Late Friday night I went to the Elbow room to see my friend Elvis play. My stomach had finally calmed down, and as that's the exception and not the rule of late, I figured that I needed to make a break for the outside world while I could, only I was exhausted. Being sick is exhausting, and it was passed my bedtime, but I showered and shaved and dressed and drove out to Ypsi to see my friends. I knew that my friend Box's band was playing but that I'd probably miss the show, as the hour was already late, but I knew Elvis's band (Chapstick) was going on last, probably around 1am. I did get to see Elvis play, and part of Broadzilla's set. Box's band, Mazinga, had already wrapped up though. I did get to see and talk to Box, Elvis, and Box's wife Theresa, who was smashed, but is always good to see. I also saw Melanie(?); a proper ghost from the past; haven't seen her in like 12 years or something like that; maybe longer. But she remembered me. I also ran into people I knew from Aut Bar, and Hollywood Video. I had fun.

I got home around 4am, and slept. I was ill again for much of Saturday, but I kept my spirits up. I played Spyro 3, chatted with Michael, and downloaded BSG & Doctor Who. I went to work to return movies, get my shedule and talk to DJ. It's always good to see my coworkers. Always. Later, I stayed up again, to watch Doctor Who & BSG with Mark. Doctor Who was good, but it's part one of two, and while it was a good begginning, that's sort of all that it was. There was nothing wrong with it; and it was smart and all that, but it was unfinished, and it's just packed with questions that are left unanswered for now, which makes the episode high quality, but extremely unsatisfying on it's own. This is why TV on DVD is so much cooler than watching it as it airs. BSG's sound was all fucked up, so we postponed the viewing while we downloaded another copy (which will hopefully work - we haven't watched it yet).

When Battlestar Galactica Version 2 was done downloading, Mark was asleep. I read a bit, and then I went to sleep as well. I woke up a few times this morning, but got back to sleep fairly easily. I had intended to go to The Blind Pig last night, for a monthly event that they hold called "The Bang", which I've been invited too several times, but have never attended. Box & T go and really enjoy it, plus they tell me the crowd (which is actually crowded) is very inclusive, so that's cool, but with my stomach in wonky land, and Mark wanting to watch the tv shows with me, and me being tired from everything...I just stayed in, and today I think that was the best thing for me really. I wish I could have gone, but I don't regret staying home.

I'm scheduled to work tonight, and right now I feel fine. I just had a snack, and I feel fine, which is even better. I hope it lasts.

About TV on DVD versus watching it as it airs on TV. My friend DJ, fell in love with BSG a short time ago. He loves Battlestar more than anyone else that I know! And I've heard it through the grapevine, though he hasn't told me this, that he feels like the series has lost it's way in it's final season... Which I can understand him thinking, but for me, I feel like it's just... DJ & I watched the first 3 seasons of BSG in quick succession, with little to no waiting between installments, so you kind of get the bigger picture delivered to you. But when you watch a series as it airs, you're left wondering in between installments, which allows you to question every little detail, which is maddening...plus you're not getting the instant gratification that comes with seeing the next installment right away... Which is tough with BSG as the series is extremely serialized, and will most likely not have any kind of real closure until the series ends next year, and even then, I doubt it will wrap up everything. These writers were some of the heavy hitters behind DS9's finale, so I think I know what I'm talking about. If you watch DS9's finale, it wraps up & speaks to an enormous amount of continuity and character developement - but there's a lot of questions after the final curtain, with a lot of potential left unexplored, because there was no way to cover all that; it was impossible - and life doesn't allow for everything to be wrapped up either, so it's kind of expected that a show shouldn't do that either. I got off course here, didn't I? Suffice it to say, that watching BSG (or Doctor Who or whatever ongoing series you want to name) as it airs is a lot less satisfying than watching it all in one day or one week. It just is.

I just finished the Joey Stefano book. Sad. It's weird, reading about dead people, because you know that they are going to die at the end, which brings everything into focus, and yet you (or should I say I?) want the hero of the story to be ok... He was just 26 years old when he died. And, I learned that I had pictures of him up in my bedroom at my parents' home when I lived there...he was in Madonna's SEX book, which I'd plastered around my room; he was on the ceiling, and I never realized it was him, even though I'd seen him in a video or two. Odd. Leaves me feeling melancholy.

My stomach still feels fine though, which is nice. I need to eat again soon though, which is always worrisome...

I miss Mollie.

Work went fine Sunday night. All was good. I called Jordan after work and made plans for Monday, as he's going out of state for 2 weeks and I haven't seen him in about 3 already. I went to the bank, and Kroger. I made tentitive plans with Michael for Wednesday. I got home...and then things started to suck. My stomach started freaking out again. Shocker. Yeah. I know. I took my tummy pill Monday morning, after not sleeping all night, and all but cancelled my plans with Jordan, who I think is probably pissed at me, but that can't be helped.

I slept all Monday, and felt almost normal by Monday night.

There was some interesting Torchwood Series 3 news online. There have been only 5 episodes greenlit for the season, which will form a mini-series that airs over 1 week, though it's possible that more episodes will follow. The five part story will be the first to feature a new head writer, and will also have to deal with the loss of 2 major cast members...within a huge format change. Sounds interesting, risky, and I hope this mini-series leads to longer seasons for the show.

