I've been working things out with the new printer & working on my room. I got a great e-mail from Michael, which I should respond to; I'll probably do that after I sleep though, and before I work. So...yeah, I'm slashing up my room, with slash art that is! How fun! :-0) I've already done Jack/Doctor, Wolverine/Cyclops, Kirk/Spock, Ron/Krumb, & Garak/Bashir. This rocks. Seriously.

And back to it I suppose.

I got a lot of work done on my room last night. I put up 20 pictues; all but one of them slash related; all of them printed with the new printer. Mark was impressed with the work that I'd done, and happy that I was taking advantage of the new printer; he says even with the cost for new ink and paper, I'll be saving bundles on the stuff I've been buying for my walls. He's right of course, but I'll probably still buy art books and things like.

I slept well on Sunday. I don't remember having any dreams, but I felt well rested when I woke up. I responded to Michael's e-mail message, then got ready for work. I was ontime. I got tons of stuff done. We have these goal sheets at work, and the last two times I've worked I kicked ass on them, so that feels good. I worked with Ruki, Joe, and closed the store with John. I was going to get pizza on my break, as I hadn't had time to eat before leaving home, but Little Caesars closed an hour before I called to order on account of the Easter holiday. I ate the yogert I brought with me and skipped my lunch. We were pretty busy for awhile, but it slowed to a crawl in the last 2 hours of the night.

I went to the bank after work and bought groceries. I came home and started downloading the season finale of The L Word. I washed up, had a snack, and started getting some more art stuff ready to print. Mark visted with me briefly and helped me with a proble I had with my wall. He went to bed, and I watched the L Word Finale, which was good, and cemented this season as a highly enjoyable one. I burned the whole season on a disc (along with the theatrical trailer for Doctor Who Season 4) onto a disc for Mollie; maybe I'll send that to her tomorrow. I just read that the show is coming back for a 6th and final season, of only 8 (instead of 12) episodes - and rumor has it that Carmen will be returning, which would be great, in my opinion. I hope the show goes out with a bang when it starts airing in 2009. ;-0)

I started working on my walls again. I ran out of yellow ink pretty quickly though (which is to be expected as I got a lot printed), and I'm kind of stuck, but I'll work around that for now. I got an e-mail from Michael. Things between us seem good. This is a huge relief for me.

Today I'm supposed to get my Battlestar dvds to Carrie so she can consume Razor and Season 3; it will be nice to see her, if only for a short time. I might send that dvd out to Mollie today. I'd like to finally finish my Trek book; I didn't read any of it this weekend, and a new DS9 one should be arriving at my door today... Though I may read the "His Dark Materials" trilogy first? I haven't decided. We'll see.

I'm going to work on my walls some more. I might take a nap too. Or jack off. I don't know. I'm kind of being pulled in a dozen different directions, but all them could be fun, so maybe I can do all of them. :-0)

I didn't work on my room much more last night. I cleaned it a bit, and planned out some stuff. I didn't read. I woke Mark up for work and I went to bed. I woke up feeling cramped, though I don't know why. My new DS9 book has arrived; I want to read it, but it's part one of three, and the others will follow every month from now...and I hate starting things when the end isn't readily available. lol.

I found the Season 4 Theme for Doctor Who online, which was first heard during the opening credits of the 2007 Christmas Special, "Voyage of the Damned". It's just the short intro version, but it's cool to have. I collect music from shows and movies, and my Whoniverse file is pretty impressive (to me at least). I also found some teaser trailers for Season 4, which confirm that the Ood, the Sontarans & the Daleks will all be back this Season. I'm looking forward to all of them, as no Dalek story can be worse than the last one. I'm not a big Dalek fan, so any story with them has to have more than the evil pepper shakers wheeling around to make me happy, and it's known that the Daleks feature in the final story of the season, which also brings back Rose & Jackie Tyler, Mickey Smith, Sarah Jane Smith, Captain Jack Harkness, Donna, the Doctor & Martha Jones - so I'm pretty sure I'll have enough that I love to enjoy those episodes even if the Dalek bits are lame. Whereas last season, instead of that lineup, we had Martha drooling on the Doctor while dodging musical numbers and pig men - with Daleks morphing into penis faced wimps, and planning the destruction of the human race with plans that made no sense. Yeah. It has to be better this time. ;-0)

