that good) and watched the next 2 episodes of Doctor Who ("Rise of the Cybermen" / "The Age of Steel"). It was nice. But my stomach was still upset, and I was trying to ignore that and have a good time. Mark and Michael helped with that.
After Who, Mark headed to his room, and Mike and I chatted, randomly. I wandered upstairs and thought to update my blog. I went down to check on Michael but he seemed to have fallen asleep on the couch. I must have woken him up when I came back upstairs because he soon followed and is on the bed behind me at this very moment.
Hopefully my stomach starts feeling better pronto. I really enjoyed the last two weeks. It was almost like I was just a normal guy. ;-0)

Mark taught me & Mike to use the new camera and we fooled around with it for a bit...then did other stuff. We showered, and Mike just left. He has class in the morning, but is free 3 nights in a row, starting on Tuesday. My stomach doesn't seem to be bothering me at this exact moment, but I'm not holding my breath. I think it's most likely lurking; waiting to attack when I least expect it.
On a side note. I just realized I let Lucas borrow another dvd of mine that I'm never getting back. Damn It. I'll have to reorder it, which I hate, but I really don't feel like going out there again...though I do need to call his roomie, Carrie to see if she got the card and mashup cd I gave her. I wouldn't put it past Lucas to open her mail. Bastard.
Things with Michael are good...but I have some random thoughts running through my head, and perhaps I'm worrying over nothing. We'll see. I'm probably just tired. I'm downloading the new Desperate Housewives. When that's done, I'll probably burn more Doctor Who for Mollie, and read my Trek book - if I don't fall asleep first.

Tuesday, December 4, 2007
Sunday Night/Monday morning, I chatted with Michael online. I watched the new Desperate Housewives, and then Brothers & Sisters, both of which were good, though the former featured a shocking ending that will apparently have to tide us over until after the writers' strike! Ugh.
I eventually slept. I woke up around noon I think. I got a message from Mollie on my cell, and promptly called her back. She's been sick and not taking calls, but she's feeling better now, and I caught her just before she went to bed, and chatted for about an hour I think. It was nice.
Later, I read that the Season 2 premiere episode of Torchwood had been screened for the press, and is getting rave reviews! The episode now has a title ("Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang!") & there's quite a bit of news there, which is good, since I was aching for Torchwood news, as there's been next to none of late.
Speaking of Torchwood. I need to find a time that's good for Chris & I to watch some first season Torchwood... hmmm...
Also on Monday, I talked to Michael on the phone and online. I cuddled with Mark briefly, as he'd had a very stressful day, and that always helps him; though he eventually left me alone at my request. I've been all about the alone time today.
Most of my day was spent putting my fan art pictures in order, which is something I'm always meaning to do, but never quite find the time. I got lots done on that account; sorting out hundreds of pictures. There are still thousands that need to be done, but I'm chipping away at it. ;-0)
The rest of this entry is going to be about me thinking / writing about my sex life. If that freaks you out or you just don't want to know about this - leave now. You've been warned. Have a great day!
So...Sex...with Michael is fantastic. Seriously. It's hot. It gets us both off. It can be tender at times, and intensely kinky the next. The only thing is...he's very dominant, which I like... Except I've always been one to switch roles like that whenever the mood (of me or my partners) was struck by the notion. But he doesn't enjoy submitting. At all. Now...that's fine. I know lots of guys that are one or the other (and this isn't a Top or Bottom thing - though there're some issues there as well, which I imagine could be sorted out in time) - but I've never dated anyone who was so set on one thing. I've talked to him about this, and he says he's willing to try stuff, which is good to hear. Because the thing about the games people play behind bedroom doors is...that for me...they're just games. And while I get off on playing the submissive role, I like being dom too, and by switching off...I find a measure of equality that I find very stimulating and appealing...and I'm worried that if that balance isn't met, it could have repurcussions outside of the bedroom - at the very least, inside my own head - both slight & overwhelming. And that's what's been going on in my brain for the last 24 hours. Me. Contemplating the ramifications of 1 sided roleplaying. Maybe it's nothing...but that's not how it feels. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

Tuesday evening I talked on the phone with Chris. Our phones kept cutting out, but she needed to talk, and I was glad to help. She's got family visiting soon, and then after that's all sorted she's excited to see Torchwood. Torchwood Season 2 is rumored to begin Wednesday, January 16, 2008 - that's just 6 weeks from yesterday! 3 Weeks from this last Tuesday the Christmas Special will air - oh - and AVP:R opens sometime around there too. ;-0) Maybe I'll see it with Chris & Bryan as they're both eager to see it; Michael hasn't seen any of the previous 7 films so I'm not sure he'd get it.
Just after the call, I went to the pharmacy to get my Imitrex refill. I stopped into Barnes & Nobel, and then Borders looking for Doctor Who themed magazines, but couldn't find any that I didn't already have. I bought 2 Doctor Who books that were cheap, and cute. I then drove to Michael's place, and called him on the phone, not telling him I was very nearly at his door. When I did arrive, I knocked and he told me on the phone that he keeps thinking that he's hearing someone knocking on the door, but there's never anyone there, so he's not going to check this time. I told him he should this time, because I was the one knocking now. He kind of freaked that I was there unannounced, as his place was messy and he was undressed - which didn't shock me at all, as he's told me that his place is often messy, and I've seen him in all states of undress. The vibes were all scary though, and I didn't stay for long - not just because of that - he's got cats. Blah.
Later I looked at my books, and chatted with Michael online. I had a headache. Mark was working on Bitserve stuff; he's been so stressed lately.
Wednesday, I cleaned a bit. I shaved and showered. I put some more pictures up in my room. I sorted some more fan art. I ate. When Mark got home I gave Michael a call. I'd been extra horny all day, and bluntly asked if he could come over and fuck me. lol. Later I went to the comic shop to get the new issue of Buffy - then went to Hollywood to return my rentals, then checked out The Bourne Ultimatum & Harry Potter 5, both of which will be released on Tuesday. I went home, at the omelette I'd been craving, and read the new Buffy comic. I cleaned my room a bit more, and got ready for Michael's arrival.
When Michael showed up I was raring to go, and we screwed for the next several hours. After naked fun, and showers, we watched some more Doctor Who. I fell asleep during the last one ("The Satan Pit") and after it ended Michael left. He's coming over tonight to watch Harry Potter 4 & 5 with me and Mark. Mark doesn't remember 4, and has never seen 5; Michael hasn't seen either one. Should be fun.
Michael has gotten a few of his friends hooked on Buffy & Doctor Who now, and bonded with others who already enjoy them. It's cute. ;-0)
After Michael left, I went upstairs to my room; read my e-mail; then grabbed my Star Trek book, which I've been neglecting lately. I started reading, diving back in without feeling like I'd left it for so long...and then half a page down I conked out.
I woke up when Mark called me to talk, but he let me go when he found I was sleeping. I chatted with him later on AIM. I ate. I checked my mail. I jacked off and showered. I put more pictures up. I'm working on this cool collage in my room, which is kind of a sequel to the one I used to have at my parents' house. Maybe I've written about it here before; I can't remember. But if I haven't, then maybe whoever is reading this should check out the pictures on this page. There are pictures at the top and bottom of the page, of my old bedroom - with poetry I wrote about it, back in 1995.
I've been burning more discs for Mollie today. I talked to Michael on the phone. We're planning Harry Potter night to begin between 7 & 8pm. Perhaps I'll watch the 3rd Bourne Movie now? I guess I don't have time...so I'll just burn more discs for Mollie. ;-0)

