   Tuesday, April 1, 2008

I never took the midrin; the headache seemed to fade away. I took my prilosec and drank some water. I still feel kind of dehydrated though, and I don't know why. I read more of my book. I slept more. I just woke up about 4 minutes ago. I keep having odd dreams centered insider or around my grandmother's old barn that burned to the ground last year. Odd.

It's April Fool's Day now. It's Jason Brian Brooks's 34th birthday today, though I have no idea where he is or how to reach him. I was out of the hospital 16 years ago today.

Less than 4 days until Torchwood / BSG. Less than 5 days until Doctor Who.

Perhaps I should try to rouse myself and go to Necto? That's always the question on Monday nights.

I'm not going out. I think that if I did I'd have fun. But I want to read some more, and work on my room. And think. Sometimes I want to do anything but think and those are the nights that I enjoy dancing the most... But tonight I just have some many thoughts running through my head that I don't want to lose track of that that kind of activity is pointless.

I read only a little bit more before remembering that I'd rented 'Sweeny Todd', and that I should probably return it when I go to work today. I watched it on the big screen tv. It was good; I enjoyed it. Gorgeous, like all of Tim Burton's stuff. But not something I want to watch over and over. I think Mollie would probably love it.

I have a slight headache. I didn't get any work done on my room, though I did track down some more art for it, and I'm sorting through my options and inspirations and seeing what will fit and what won't.

I may read some more, or take a nap. I want to be on time for work and all that. I have no idea who I work with today. Hopefully it all goes well.

I'm over half way through 'The Golden Compass' now, and I'm rather enjoying it at this point. I'm about half way through chapter 13. I'd be reading still, but I'm thirsty, and thought I'd make a note of my progress here before trudging downstairs for a drink; probably juice.

Mark just left for work. My headache is getting worse I think. I took some motrin. I didn't want to take my midrin, because my stomach is upset, and if I can't keep the midrin down they'd be wasted. Ick.

Ok. It's April Fool's Day, and a lot of fake news pops up on this day, but this one seems legit. It's an episode list of Doctor Who Season 4, which coincides with a new Doctor Who magazine being released in the UK today (with 4 different Who themed covers, which I saw days ago) - plus they hold back on the title of episode 12, saying something about that one being top secret. So, assuming this news is real (and I've got mroe than one reason to believe that it is) then here's how the new season of Who plays out:

01 Partners in Crime (airs this Sat.)
02 The Fires of Pompeii
03 Planet of the Ood
04 The Sontaran Stratagem [Part I]
05 The Poison Sky [Part II]
06 The Doctor's Daughter
07 The Unicorn and the Wasp
08 Silence in the Library [Part I]
09 River's Run [Part II]
10 Midnight
11 Turn Left
12 ???
13 Journey's End
14 ??? (2008 Christmas Special)

The new titles in the list are for episodes 6, 11 & 13. There have been rampant rumors about a "Doctor's Daughter" episode, for months now, so that seems about right. And 'Turn Left' could be right, from what I think I know about that episode. And 'Journey's End'? Well...I have this horrible feeling that the 10th Doctor isn't long for this world. Erg. I mean...everybody is coming back for this episode. It has Daleks, and Rose, and Mickey, and Jackie, and Martha, and Donna, and Sarah Jane Smith - so it's an event - it makes sense that something HUGE would happen here. And I think that all this huff about David Tennant taking a break and doing 3 specials is a smokescreen so people won't know. But I could be wrong. And I hate the title 'Journey's End', because it was a Next Generation title, and then a Next Generation special. But maybe this episode will cure of that dislike?

Blah.

I wish my head would stop aching.

I called into work. My head is killing me. My stomach won't let me ingest the pain killers that would allow me to work. Thankfully this isn't something that happens to me all that often, this joining of my two personal demons... I also feel like I might be getting another kidney stone, but I'm not sure if I am or not. I mean...it might be just bits of one like I had before. So...not having a good day. And this sucks even more, as I was hoping to kick ass on my sales at work (again) today, and now I won't have the chance. I very nearly went in despite all this, but I know it wouldn't be worth it...and so I made the call. They've been over on labor lately anyways, so my not being there might actually be a good thing. I just wish the pain would stop.