Mark just left some funny comments on my blog, which made me reread some stuff I'd written about the last Torchwood episode to air ("Fragments"), which reminded me how much I enjoyed it. I'll be able to send that to Mollie 2 weeks from today, with the complete 2nd Season, plus the 1st episode of Season 4 Who. Maybe she'll get her phone fixed today so we can actually talk?

My stomach feels slightly better, so I might go back to sleep. I need to be up later to get those BSG discs to Carrie, and to possibly purchase some ink & paper for the printer. There was another errand I wanted to run, but I can't remember what it was... Oh. I should drop Mollie's L Word disc at the post office. Ok. Sleep.

Mark & I hung out with Carrie for a bit tonight; it was brief but fun. Carrie came with us to Office Max and Staples on a crappy journey to find a lot of nothing. But it was the company that mattered. Then we went to the post office and sent out Mollie's 'L Word' disc. Then back to the condo to show off my collage, and chat about boys, sex, movies, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Draconian / Iconian Gateways, Doctor Who, the evils of modern art, and all manner of other random things. Oh. And I may have offended a Christian by my frank dialogue, which I wasn't aiming for by any means, but was just a bonus. ;-0)

Carrie had to be home early though, so we drove her home. She likes our heated seats. We got big hugs. And that was that.

I had thought I was probably going to Necto. Then Michael asked me if I was, and then I wasn't sure. Then I thought I was, and now I'm not sure again. I feel oddly exhausted. I didn't get as much sleep today as I usually do on account of my stomach being evil. And I'd like to get more work done on my walls now that I have paper and ink. And I'd like to finish my Trek book, and maybe start the new DS9 one that arrived - or just the Lost Era in general. I'm not sure. I never know what I'm going to read until I just start it. lol.

Anyways - I'll know in the morning if I went or not, and then so will you.

;-0)

I didn't go to Necto Monday night. I hadn't had much to eat or sleep, so I did what was best for my stomach and slept. I exhanged some random texts with Michael, who didn't seem pleased that I wasn't typing any responses besdies a question mark, but I hate typing out texts on my phone; it takes me a long time, and I was trying to get to sleep. It was also one of those 'conversations' where someone says they know something, to elicit a repsonse, and you give it, and then they do so again, without coming to the point, when they could have just told you what they know. People do this all the time, and sometimes it's fun, but in text mode it just sucks beyond the telling of it. I still have no clue what it is he wanted to tell me because he didn't. Oh well. I sent him a yahoo message when I woke up, trying to explain, but he was asleep. Turnabout is fair play. ;-0)

I noticed a spider in the kitchen early Monday morning (arond 3am), and I considered killing it. I don't like bugs or spiders in my house. I don't hate them or anything, but they're just not fun to have around me. But then I figured that the spider wasn't hurting me, and in fact was most likely going to eat a bunch of annoying bugs, so I figured I'd let it live. It was moving around in an odd pattern, and I wondered if it was setting up a web or something... Around 7am I went back to the kitchen and the spider was dead. It had crawled up there to die. And I couldn't help thinking that the way that it had been moving, was it's agonizing death throes...and that I should if I'd killed it before, it would have been a mercy killing. I seriously felt guilty for not killing a spider.

I sought out, printed, cut, reworked, and put up a slew of new pictures in my room; the inside of my bedroom door is nearly finished. But it took a lot of time. I got about 20 minutes of sleep before I had to get ready for work. I was late by 18 minutes. I worked more than an hour over though, and I kicked ass in sales again. I also had a good time while I was there, working with Bryan, Bill, Michael, Laura & Amanda; John stopped by too.