Instead of watching the 3rd Bourne movie while I waited for Mark & Michael, I put more pictures up and burned more Mollie discs. I called Carrie Blum to see if she got her cd, but I got her voicemail. I called my grandma to see if she'd be home tomorrow night, so I could drop off Jamie's presents. And I called Carrie & Adam as I realized I hadn't talked to them in forever. Adam seems to be doing well; he just went back to work at Staples again. Carrie was asleep, so I just had Adam let her know that I called.
Mark got home while I was on the phone, and Michael arrived shortly after. Mark wanted to get right to the Harry Potter, and so we did. Michael copied all the new Who that I had and then switced to movies from my shelf. Michael doesn't like the Harry Potter movies; preferring the books. I was kind of surprised that he agreed to come watch them with us, but I thought he was enjoying the 4th one...only he apparently wasn't. He didn't seem to really be there. It was strange. Even Mark noticed, and he doesn't always pick up on that sort of thing. Michael left about a quarter of the way through the 5th film, saying that the movie was putting him to sleep. More was said, but it's kind of private...and I don't think it went well. I called him shortly after he left and we talked for short while...and I don't think that went very well either. I haven't really coupled with anyone since...I don't know when. Corey & I dated briefly, I suppose. Jeremy I was in love with, but we were never officially a couple now that I think about it, as he already had a partner. Anyways...maybe I just suck at the dating thing, and there's a reason why I get screwed over all the time. I don't think Mike is screwing with me...yet I seem to be unbearable annoyed by the littlest things lately, and I don't know where that's coming from. If I had a shrink, I'd be asking for an opinion about now. lol
Anyways - Mark liked the 4th & 5th movies, but had to go to bed just after. I'm still burning discs for Mollie, but I'm nearly finished with that, until I can get some D9s. Anyways... I don't know what I'm going to do now.

Work on Friday was fun. I worked with DJ, Bryan, Meg, Pat, Laura, Amanda & Brad. John came in for awhile...as did former co-worker Ben, who will soon be working at Blockbuster up the road. Apparently the manager at the Packard Plaza Hollywood did something that makes me want to send him flowers. That made my day.
After work, Mark & I went to Grandma's house, and visited with her, Grandpa, Mom & Dad, Jamie & Paul. I gave Jamie the last of her gifts. She never thanked me for her party. Paul didn't say a word to me. I was polite...but I feel like I've done all that I can here. If they don't want to interact with me, then there is nothing that I can do about it. Case Closed.
:-0(
I slept in the car on the way home. I chatted with Michael for a bit; he's on season 4 of Buffy already. I watched "The Bourne Identity" and started "The Bourne Supremacy", but shut it off soon enough and went to sleep.
I woke up early; around 9am. I sorted more pictures on my computer; I'm actually getting a lot more done than I expected to, so that's cool. I later slept some more. I ate. I watched the rest of "The Bourne Supremacy" and then watched "The Bourne Ultimatum". I've enjoyed all 3 of them, though I doubt I'll see them again anytime soon. They're good action movies, that fit together extremely well; the first half of the 3rd film actually takes place between the final 2 scenes of the 2nd film, and they just hold together perfectly. Nice.
I brushed my teeth. I read my e-mail. And then I wrote this. I can't believe it's nearly 9pm. It seriously feels like it should be around 4pm. Weird. I wonder how Michael's doing? I haven't seen him since Thursday night.

I chatted with Michael online Saturday night. He was studying and finishing up Season 4 of Buffy. He's visiting his dad today, and has to leave around 8am. Ick.
Later I tracked down 2 3rd Doctor stories I needed; now I'm left with only 12 classic Who serials that are complete, but not available for me to view. That's pretty impressive for anyone to say, but considering I hadn't seen Doctor Who a little over a year ago, that's pretty amazing. ;-0) No real Doctor Who news today though, which sucks. :-0(
I put up some stickers on my wall. I never took that nap I was craving and will probably soon be asleep. I work tonight & Friday. I might go to Necto Monday night, but it will have to be without Michael if I do go as he has finals on Tuesday.
I exchanged some e-mails with Carrie Knauss yesterday. We miss each other, and might hang out soon.
Yeah. I should sleep.

I was early to work Sunday night, but I the drive was slippery, and I impacted the curb. The curb didn't make it, and the car has some damage, but according to Mark it's not that bad. Work was mostly slow. I worked with John, Laura & Bill. Meg stopped in. I guess that Brenda was in on Saturday and yelled at Bryan; she wrote up DJ, and DJ has to write up Pat, who won't know this for awhile as he's on vacation. Erg. The corporate side of my work sucks. The thing about our DM, is that she has like zero people skills, and her managment skills (on every level) are compromised by this inability to work with people. I don't think she's ever worked at a Hollywood Video. She just came in to manage, but has no clue what she's doing. Our last DM, was fantastic. She'd actually worked at our store before, so when she came in to see us, she KNEW what had to be done, and the troubles we faced, and all of that stuff - and she actually worked while she was with us, and didn't talk down to us. It was nice. I wish we had more like her...but sadly, we really don't.
Michael stopped in to see me just before I went on break. It was good to see him. ;-0)
After work I came home instead of going shopping, because I forgot my coupons, and I also needed to get Mollie's stuff ready to ship out, so I'd know what kind of package I had to buy for her. When I got home there was a jeep parked in our space. I let Mark know and he called to have it towed, but it turned out our neighbor had just parked in the wrong spot on accident so it was all taken care of. By the time that was taken care of I was exhausted. Mark gave me a package to send Mollie's stuff in. I was still going to go grocery shopping, but then as I continued working on Mollie's package, I lost all will to leave the condo. I'm so tired.
I'm sending Mollie more tv shows. She doesn't get her shows where she lives, so I burn them for her. I'm sending her 20 episodes total from 4 different shows; Heroes, Drawn Together, Nip/Tuck & Desperate Housewives. I'm also sending her the last 4 issues of Buffy Season 8, and some Doctor Who related cds. I'll have that ready to go in about an hour I'd guess - then I'm going to collapse. Mark has to go to the post office in the morning so he'll ship it out for me. Then he can stop at the bank for me on his way home, and I can get groceries then. Blah. Tired.

