I cleaned my room. I shaved and showered. I chatted with Michael & Corey online. Corey might be visiting Tuesday night, which would be cool; I haven't seen him since August - and he still has my Doctor Who dvds, plus Mark can see him too and they get along quite well. Michael came over cause he needed a hairdryer (seriously)...and we had The Sex. We had conversation as well, and it was all good. After he left I ate and watched that old 80's movie 'Black Widow' which is way cheesy, but I love it. I also read the first 3 chapters of my Mirror Universe book. Now I'm tired...and probably going to bed. I work tonight.

I slept well on Sunday. I hadn't been outside in a few days, and I'd known that it had snowed, but I didn't realize it was so disturbingly cold outside! I was a few minutes late to work, as I didn't plan for the time to warm the car up. I didn't take my lunch though, so that more than made up for the time. I closed John; worked with Joe for a while first. We were busy for awhile and then it died down fast, and the last few hours dragged. Driving home sucked because of the cold, but once I was home it was all good.

I watched 'An Evening With Keven Smith 2: Evening Harder' which put me in a very good mood with much laughter; I'll be buying that title next time I work along with 'The Simpsons Movie'. Then I watched the new 'Brothers & Sisters' & 'The L Word' episodes. Then I started 'Nicholas Nickleby', which I couldn't finish, as I was nodding off. I fell asleep around the time Mark left for work this morning, I think. I heard my phone vibrate a few times, but beyond that I was sleeping well. Odd dreams about weddings and gay kids at my old church. lol

I woke up and read the news, of which there was very little. And what little there was sucked. Like I was hoping to read today that the Writers Strike was over, and the writers had gotten a good deal, but there was nothing about that. Instead, the only thing of interest to me was news that the Hobbit movies, which had seemed to have leaped the final leagal hurtle to arrive in 2010 & 2011, may be snagged up in yet another lawsuit over unpaid cash from the first 3 films! These new movies were 2 bright spots on a very dim entertainment horizon, and now New Line has apparently fucked it up again. Erg.

Still. In about 48 hours I'll have 1 (or possibly 2) new Torchwood episodes. Yay!

What have I done in the last 12 hours? I talked to Mollie on the phone. I played 2 video games. I read some of my Trek book. I ordered some movies. I slept. I ate. I jacked off. I showered. I downloaded the new Terminator episode. I laughed with Mark. I watched the Classic Who serial "Four To Doomsday". And I stayed inside where it was warm.

Went to bed around 10am. Woke up with my stomach in knots. Going back to bed soon. Blah.

At least there's Torchwood to look forward to tomorrow.

Slept ok. Dreamed about 'The L Word'. Woke up feeling worse than before. Pretty sure the 'The L Word' had nothing to do with that though. I love the lesbians.

Well, I finally did get more sleep, which was nice. I feel way better, I think. My plans with Corey fell through because of the weather, but I talked to him for awhile on the phone. He's planning on working at Cedar Point again next summer (he worked there awhile back). We had nice little conversation. It was fun. I also talked to Janice (my older sister) for a bit; she's taking her family on vacation tomorrow. It was good to hear from her.

I watched part of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" before I fell asleep. I just realized there are some girl on girl kisses in that one, which means I can get it for my GLBTQ inclusive shelf. Nifty. There are other horror movies I need to get for it like "A Nightmare on Elm Street, Part 2: Freddy's Revenge" & "Bride of Chucky"; both of which feature gay characters. I like that I've got these diverse kinds of things on my all inclusive shelf. It's cool.

There was more cool Clone Wars news today, which I'm excited about. Yay! And in less than 24 hours I'll hopefully have 2 new Torchwood episodes. These are all good things. :-0) Still upset about the possible Hobbit delay. :-0(

I'm chatting with Michael at the moment. Not sure what I'll be up to later.

I slept until about 4am. I then had some eggs and watched "A Good Woman", which was enjoyable, if nothing special. Some of the dialogue was nice, while other bits were not. I do love Helen Hunt though.

I rented 'Magnolia' once again, and still have not seen it. Perhaps I will see it this time however?

I'm getting a rather horrible headache.

Mark was in an odd mood this morning. He said it was because he'd gotten 8 hours of sleep (a rarity for him of late), but that he felt worse than when he called in to work yesterday. We laughed a lot though, and that was nice. He was still home when I went to sleep, and woke me up around 1pm with his talking on the phone, but when I woke again around 4pm he was gone.