After Mark picked me up from work, we went to Staples where I used this coupon to save $10.00 on over $20.00 of poster tape. As we were leaving Mark noticed that one of our tires was low. I always think our tires look low, but compared our previous car, they do. Mark stopped for air on the way home, but couldn't find his pressure guage, and we continued home. I went to be bed, and Mark left to go fix Karen's computer, which we've been trying to find the time for (for ages now).

I woke up around 10:30pm, and could have gone right back to sleep, except Mark wasn't home yet and I thought that was odd, so I called him. He was waiting for a tow truck to come get him, as he'd had a flat. He had stopped for air on the way to Karen's but the station was closed and the air unavailable. He worked on Karen's computer for 3 hours or so, and he thinks he's probably got it fixed, but isn't quite sure; he said it was working when he left though.

I gave Mollie a call while I waited for him to get home; I left her a voicmail. Her phone is apparently on now, so hopefully we can talk sometime soon. I wanted to stay up and wait for Mark, as I felt a little worried about him making it home now. I picked up the new DS9 book and read the prologue, which... this book looks like it's packed with continuity, and all of it centered on the Cardassians and the Bajorans (my 2 favorite Trek alien cultures) - and I'm just really excited to read these. The prologue alone had a bunch of revelations about thing's introduced in the Garak book from years ago, which I loved. And when I quickly looked at the first page of chapter 1, I saw the name Kotan Pa'Dar. Wow. He's a Cardassian from the DS9 episode "Cardassians" and it makes perfect sense that he would be a character here. I looked at the back of the book; not to read the end because I don't do that, but to see how many pages it was, and if they're might be an excerpt of the next volume. What I found made me even more excited. There are Appendixes of Bajoran & Cardassian characters, food, ranks, and all sorts of other things, and it tells you what all those things are, and where they were first mentioned, be that in a book or an episode! Continuity Porn. Fan Wank. I love it. :-0) If the books prove to be as good as I'm hoping, I'll have to send copies to Mollie. She really enjoys DS9, and she LOVES the Cardassians. Garak isn't in this first volume, but Dukat is; he's even on the fricking cover!

Anyways...after Mark got home, I filled him in on all the Trek excitement, and then we watched some 'Invader Zim', which he'd never seen. It was fun. We watched the first 4 episodes. Then Mark went to bed, and went back and finished the Klingon book I was reading, which is part 1 of 2, and it ended extremely well. I was very happy with it. I'm gonna continue on with the new DS9 one, and maybe read the other Kligon one after that. We'll see.

I have more pictures to put up. I have more books to read. I have no boyfriend to fuck. And I'm extemely horny. Hmmm. Well, maybe I'll get more reading done. lol

I'm aching for the Torchwood finale, and trying so hard to stay away from spoilers, but 9 & 1/2 days to go seems like too much!!! And I want to know what Michael was talking about last night; he said he'd noticed something about Torchwood that he thinks I might not have...and he made it sound really cool. I'm hoping that it is something really cool that I haven't noticed, and not something that I've pointed out to him in the past, which would be disappointing. The same way I tell Mark stuff and then he tells me it later like it's new, only worse, cause I'm excited to know this. lol. If it's that Tosh was Who or something like that...erg. Oh well. I'll know when I know.

I should get something to eat.

Oh. And I've had multiple songs from EVITA stuck in my head for like 4 days now.

I read more of my new DS9 prequel book. It inspired me to watch some episodes, and I'm falling in love with the show all over again. I watched the 2nd season episode "The Collaborator", which features a Bajoran charcter named Kubus Oak, who's just one of a vast number of Bajoran & Cardassian characters set to appear in this trilogy of DS9's past...and there was just so much to love about this one episode. Political & religious intrigue, character development, revelations and interpersonal drama, romance, the look that launched the Kira / Odo relationship - with Quark making me laugh out loud after all these years. This is fun.