The Doctor Who titles (covered in the last entry) have been all but confirmed, which means that for the 15 remaining confirmed episodes of Whoniverse Season 30, we now have all but 2 titles: the 12th of Doctor Who is being kept under wraps for now, as it's said it gives too much away, and the Christmas Special, the title of which will undoubtedly be reavealed at the end of Doctor Who #13 ("Journey's End"). Cool. Here are the remaining episodes we have for this season of the Whoniverse, and their probable airdates:

15 04/04/08 093 Torchwood 04x34
Exit Wounds [Part II]

14 04/05/08 068 Doctor Who 04x09
Partners in Crime

13 04/12/08 070 Doctor Who 04x11
The Fires of Pompeii

12 04/19/08 072 Doctor Who 04x13
Planet of the Ood

11 04/26/08 076 Doctor Who 04x17
The Sontaran Stratagem [Part I]

10 05/03/08 077 Doctor Who 04x18
The Poison Sky [Part II]

09 05/10/08 079 Doctor Who 04x20
The Doctor's Daughter

08 05/17/08 082 Doctor Who 04x23
The Unicorn and the Wasp

07 05/24/08 084 Doctor Who 04x25
Silence in the Library [Part I]

06 05/31/08 085 Doctor Who 04x26
River's Run [Part II]

05 06/07/08 089 Doctor Who 04x30
Midnight

04 06/14/08 094 Doctor Who 04x35
Turn Left [Part I]

03 06/21/08 095 Doctor Who 04x36
??? [Part II]

02 06/28/08 096 Doctor Who 04x37
Journey's End [Part III]

01 12/25/08 097 Doctor Who 04x38
??? [Part IV] (2008 Christmas Special)

Again, it's possible we'll have a mini-episode between 02 & 01. It's also likely that between those two intallments we'll see the 2nd Season of The Sarah Jane Adventures, which will be part of the 31st season of the Whoniverse.

Ugh. I need to get away from the monitor. I'll try to read some more, to distract myself from my suffering, but I'm worried that the reading might hurt my head, and I can't lay down because of my stomach. I might just turn the lights down and try to get comfortable.

Wish me luck.

I read more and eventually passed out. I have no idea when I fell asleep or how for how long, only that I dreamt I was watching V. Later (in the dream) I was talking to Chris Taylor in his old house...about Danny Morgret(?) who used to live across the road from him. I said that his father had been scary, and that you couldn't make any noise in his house or his father got very angry, and that his mother still worked at Food Town / Kroger, and how that was kind of sad. Later I watched the 9th Season of Buffy, which I'd had recorded for me by a friend, as I hadn't been able to watch it when it aired. I was watching the final episodes, which I'd read about, but never seen, and I thought I knew all the cool stuff, except that Oz showed up, and I don't know how, but Cordelia as well. Cordy was a bitch; it was funny. They all ended up eating together at a big table on a deserted street, outside. There were multiple Spikes for some reason, relating to plotline earlier in the season, and Buffy looked more like she did in Season 1. It was all very odd. Willow got back together with Oz at the end, which was very sweet, as I never liked Kennedy as much as Oz or Tara. lol. And the episode ended with Buffy staking the annoying vamp from early in the episode. In the dream I started rewatching the episode, only it had now changed...then Mark woke me up by opening the front door, as he got home from work...which was fine really.

Mark tracked down some of the bottled water that we drink. He gave me that, and some other stuff that he got for me. He asked how my head was (it's fine), and my stomach (which I'm not sure of yet) and told me he hoped I felt better. I told him about my strange dreams. He left my room, and I considered going back to sleep, but I wanted to write this, so I rolled off my bed (seriously), stumbled to my squeaky chair, and wrote this.

Not sure what I'm doing now.

Oh. And those Doctor Who titles have been confirmed as real now. Now I'm left wondering WTF that one is that they're not telling us because it gives too much away. I'm sure they'll reval it in a month or so, after the season has begun unspooling. ;-)

I slept more.