I tried watching "Magnolia" and while I feel I should be impressed or excited about the movie, I'm just not. In fact, one sequence in the movie made me long to shut it off. I think that if I'd seen it when it was new I might have enjoyed it more. As it is, I stopped watching it fairly early, and started watching another classic Doctor Who serial ("Kinda").

I just updated some random things on my website. Now I'm downloading the 5th episode of Torchwood's 2nd Season, "Adam". Hopefully, in an hour or so, then 6th episode ("Reset") will also be available, though I'm not sure it will be available at all this week. We'll see.

Mark gets of work at 6pm, but given how late he was, he'll most likely work over. Last week at this time I was approaching the end of the available Battlestar episodes and loving it...

And creeping up on me is Valentine's Day. It's been a long while since I was dating anyone on a 14th of February, and I find myself wondering what to do for Michael on that day? The day itself means less than nothing to me. Maybe because I'm cynical, or maybe because I've experienced it before in all it's glory and been unimpressed by it; by national holidays all together. I'd rather be inspired to give or celebrate something, than be encouraged to by the masses. Yet I'd like for Michael to enjoy it. Is that odd? Just one more shade of crazy...

Mark's home. I've downloaded both new Torchwood episodes, and invited Michael over to watch them with us, as his copies won't be done for awhile. Plus after midnight it will be Valentine's Day. I have another headache though. I took my painkiller and a shower. Now I'm going to eat, and hope that helps.

Michael, Mark & I all enjoyed the new Torchwood episodes, though Mark enjoyed the first one best ("Adam"), while Michael & I preferred the 2nd one ("Reset"). There wasn't anything wrong with the first one exactly, but the 2nd one was like continuity porn, with nods to all sorts of other Torchwood & Doctor Who episodes. I think the 'Adam' episode had some great things to say as well, but 'Reset' is when things really started happening. Very cool.

Afterwards, I started watching 'Episode II' but Michael distracted me in the best way possible, and once again sex was had. Very good. Kudos all around. ;-0) And that was the Valentine's Day gift. Michael actually brought a card with him, which noted that I'm not a holiday sort, so that was cool. After the sex and showering and chatting I was nodding off, as I'd taken my pain killer earlier and it had finally kicked in. Michael kissed me goodbye, let himself out, and I fell asleep for a few hours.

Now I'm awake. Obviously. The roads are loads better, or so I've heard. That's assuming it isn't snowing outside. If it's not, I'd really like to get those doughnuts this morning; the ones I've been craving for weeks but haven't really had. I also need to stop at the grocery store and pick up a few things. The bakery opens at 5:30am. Maybe I could hit the grocery store first? Or not. I don't know. I'll probably take my time and get to the bakery first.

It's been revealed that the previously announced release date for the new Star Trek film has been changed from Christmas 2008 to May 2009! This is actually very good news in my opinion. It was said that the movie was working with an original film script that couldn't be worked on during production because of the Writers Strike, but now the strike is over and that can be worked on now, which is a huge relief to me. This move also allows the stuido more time to promote the film, and allow audiences to warm to the idea of this new reboot to the series. Besides the fact that more production time is always good; being rushed to theaters can't always be good, and in many cases can be devistating. I'd rather they take the time and get it right, than rush the process and fuck it up. This doesn't mean the movie will be good, but to me, this means they have more options, and more of a chance to get it right.

I guess I'm just not meant to have sugary snacks today. I drove all the way out to Saline to get my favorite doughnuts in the world. Before I got there I worried that they might be closed for the holiday, as that would just be my luck! Only they were open. As pulled up I could see the doughnuts sitting out, and 3 people sitting at 2 separate tables and chatting over coffee. I parked and walked into the store, so pleased with myself that I was finally going to get my favorite morning treat, and months of putting it off. I ordered 4 glazed, not really paying attention to the woman behind the counter as I drooled over my upcoming reward... Until the woman asked me to repeat what I'd said. Then I noticed that the woman's eyes were watered and red, as was her nose. When I repeated myself she apologised saying that she had a terrible cold and that she couldn't hear anything, before using one of those sanitary things to pick up my doughnuts and put them in a bag. Then she sneezed. I didn't want to be rude and cancel my order, but now the thought of eating those doghnuts was akin to swallowing poison. I paid for my doughnuts, and went to the car...defeated.