Mark mailed Mollie's tv shows Monday morning after I passed out. Much of the day was a blur. I spoke to Michael briefly. I had hoped to see him, but those plans fell through. I went to Necto, but didn't dance as much as I expected to, as I spent a good chunk of time chatting with Charlie, Billy, Jimmy & Jess. When I did dance (and chat) I had a blast though. I talked to Michael afterward...went home, and passed out for a half hour. Then chatted with Michael online, and watched Buffy.
Tuesday I slept. After Mark got home from work we went grocery shopping. I talked to Michael on the phone. And later when we got home, I had a snack and took a nap. Later I chatted on gay.com for the first time in months. Corey was online, and congratulated me on my new boyfriend. He said he'd been reading my blog. He's been depressed the last few months; broke and lonely. That sucks. Corey is one of the most awesome boys I've ever dated. I have nothing but good things to say about him, and he deserves to be happy! He also talked about wanting a 3some with me & Michael, which...while verging on a list of impossible things...gave me a hardon. ;-0)
I eventually left the internet behind for food and Star Trek: Voyager. I'm on mid-season 3 now. Later still, I came up to my room to write this, and got a call from Michael in the process. He stayed at a hospital tonight for a sleep study. We're planning on hanging out later tonight.
And in more geeky news, The Sarah Jane Adventures has apparently been renewed for a 2nd Season, which means we'll be getting more Whoniverse episodes next year, which is always good news for me. ;-0)

Whoa. How did nearly a week go by without me updating my blog? Now I have no idea what went on. lol Um...I worked on Friday & Sunday. There was a blizzard. I talked to Mollie a bunch of times on the phone. I didn't see much of Michael, as he was away for the weekend. I updated different bits of my webpage. Random stuff. All lost to time now I suppose.
I'll probably hang out with Michael later today. I'm guessing LATE today, as I can't seem to sleep...and by the time I drift off, he might just be getting up. Oh well. I've been chatting randomly with Corey and other peeps. Life is mostly good.
I have a sty. Not happy about that, but it's not unexpected.
The Doctor Who Christmas Special airs in just over a week's time! ;-) I'm very excited about that. Not just for the episode itself, but also the preview at the end for Season 4 - which if it's like last year's Christmas Special, will give us sneek peaks of the first 7 or 8 episodes of next season - so bits of Donna & Martha, Sontarans & stuff. Yay! ;-0) Torchwood Season 2 starts airing 4 weeks from tomorrow night!
I'm going to watch some Star Trek: Voyager now. I'm achingly tired, so I shouldn't eat...but I'm achingly hungry too. I'll just try a light snack. Compromises are generally the best solutions.
Oh. And revenge is sweet. Mark showed me how people link to pictures on my webpage, which was interesting. But one of them was a picture of me, that was then in this person's blog, in which he said my names was Boba, and that this picture was taken of Boba after they had made up!?! But since the picture had been hosted by my site, I altered a bit of Het Fan Art of Boba Fett to fit the entry, and it now shows up in his blog where my picture was. Be warned; the pictures is graphic, and you'll have to scroll down to see it, but remember this person put a picture of me in this spot before (and that was over a year ago; my pic has been sitting there without my permission...out of context for over a year). Click Here to see my vengeance. ;-0)
Speaking of Mark. Wednesday marks 12 years since the night we met. Crazy, huh?

I'm awake. Barely. And the headache I hoped to leave behind with sleep is still with me. I feel like I have a hangover, and I haven't had even a sip of alcohol in over a week. Maybe that was delayed hangover whiskey?
So I tried to watch Voyager before bed. I've slogging through Season 3, which has moments of horrific writing, while most episodes seem really good, but are nothing at all when compared to average episodes of other Treks. One of the exceptions to this crappy season, is the finale episode, "Scorpion, Part I", which I loved when it aired, and continue to enjoy...only I can't. I finally made it to this episode, but it stopped half way through and I was shocked to find a big scratch on the disc! I've loaned these discs out to dozens of people, and I don't even remember who the last person was. This was before I implemented my non-lending policy for similar problems. Now I only rarely lend things out, and it's always with the fear at the back of my mind that I'm going to be screwed over. I hope the machine at work can fix my disc because I'm not paying for another season of Voyager.
So...to amuse myself, I watched clips of Sarah Silverman on Youtube. I've never really seen her stuff before, though I've been aware of her for years. She actually appeared in two 'ok' episodes of Voyager's 3rd Season and because of my memory for all things Trek, I've remembered her in everthing I've seen her in since then, as that girl Rain from those Voyager episodes. I noticed her in "School of Rock" & "Rent". Anyways, some of her stuff was really funny. Then I watched the Pamela Anderson Roast, which amused me to no end, watching people be so blatantly rude to Courtney Love. ;-0)
I didn't get to sleep until about 11am at the earliest. I should have known I was going to have trouble sleeping this week, as this last Saturday I slept beautifully, and that's a rare thing for me that's balanced out by really crappy sleep paterns for weeks afterward. Blah. Oh Well.
I just read that Peter Jackson & Fran Walsh will be producing the new Hobbit movies! That's very good news! Producers do so much to make a movie a success, and I feel their knowledge of these books will make them invaluable resources to the production. I hope they're writing it as well though. I don't mind at all that they aren't directing them per say. It's been said that one of the movies will closely follow The Hobbit, while the other film will combine lore from the books to bridge The Hobbit with the other LOTR's movies, which could be fantastic!
In other movie news, Ewan McGregor (who is one of my 2 celebrity crushes) has signed on with Jim Carrey to star in "I Love You Phillip Morris" about real life partners who met in prison: Steven Russell & Phillip Morris. I love Ewan because he's hot, he can sing, he's not afraid of full frontal nudity, and he has no qualms about playing gay characters...at all. We need more like him. 10 of him would be great. And I'm not just being selfish; I'd share them.
1 more item. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, the sequel to Alien vs. Predator, and prequel to the Alien movies, opens next week on Christmas day if I'm not mistaken. The movie looks like a lot of fun. Anyone avoiding this one because they had a bad experience with the first (which I actually enjoyed) will most likely enjoy this one a lot more. I've heard this one wrapps up the Earth based stories of the Predator sequence (Predator, Predator 2, AVP's 1 & 2) and that it sets up a space saga that could bridge the gap between the new film and the first Alien feature. Sounds cool. I'd love it if they did that, and then did future sequels set between the Alien movies, and helped set up a grand finale in an Alien 5. But I'm a big sci-fi geek who doesn't know any better. lol. There's a new international trailer for the new film, but be warned that the spots with subtitles are not in english, but you still get to see some new shots from the film. Overseas the film is apparently known as AVP2, while in the states it's referred to as AVP: R. Check It Out.
I'm supposed to hang out with Michael today...though it looks like LATE today will have to suffice. But in order to do that...this pain has to go away...pronto. And more sleep would probably help, so I'm going to attempt that. Wish me luck. :-0)