I read more. I have 4 chapters left in my book; that's 49 pages. I'll finish the book today I think. Then I'll either read that DS9 book that I started or the next 'His Dark Materials' book. I'm not sure which, but probably the DS9 book first.

I don't work until Friday.

I should go to the comic shop today and get the new Buffy and Trek comics, though that depends on how I'm feeling. I think I mostly feel better now, but I'm never quite sure. Oh well.

I tried catching up on Smallville, but one of the episodes I need to watch is flawed to the point of being unwatchable; the sound doesn't match up with the actions on screen. I tried finding another copy, but I've waited too long. I can find all the episodes after it, but not that specific episode, which sucks, cause I was ready to dig in and enjoy what I'd missed.

I drove Mark to work. I went to Staples and bought more ink. I remembered what kind of ink cartridges with a word game: How could the lamest Harry Potter book (that's the 2nd one: The Chamber of Secrets) make such a pretty moving pictures (cause I love the movie). And I needed HP2 cartridges to print more art out. Then I returned Sweeny Todd. Then I went to Meijer for more Midrin, plus I got body wash, after shave, a cup, condoms, a body sponge and some Boost. Then I went to the comic shop and picked up the new Buffy, Angel & Star Trek comics.

When I got home, the UPS guy dropped off my Vulcan's Soul trilogy & my new Doctor Who dvds. I loaded the ink in the printer and started printing pretty pictures. I read the new issue of Buffy. And now I need to put all this other stuff away. I want to get some work done with my room. And I'd like to finish reading 'The Golden Compass' today.

I cleaned my room. I did some laundry. I put up one picture to support others. I planned a plan. I downloaded the soundtrack to Sweeny Todd and sang along while I worked.

I rewatched "Batman Begins" for the first time since seeing it in the theater. I liked it slightly more than the first time, yet still found it rather silly. I think the older Batman films which were grounded in fantasy allowed Batman a certain amount of...support, but taking him out of that, and putting him in a more realistic film, makes the character seem, as I said, kind of silly. But all the actors do the best they can with what they have, and as an introduction it works pretty well. The sequel looks better and I hope it is. And I hope someone else does the editing. Ick.

I haven't read my book. I haven't slept. I have to pick up Mark at 6pm. He told me this morning that when I slept today, I didn't have to worry about picking him up on time; that I could sleep late, but if I went to bed now I wouldn't pick him up at all, which I doubt is what he meant.

But I'm tired...and I look forward to sleeping when I get home.

I picked up Mark from work on time, and had him drive us home. Mollie called me while we were on our way; it was really great to hear from her. We talked about headaches, Sweeny Todd, The Golden Compass, Doctor Who, Torchwood, 'skipping by her skinny', The L Word at the post office, Buffy comics, Batman Begins, vacations & Betty White - then she went to eat her food, and I got ready for bed...with a detour to talk to Mark about Sweeny Todd as he'd decided he wasn't going to watch it, but was interested in the story.

Now...I'm exhausted. I'm going to undress; get my comforter out of the dryer, put my towels in the dryer, crawl into bed...try to read a bit, and then sleep the the sleep of the richly deserving. :-0)

I just woke up a few minutes ago. My stomach feels slightly pained. Beyond that, the sleep did me a lot of good; I feel recharged.

I just finished 'The Golden Compass', which I enjoyed up until the end. It's not that the ending (no spoilers here) is bad; it's just that I figured it out a few chapters before, which took away some of it's power. I'm sure I'll read the next volume, and had thought I'd be tempted to read it straight away, but this feels like a good place to break off and read something else before coming back to it later, and so I shall.

I watched "Beautiful Girls". It's one of those movies that I always wanted to see, but never did, until now. I find that I always enjoy those movies once I see them, but that I'm haunted by the feeling that I would have enjoyed them more when they were new. It's not a brilliant film or anything. I did like Uma Thurman & Natalie Portman, and their storylines with Tomothy Hutton, but the rest was kind of blah. I haven't seen any movies lately that have become favorits of mine. Maybe that will change soon? I hope so. I do like the fact that I actually watched all the movies I rented for once.

I just woke Mark up. He's in the shower now. I'm wondering if I should drive him to work. My Midrin should be ready today; they couldn't get it all yesterday. Also, I need some other stuff. But I'd much rather just stay home...

