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.