I didn't hang out with Michael. I ate. I took several hot showers. I took pain killer. And I fell asleep on the couch. Michael was cool with this though, so that was cool. But we miss each other. We're going to try again on Thursday.
After midnight, Mark gave me an anniversary card and gift. Today marks 12 years since we met. This is also the anniversary for many films that we saw in theaters together, as that's how we used to spend the day, before we started avoiding the theater. We've seen "William Shakespear's Romeo & Juliet", "Scream 2", "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Lord of the Rings: "The Two Towers", "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" (actually that one was like the day after, because it opened slightly later than the others - but still) - & "King Kong" - there are probably more, I just don't remember them. lol Anyways - he gave me a sweet card, despite the card depicting us as cats (ick), and a Doctor Who shirt that features the TARDIS, below which it reads: "You Never Forget Your First Doctor"!!! Then he also gave me a toy set of a Sonic Screwdriver with some Psychic Paper! I'm so geeked about these things - he did very well. lol.
I had a terrible time getting to sleep last night, and the headache that's been stalking me returned. I did eventually get some sleep though, for which I'm grateful. I have to get ready for work now, but so far my day has gone well. Besides chatting with Michael, and Corey - and getting Mark hugs and Doctor Who swag, I've made tentative plans with Chris to watch Torchwood on Saturday, and I just saw the trailer for Torchwood Season 2!!!
Now I'm off.

Work was fun for awhile, but by the end of my shift my stalker headache had returned, and my back hurt too. I showed off my Sonic Screwdriver and Psychic Paper, and tried to get let out early, but ended up working over instead. lol Oh well. I stopped at Kroger to get a few things; got a flu shot, and then came home. I was supposed to bring home some pizza for Mark and me, but I was just too overwhelmed. I thought I might sit down and cry, actually. There's nothing wrong exactly, but this headache is slowly kicking my ass, and the meds they've given me don't do shit. And when you have that kind of constant pain, it makes every little thing seem far worse than it actually is. I don't think it's from stress, because I don't think I have much stress at the moment. It's just....ugh.
Instead of crying I rewatched the trailers for Torchwood Season 2 & the Doctor Who Christmas Special, which cheered me up a bit. Then I showered with Mark, who left to get his pizza. Now I'm gonna call Michael, who texted me earlier wondering when I worked, only I was already at work when sent the text, and could reply while I was there. Blah. Anyways... 6 Days Until Christmas Who ;-0) 28 Days Until Torchwood 2 ;-0)

Wednesday night, Mark & I watched "The Simpsons Movie" & "Stardust", both of which we enjoyed. Wendy had told me ages ago that she enjoyed the latter title, and Bryan at work swore by it - so I made sure to watch it. I'll be putting it on my top shelf at work tomorrow; it's good to update them now and again. :-0)
Thursday was all about finding time to see Michael. I saw him late in the day, but I only slept so much so I'd be rested when I saw him, and I went through lots of preperations to make things nice...and it was. My tummy was a little upset at the end of the night, but I think I'm fine now. We're planning on going to a party tonight, that his friends are throwing, so I can meet them.
Thursday morning, I spoke to Janice on the phone briefly; I guess our father wants to hang out with us sometime soon. I have to call her back today with ideas of when is best - so I'll check my schedule at work to see. It would be nice to see him and Janice and the kids actually, though I'll be seeing many relatives on Monday when I go to Grandma's. :-0)
26 Days until Torchwood Season 2. 4 days until the Doctor Who Christmas Special. :-)
I haven't heard from Chris, but hopefully she & Bryan will be visiting on Saturday to start Torchwood Season 1 / Doctor Who Season 3! Yay!

I slept until about noon, then got ready for work, and off I went. I dropped Mark off at work, then hurried to Hollywood. There were more people working there than we ended up needing, but nobody got sent home as far as I know, and it was a lot fun. The sty in my eye hurt pretty bad, and I had other issues, but I made the most of it, and had a really great time at work. Bryan & Chris (and possibly Robert) are all up for Torchwood tomorrow, so that's cool. I just have to let them know a time. :-0)
Oh, and I updated my Top 12 (now my Top 16) movie shelf at work. It now contains: Stardust, Ravenous, Henry & June, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, The Pillow Book, Stage Beauty, Chasing Amy, Mysterious Skin, Confessions of an American Girl, RENT, Tombstone, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone, Shadow Boxer, To Gillian on her 37th Birthday, & a title that I'm forgetting at the moment. lol I'm happy with the updates.
After work, I picked up Mark and called my sister about when we can hang out with our father. We're doing that a week from Wednesday, at our Grandmother's house. They usually come over here, but the kids love my bedroom, but I currently have naked peeps on my walls and ceiling, which my sister is unhappy about. They're not fucking. They're just naked. There's this group of guys playing football. I think you can see 1 penis if you tried. There's a girl with her breasts bared, but she has clay on them (or something) - accenting her eyes - which are stunning. I don't see the big deal. Nudity isn't bad, and I don't think it should (or would) scar kids to see it. But maybe I'm just crazy. Anyways - besides that, all was well.
I called Michael to say hey, and let him know that I was going to sleep when I got home. I did exactly that, and I just woke up and wrote this while I took my prilosec. Now I have to call Michael so he can come over. We're going to a party that some of his friends are holding. Hopefully it's fun. We probably won't stay that late. We'll see. Anyways...I'm off.