I don't feel like working on my room, even though I have some amazing artwork to work with... I don't think I feel like reading either. I'm uber-horny, but I don't have a boyfriend...or the urge to stroke off at the moment. What does that leave me with? I've no fucking clue.

After the last entry I had quite the work out. After a shower and a snack, I decided that instead of going back to the new DS9 book, I'd actually go back to reading the Starfleet Corps of Engineers books. The thing is, I need to read several more of those stories before I can get back to the New Frontier series, which I miss reading very much... And the new DS9, as much as I long to read it, is set during The Lost Era, which I'd like to read straight though once I have time for it...and it's nice to know that it's there waiting for me, while I finish off some older titles.

I printed up a photograph of myself on some glossy paper. I'm planning on giving it to my grandmother, as she has this nightmarish picture of me (with hair) on her wall, and hopefully I can talk her into replacing it with this one. It's one of my favorite photographs, and a real testiment to Mark's photographic talent; very stylized; very emotional.

I called Janice earlier, but no one answered. I haven't talked to her in nearly a month, which is rare for us. She was going to do some of my tax info for me, and I never got back to her on it. I need to write a check to the state of MI, but I have no clue how much I'm writing it for...and I'm quickly running out of time on that. I tried calling my Grandmother after leaving Janice a message, but she didn't answer either. Oh well.

I'll probably keep reading for awhile, but go to sleep soon. I'm tired.

I woke up around 11pm when Mark got home from visiting his Mom's place, where his twin brother, nephew and sister-in-law were all going to be. I left my door open when I went to sleep, thinking it would wake me up, only I expected him home a lot earlier. He usually gets home around this time when he visits mom, but this morning he told me that he wouldn't be staying long, and then said he might not even go. So I figured he'd be home by 8pm at the latest. I guess his visit went really well though. I wish he would have called to let me know his plans had changed. When I pointed this out to him, without raising my voice (cause I'm not pissed off, really, just disappointed), he went up to his room has hardly said a word to me since, except to say that he had told me yesterday that he wouldn't be home in time for me to go to the pharmacy, which is true, but that was before he told me he was mad at his mother (which is why he was thinking of not going, and had decided he wasn't going to stay long if he did go). The thing is...I'm seriously not mad, and I had made peace with the idea of not going to the pharmacy today right after he told me I wouldn't be able to go. I mean the drug that's waiting for me is just more of one I already have, and the groceries I wanted are all things I can wait for, so I'd decided I'd just get all that after work on Friday. But I never told him any of that, so I think he thinks I'm mad at him because he didn't come home sooner so I could go to the pharmacy, when I'm really just disappointed about the lie. I'm really glad that things worked out and he got to see his family for so long, but a phone call, letting me know that his plans had changed (again) would have been nice.

In about 24 hours, I'll have hopefully seen the season finale of Torchwood, and the season premiere of Battlestar Galactica. I'm enjoying the Star Trek books I'm reading. And for now, I am content. ;-0)

This morning, around 3:30am I was trying to figure out more Doctor Who stuff, which is fun for me, but I'm working with half the facts that I need, and won't get confirmation of a lot of stuff until later, though tonight's Torchwood episode might answer a question or two. I saw that I had just missed a call from Mollie so I called her back, and then chatted with her and Karen on yahoo messenger. Karen's going through a rough time right now, so we were trying to help her out with ideas, though I'm not sure there is much we can do, which sucks.

Karen and Mollie used to be my neighbors at Mapleridge Apartments between January 1997 & May 2000. Mollie directed me (through a comment on a different blog entry) to this site where people review their living experiences at different places, and there are several negative ones for Mapleridge that all spotlight the bitch landlord, who I thought only had a problem with us and our friends, but apparently it's much larger than that! Anyways, I told Mark about it and we're planning on writing something up about our experiences there too. Mollie has to as well, so that others can avoid living under the heel of that withered old cunt. I'll post the link again once we've all posted our horrific experiences. Ick.