I stayed in Monday night and read. My Cardassian Reading Project had hit a snag. There are some continuity problems, that stem (as far as I can tell) not from the stories themselves, but from a timeliners guide, that I'm hoping is in error, but since the guide is wrong I have to do a lot more reading to fix it, so I'm working on that now. The bright side of that, is that I'm reading the Garak book ("A Stitch in Time") again, trying put all these puzzle pieces together. :-0)

I slept a bit Tuesday morning. I'm awake for sure now. I'm trying to put some mashups in order. Mark is home, trying to fix some drama with our phones I think. We also had a flat tire, which our car company came out and took care of, though there was more drama there relating to what they'd done last time we had a tire problem. Mark seems a bit stressed, so I made sure to give him hugs. ;-0)

What a hellish week!?! lol

There were some good things that happened. Work was fun this week. I got to see Michael. I got to see Jordan. I got to see my coworkers. I finally got to watch BSG with Mark, which rocked, and we'll watch the penultimate episode this year, later today.

Tuesday night I went to Aut Bar to see Jordan. My friend Robert was there, visiting from Chicago, so that was a treat. My ex-bf Franklin was there as well, which was also nice. When I got home, Mark told me that there was some more drama, and now we were without internet service, which pretty much killed my plans for Wednesday. Jordan stayed the night. I had a horrible headache (been having a lot of those this week), but my meds killed it, and we were able to get some sleep. Michael came over later on Wednesday, and copied a bunch of stuff and played. It was all good. Mark was late getting home from work that night...and when Michael went to leave his car had died!?! Mark drove Michael home, as my stomach was starting to get upset.

My stomach was upset all Wednesday night, and into the morning hours of Thursday, but I felt better later on...and the internet returned as well. Mark & I went to the comic shop, whole foods, and Barnes & Noble (where I got the latest American issue of Doctor Who Magazine). Mark & I picked up Michael, who was visiting with his friend Chris, and I invited Chris over as well. We played video games, and chatted, while Michael copied BSG & Firefly. I was exhausted, and went to bed just before they left. I read the new issue of Buffy, which was the final issue of the 'Wolves at the Gate' storyline, and it rocked...probably my favorite arc of the new series.

After crawling into bed, exhausted, Thursday night...the Central Air DIED. And it was so hot I couldn't sleep. It was hell. Next day, Mark & I had some miscommunications and he left for work, shortly befor I had to leave for work, leaving me without a ride, having had little to zero sleep, in our increasingly inferno like condo. I needed new razors, and my face showed it. I was late for work. My stomach was hurling stuff. But it was all good. You know how it is when so much is going wrong that you just have to deal and move on? That was this week in a nutshell.

So after work I went to the bank, and to get some food before picking up Mark. After waiting for an hour for Mark to get out of work late, we went to Meijer where I got razors, Man Perfume, underwear, socks and chips. We were going to buy a fan or something, but Michael said he had a window air conditioning unit and 2 fans we could use, so we went there, after stopping at home to get some stuff that Michael will need to continue working for Mark. We ended up staying there far longer than I expected, still having not slept. Blah. It was nice to see Michael though. Chris showed up just before we left, but before that, I called my ex-bf Paul, who lives near by, only he was in Saginaw, and so he couldn't save me from my boredon; he says we can hang out this weeks sometime...

When we got home we had to get all our stuff in the house. We had to move everyhing away from my bedroom window (which is NOT easy or conveniant) only to find that it wouldn't fit in my window. We tried setting it up in the bathroom, but that didn't work out for other reasons. Jordan wanted me to meet him at Necto so I could meet his friends, and see him before he left for Florida today...and I needed to get ready fast...so we just set up the fans, and tabled the AC until I could return home.

I shaved with my new razors; wore new underwear and socks, and freshly laundered clothing. I was feeling like the day was finally turning around, even though I was still really tired. I met Jordan at Necto, and met his friends Rachel & Mitchell, who were both cute and fun... I said hello to Becky, DJ Jinx, and chatted with Hal, an old aquaintence of mine, while I waited for my drinks. I bought a screwdriver for Jordan, and ordered 3 Cream Bombs for myself, as they're cheaper to buy them in 3's. Then I gave one of the Cream Bombs to Mitchell, who's 21 or 22, and asked his friend Rachel to hold one of my drinks so I could put my wallet away...only as soon as I did this a bouncer threw me out for buying the girl, who's underage, a drink. The thing is, I can see how he'd think that's what was going on, because there was a drink for everyone, but I was going to drink both of those (I usually drink all 3), but then when I explained he refused to believe me and I was ejected from the club, not even having been able to drink my drinks. I want a fucking refund.

By now I had a killer migrain. It had started at Michael's place, and gotten worse all night, despite me having had taken some pain killer. We went to Aut Bar, where we stayed for the remainder of the night. We drank, and met some people. It was mostly fun. ;-0)

Jordan came home with me, and left his car at Aut Bar. When I got home, Mark & I set up the AC in Mark's window, and then put the fans in my room. Jordan and I survived the heat somehow, though it was nearly impossible to sleep for very long. Still, it was great seeing him, and I drove him back to his car this morning. By the time I had gotten home there was a text from him; he'd gotten a parking ticket, as the Farmer's Market was in full swing when I dropped him off! Bad - BAD week.

And I didn't even mention all the drama and hassle Marke went through trying to get someone to come fix our air conditioning. The place that we've been paying to cover us, doesn't. Waste of cash. Then there was this number we had from before, but they don't do AC anymore. Mark called this other place, but the soonest they could come is this Thursday. Finally he found a place that is supposedly coming out tomorrow. Nice.

Anyways...that's what's been going on. I'm gonna attempt to get some sleep... Later, Mark & I are gonna clear a patch to our Central Air Unit so that the repair men can fix it tomorrow. Also gonna watch BSG, and hopefully Doctor Who as well... And probably work on this Cardassian / Bajoran timeline thingy I've been working on for Mollie. Wish me luck. ;-0)

I got some sleep. I ate. Which I'm thinking was a mistake now, as more than 3 quarters of my not so large meal (I gave Mark some of it as I wasn't feeling well) has already returned. Ick. I really need something to make this stop. I can't stress enough how much I need this to stop.