Michael picked me up for the party last night, and then we dropped his friend Erica off before getting gas, pain killer & juice (my stalker headache that would have been killed by maybe 3 midrin is still with me), and then went to Meijer for cranberry juice and vodka. We went to Luna & Rob's place. I actuly met Luna many years ago at Necto and City Club. I'd also met Rob at least once, and some of her other friends, who were there. I'd met Mike's other friend Tree at Necto...so I pretty much knew everyone, having met many of them years before I ever met Michael. I stayed away from the alcohol like a good boy...I did smoke a bowl though, which was nice. I brought a mashup cd for Luna with some Prince mashups on it (she loves Prince) and she really enjoyed the Prince tracks, so that was cool. Lots of fun hanging out and conversation, but eventually I started getting tired. It was also nice that I got along with Mike's friends; it would have been ok if I didn't, but it's easier this way. Mike drove me home; he offered to come in and hang out, but I really just want to sleep, and I need to do just that so that I can be awake when Chris, Bryan (and possibly Robert) are here. ;-0)
As soon as I got home, I messaged Chris, letting her know to call me as soon as they're all up and ready to hang out. I wrote this. And now I must sleep.

After I woke up on Saturday, I clean my room, and the livingroom. I got in touch with Chris. I ate, and they ate, and then they came over. We watched the first 3 episodes of Torchwood, which Chris liked. I think Bryan enjoyed it too. Chris was making all kinds of connections with Doctor Who stuff, and Bryan was asking questions. Chris asked questions too; all good questions. And Chris pointed out that she might be enjoying Torchwood more than I did the first time because she had all the backstory when she started it, while Bryan & I were flying blind. But then when Jack revealed his...new state of life, Chris was all getting it, and I pointed out that when I saw Who and his status changed, I understood the importance of it while she did not. So...seeing it with Chris made me think about the different ways people view the shows when viewed in differen orders. It amused me.
During the last episode my headache came back stronger than ever. They left soon after; knowing I had a headache, they were thoughtful and left me to darkness. I managed to sleep a bit. I forgot how often I used to spend just laying in a dark room when I was a kid. The suffering in the dark hasn't changed at all. I need my old meds back...or something similar because the drugs I have now hardly take the edge of the pain.
Later, when I woke up and the pain was still with me I figured I'd go get some of my pain pills filled, and try to get rid of it with my drugs...only the pharmacy was closed at Meijer, and the Walgreens no longer had my perscription. It sucked in all kinds of ways. I took some more Motrin, and a hot bath. Eventually, the pain subsided. It's still there though, and I'm sure it will be back. :-0(
Later still, I sent some e-mails, and watched some Buffy. Sean Mobely had sent me a myspace message telling me he loves the Buffy Musical now. There's a lot of that going around. lol. He's trying to get his life back on track, and I hope he succeeds. I'd really like to see him again someday...catch up. Actually, I really want to give him a big hug. ;-0)
I saw that Michael was on yahoo. I went to use the bathroom, and when I got back, his messanger said he was asleep. I left him some messages; watched some more Buffy and then wrote this. I should really be reading...
I work tonight. I'm going to Grandma's on Monday. Probably after picking up Mark from work. Michael might be coming too. Tuesday I work. And hopefully I get to watch the new Doctor Who. Wednesday I have off, and I don't have any plans for that day yet. I work Thursday & Friday. Saturday I have off. A week from Monday is New Year's Eve. I don't usually go out, but I'm wondering if they'll still have goth night at Necto? Hmmm.
Anyways...I'm off. I think I might work on the walls of my room.

Still awake. The headache is back. I'm torn about my room. I want it to be Sister / Sister's Kids friendly, but I think censorship is evil. Like...I don't want those parts covered up. I don't have pictures of people fucking. I don't have pictures of people being murdered. I don't have centerfolds. I have these artsy pretty naked peeps. And I'm not talking genitals here. It's just...I'm torn.
But not about the headache. I really hate the headache. I want to go to the pharmacy before I got to work, but I need to sleep if I can. I'm very unthrilled.
2 Days Until Doctor Who. :-0)

I just preordered Saw IV. It comes out January 22, 2008; the same day Torchwood Season 1 comes out on DVD, & just under a month from now. 23 days until Torchwood Season 2 begins.
Here's some info on the medication I used to take for my migrains - try here and here. I definitely have to get more Midrin, or at least get something other than I'm taking. I'm taking too many pain pills. I just want one that will take care of the headache, and let me be. Ugh.

Woke up about 20 minutes ago. I showered and shaved in a hurry; thinking I'd go to the pharmacy and get my drugs - only the Meijer pharmacy closed at 5pm. The pharmacy I usually go to is open until 10pm, which is why I was a bit confused, and now disappointed and pissed off. The pharmaccy I usually go to used to be open all night, which is why I liked it, and I was slowly gonna stop going there, and switch to Meijer, but now I'm thinking that's not such a good idea.
Fuck. My head hurts.
Well, since I don't have to go anywhere before work, I guess I should get something to eat.

I was on time for work. There were a lot of people scheduled today, as it's often very busy the day before Christmas Eve. There was all kinds of drama with the computers, and we actually closed the store until it was fixed, and that was just when I arrived! Most of the night was cool though. I worked with Bill, Laura, Brad & Alex. John stopped in later, and I got to talk to DJ as well. Michael came in to visit me on my lunch. It was all good.
After work, I went to the bank, and then Kroger where I picked up a few groceries, but spent most of my grocery money on stuff for other people. I got Mark a card and some plush penguins for a sort of late anniversary gift. I got Michael a card and some flowers. When I got home Mark was waiting to let me in, so he kind of spoiled his own suprise, but he liked the gifts just the same. I called Michael, and he came over so he could copy nearly all my Doctor Who / Torchwood, and even some Sarah Jane - we hung out and had THE SEX while that was happening. Then he was off.
I had a shake, and a snack. I played a game. I sent Chris a message in response to a voicemail; she likes Martha Jones; I'm glad she likes Martha Jones. That's that. Then I wrote this. I want to read my Voyager book, which I still haven't finished. I need to get that done by New Year's.
Life is good.
I have to drive Mark to work today, and run some errands. I need to get some more groceries, and get some perscriptions filled. I'd like to look for some more Doctor Who themed mags, or at least find some cool pictures for my room. And I'll need to sleep as well.
Michael will be here around 4:30pm, then he'll follow me when I go pick up Mark from work. Then we'll all go to my gradma's house for Christmas stuff. Then Michael will leave early for his mom's place. And Mark & I will go home. ;-0) Sounds like a plan.