I left Mollie & Karen on line to do some laundry, so I'd have clean clothes for work. I also intended to sleep, but that wasn't happening so I ended up cleaning some stuff in my roof that I seldom touch. I have this tv & vcr that I really never use, but they're constantly draining power and I'm just sick of it, so I took those out of my room and rearranged some stuff. I need to figure out what I'm gonna do about the new space, but that can wait until later.

I also did the dishes, and continued with the laundry (I'm on my 4th and final load). I took a shower and took my cymbalta. I got Mark up for work, and then drove him there. I also finally turned the air down. It's always warm in my room, but it's getting pretty unbearable in here, so hopefully that helps. I'm obviously not gonna get any sleep before work, so I'm making sure everything is ready for when I get home so I can go right to bed.

I work from 1pm to 5:30pm. Then I have to go pick up Mark. Then I have to go to Meijer. I need to get the rest of my drugs + other stuff, like trash bags, bread, syrip, and chips. Then we'll head home and I'll go to bed. And then when I wake up I'll try to download the new Torchwood / Torchwood Declassified / Battlestar Galactica, and probably watch them with Mark, depending on if he's awake. He said he'd probably go to bed tonight too - or at least he said he'd be tired, so maybe that will all work out.

I might try calling my sister again. I miss her and the kids. And I might get some work done on my room. We'll see.

Before work I did call Janice and chat with her for a bit, and then I did put some more pictures up in my room. I shaved. I was on time for work. I kicked ass in sales again. There was a contest thing going on in the last few weeks and I won, which I didn't expect at all. Work was mostly great. I worked with Brad, Bryan, Ruki, DJ, Michael & John. I didn't have time for my break though, and I worked a bit over as well. After work I picked up Mark and we went to Meijer and got some extra stuff...then we came home, and I went right to sleep.

I woke up around midnight and downloaded the new Torchwood. BSG hadn't been posted yet. When it was done downloading I got Mark and we watched the finale. I loved it. It had some really great moments, and it felt like a really great finale to the 2nd Season.

But now I have a headache. I'm gonna take some pain killer, and either go back to bed...or jump online to see if Michael's on to chat about the finale! :-0)

I did chat with Michael about the episode; he enjoyed it as well. I took some painkiller, but this one feels like a really horrible one, so I'm gonna back away from the computer, and try to get some sleep or take a scalding hot shower or something.

Oh. And when I woke up before, there was news that the 9th episode of Doctor Who's 4th series has been changed from "River's Run" (which I never liked) to "Forest of the Dead" (which I like a lot more, while Mark thinks they're both lame). Also, I now realize that I have no clue how the 2nd half of Season 30 of the Whoniverse goes, and I most likely won't know until sometime in late June. I thought the Torchwood finale might lead into Doctor Who as it did last year, but it doesn't, and so a lot of things depend on how Jack & Sarah Jane arrive to help the Doctor at the end of this new series.

Pain.

First off...my headache is gone, which is fantastic! And my day has gone extremely well. Apparently we've had nice weather today, but I'm not one to go outside much. Especially because the sun is out. I mean, it can be cold and beautiful, and sunny and beautiful, and I'm just a bit jaded about both I suppose. I'd much rather stay in. And I guess that makes me a bit of a freak, and I'm ok with that. I'm a big, bald, geeky, freak! Yeah! :-0)

Even in my dreams I'm a geek. Only in my dreams...everyone else is too. I have this recurring dream element about there being this long buried, extended cut of "Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope", which is then released and mobs of people go to see it, and it's actually quite dull, yet everyone in the world loves it. In the dream I just had I was watching this new Star Wars cut with my relatives in this huge theater, and Janice kept talking, and getting shushed, and then someone else would talk, or kids would start making some racket, and my grandparents were there, and my grandmother actually threatened these kids with violence, and then they snuggled up to her, which made me laugh and then before I knew it everyone was leaving because they all hated one another, but they all seemed really happy about it. As we were leaving I noticed my jacket & hat were gone, but Janice had grabbed them on the way out. Someone in our group, who apparently worked for the stuido said the test screening was a huge success, and someone that worked at the theater agreed because even though no one made it through the entire film, it had sold out, and people bought a huge amounts of snacks and things they didn't finish either. lol.

