Sunday I slept as long as I could before work, which was mostly fine. I worked with John, Laura & Kim. Neat. I was kind of out of it, per usual of late, but so was John. We talked about how odd it is to not be working as much, and how strange it is trying to get into the groove at work again. It's funny how you lose that stuff so quickly.

Monday I watched "The Mothman Prophecies", which wasn't horrible, though it wasn't that great either. I also watched the 2 hour season finale of Desperate Housewives which was fantastic per usual - I laughed out loud, and I cried a few times too - and of course I gasped at the end. I also did the sleeping thing again, which meant I got to go to Necto last night. It was so funny, because I ran into Michael's friend Katie who Michael got hooked on Buffy & Doctor Who - she introduced me to a group of girls who she'd gotten hooked on Doctor Who and they all thanked me, and told me they loved me. They also guessed my age as 21!?! So that was funny. It was a good time.

I left the bar slightly early to shower and change (during which I called Michael, and talked about Who & Housewives) before going grocery shopping. I called Jordan while I was there and talked a bit. He had a dramatic day that was part work and part being a friend, as his best bud Trent broke up with his boyfriend. Ugh. Drama sucks. I let him go so I could check out, and told him I'd call him when I got home...only I then couldn't find my phone, which didn't freak me out as much as you might think, as I misplace my stuff all the time! lol

So, Mark got the playstation working the other day, and I've been playing old playstation games ever since. I'm playing Spyro 2 at the moment. I think the first one was the best; it was just fun. This was has a lot of annoying mini-games in it that bug me, but I want to beat the game again. lol. I mean...the last time I beat it, it was like 9 years ago. lol

I haven't read my book since Sunday morning; I should try to get some of that done. And I rented a bunch of movies, but I've been watching them, so I'm not worried aobut that. This morning I watched "Transfixed" which was WAY better than Mothman; but not a perfect film either.

The oven just beeped; I've got to go.

Spyro 2 goes well (74% finished).

It was announced today that my favorite Doctor Who writer (Steven Moffat) will be taking over as executive producer on that series come 2010 (when the next complete season will air). If Russell T. Davies is leaving, I can think of no better writer to take the series forward. This is good news.

I feel pretty good today. I'm tired though. I'll probably go to bed soon.

Yay! I got a Mollie message! She's not dead; just over-worked! :-0) Which means she's alive. And I don't have to feel bad about not sending her discs this week (to save cash) as she doesn't have time for them at the moment anyways. lol

Still can't find my phone. I've looked under my bed like 4 times. Things always end up there. So often, that Mark asks me to look under my bed anytime anything goes missing. lol I'd e-mail Jordan the news, but I don't have his e-mail addy; I don't know his phone # by heart...and I'm pretty sure he doesn't read my blog. Hopefully the phone pops up soon, as it would suck beyond the telling of it if I lost it 'for real'.

I read a little bit more of my book before bed. The Cardassians are on Bajor now, and the character development is superb...I mean, it's falling in line with the show, but it's also giving the background info we already had from the series a whole new depth, and painting everyone in shades grey. The Cardassians, while clearly in the wrong, are not all just tyrants - and some of them, are really well rounded. All of them actually. They all have their reasons, and they're quite compelling. Same for the Bajorans - it's only because we KNOW how this all ends, that it's so tragic. Erg. Nice.

Again, I'm hungry.

I've been reading that DS9 book, and watching old DS9 episodes. Old? I say that like there are new DS9 episodes! lol. But that's what the books feel like. Anyways, on a random Trekkie note, I was thinking about the main title sequences for the 6 Trek shows, and while I think the opening sequence for Voyager is stunning, and far better than many of the episodes of that show, I think DS9's has more class. The music and the imagery is so much more subtle...yet reflective of the series. At the beginning of Season 4 the title sequence for DS9 changes, and reflects the changes that have come to pass in just 3 short years. It's perfect.

I slept some last night. I wasn't planning on it, but I was tired...so I slept. lol. I also chatted with Michael & Bobby.

I think I'm gonna clean stuff today. It's tough finding time to clean the bathroom, because the smell of the cleaner, which is not fun for anyone, come close to killing Mark, so I have to do it when he's gone, so maybe I can do that as soon as he leaves, and open up some windows and let it air out for as long as possible while he's at work? It's a thought. I'm still kind of tired though. We'll see. And I'm hungry again. What's with the constant hunger of late? lol

Nothing's gone according to plan today.

Mark decided to stay home from work, so he could get some programming done, which kind of killed my hunger for cleaning. I know it's weird, but I don't like cleaning while other people are around. I'm weird. I accept that. Plus, the fumes from the cleaning agents in the bathroom would kill Mark.