Ok. I didn't feel like reading after all. I've starting watching the old Doctor Who stories that I sent copies of to Mollie, so that we can discuss them. I'm starting with "Four To Doomsday", which is the earliest story that I've sent her, and the next story I was to watch anyways; I'd watched the previous 3 serials several months ago, which featured the regeneration of the 4th Doctor into the 5th. So far I'm enjoying this one. The set design and special effects are rather impressive for it's time, and the storyline is fine so far. I already hate the Doctor's companion known as Teagan, whom Mollie dislikes as well. He also travels with a girl named Nyssa, whom I like, and a boy named Adric who is sometimes annoying, and other times just odd. I'll try to stay up with the episodes.
I'm tired, but I have to drive Mark to work in about an hour, and go to the pharmacy. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep later.

I got Mark out of bed with very little fuss, which I didn't expect since he hadn't slept much. We both got ready quickly, and I got him to work just about on time (while also stopping at McDonalds so he could have some breakfast). I went to Meijer and dropped off some prescriptions, bought some random things that only Meijer carries, plus a yellow x-mas themed sheet cake to take to my Gradma's. I went home after my prescriptions were filled, and watched a bit of Doctor Who before I went to bed. I slept well, though only about 4 hours.
When I woke up I felt rested. I got ready. Michael called and said he was being delayed, and just got directions from me, so that he could meet Mark & I at Grandma's. I thought I was running a bit late, but we arrived on time; slightly early even, though Michael arrived just before us.
So many cousins in such a small place! It was actually quite a bit of fun. The only blights on the occasion being Doug (my non-biological Father) not being there, and Jamie still being wenchy to me. Jamie's fiance Paul only said a few things to me, but it was still more than what he's said in the past, and it was appreciated. I mostly chatted with the Whites & former Whites. lol That's their sir name. Their family is kind of the most healthy of our bunch, and they've always been very welcoming to me, so it's always great to see them. People joked about me bringing in a new Mike, as we have several of those already. It was all in good fun.
Mike had to leave early to get to his mom's. We were there for maybe another hour, but everyone was clearing out fairly soon. It was great to see everyone, but I was tired, and it was nice when we got home. I very nearly went right to bed, and slept until about 12:30am Christmas Day. I called Mike as he'd left some voicemails on my phone letting me know he made it back ok. I called Mollie and wished her a Happy X-Mas. I know she had to work tonight, so I didn't really expect her to answer. Then I checked my e-mail, and started some snacks. When I'm done with this entry I'm either going to watch some old Doctor Who, or read some of my book.
I have to work today. I can dress casual today, and I bought some tinsle to wear around my neck. I work 1pm-5:30pm. It's possible that Chris will be coming back tonight to watch more Torchwood & the animated Who, but that hasn't been confirmed. I will be trying to find today's Doctor Who Christmas Special online once I get home, though it's possible that it won't be posted right away. We'll see. ;-0)

I got some reading done; I'm now over half way finished with my Voyager book. I also updated tons of stuff on my webpage. I updated Doctor Who & Torchwood news. I trimmed some fat from the old galleries, and my sexuality page, while doing updates on all manor of things that I've managed to overlook in the last year or so. I feel accomplished. ;-0)
I'm tired. I should get some sleep before work.

I slept a few hours before work; actually slept over, having accidentally unplugged my alarm clock when hitting the snooze button. It was dead at the store though, and I made up my time by not taking my lunch. It wasn't like anyplace was open to feed me anyways. I worked with Pat, Alex, Meg & Laura. It was mostly fun, with 1 exception being a customer who freaked out when his membership card didn't work and I asked him for his ID instead to help me open his account - he told me he was getting a coupon from the car, and then drove away instead. Maybe he had an emergency? It was odd.
When I got home from work I checked to see if the new Who was posted yet, but it wasn't. I did find the new Who & Torchwood Trailers + the audiofiles for the first 3 Torchwood novels. I went to sleep. When I woke up around 10pm, I tracked down the Christmas Special and the Confidential episode that goes with it. They're downloading right now.
I might crawl back into bed. I might eat. I might sleep until this is done, then watch it with Mark and eat then. I might do a lot of things I guess.

I didn't sleep after the last entry. I returned a call to Michael and got his voicemail. I left Mollie a voicemail as well, and hopped in the shower. Then I talked to Michael on the phone. A bit later, Mark & I watched this year's Doctor Who Christmas Special, which was pretty much what I expected. I've never loved a Christmas Special from this series, though they've all grown on me in time, and this had much Doctor Who goodness to tide me over until Torchwood Season 2 - except that I'm already restless and want it now. lol
Later, I burned a copy for Pat & Cara. I'll do the same for Corey, Mollie & Jean. Michael will copy it from my hard drive. I will share the Doctor Who Wealth. And next year (probably around November) I will buy the dvds when they're released ;-0)
Later still I talked to Michael on the phone again and then took a bath. I read more of my Voyager book, which I'm finally getting into again, after a stretch where I just wanted to put it back on the shelf and pretend that I'd finished it. lol And then I nodded off for a bit.
I woke up around 7am. Not sure what time I fell asleep. I have today off. I just checked to see if Mike's awake, but his yahoo messenger says that he isn't. I read the news. It looks like that Doctor Who Special probably broke ratings records, and is the highest rated episode since it started back up in 2005! Nice. It probably didn't hurt that Kylie Minogue was in it, as she's huge over there. ;-0)

After Mark left for work, I rewatched the Christmas Special; picking up all sorts that I'd missed before. I enjoyed it a lot more the 2nd time around. The first time I'm always so excited that I'm actually watching it that I miss all kinds of stuff. lol.
After the special, I got in touch with Mollie and we talked about all sorts of things for about an hour, but we let each other go. Now I'm contemplating a nap.
Torchwood Season 2 begins 3 weeks from today! Just 21 more days, and then we'll most likely have a new episode of the Whoniverse from January-July :-0)