In other geeky news, of the 38 confirmed Season 4 Whoniverse episodes, I lack 15. Here's where I think they go, for now:

01 068 Partners in Crime
02 070 The Fires of Pompeii
03 072 Planet of the Ood
04 076 The Sontaran Stratagem [Part I]
05 077 ??? [Part II]
06 079 ???
07 082 The Unicorn and the Wasp
08 084 Silence in the Library [Part I]
09 085 ??? [Part II]
10 089 Midnight
11 093 Exit Wounds [Part II]
12 094 ??? [Part I]
13 095 ??? [Part II]
14 096 ??? [Part III]
15 097 ??? [Part IV] (Xmas Special)

#089 Exit Wounds [Part II] will air Friday April 4th. #068 Partners in Crime will air Saturday April 5th, with 12 more episodes to follow in consecutive weeks, and the final installment to be aired at Christmas. There will be no new season of "Totally Doctor Who" this year, which is where last year's animated episode came from, so I doubt we'll have one of those this year, and even if there's another Children in Need Special (which I hope there is) the previous installments have all been set between the final episode of the main seasons and the Christmas Specials, so that shouldn't effect the order of things. The only thing I need to know now are how Torchwood ends (which I'll soon know) and how Jack & Sarah Jane come to be on Doctor Who, which will be revealed in June, I think.

In the mean time I'm trying to stay away from any Torchwood Finale spoilers. Which is difficult because of the longer waiting time of 2 weeks instead of 1. Erg.

I just woke up. I talked to Mollie this morning, which was nice. She had gone back to work last I heard, but apparently 8 hours into her shift she snapped a tendon in her knee and has been home again ever since. She has physical therapy. But mostly she plays a massive multiplayer anime type game online, watches geeky shows, and doesn't leave the house. She's going back to work in 2 weeks though. She's enjoyed the discs I sent her; she's watched all of Nip/Tuck & Ugly Betty. She wants to watch Doctor Who next, but I suggested Battlestar; it's up to her, but it seems like Battlestar she can watch and basically be done with; there are only 20 episodes left, and it's done - unless Caprica sells as a series. Where as Doctor Who (and it's spin-offs) are in Season 30, and will continue on after that - and she won't be getting the bulk of new Who episodes until early June. Anyways - we talked about a bunch of stuff, and it was great to hear her voice.

I also put up some more pictures. I put 3 more pictures on the outside of my door. The door is coming along nicely on both sides. The inner side is nearly finished, but I need to find pictures that fit in the spots I have left, so it might not be done for awhile.

I slept well. When I woke I turned on my phone, which had been charging, and there was a text from Mark that came at around 3:30pm about him being at Subaru, when I didn't even know he was going. Apparently the car needs a lot of work; it's gonna cost $700.00 and Mark was pretty sure we were getting a rental car. I was hoping to get some cds out of the car; the NIN ones in particular, but I guess I can wait. I hope the car thing goes smoothly. I don't trust Subaru at all, and as much as I love certain aspects of our car, I would never get another car from them. Ever.

The airdate and time slot for Doctor Who has been confirmed for series 4. Torchwood is aimed at a much more adult audience so it doesn't air until after 9pm in the UK. Doctor who will be airing on Saturdays, at 6:20pm. That means I'll be able to get it here in the states considerably earlier than I've been getting Torchwood - which is great. I'd forgotten about that. Nice.

I asked Mollie if she wanted me to send the first new Who episode with the completed Torchwood Seasosn 2 in early April. She likes watching complete seasons of shows, but I thought I'd give her the option here as she's missed Donna (and the Doctor) as much as I have. She said she wants the episode ASAP. :-0)

I had a dream that Mark & I got married. It was odd. I mean...it was a happy dream, but it was like we were characters on The L Word. lol. Bette & Tina were there. So were a few other characters, and it was like...the show, and we'd been on it for years. Weird. lol. Funny really.

I haven't slept since getting up a little before 7pm last night, and I won't be getting any sleep until after work, but I'm ok with that.

I'm listening to the 7 mashups I've gotten this year that I actually like. It's been hard to find quality mashups this year, which sucks...

Michael came over for a visit last night. We watched DS9. We chatted. And we fucked. I suggested he leave before the sex, and said things might be confusing for him or us...but he didn't sound confused. Hopefully all is well with that. I mean...I don't regret it. I'm just worried that it will cause confusion later on, or something.

