After the last entry, Wendy went to get food, I took a bath, and then read and slept. Wendy ended up hooking up with one of her friends. She woke me up when she got home around 11pm, but finding me in bed, she went to bed herself. I couldn't get back to sleep, and found that my phone was blinking with a new message from Michael saying he was going bowling. My stomach felt way better than before; my drugs had kicked in, and now I'll be all crazy for the next week (again). I got dressed and joined Michael and his frinds (including Becky, his former roomie, Draco aka Chris who dated my little sister, and his wife Crystal) - before going to Denny's and finally grocery shopping. I'm home now, obviously.

I read for a bit after the last entry, and then slept. I'm awake now. Sort of.

So...since The Sarah Jane Adventures are coming back for a 24 episode season, and those episodes would be considered part of Season 5, and assuming we get a Season 3 of Torchwood (which seems more than likely) then even with only 3 Doctor Who specials next year, we'll still be getting 40 episodes, which is 2 more than this season (unless we get another animated episode and/or a mini-episode from Children In Need) - in which case we'll get 39 or 40 this year as well.

If that doesn't make sense, it's possible my meds are making me a tad bit insane.

After the last entry I went back to bed. Wendy woke me up around 2pm I think, to say goodbye. One of her good friends that she'd been hoping to see this weekend had contacted her, and she was going to meet him and then head home. I was so out of it when she said goodbye. I remember thinking that she won't have had any of her cake, that I bought for us last night. Then I had lurid dreams about Mark & Wendy having eaten all the cake and leaving me only a frosting shell! lol Yeah. Out of it is right.

I got out of bed around 5pm. I played a video game. I had a snack. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything for very long. I knew that was going to happen, and I've experienced it before so it's less freaky now.

I have a voicemail from Michael talking about hanging out, and maybe watching more Firefly. Perhaps we'll do that. I kind of want to just crawl back into bed though.

I should have some new pictures taken. I don't have any from 2008 as of yet. Hmm.

I just finished the Trek book I was reading. It was better than I expected, and while I have several Trek books lined up to read, I might take a break and read something else. I haven't decided yet.

I should eat something.

I've decided to keep on with the Trek reading. There's so much I need to get done reading by December. Then maybe I can give them a break and just read them as they come out. That's the goal anyways.

I worry about Mark. He hasn't done his taxes in years, and it scares me. I know it stresses him out, and that stresses me out. And if I bring it up to him, he says I'm giving him a hard time. Last year I cleaned his room, which had gotten really messy, and tried sorting out anything that looked tax related to help get him started, but nothing ever came of it, though he did thank me, and has kept his room mostly fixed up since then. He's not a messy person by nature, he just gets behind on stuff, like we all do, and then it just weighs on him and he feels trapped...and I don't blame him. I just wish he'd stop putting this thing off, because that will only make it worse.

I don't pester him about it to make him feel bad. I do it because I love him and I don't want some stupid tax thing to ruin him down the road. blah.

I still have my headache, but I'm sure it's because I haven't eaten. I needed to take my prilosec first, which I've done, and I should be able to eat now, I think. Wish me luck.

I changed my mind about the books I was reading. There's this pair of books that I really didn't want to read, but felt like I should. I skimmed them, and decided there was no reason to read them both, when the only reason I wanted to read them involved a 3 page cameo by the characters I was interested in. On to the next ones then.

I watched the movie "The Groomsmen" today. It's one of the GLBTQ inclusive movies from my shelf that I'd never seen. It was sweet. I got slightly teary eyed at the end. I'm such a girl sometimes. I fucked up, nerdy, geeky girl. lol

I chatting with Michael for a bit. I was tempted to have the sex with him today, but what with all the excitement my body has been through in the last 36 hours I'm taking a break...until Wednesday.

I think I might have hurt my back again. I don't ever really know until suddenly the pain kicks in. I definitely lifted a box from my closet wrong, but maybe I'll be lucky this time?

I have this backlog of e-mails I need to catch up on... Why do I let that happen?

One of my Battlestar Galactica discs is missing. Erg. I let DJ borrow it, and he was supposed to bring it back, but when he arrived here, I was away. Mark said he collected the disc and put it with the others, but it's not there. I've even done that thing I do, when I'm looking for something, and I've already checked a certain spot - and I check it 5 more times, like it will suddenly be there...but it's not. It was a disc that I'd already seen, so I wouldn't have taken it out of there. And Mark had already seen it, so he wouldn't have taken it out of there. It's a mystery.