Wenesday night was hell. My headache meds upset my stomach, and I couldn't keep them down. So I had a horrible headache, and I could sleep. I did however get a lot of work done on my bedroom. It's coming along very nicely. I also started changing the way I do things to keep it nephew & niece friendly - covered up any genitals that were on display and female nipples. I figure that photos of statues can stay, because to cover them up seems overly silly. I figure butts are ok - because we all have them and everyone knows what one is - so no confusion there. There are no erections or sex pictures. There are men & women who are, despite the way I've edited them, obviously nude, but they're just being nude people, which is healthy. Anyways - that's my interpretation. Hopefully my big sis will agree.
I wanted to call in on Thursday but my headache, starvation and sleep deprivation prevented that. It was dead at work though, so they eventually let me go home around 3:30pm. I slept for about 4 hours, then picked up Mark from work (after a side trip to get more poster tape and cd/dvd mailers). Mark stopped Meijer but I was so exhausted that I stayed in the car. When we got home I went to bed.
I woke up around 1am I think. I sent Michael a message on yahoo, then returned one of his calls, but I missed him both times. He's trying to sleep at night I guess, so I didn't pursue it, as I figured he needed his rest. But I miss him.
My headache was still with me, but it was tolerable, so I just let it linger. I started burning dvds of the Doctor Who Christmas Special, plus extras for a few friends that need it. Then I started doing laundry, and picking up a bit in my room...but the headache got worse. I took the painkiller and a hot shower which dulled the pain but didn't bury it. I worked on my room while I continued with the dvds and laundry.
I'm done with the dvds now. I'm mostly done with the laundry. I've accomplished all I wanted to do with my walls. I think they're good to go for now. I need to get some sleep before work. Hopefully the headache will be gone when I get up so that work will be fun again.
Oh. I need to see about hanging out with Carrie. And Chris. And Michael. I'm so distracted lately. The headaches are really wearing on me. I haven't had to put up with them like this since I was a Freshman in High School; I kind of thought my mind had exaggerated the pain from back then, but it turns out it was all too acurate, and I'm not used to dealing with them anymore. Blah.

So I've started downloading Battlestar Galactica, Season 3. I thought I could give a copy to DJ. DJ told me yesterday that if I started watching Battlestar Galactica he would watch Doctor Who. I was already planning on watching Battlestar, but I was going to wait until I knew the final episodes were going to air in 2008, which seems unlikely now. The dvds for Season 3 haven't even been released yet, and even when they are, the webisodes that take place between seasons 2 & 3 won't be included. But I've got a little over 2 weeks between now & the start of Torchwood, and I can't watch Classic Who the way I planned, as I've misplaced the disc I was on, and now have to wait on Mollie to send me her copy.
I tried to sleep, but each of the 3 times I started falling asleep, Mark woke me up. The first time he woke me up to ask if I was dowloading something, after I'd just gone and talked to him about how I was downloading Battlestar. It pissed me off so much that I didn't think I'd get back to sleep. Then when I finally did drift off, he knocked on my door again and opened it, but seeing that I was in bed again with the lights off he closed the door. He has an appointment today and I thought he was leaving...but then as I was drifting off again I heard a noise, and thought someone was in the condo...and when I got up to see what it was...it was Mark who hadn't left yet...so I give up. If I sleep now, I won't have time to eat and get ready for work.
So...I'm gonna eat and get ready now. I might even start watching Battlestar Galactica so I can let DJ know I've started it at work so I can wrangle him into Doctor Who. Then after work I can sleep. Mark will be going to visit him Dad, Brother & Nephew after he drops me off, and Michael will be at another sleep study, so I can put in my earplugs and sleep until I'm all rested. I have 150 pages left in my voyager book that I need to finish reading before Tuesday. And I have 3 seasons of Battlestar Galactica (plus a series of webisodes - and a dvd I'm sure I'll purchase) to watch before Wednesday, January 16th...so I'm staying in tonight.
It's possible I'll hang out with Carrie (who's a Battlestar Galactica fan) tomorrow. Or it's possible that I'll hang out with Chrs and watch some more Torchwood. Or it's possible I'll see Michael. Or it's possible I'll see all three, or none of the above. I'll just have to ride it out and see. ;-0)

Work went well yesterday. After work, Mark dropped me off at home and then headed to his dad's place in Dundee to visit with his family. I started watching "Resident Evil: Extinction" but was drifting off within 10 minutes of starting it, so I stopped it and slept for several hours. When I woke up, I finished the movie, which I thought was ok; slightly less enjoyable than the 2nd one (which grew on me, though I hated in theaters), with the first one remaining my favorite. It seemed to provide some closure on several fronts, but I'd prefer that they make a 4th film that wraps it up with a big bow with the style of the first film, and all the known characters returning - but that's probably just a pipe dream. I'd follow Milla anywhere though.
Mark got home about 2:30am, just as the movie finished. I'd just sent him a text message to find out if he was ok, as I'd realized he'd been gone far longer than I had expected, but he was fine. He asked me how the movies was, and gave me a gift from his dad, to the both of us. It was a set of blankets. I don't think his dad has ever given me a gift before, so that was unexpected. His mom is visiting some time today.
After Mark went to bed, I started watching Battlestar Galactica. I watched the first 4 episodes (which is what originally aired as the mini-series that spawned the series proper), and then the 5th episode. I like the story. The space stuff looks cool, but I find myself feeling a bit distant and bored during much of the space battle stuff. I love the actors though, and I think the entire cast pulls their own weight. I really enjoy the writing for the program, which I never doubted that I would - it's done by Ron Moore who was one of the guiding voices on DS9, which is the best Trek in my opinion. I always got the sense that the writers for DS9 were constantly pushing for darker, edgier choices, and were constantly at war with the studio for their vision, and were only partly allowed to achieve it with DS9. Here I get the sense that Ron's finally been allowed to run free. I could be completely crazy though. It just seems like the show makes some wonderfully unexpected, dark choices, that really give the situation the bleakness that is required. I'll let you know how I feel about the rest of the series as I watch it, as I now have access to every episode (and webisode) that's been released thus far.
I never got around to reading my Trek book, which I may do for a bit while I have a snack. I need to call Michael and check in with him. I need to talk to Mark to see if he needs the car today, and talk to Carrie about a possible visit. I haven't spoken to Chris, but I'm think she still has company over; she had a friend in from town this week. I feel like I could take a nap.
I have today off. I close the store tomorrow, and I suspect it will be busy. I have Monday-Wednesday off, which I plan to enjoy. I have a Doctor's appointment on Thursday to switch my migrain meds (hopefully), and then I go into work. I work on Friday, and I have Saturday off.
I got 3 unexpected text messages this morning. 1 was from Jeremy Merklinger, and was one of those generic happy holidays things, but I haven't heard from him in months so that was a shock seeing his name on my phone. Then I also got a text from Travis Kelley who mentined that John Barrowman was in "The Producers" (which I already knew), and that having seen Captain Jack in anything made him think of me. He reads my blog, so I know he knows about me going on and on about Doctor Who & Torchwood - but now I'm wondering if he watches too? hmm.
Sleepy.
I was going to have a snack, but maybe I should do the sleeping thing first. It's a toss up at the moment.