Just finished the new Doctor Who about 10 minutes ago. It's the best episode this season by far, though we've had no really horrible episodes this season, for which I'm grateful. This new one, there were many things that I had guessed ahead of time, but there were a few twists that I didn't, and even some of the things that I saw coming still affected me emotionally - and some of the CRUEL TWISTS really dug in deep. There was a wonderful bit of continuity with "Planet of the Ood"!!! And I got all teary eyed in a couple of spots.

Rating the season thus far:

* = Daleks in Manhattan bad
** = muddled, but almost watchable
*** = average fun, nothing special
**** = better than most
***** = perfection

4x01 Partners in Crime ***
4x02 The Fires of Pompeii ****
4x03 Planet of the Ood ***
4x04 The Sontaran Stratagem (1) ***
4x05 The Poison Sky (2) ***
4x06 The Doctor's Daughter (3) ***
4x07 The Unicorn & the Wasp ****
4x08 Silence in the Library (1) ****
4x09 Forest of the Dead (2) *****

to compare to last year:

3x01 Smith and Jones **
3x02 The Shakespeare Code ****
3x03 Gridlock ***
3x04 Daleks in Manhattan (1) *
3x05 Evolution of the Daleks (2) *
3x06 The Lazarus Experiment ***
3x07 42 ***
3x08 Human Nature (1) ****
3x09 The Family of Blood (2) *****

I can't wait for Mollie to see these last 2 episodes! ;-0)

Sunday was mostly good. My stomach was a bit upset before work, but I toughed it out and that all went fine. I closed with Pat. I worked with Kim & Alex as well. I got to talk to Pat & Cara about Doctor Who stuff which was fun. I got some groceries after work.

Monday I read a lot. I slept. I played some Spyro 3. I didn't sleep Monday night.

Today. This morning I went to the hospital and had my first procedure done. They took me to a room. Lubricated my nose with this giant Q-Tip, which didn't hurt so much as it was quite obvious to my brain that the instrument of torture wasn't supposed to be back there. Then they shot this supposedly cherry flavored noxious gas in my mouth, which they told me to swallow to numb my throat. Then they fed this tube up my nose and down into my stomach while I drank water (and coughed a bit). The tube is connected to this old school lazer tag looking thing that I have to carry around with me, which will record data to be downloaded tomorrow morning when I have the tube removed. I also have a journal that I have to record what time I lay down, get up, eat or have symptoms, which will be compiled with the data they get off the lazer tag thing; there's a button I press to get the time from the machine. The tube in my throat doesn't hurt, but it's an annoyance. And like the Q-Tip from hell, my body knows it's not supposed to be there. It's not like swallowing a dick at all, which is too bad. lol

I didn't complain about anything while I was at the hospital and I'm trying to laugh about the whole thing. Trying to keep my spirits up. Wish me luck!

I was worried this morning, that today would be one of those rare days where I don't throw up, and spoil the test. I needn't have worried about that. Now that I know that the test will have some data on what's happening to me on a almost regular basis I'm relieved, but I'm also getting this almost...claustrophobic sensation, though I'm sure that's not the right word; I just want this thing out of me. So...again...not like a dick at all. ;-0)

Woke from a nap a bit ago. Getting ready to eat again. Really want this tube gone. I'm going to try to be there at 7am tomorrow so that they can take it out ASAP. Hope this all helps me.

I'm working on some DS9 stuff for Mollie. I'm having some trouble burning some of my discs, which I need to get fixed by Monday, but I can work on Mollie's DS9 discs until then, and I'm working on a guide that shows what order to read those DS9 prequels along with Garak's book. These books rock! ;-0)

Wednesday morning, Mark & I went to the hospital to have the tube removed. There was a nun in the office in blue robes. The removal was quick and ouchless, except for the ripping the tape off my face and neck. I took me a long time to finally get to sleep, and even then I was in and out for most of the day with nearly zero energy.

Wenesday night I got a burst of energy. I showered and shaved. I did the dishes. I cleaned the kitchen counters. I washed my linen and clothing. I went to Whole Foods and bought water. I was going to rent some porn but the store's hours had changed, so that they closed just as I got there. I went to Meijer and bought cleaning supplies; 3 packs of underwear, and a pack of socks. I came home...did more laundry, ate, and cleaned my room a bit.

Mark's doctor thinks he has a pinched nerve in his neck, which would explain a lot of the symptoms that Mark has had recently. I'm taking him in for an MRI on Monday, before my physical. He needs a driver for moral support, but he'll also be sedated as he's claustrophobic and doesn't want to be put inside that tube.

Mark is going to the hospital with me today. I have to be there at 9am. I'm not looking forward to eating their food and then sitting around for 6 or 7 hours. I think I should have Mark drop me off or something, and then he can work a bit, plus I can read my DS9 book.

Speaking of DS9, the often delayed but highly anticipated new DS9 Relaunch book has shipped from Amazon and should be here by Monday! :-0) I'm very excited about this book. Not only is this a continuation of my favorite Star Trek series (which I've been waiting more than 2 years for; it's also likely that this book will explain what happened to Iliana Ghemore; something I've been aching to know more about for nearly 14 years! I hope the payoff is worth it! ;-0)

I'm way tired, but my stomach is upset so I can't lay down. I've printed some more art for my room, but I don't think I have any more energy at the moment. Perhaps I'll read. I don't know.

I've heard rumblings about the new Doctor Who episode that's airing on Saturday...and I'm hoping that these rumors are true. We'll see. Ooh. And Friday night or more likely Saturday afternoon, I'll also get to see the mid-season finale of BSG. Lots of geeky stuff to get me through all this medical bullshit.