Oh. After Mark and I had the squabble last night, we calmed down, and I got Mark to watch some Batman Beyond with me. We had watched the first season of the series together ages ago, when it first came to dvd, but then we never continued on when Seasons 2 & 3 arrived. Maybe we'll watch more soon. I hope so, as I don't really have anyone else to watch that with, and it's this kind of fun thing we can do without ripping each others' heads off.

I might go to Necto tonight. I still have the cash I got from the ATM for bowling, and I still get in for free - and the music is good on Wednesdays so I could actually dance. It might be a good idea to vent some of the frustration I've felt over the last few days.

2 days until Torchwood 2x03 ;-0)

Shortly after the last entry, I was in my room...and I got this blinding headache...out of nowhere! Usually there's some kind of progression or warning, and I was just struck down. It was kind of creepy.

Today sucked. It just did. I didn't get much sleep. I felt like my blood was boiling. I kept dreaming I was on fire. Then I was late getting ready for work. When I dropped Mark off I vomited on the curb, and then when I got to work I vomited on the bathroom floor...and things got a lot worse before they finally got mediocre. After work, I stopped to get some food, which was sub-par, then I had this sour gum ball thing to take my mind off the horrible food, only they had really packed the sour into this thing and it left me wretching. Today just sucked in all kinds of ways.

I need to sleep.

I slept for about 3 hours. Not sure how I feel. I got some voicemails. 1 was from Mollie in reply to one I left her about how much I miss her, which was sweet and funny. The other 2 were from Michael; the first one cut out and the 2nd one went on to explain that he's without water, but I'm not certain for how long. Now I'm sitting here, wearing nothing but socks (how did that happen?) and wondering what I should be doing instead.

I read 3 books in the last 2 days. I reread the Arrows trilogy by Mercedes Lackey. I also got caught up on The L Word and Nip/Tuck. And last night I watched the new Torchwood, and then watched it again with Michael & Mark. My visit with Michael was all kinds of fun. There was cuddling, which I don't usually love, but it was nice after not feeling so well. There was all kinds of little moments that I enjoyed.

About last night's Torchwood. I liked it a lot. But there's this scene on a pier and the editing in just this one scene is so horribly, it's really annoying. There's also this one predictable line, which lowered my rating slightly. But the episode had a lot that I did like, and featured the hottest kiss, ever! :-0)

Michael might cover and watch some Firefly later today, but we're not sure yet.

I watched 'The Night Listener' this morning. I'd bought it for my inclusive shelf, but put off watching it as I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it, as I'd heard the story that it was based on. It was interesting. It was the story that I knew, but it was worth seeing. I think if I'd seen it with Mollie in the theater she would have screamed. Or...maybe I just like imagining the that, as it amuses me. ;-0)

What a strange day I'm having. I feel like I'm underwater or something, but it's not a bad feeling. I woke up around 11am. I answered some e-mail. I jumped on this Torchwood forum where I haven't chatted lately, and replied to a bunch of stuff, including this hate mongering fuckwad, who's thread was closed down on account of my disgust, which made me happy. I took my prilosec and went to bed again, with a headache. I woke up around 5:30pm, feeling a lot better. I called Mark to see if he could pick up some stuff for me at the store (he sounds exhausted, but he's nearly done with this thing he's been working on, and it will be nice to see him relax!). I started reading my next Trek book, which I'd started once before and couldn't get into, but now I'm enjoying it. I had an omelette...and some cookies...and some water. Which didn't seem to upset my stomach at all, which was nice. I did some laundry. I called Amber Hatt, who had left me a message last week, and we talked about Buffy & Angel & Doctor Who & Torchwood - which was fun - it's always good to hear from Amber. And then I sent Michael an e-mail...and wrote this. It's been a quiet, relaxing day, for which I'm grateful.

After the last entry I read some more of my book, and drifted off again. I can only use my computer for a minute, as I'm downloading High Def versions of all the Torchwood episodes. I'm not certain if my friends can watch them, as they're in this mkv format, but I've managed to find 2 high def avi episodes from Season 2. :-0)

I forgot to mention earlier that I saw this wicked cool teaser trailer for the upcoming Clone Wars computer animated series, which looks stunning, in my opinion. It's supposed to gel with the previous series and expand on the Clone Wars section of Star Wars; so between Episodes II & III. This is way cool, because my favorite character (Aalya Secura) will still be alive at that point, and will undoubtedly be included in at least a few epiosdes, of which there are said to be at least 100! Very cool.

That series is said to be followed by a live action series set between episodes III & IV. Hopefully I'll finish off the majority of my Star Trek books in the next 2 years, and be able to dive into Star Wars again during all this geeky action ;-0)