I had a snack and watched some more BSG. Later I slept. I woke up around 7:30pm. My stomach has been a bit upset the last few days. I've been trying to keep my spirits up and not complain about it, but it's starting to wear me down again. At least I didn't have to work today; I enjoy my job, but when my stomach is all knotted up it's hell. I was supposed to see Carrie today, and I wanted to see Michael, but both are probably off the menue now. I'm burning the first disc of season 3 BSG for Carrie as a peace offering, and to make sure she knows that I didn't just write her off.
I've seen the first 8 episodes of BSG and I'm hooked for sure now. I'm glad the show is ending in it's 4th Season, as I'd hate for the show to drag on and start sucking, and I also like knowing that an end is near. I actually wish I could say that about many things.
I miss the 5th Doctor story that I was watching earlier this week. It's not that Classic Who is fantastic - but it sticks in your brain...and I miss it. :-0( Ah Well. Mollie is gonna help me out and send me her copy, but only after I send her some stuff, which I'll be sending Wednesday at the earlist. I'm planning on watching all available BSG before Torchwood begins (in 18 days) and then I'll most likely have the disc and continue where I've left off.

My stomach really hates me. Actually, all my insides hate me at the moment; they want me to suffer and die. I think I might have a fever, because I'm cold, and I'm in my room (which is always warm) and the heat is on, and my vent is open. I was just feverishly sick like a month or two ago, and I usually only get that way once a year, if that - so this is unusual for me. Blah.

Ooh. I'm not sick. I'm just kind of insane! I started back on my meds for my tummy, and they make you feel like you're crawling out of your own skin, and can turn you into a raging bitch for the first week or two; they also have the wonderful side effect of making you almost impossible to cum. It's just not a great experience, but they do help eventually. So...that's kind of a relief; I just feel bad for anyone who encounters me.

I finished disc 3 of Battlestar, so I've now seen the first 12 episodes, and have only 5 left in Season 1. I'm gonna take a break from the show now, much as I'd like to continue, so I can get my Trek book read. I still feel sick to my stomach, and agitated, but I've been through this once before and I know it will get better.

I should be at work; I got out of bed ontime, thanks to Mark. But I still feel all weird, and now I'm dehydrated as well. Mark's mom was here while I was asleep, and left me a little gift basket with a stuffed snowman, a $10.00 Target Gift Card, $30 cash and a box full of candy. There were sweet tarts and candy coated kisses. I can't have the latter, but I had 3 of of the former...a half hour later while I was shaving they started coming back up. I'm back to being sick again, and I really don't want to bitch about it. I've really been sick for days, but have avoided talking about it. I just took more pills though, and hopefully they'll stay down. I have to wait and see before I can go to work. Actually, my new pills say I shouldn't drive, so I might have to have Mark take me in.
I read my book before I slept; I have less than 100 pages left now, which is good, as I want to finish it after I get home from work. Mark is going to watch the first episodes of Battlestar while I'm at work. He watched the 3rd Resident Evil movie, and I think we had the same opinion of the movie.
I want to go to Steven Ball's New Year's Ever party tomorrow night, but I'm worried that I'll be ill. I wish I could describe how these new pills make me feel, but... I start something, and then I'm sick of it right away. And I get agitated really easy. And I feel feverish for a bit... and then... that goes away after a week or 2. I've been through this before, so I know. I just... I think I'm slightly insane anyways. Like...I have this really amazing memory for stuff that happened years ago, but if it's somewhere I left my keys then I'm screwed. And if I have to remember something important about my body or something relating to my health - it's like it gets blocked out and I just feel stupid.
I'm not sure if my stomach is settled or not, but I need to slowly attempt to get my shoes on.

Mark drove me to and from work. Work was mostly ok, though there were moments of lines filled with annoying groups of people. I didn't take a break. I went to the bank and the grocery store after work. And we just got home.

I went to sleep shortly after the last entry, and woke up around 4:30am I think. I read more of my Voyager book; have abut 60 pages left. I chatted with Michael online, then got something to drink. I'm going to finish the Voyager book now if I can.
I have today off. I might go to a few parties tonight, though the thought of driving around town on New Year's Eve, with all the drunks doesn't really appeal to me. I'll probably watch some more Battlestar later; possibly finish off the first season if I can.
I got an e-mail from my Aunt Debbie the other day. She's the one aunt on my father's side that I feel any kind of real bond with. The others are nice, but they feel like strangers...while Debbie feels like family. I'm not sure why that is. She wants to hang out. I was thinking maybe I'd invite her to come over on Wednesday, as my dad and sister are visiting. I'm not sure that would be a great day though. We'll see.

I talked to Janice this morning, and we're bringing our father here for the visit. Cool. And I talked to Aunt Debbie this morning as well. She can't make it on Wednesday because of work, but it was a nice conversation. She told met that the pictures of dad & me on my website made her cry when she saw them. She gave me news of my other aunts, and my grandmother. Janice & I later talked again about all this news, and I realized that I don't love our grandmother on our father's side. I don't hate her or anything, but she's never pursued a relationship with us, and for that I think she's kind of bitch. She treats my dad really well though, for which I'm grateful. She's family in name only though. Which is strange and sad.
I have this urge to watch the 4 Alien movies, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. I'd like to watch the extended cuts on the widescreen tv; I prefer the extended cuts of each film, though the 3rd one is a bit of a mess. Hopefully someday they'll pick up the pieces of that film and put them together so they make sense.

I woke up a little while ago. I feel kind of drained. Mark is watching Battlestar Galactica. I never got around to watching it myself today; that's ok. If I watch 3 episodes a day, every day between now and the day Torchwood starts up again I'll be done with all that's been released so far. Though something tells me I'll watch more than 3 on at least 1 of those days, and probably none on others. I'll make it work.
I should get ready. I should.