Thursday. I didn't get any sleep before going to the hospital with Mark. I've been reading the 2nd Terok Nor book, which is filled with all sorts of surprises for long time DS9 fans. But I'll come back to that later.

So...Mark & I arrived at the hospital, and after several false starts, we found the place we needed to be. I was nervous about having to eat at the hospital, since food and I don't get along, and I have an odd history about eating under circumstances that most people wouldn't have a problem with...but my fears were for nothing. I mean...I toughed it out, and it was fine. I was told I needed to eat these radioactive eggs, and some toast with some water as quickly as I could. I was told I couldn't get any of the food on my clothing or I'd have to change into a gown. I told them I'd try, but I asked for a tub to vomit in if necessary, and they said that if any of the food came up the test would be cancelled, as they needed the food in me to see it...which was odd to hear, as the vomit factor was why I was there... But I did manage to eat all the food (which wasn't as bad as I expected) and I did manage to keep it all inside me, though there was a rough patch, where quite a bit of it tried to fly out of me. lol. They even came and questioned me about it after a series of pictures, because they could see that the food was in my throat. The tests were just over 5 hours long, and I'm glad Mark was with me, because he took care of me, and distracted me and gave me everything I needed to not freak out or just walk out.

After the tests, we went home, and then I drove Mark to work; stopping at Meijer & McDonalds on the way. He worked 2nd shift, so I wouldn't have to pick him up until after 10 or 11pm. I went to Hollywood Video and talked to DJ about the tests, and requested Sunday off so I could get some rest before Monday (which will be a long day for me). DJ was cool about everything.

I went to Video Hut to rent 'movies'. I had talked to Jordan & Michael on the phone at random points in the day, but my phone died and I wasn't able to call them back. I had left Mollie messages too, and was wondering if perhaps I had voicemails that I couldn't listen to which annoyed me.

I read. I slept. I picked up Mark at the proscribed time. I texted with Shawn Foreman; apparently he & Jonathan might be coming to Ann Arbor next month, 'just for the Hell of it', and we're hoping that if the visit does happen that I'll be able to chill with them for a bit. That sounds nice. But I'm not holding my breath. ;-0)

Mark fixed my Nero so I could burn some discs for my friends. I slept and read some more. Love the DS9 Prequels!!!

Friday, I went to work, and all was good, though my stomach was a bit upset towards the end of my shift. DJ, Michael & I discussed BSG. This was the first I'd seen of Michael since before his wedding. I also worked with Amanda & Laura, and Bill. After work I went to Kroger, as Mark needed me to pick up something for him; I also bought some groceries for myself. I came home...and found the NEW DS9 RELAUNCH book on my doorstep!!!

I started reading it as soon as I got inside. The book is interesting for many reasons, but it's unlike any Trek book I've ever read in that it's split into 2 sides. You read the first side until the half way point, and then you flip it over, and read the other side. I've finished the first half, which is the actual continuation of the last released DS9 book, and it pays off a lot of things that have been set up previously, both in the DS9 prequels, the episodes of the series, and the Relaunch titles. This section which is a mere 137 pages had plenty to say about Kira, "Second Skin", the Mirror Universe, Sisco, and most of the other characters as well. The other 'side' to the book, which I'll start reading shortly, is this history of Iliana Ghemore, which is something I've wanted to learn about for years and years! So while some might be disappointed by this short entry in the series (and I admit I want more RIGHT NOW) - I'm finding it a very satisfying experience. :-0)

I also wanted to write about an erotic Doctor Who dream I had yesterday! lol. I had just watched this gay German short film called "4 Minutes", in which these two guys are talking about how this girl that one of them is dating, and the other one used to date has told her current boyfriend that the former was a better kisser, and the former boyfriend tells his upset friend that she's merely telling the truth. The current boyfriend says that he's the better kisser and to prove it he kisses the other guy...a very long hot kiss. Well, I watched the film again later when I showed it to Mark, and then I went to sleep. I dreamt a lot of weird stuff, but inside the dream I found a short Who episode in which the 9th & 10th Doctors were compared by Rose Tyler who said that the 9th was a better kisser, and the 10th disagreed. It was the movie only with the 9th & 10th Doctors! So 10 tells 9 that he can prove he's the best and kisses 9, only 9 is obviously the best, to which a clearly aroused 10 backs off and admits that 9 is the winner. I woke up convinced it was a real episode! lol. It was disappointing to learn the truth, but it still makes me smile. :-0)

New Who episode on in less that 24 hours (hopefully), and I'm gonna see if the new BSG is online yet.

Saturday. I was late picking up my dad, but everything turned out alright, as he thought I was early. We went to visit Janice and the kids in Curtis Park, then wen to Little Caesars on the way to our house. We ate, watched The Storyteller and the "Beware The Creeper" animated Batman episode. I helped Jordan with a cd, and gave Janice this candy she used to eat all the time when we were kids. It was a nice visit.

Later, we drove my dad out to Abe's, then went to Michael's to return the AC unit he lent us in our time of need. THANK YOU Michael ;-0) Chris was there and I said hello to him, and we all chatted a bit. Then we followed Michael to his grocery store job as he'd noticed that they carry this bottled water that we love. We stopped at Borders for a bit then came home and started downloading the new Doctor Who while we watched Battlestar Galactica, which was an interesting stopping point for the series - then we watched Doctor Who, which I fell asleep during, as I had a bit of a headache, and I thought the episode was kind of lame. I'll rewatch it later, as apparently I missed some important references, and perhaps I'll like it better the 2nd time around. Next week's episode looks awesome though, and all 3 episodes taht have yet to air sound extra cool.

I rewatched yesterday's Doctor Who episode early this morning, and I enjoyed it a lot more the 2nd time around. It's nowhere near my favorite episode, but it's above average in many respects. David Tennant's performance is off the charts. There is a wonderful creepy factor to the story. There are fun references and a lovely cameo. And I don't think I've ever felt so afraid for the Doctor.