I'm so exhausted.

Mark is picking me up in about an hour to drop me off at work. Our car is in the shop, but it's ready, so that solves a bunch of problems we were going to have to deal with this weekend. Cool.

Now if I can just manage to make it through the day, I can finally get some sleep when I get home from work. Hopefully work goes well. Michael wants me to go to Necto tonight, and I'd be ok with that...as long as I get some sleep. SLEEP. If I just type it enough times...maybe it will feel like I've actually had some. Sleep I mean. lol

Made it to work about 6 minutes late. DJ, Bryan & Ruki were there. Everything was going well. It was all fun. I told DJ I'd have to work over by up to two hours as Mark would be picking up our car, and DJ let me know we were way over on labor and he'd drive me home. Sounded good. I kicked ass on sales agaain, which is cool, since it's my last day to do so in the little contest we're running...and DJ even gave me some pointers. Ruki left. Pat, Amanda, & Alex later showed up. DJ had to go to get a review from the cunt known as Brenda. And the review wasn't good. She basically gave him the lowest possible rating in every category, which aside from being petty, dishonest, cruel, and bitchy - means that DJ won't be getting a raise; that this disturbingly inaccurate review will be read by those who will be in charge of us now that Brenda is offically out of our lives...and that DJ is now stressed and depressed, just as anyone would be after being so mistreated. She seriously deserves to be slapped. Violence is wrong, yadda, yadda, yadda... But it's possible in this case it might actually snap her back to reality...or wake up some of those sleeping brain cellls or something. Plus we could sell tickets to see who gets to slap her and use the money we brought in to buy our store and run it ourselves. :-0)

DJ brought me home, after making sure I had the time to hit or beat all my goals for the day, getting me home nearly an hour early. It would have been neat if I'd gotten to stay for longer and get even more stuff... but I didn't want peeps to get in trouble because I stayed. Also, it was nice to have DJ over, as he got to see the progress on my room, which he says he really enjoys. He said he likes coming over to my place, because I'm there. He's been reiterating that a lot lately, which has been nice to hear.

After DJ left, I tried to watch something while having a snack, but couldn't keep my eyes open and went to sleep. I woke up around 8:30pm, with the worst stomach cramps... I felt like I was daying. They passed eventually...and then the pain came down to a much more familiar, human level. The whole 'I feel like someone just gave me an abortion with a rusty razor blade' sensation has returned, and I've not clue what inspired it.

erg.

Gonna try to lie down now.

Ooh. Geeky news makes Jason happy! The 5th title of Doctor Who's 4th season has been revealed: "The Poison Sky" ;-0) Yay.

And now back to my pain and suffering.

I managed to nap a bit; woke up feeling ill again. Only more pain than when I layed down. I've not been taking my stomach pills, as they can constipate me, but I've had a bit of that already and didn't want to make it worse...well I'm past that now and I just took a new pill.

Ick.

Just woke up again. Not sure how I feel. But another Doctor Who title has been revealed; episode 9 is called "River's Run". We still don't know the titles to episode 6 & episodes 11-14. Those titles should be revealed in the coming weeks, with the 14th title revealed at the end of the 13th episode, assuming all goes as it has in the previous 3 seasons.

I feel a lot better, yet pretty numb. Pill has definitely kicked in. It will be awhile until this fades and I'm feeling ok all around.

Mark's hanging out in my room, playing with his newly fixed phone. It's cute.

I'm just trying to make sense of anything around me.

I'm starting to feel a bit more clear headed. Hope it lasts.

I got a call from DJ a while ago. He caught part of Torchwood on BBC America and was wondering if I was glued to the tv. I explained to him that the episode that was airing ("From Out of the Rain") had aired in the UK on March 12, and I download them the night they air there, so I've already seen that episode and 2 more after it. He seemed slightly bummed by that answer, but I'm not certain why.

I chatted on gay.com for a bit. I conversed with more than 2 dozen really nice people, and ignored slightly less than that who just wanted sex. I don't get upset about the latter; I just put them on ignore and move on.

I'm hungry.