I went to Kroger and bought $60.00 worth of groceries. Seeing the sad ill woman reminded me to buy more hand sanitizer for work, as we're just about out, and I like to have it there at all times. I bought 3 of them actually, and left one in the car.

I'd left the doughnuts in the car when I went in to Kroger. I brough them in the house with me with the groceries. The entire time I shopped, and drove home I toyed with the idea of eating them. Maybe she hadn't infected them all... Only I couldn't bring myself to risk it, and threw them away. This sucks.

So I'm home...and the groceries have been put away, but my headache is back with a vengence. They were out of a few things I needed from the store, and I need to get the pharmacy and Best Buy sometime soon. And I'd like to go to Hollywood Video as well... But I need to go there tomorrow for work, so I might wait on that. I need to get to Whole Foods and get some of those rice snacks that I enjoy so much. I need to get to the Vault of Midnight and get the new Buffy comic for Mollie. If my head didn't hurt so much this would be a lot easier to plan. As it stands I believe I'll do these things today or tomorrow.

But now I'm going to have a snack, and maybe watch some more Who or Star Wars.

I slept well today. I woke up a little after 6pm, rolled out of bed, and then Mark got home asking me if I'd gotten his messages. Apparently they had MIDRIN (my often dreamed of migrain medication) in at Meijer and he'd had my perscription filled! So I got dressed, and we went to Mejier to get my perscriptions and some other things (chips, Boost, The Narnia Chronicles omnibus, & a giant hand sanitizer for work). Then we went to Best Buy where I bought 2 dvd folder things to send Mollie's dvds in (1 for Battlestar Galactica, and another for Doctor Who), plus the Special Edition of Braveheart, which I've been waiting years for. Then we we went to Briarwood so I could get a new belt (I got 2), where we ran into Paul & Nate. I forgot to introduce Nate to Mark, but when I told Michael later, he said it probably wasn't an issue. Mark & I then went to Kroger to get a few more things we needed. On the way there I left a message for Mollie and called Michael. And now that I'm home I'm exhausted...and very happy that I got all that stuff done, as now I won't have to do it tomorrow. I do wish Michael had been with us though, because he's never met Paul before, and it would have been cool. ;-0)

I slept a couple of hours. Mark woke me up accidentally, but I might get back to sleep...I don't know. I still feel sleepy. We'll see.

I did get back to sleep after the last entry, but only for an hour or so. Then it bacame clear to me that if I wanted to be to work ontime I'd need to stay awake. I read some of my Star Trek book. I started re-reading "The Magician's Nephew". I made my bed. I ate. And I did make it to work ontime.

DJ had some good news for me when I got to work. Brenda, our wench of a district manager is no longer employed at Hollywood. Later I spoke to the new DM on the phone, and he seems like an improvement. DJ also let me know that he's enjoying Doctor Who, though he watched some of it out of order. I also worked with Bryan, Amanda, Bill & Brad. Meg stopped in for a visit, with her new boyfriend; Austin, I think his name was? It was good to see her, and I guess she'll be working at Hollywood over Spring Break. Neat. And I talked to Michael briefly on the phone as I'd told him I'd probably work over and now that looked like it wasn't going to happen. It's good that I called him, because he was planning on visiting me at work, and I wasn't going to be there.

I got out of work on time, picked up Mark, and then went home, where I checked my e-mail, and then climbed into bed around 7pm. I slept well, until about midnight. After that I kept waking up, but I was determined to relax and get more sleep, and I did, which was good. I got out of bed around 4am I think. I called Michael back, as he'd left me some messages, and I called Mollie as well. She messed up her already messed up leg and needs a couple surgeries; ick. We talked and laughed, and then took a break so we could both eat and then continued with more talking and laughing. It was good.

Later I watched "You Are Not Alone". I own 4 or 5 Danish movies and they're all extremely laid back about stuff, but this one was...set in the 70's so all the boys have long hair and look really girly. I'm betting Mollie might like them, because they're so androgynous. It's a nice addition to my shelf though; I was entertained...but I have a few movies from that era and they just seem so completely different to the way things are now that it's jarring to witness them.

My right ankle is aching, and I have no idea why.

I'm probably going to have another snack, and read some more.

I had my snack and finished the Voyager section of my Star Trek book, which was alright. And I just watched another movie from my shelf: "You I Love", which I enjoyed. I love my movie collection. :-0)