I slept very well today. Thankfully.

I finished the new DS9 book. Oh. My. Goddess. Fantastic. So many amazing things in such a short book. The first section of the book, is all about continuing where the last volume (which came out a couple years ago) left off. It was great to see my characters again, with a wonderful cameo by Garak that almost had me in tears; happy tears. There were also some brilliant theories about DS9's Mirror Universe story that made me rexamine them in a new light, and a few brilliant crossovers with Terok Nor Prequel Trilogy! And though there was a cliffhanger ending, I think I might know what's coming, and if I'm right...I'm way cool with it. The 2nd half of the book explains the history of Iliana Ghemor, who's character was described in the series, and has returned in the books, but without explanation, until now. And the answers were worth the wait. Her history dovetailed nicely with the Terok Nor books, while connecting some of my favorite episodes, and then using them to make her charcter even more complex than I had imagined she was!!! And the revelations about Gul Dukat were stunning; dark & brutal; adding even more layers to a charcter that was already extremely complex and rich. And all of this was accomplished in a rather scant number of pages. I'm extremely happy with this volume, and I can't wait for the next one. I'm hoping it will arrive next year. :-0)

Tonight sucks. I've been puking for 5 hours. Ick. It hasn't been this bad in a couple weeks. My throat hurts. I'm tired. And I have to take Mark to the hospital in under 4 hours. I think I might cancel my physical, which is scheduled for 2:30pm. We'll see.

I cancelled my physical. My throat is ripped raw. I took Mark to get his MRI. Then I mailed Mollie some discs, and took Mark to McDonalds, where I got nothing, as I can't even keep my pills down, so I'm kind of screwed for now...and really don't want to throw up anymore. I'm gonna try to sleep.

Can't go to bed. Mark's arm is doing something funky; they missed his vein and there could be issues; so we have to go to the ER. I'm so fucking tired. And my throat is killing me.

I got to sleep for awhile. Later I had a shake, with some vitamin c, and watched some fantastic DS9 episodes with Mark; episodes that strongly tied into the new DS9 novel. Lots of fun. Except that at the end, Mark was going on about how Kira is a unreformed terrorist and that she deserved to die. I agree, that Kira isn't perfect, but neither are the Cardassians, and to take one side over the other, and based on 2 episodes is extremely simplistic...

I burned a dvd for Wendy, but when I tried to burn the 2nd one it failed, twice. This bums me out. I've lost at least 14 discs to errors recently, and I'm pretty sure it's not because of the discs (which are expensive). :-0( I'd like to mail these to her later today, but if I can't get this one burnt then there's no point. I could probably fit another episode on there, and mail it to her next week... Erg.

I don't know if my throat is feeling slightly better, or if I'm just getting used to the pain.

My 'cold' might just be allergies. My throat feels 90% better, and apart from some watery eyes, and slight tickle in my throat I feel fine.

Someone posted 2 of the 1st Doctor serials that I don't have, which I'm downloading now. This will leave only 2 of the complete Doctor Who Serials that I won't have copies of; both of them 1st Doctor Stories. I'm very excited about the next 3 episodes of New Who, as they sound fantastic. I'm considering going back and watching the old serials that feature Davros, the creator of the Daleks, as he's coming back very very soon. Davros appears in:

Genesis of the Daleks [1975] 392-398
Destiny of the Daleks [1979] 507-510
Resurrection of the Daleks [1984] 624-625
Revelation of the Daleks [1985] 649-650
Remembrance of the Daleks [1988] 679-682

Thursday was much the same as Wednesday. Friday I worked with DJ, Bryan, Kim, Bill, Laura & Amanda. The district manager (Dennis), the regional manager (Gary), and another district manager in training (Tim) were all at the store for quite awhile. It's never fantastic having the higherups around; but it didn't bother me as much this time, and actually, Tim made a point of complimenting me on trading my movie knowledge with customers, which was nice. He overheard me talking to a customer about a movie they were renting, and what other movies the stars were in - it was a cool thing for a manager to overhear, because the customer reacted somewhat negatively to something I said, and I used my info to turn it around on her, and make it positive. It doesn't always go that way, but that pretty much ensured my good day at work, despite have a slight stomach problem after I ate.

I rewatched Harry Potter 5. Great movie. Fantastic book. I'm aching to re-read the series, and I might do so after I finish the DS9 book I'm reading now. I'd also like to get to the next New Frontier book soon. These DS9 books are great, but I like to mix it up a bit.

New Doctor Who today. I'm so psyched about it, but a little sad, as in just 2 weeks time the season (not including the Christmas Special), will have ended - and there won't be another season of this length until at least 2010. Still, what we've been getting has been pretty fabulous. Tonight's episode is supposed to be a HUGE Donna episode, plus Rose is finally back, so I expect I'll enjoy it quite a lot. :-0)

Michael is coming over later today to get his computer, but I don't think we'll have time to hang out, as he's got a busy day planned. He left me a message about maybe hanging out later in the week, which would be nice.

I'm anxious to get my test results back on Monday. I work on Sunday, Tuesday & Friday.

I need to call Jordan. He wants to hang out soon too. Maybe tonight? Not sure.

I slept after getting home last night, which was what I needed, but I woke up with a horrible headache; very intense pain. Thankfully, my midrin kicked it good. I still might take a long hot shower though, as those always seem to make me feel better.