Well, then I decided I'd at least try to get some of it done...only I got one of my killer headaches. I took my Midrin and I ate, and while it's better, it's still not gone, which is really annoying. I'm gonna take another one, per the instructions, and take a nap to see if that helps. If it doesn't then I'm just writing the whole damned day off, and I'll just be grateful that I didn't have to work. But if I wake up feeling better, maybe I'll actually get some real cleaning done.

I did manage to organize some stuff in my room, though it doesn't make it look cleaner - and I'm washing my whites... Hopefully that's not all I accomplish today.

Oh. And I found my phone.

My nap turned into an all day thing, which might have stretched on into the night if Mark hadn't woken me up. But my headache is gone. Yay! I'm doing my 4th load of laundry. The dishes are done. I just scrubbed down the counter, sink & mirros in the bathroom. That part doesn't require a lot of chemicals, so it shouldn't bother Mark that much. Go me. :-0)

I have a lot more laundry to do though. At least 3 more loads. I'd like to wash my sheets and stuff, and my towels too.

I'm chatting with Corey while I type this. Michael & I were hoping to hang out this week, but that doesn't seem likely at this point. Jordan wanted to hang out sometime this week as well, and again that doesn't look likely now, and he'll be busy all weekend. Bobby & I talked about maybe hanging out tonight, but that doesn't seem likely. I'm just not a very good planner. At all. If stuff happens, then it will happen, otherwise, I'm not gonna worry about it. lol

Chatting with Michael now as well.

I'm waiting for this cleaner stuff to kick in, then I'll try to finish up what I can of the bathroom.

I got all my laundry done last night, except my sheets and towels, which I can do later tonight. Michael visited me last night for fun and conversation. Tea & Sypathy. lol. Um...right. After Michael left I talked to Jordan on the phone, but he wasn't making a lot of sense; he swore he wasn't drunk though; not sure what that was about. I played Spyro 2 (84% done now), and The Unholy War.

Now I'm about to drive Mark to work so I can visit with my Grandma and sister Janice. :-0) Then I'll come home, throw the towels in the washer; nap; throw towels in the dryer and pick up Mark from work. Sleep more. Then I don't know what. That's the plany anyways - hopefully it all goes well.

I fucking love mashpus!!! :-0)

I dropped Mark off at work and headed to Grandma's house. I got to see Grandma, Janice, Jonathan, Aunt Marge, Uncle Mike, Grandpa, + Mike & Marje's grandchildren Seefus(?) & Moses. I got to play with the kids, and it was all good. I had fun.

I got home around 2:30. I'm trying to stay awake instead of sleeping, so I won't be tired at work tomorrow, but I'm getting WAY tired, so I might take a nap.

Damn it. There's no new Battlestar Galactica episode this Friday, because of Memorial Weekend. Blah. At least I'll get the new Doctor Who trailer....

That nap was cut short by the most horrible stomach cramps...so terrible that I wanted to die. No lie. After I clawed my way to the bathroom, I found I either had the flu, or food poisoning... Losing so many fluids (from all possible sources) that I was dehydrated in zero seconds...left shakey, shivery, gasping, and very nearly helpless. I called Mark to make sure he got home without the car, and he had me take my temp, which told us I needed to bundled up, which I did, on the stairs so to be near the bathroom... I eventually slept, and then Mark was home, before he left with the car to get me water and pepto, and gum (which I requested, as my dry mouth was filled to the brim with the most disgusting flavors). He was back before I knew he was gone, and now I'm sipping water and chewing random flavors of gum. I'm not in pain now, which is much appreciated, and as soon as I'm satisfied that I've inbibed enough liquid, I'll hopefully pass out without any further trauma.

I just woke up. And I'm definitely still sick. I feel the virus in my system; I feel like I'm on the verge of throwing up, only there isn't anything left inside me. Plus I feel all weird from the stomach meds I took... I just feel completely out of sorts. Like I'm lost inside myself and I can't quite find my way back to normal.

I just woke up again. Feeling slightly better I think. Mark's convinced I had food poisoning, so maybe he's right. I don't know. I just know that I feel slightly less likely to hurl.

I'm downloading the Season Finale of Ugly Betty. Perhaps I'll burn some TV discs for Mollie tonight; I'm sending them out to her on Tuesday. Now I'm just waiting for the Doctor Who Trailer on Saturday.

I'm looking forward to hearing Mollie's reactions to all these shows, especially the recent Doctor Who episodes. I don't know if she'll like them or not, though I suspect that she'll love "The Unicorn & the Wasp" as much as I did. :-0)
