I picked Mark up from work on time, and we got pizza (which was really good). Jordan didn't stop by; he just bought a new charger, and will get the old one when he comes back. Mark & I watched 2 episodes of Batman Beyond while we ate. I'd never seen the first one, which was really good. The 2nd one was good also, but I'd seen it on vhs years before. After we were done Mark helped me with some test runs on this avi program, which turned out to be kind of crappy. I started reading The Subtle Knife, and went to bed around midnight. I woke up around 7am. I read the news, and made some lists before heading to the grocery store for a few things.

I'm not sure what I'm doing today.

Bully
by Michelle Featherstone

Go ahead,
You can stare all you want at me
You can rip out my dignity
Take all that you need

Go ahead,
You can kick me when I am down
And when I’m lying here on the ground
You can take me out

I won’t….
I won’t….
I won’t….
I won’t care

Go ahead,
You can label me as some kind of freak
You can laugh and point fingers at me
While I lay at your feet

Go ahead,
Try and squeeze one more drop out of me
Let’s just see how much more I can bleed
Take whatever you please

I won’t….
I won’t….
I won’t….
I won’t care
I won’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care
At all

Go ahead,
When you are finally through with me
I won’t need your pity
Watch me rise from the ash

Something's wrong with my jaw. I have TMJ pretty bad, but I can't open up my jaw as wide as I usually can, and when I try it hurts like hell! I took some of the pills my doctor gave me for neck spasms, with Motrin. Maybe that will help. I'll try to relax...and if it stays this way I'll make a doctor's appointment. This has happened once or twice in the past, but not in a very long time, so I'm kind of freaked out.

Wish me luck.

I did the relaxation thing. Along with the drugs, I took a hot shower, had a snack, and I slept. I just woke up about 10 minutes ago, and the first thing I did upon waking was to test my jaw, and it's back to normal! :-0)

The thing is, I talked to a doctor more than a decade ago about maybe fixing my jaw, as my TMJ is so bad...my jaw pops all the time, and I'm sure it gives me some of my worst headaches... But the doctor told me that that the TM joint is the only joint in the human body that moves both up & down, as well as forward and backward, making it extremely risky to mess with, even in the name of fixing it. People have had some success with it, but there are others who have come away from such surgeries in far worse condition than they were in before the surgery. He said that because of that, they don't like to mess with it if at all possible, and that as long as it didn't mess with my life too badly, it was probably best to leave it as is... but that if something changed, and it got so much worse that it changed my quality of life to the degree...that even though I knew the risks, that an operation that could make my jaw worse would finally be an option. If my jaw had stayed fucked up like it was this morning...I would have had the surgery.

My jaw wouldn't open wide enough for me to have toast...let alone cock :-0) That would be annoying. And it was painful. In my head I was already arguing with the doctors for massive amounts of high grade pain killer...which usually I don't do.

Anyways...I'm back on track now...and will hopefully stay there.

I just worked out a new Doctor Whoniverse Episode Guide, and if there's a special mini-episode this season, then this year's Christmas Special will be the 800th installment of the Doctor Whoniverse. If not, then whatever episode serves as next season's premiere episode will have that distinction. I do hope though, that we get to 800 this season, as it's the 30th Season of the show, and it would be a nice milestone. I also noticed that every 10th Season seems to bring back more and more old faces to the series. The 10th Season of the series (which aired in the years 1972 & 1973) we had our first multi-Doctor story, "The Three Doctors" - which introduced the villain Omega, who returned in the 20th Season. Actually, every story of Season 20 featured an enemy from a previous Who story. And the currently airing Season 30 has an amazing number of returning characters, which I've listed before, but apparently remains incomplete, as I've heard rumblings of still more surprise characters, such as Harriet Jones!

I'm catching up on Smallville; I've watched 4 & 1/2 episodes; I've got 1 & 1/2 episodes left, and there's a new one on tonight. There is a character on the show that I think Mollie would love, but I don't think she'd watch the whole show just for him. She's actually caught an episode here or there though... It's a lot like Buffy the Vampire Slayer... Sometimes it's not as smart as Buffy though. But every few episodes there are big events that make it worth watching.

Mark's still not home. He's working late. I hope he's ok. I was going to go to my mom's house to spend time with her and my sister, but Mark sounded like he needed to get this stuff done, so I let him get to it. I'm going to have a snack and continue on with the show. ;-0)

Mark's home. And Mark is funny.

I'm all caught up on Smallville. I actually rewatched the pilot episode, and was surprised to see how well they've brought back the continuity from those days. Nifty.

In other news...Zombie Jason has returned. I've managed to overcome some of the nasty side effects of the drug, with much effort, but the zombie side is still with me. It's taken hours of thought to get me to this keyboard and typing this entry. There's so much more I want to do...but then just looking around seems much more important.

I've been burning dvds (for myself) and cleaning. The dvds are discs of tv shows I've had on the computer for far too long, and need to delete. I also need to burn some Doctor Who dvds for Wendy, who might be stopping by tomorrow, though I haven't spoken to her.

While taking a break from all that, I noticed some flaws in my new Doctor Who episode guide, and when I fixed them I came away with a brand new perspective on the currently airing Season 30. If the upcoming episode "Midnight" is Part I of a larger story, then it will also be the 800th episode of the Whoniverse. If however it proves to be a stand alone episode (which I seriously doubt that it is), then the 2nd season finale of Torchwood will be the 800th episode. I'd be happy with both outcomes, but I'm expecting "Midnight" to hold on to that distinction. :-0)

I watched the new BSG. Less than 24 hours until Doctor Who. Corey should be here today as well. Possibly Wendy. I'm gonna stop taking the pills every day. Every other day should be fine. I just can't deal with the zombie side effects, which I'll gladly report to the doc.

Looks like I'll be seeing Wendy & Corey today. Cool. I cleaned my room. I scrubbed the toilet. I'm finishing up my laundry. I did the dishes. I have take out the trash. I need to shave & shower & eat. I need to watch the new Doctor Who (which I've confirmed is Part II of III), but the damned thing hasn't been posted yet! Erg.

I got a text message from Jordan last night, telling me he was thinking about me.

Ooh. I want to see the new 'Brideshead Revisited'!

I miss Michael. But I miss a lot of people these days... It seems like I never see enough of anyone; even Mark, and I live with him. Perhaps I'm just selfish.

I set 'The Subtle Knife' aside. I'm finding this one far more dull than I did the first one, which I'm sure Mollie will find quite impossible... And I decided I'd concentrate (for now) on only the Trek books that I really HAVE to read before the new massive crossover event takes place around October. Then I can go back to reading the others in whatever order I please.

Anyways...I've got things to do.