I've been extra worried about Mollie lately, as I haven't been hearing from her, and she's almost constantly in my thoughts. I got a text message from her last night though, which says she's just depressed about her situation, and who can blame her really? I wish there was more that I could do for her. I'd beg her to come live with us if I thought that she would. But she's got her mother to worrry about. And her brother. We'd have room for Mollie, but I don't think we have room for Kenny. I wish we did, because I think if we could take them both in, there might be some small chance that I could get them to move back home now. Mollie would get a great job here in no time, and we'd both enjoy her wonderful laughter, which I'm guessing isn't filling up her life at the moment.

I watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith this morning. I've rented it a couple times, but this is the first time I've actually taken the time to see it. It was ok. Nothing special really, but it wasn't bad. There was a reference to one girl's girlfriend, so I'll add it to my shelf of movies someday. It made me laugh a couple of times. But I started getting tired again about 3 quarters of the way through the movie and went back to sleep when it was over; probably around 8 or 9am. I'm guessing, because I didn't really look at the clock before I closed my eyes.

I had strange but enjoyable dreams.

I woke up at about 4pm.

No one had posted the new Who, but I checked, and it had definitely aired. I used to make cds for my friends, and I'm sure lots of people did/do. But I've kept copies of almost all the cds I've made for people, on my computer, and I've been listening to all the cds I've made for people over the years latley. A few weeks ago it was Mollie, then Amber & Laurie & Maggie. Those Maggie cds were awesome; now I wonder why I bothered? Now it's Shawn's turn. Loving these tunes. And this 1st cd was the first cd I ever burned.

So while I've been listening to that, and trying desperately to not read the synopsis of the new Who episode, as I've seen that it's already been posted, as have reviews, - my stomach has been upset. I've distracted myself with the music, and checking for that episode, which someone is in the process of posting, thank Joss. My stomach actually feels 80% better than when I woke up, so that's cool. When it's completely calm, I'll give Jordan a call.

I wonder if Michael came to get his computer while I was asleep? Or maybe he's coming after he gets off work? I don't know.

The new Who was FANTASTIC. Filled with surprises and references to things that I never expected. And it's really starting to feel like this season will end with a HUGE payoff for fans that have stuck around for all of new Who, plus Sarah Jane and Torchwood. It's a typical epic finale, but on a massive scale that they've never attempted before. I can't stand this waiting for the next one. The trailer for the next episode is so beyond cool that I screamed like 4 times as it ran. lol

I talked to Jordan on the phone for a bit; we're going to try to hang out Monday.

I talked to Mollie for a bit as well. The last 2 discs I sent her worked great, so that's a relief. She was going to watch the new Who episodes, and then call me, but I haven't heard back from her, and I've left messages so I'm assuming she passed out. I'm really aching to hear how she enjoyed the four episodes I sent her, and it's killing me trying not to spoil the final 3, which as I said, I'm enjoying quite a lot!

Michael came over after he got off work, and I watched him watching the new episode, which was a joy. We had a blast, I think. It was nice to see him, and I showed him the new pictures in my room, and we talked about a lot of stuff. It was nice.

Mark and I had a great day as well, with a lot of time spent together, and a lot of laughter. Saturday was a truly great day. Even though my stomach was upset, it wasn't as upset as it could have been, and I'm not knocking it. I'm taking all the good stuff and holding it close, and trying to overlook the bad. It was a great day. ;-0)

I'm still glowing from last night's Doctor Who. I can't believe it's only been half a day or so since I watched it. This week is going to be HELL. lol

My stomach is killing me. I had some mild cramping...and other stuff, so I took some pepto...and got into a hot bath to relax. Only shortly thereafter the pepto came projectile vomiting out of me. It was gross, but oddly pretty when mixed with the bath water? That's about as close to a silver lining as I can get at the moment. Everything else about this morning is sucking. At least yesterday was nice.

I took one of my stomach pills Sunday morning and that helped my day go better. I worked Sunday night, with John & Laura. I wasn't thrilled about going in after the pain and horror of my morning, but then I had a whole series of really good interactions with customers that really brightened my spirits. :-0)

Monday. My appointment went well. I got my results, and they've found that I have delayed gastric emptying, or that food just stays in my stomach far longer than it should. They prescribed the usual drug, which is Metoclopram (a substitute for Reglan), and while I've been able to actually feel the medication working, it's not clearing up all my symptoms, which doesn't worry me - as they started me on the lowest dose, and told me to call if I needed that adjusted, which I'll do today. If this does work for me, it could mean a whole series of positive changes for me. Wish me luck! :-0)

My new DVD Burner arrived Monday, and Mark got it working, and it's like a dream! It's super fast, and seems to work far better than my older one ever did.

On the Doctor Who front, it's been announced that the finale this year will run longer than even last year's finale, and have an approximate running time of an hour - like the annual Christmas Specials. When I saw last year's finale, I thought it might have been better if they'd edited it down a bit, but this season has so many big ideas, stories and...spoiler ridden stuff, that I'm sure they actually needed that extra time. And I'm aching for it. :-0)

I work today. And I have to call in the dose change with the nurse. And I'm taking some discs in to work for DJ and Jean. I'm hoping to see Jordan tonight, or maybe tomorrow; he's going off to Florida again on Friday, so I'd really like to see him before then. Michael wants to spend some quality time with me as well, possibly over Doctor Who on Saturday... I work on Friday.

Oh. And I got to talk to Mollie. Things have been horrible for her lately, but she's got some possibly good news on the horizon, and I'm sending her BIG LOVE. :-0)

Oh. And Chris's graduation party is on Saturday. That will be fun. To see Bryan & Chris and Robert and Diana, and other people from work. :-0)

I'm gonna try to get some sleep.

But did I mention how fucking amazing the next Doctor Who looks!?!

Can't Sleep. Acidy vomit problems. I think the new dose will probably help with that... I'm so tired though. Hopefully I won't have this problem for much longer.

Ugh.

I'm gonna call that nurse line about the dose change. It's a voicmail thing; they'll call me back later. Preferable before I'm at work.