I also have recurring dreams about Star Trek crossover episodes between Voyager & Next Generation & DS9 that never happened. And when I'm watching them in my dreams, they're my favorite episodes of all time, and Voyager is actually amazing. You'd think that would be enough for my dream self to realize it's all a dream, but I think my dream self is just in denial about the whole crap fest that Voyager became, and so it kind of 'lives' for those moments when I'm not around to tell him that Voyager is a bunch of good moments, and a few great episodes between huge pieces of shit.

I also have recurring dreams in which people want to watch Alien V, and it's the scariest movie I've ever seen. There is no Alien V, and if there was, I'd be the first in line to see it. And none of the films have scared me at all....but in my dream, it really freaks me out. But it's amazing.

Yeah. I'm a huge geek.

So I woke Mark up this morning after I'd downloaded the new Battlestar Galactica and we watched it in my room, which was nice. I had tried to not get my hopes up about the episode, because while Battlestar Galactica is amazing, I've found that the beginning of season's 2 & 3, which have to deal with what they've done in the amazing cliffhangers of the show, aren't very satisfying for me, and I didn't want to feel disappointed with this one. Well, I wasn't. And I think part of that is that last season's finale was a bit different, and also everyone working on the show now knows that this season is the last; there are only 19 more episodes to go, 9 of which we'll see in the next few weeks... The new episode was fantastic, and ended on a cliffhanger. Waiting each week to see these episodes is gonna suck.

After Battlestar, Mark & I chatted more and we were laughing a lot. It was a good morning. I showed him this radio program I got a copy of called "Chain Reaction". It's British, and on the show one celebrity interviews another celebrity that they've always admired or looked up to, or just wanted to meet I suppose, and then in the next episode the person that was interviewed goes on and interviews someone they admire in turn, so that's why it's called Chain Reaction. This episode features Catherine Tate interviewing David Tennant, and it's a riot. Mark laughed out loud during several bits, and I'm sending a copy of this to Mollie with the full season of Torchwood and today's episode of Doctor Who.

After talking some more, and laughing some more, we cuddled, which we don't do as much as people might think, but that was nice too. And this wasn't a sexual thing. Though I did point out to Mark that if Michael and I were cuddling in the position that Mark & I were in, Michael would be fucking me. lol. But it was all good, and eventually Mark left and I fell asleep again, and I woke up around 6:30pm.

The internet was down when I woke up, but Mark set it up for me really quick. And I started downloading the new Who (which just finished - and I'll be watching in a few minutes). Mark has this new game on his amazing little phone, which Mark has been obsessed with for about 48 hours I think. He doesn't even have his main computer on, which is something of a miracle, if you really know Mark. He's just playing with his phone all the time now. It's kind of like that Next Generation episode "The Game", where everyone starts playing this weird video game, but it's really a subtle form of mind control, and the people who gave the game to the crew are using it to take over the ship. (I'm a geek when I'm awake too, in case you haven't noticed previously).

So...I've figured out, and I'm qute sure, exactly how the first 18 episodes of Season 30 of the Whoniverse play out, or how I'd watch them anyways. Beyond those, there is no way for me to know what the order is, except I know what the last 3 episodes are...sort of. I know what episodes 35-37 are; there will either be 38 or 39 episodes this season. Now I just have to watch the rest of the episodes and figure out how epsiodes 19-34 go, and if there are 38 or 39 episodes this year, but I won't find out the latter until around November. Fun.

Anyways, I'm gonna take my prilosec, and watch the new Doctor Who. :-0) Yay! Today rocks! :-0)

I've seen the new Who, and I love it. I think the new theme mix works wonders for the new Season - it fits. I love Donna. The episode was extremely silly and somewhat pointless...except to have Donna reunited with the Doctor...and to lay the groundwork for the rest of the season.

Look Away Mollie!

What was that bit about the bees? I bet that comes back. Actually, I'm all but certain that it comes back in episode 7, which also pays off a bit in "Last of the Time Lords". I loved the references to Martha & Rose and how the Doctor has changed since Runaway Bride. And ROSE!!!!!!! OMFG! I was so happy! And next week's episode looks amazing! Yay! The Doctor is truly back!