I can't seem to sleep. So I did other stuff instead. I responded to some e-mails. I cleaned the kitchen counters, and did the dishes (2 loads), and put them away. I did 3 loads of laundry. I cleaned out my closet, and tidied up my room. I tracked down a ton of new art, and put up 11 more pictures. I sorted stuff in the refridgerator. I scrubbed the toilet, and sprayed down the shower curtain and bathtub with cleaner, which will hopefully dissipate by the time Mark gets home from work.

And now I'm exhausted. But I've earned it.

I'm supposed to see Jordan today, but I'm guessing that will have to be moved back to tonight.

I didn't see Jordan on Wednesday; he shipped out to Florida early, which left me disappointed. Then there was more darkness to follow... It was an off kind of night. Eventually I pulled myself out of it, only to have my stomach explode, which forced me to take one of my stomach pills which left me zombified for much of Thursday. I did manage to get a chunk of my room done while listening to multiple versions of "In This Twilight" by NIN; I fricking love this song!!!

In This Twilight

watch the sun,
as it crawls across a final time
and it feels like,
like it was a friend.
it is watching us,
and the world we set on fire
do you wonder,
if it feels the same?

and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
as your time is running out
let me take away your doubt
you can find a better a place
in this twilight

from dust to dust,
ashes in your hair remind me
what it feels like
and I won't feel again
night descends
could I have been a better person
if I could only do it all again

and the sky is filled with light
can you see it?
all the black is really white
if you believe it
and the longing that you feel
you know none of this is real
you will find a better place
in this twilight
----------------------------

Yum. Just...Yum. :-0)

Something fantastic did happen on Thursday. I got the last of the complete Doctor Who serials and I now have them all!!!

Hopefully, sometime within the next 42 hours or so, I'll be watching Part II of the 3 Part Doctor Who finale. I'm aching to see the new installment, and even more excited to see the finale the week after.

I've rewatched the last episode of Doctor Who ("Turn Left") a couple of times now. I love it. I've also recently rewatched "Rose", "The End of the World", "The Runaway Bride", "Smith and Jones", "The Shakespeare Code", "Gridlock", "Utopia", "Invasion of the Bane", "The Unicorn and the Wasp", "Adrift", "Silence in the Library", "Forest of the Dead", "Whatever Happened To Sarah Jane, Parts I & II", "The Poison Sky" & "The Doctor's Daughter". I'm thinking I'll continue watching random epsidoes between now and the finale + I need to finish "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" which I'm loving.

I made a list the other day of characters places and things returining / revisted in this final 3 parter (or 4 parter if you count the Christmas Special) and without having seen 3 of these 4 installments, I was able to make a list of more than 30 items, plus several more that are mentioned or referenced. I'm in continuity porn sugar shock! :-0)

I work today. I need to get some groceries after work, but Mark needs to be home by seven for some kind of project. We'll see how this all goes.

I'm excited to be working on my room again.

I slept for about 3 hours; waking up around 8:15am. Mark was in the shower, and even though I hadn't slept that long I felt like I had a lot of energy, and doubted I'd get back to sleep. I jumped in the shower with Mark, and shaved. I drove Mark to work; stopping at Meijer for cards, socks & underwear. I've been buying a lot of socks and underwear lately. I don't know why. I just...have this random need at the moment. lol

After dropping Mark off at work I went to Staples for more poster tape (I went through 4 rolls last night), then to Kroger for some groceries. I wanted some light eating so I got some salads, salad dressing, yogert and some low fat chips. I had a yogert when I got home, and I wrote this. I'm pretty much ready for work, when I don't even have to head out for another couple hours. I might work on my room some more; I've found that very satisfying of late.

I'm enjoying the day, but I'll probably extremely tired tonight. lol

I was early for work on Friday, and the first half of my shift was fantastic! I had great customers; helped peopled that appreciated it; and got a few compliments. I worked with DJ, Bryan, Mike, Bill & Laura. The 2nd half of my shift was slightly marred by some horrific customers, though Mike told me he admired how well I dealt with one of them... And I was becoming increasingly stressed by Mark's feud with the other condo peeps. I don't want to go into detail about that, because just thinking about it upsets me, and I don't like being stressed out.

Mark & I made it home fairly quickly, and I went right to bed. I've been having my headaches pretty frequently this week, and I just wanted to go to sleep. I had a horribly long, intense nightmare in which I woke up and went downstairs to find that Mark had been shot and killed. I called Mollie in the dream and told her I needed her. I called 911. I call my sister Janice and she came to the Condo. Mollie showed up pretty fast too; having left TN behind and moved in with me to take care of me, as I was pretty broken. Mollie got a job at UofM Hospital, and I let her think I was ok. Instead I got a gun, tracked down the guy that shot Mark, shot him through the head several times, then shot myself to avoid prison, which is when I woke up. I was afraid to go downstairs for about an hour because I was worried I'd find Mark dead on the floor.

Mark handled my stress well, and hung out in my room with me. Michael visited me later too. I'd taken some Midrin, as my headache had returned with a vengence, and chatting with Michael, and cuddling seemed to kill the pain fairly quckly, for which I'm extremely grateful. Michael stayed until around 4:30am, or something close to that. I invited him to join us at Chris's graduation party...which we'll most likely be heading to around 6pm, which is the same time Carrie & Adam are going, so that rocks.

Good news. I haven't thrown up in over 24 hours. The pills do seem to help, but I've got to figure out how to balance them out. My stomach exploded again about an hour ago, so I took another pill...and while the Zombie-like-effects still hit me pretty hard, the other side effects seem to fade a lot faster, and that's good news too. If I can get this stuff under control, it won't be perfection, but it will be the best thing to happen to me in 7 years.

I'll hopefully have Doctor Who sometime in the next 12 hours or so. I was rewatching last week's episode again, when I noticed a surprise cameo that I had completely missed before, which was understandable, given the nature of the appearance. I double checked it though, and it just makes me love the episode even more. :-0)

I'll probably sleep some more, and work on my room a bit. I've got that party at 6pm. And Doctor Who might even be available before then, but I'm not holding my breath. :-0)

Insane Dreams I Had!

I dreamt about the end of Doctor Who. Rose & the Doctor magically reunited. I dreamt Mark & I were driving home from where we saw the episode, and remembered we were supposed to be at this huge event, and went to this little hick town and stopped at this fast food joint for directions, which had no floor; it was winter and there was snow everywhere inside, and when we were leaving Mark got out and checked the tires to see if they were flat. They weren't, but the car was moving forward, with me inside it, despite the parking break being on - we ended up hitting another one of the cars in the lot, which were all owned by scary townsfolk, ala Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Mark made a run for it, but this other car chased us and trapped us (after a long movie style chase in which the truck that was chasing us sometimes looked like a police car). Mark told me to hide, but I got out when I thought things were clear, only they weren't. They tortured us; me even more so because they got a bigger reaction out of me, and Mark too when they hurt me. They took us to a hotel, where my ex-gf Jennifer was also being held captive. Chris & Bryan and some they're friends from the party were there, prisoners as well. They gang raped us. The guy that eventually fucked me, was actually a really cute boy I went to school with, and he was actually really good at it so I didn't mind as much as I should of. He had been fucking Jennifer, but one of the others pushed him aside. When he came up behind me I thought he was going to fuck the mouth of the captive beneath me, and he did for a moment, but then he said he wanted into my "slit". I noticed that he was wearing a condom, and I figured there were far worse things...and so let it happen...and it was fucking amazing! Eventually things turned ugly again, though the cute one remained nice. We all overpowered our captors, and eventually they were arrested. We all stayed in the hotel trying to recover from the experience. Some of the rapists, inexplicably, also stayed. Chris was telling her cousin, who was one of the victims, that he should have known that men could have sex with men. Bryan was counciling our former oppressors about safe sex. I wanted to fool around with the hot rapist again, but the others wanted in first, so I started to take them all on. It seem we were all friends again? We watched some tv movies from the UK & America. Both featured a hot English guy who was raped, but he said he felt more violated in the American film, even though it was less graphic. I wandered the hotel. I stayed with my parents for awhile, but on the day they returned home, the house had become infested by baby spiders that grew too larger too quickly. They had eaten the mother spider. My mother didn't seem worried and it turned out she sas a doctor who fan. I was happy that our cat Harry, who also vactioned with my family, was home, but he wandered off before I could pet him. My sister Jamie was nice to me. Later I returned to the hotel where 2 of the rapists had reverted back to their insanity. One of them had killed Jennifer and was preparing to kill me and rape me again. I had stumbled onto the plot, while remote controlling an ant; a robotic insectoid ant from outer space. It was cool. Until I used it to eat one of the spiders that had followed me back to the hotel, which was just desgusting - which is what I saw right before rapist murderer boy came at me. I had the robitic ant in my hand and stabbed it right into his face! I ran back to the hotel room and told everyone (now a massive number of people), that the few of the former bad guys were now monsters again. I was delighted to see that the guy that raped me the first time, was still on our side, still helping us bar the door. One of the other male victims (Chris's cousin), who had then questioned his sexuality, was making out with another guy. Another of the supposedly reformed rapists came up to us with a shotgun, but he actually was reformed and when he got the door open from our side, he blasted the lead meanie's face off. The police arrived and all were rescued. I hugged Rose, who was also there, and I wept. Jennifer, who was now alive, wanted to take me somewhere to celebrate. She took me back to a room in my parents house and wanted me to lay down on the floor where the spiders were. I told her no but she pulled me down, and then I woke up.

Crazy I tell you! But you probably figured that part out for yourself. Blah.

And now...I go back to sleep.

I didn't go back to sleep. I decided to wake up Mark so we could watch Bladerunner on Blu-Ray. He's also going to make me some cinnimon rolls. Yum! Um...so I had him read my blog, and we talked about how everything in the dream makes sense, given recent events...after it's been filtered in the blender of my brain! lol

Ok. Now I'm going to talk about last night's Doctor Who...not a lot, but some...so anyone who hasn't seen it yet needs to leave RIGHT NOW.

Ok. That should do it. Again - leave now if you don't want to be spoiled.

Ok. You've been warned.

First off. As last night's episode was Part II of III, it was less satisfying an installment in my opinion, because middle chapters always are. That might change after seeing Part III, as is also the case with middle chapters - if the final installment is awesome, the middle proves more enjoyable - if the ending sucks, then the middle installment remains a waste. So, next week is the clincher, but I don't think we'll be disappointed.

The Doctor Regenerating. I don't buy it. I mean...I have no reason to doubt it, but I somehow think Donna will save the day. I don't know how or why or where or whatever, but all this stuff about her being special, and other worlds forming around her, and the Shadow Proclamation girl saying that Donna was "new"...and that moment where everything was reduced to Donna staring into space with her heartbeating...I just think Donna is key to what's happening, or going to happen, and I don't know exactly how that is.

I'm also wondering if Myfanwy (Torchwood's pet pterodactyl) might save Gwen & Ianto? I have no clue who will save Sarah Jane Smith? Maybe Mickey & Jackie? Harriet Jone's demise was touching, and I liked the shout out to Mr. Copper, though I'm not sure I understand why he would create such tech? The bee thing didn't strike me as that cool the first time I watched it, but the 2nd time it seemed to fit better. The Shadow Proclamation fit, and the Judoon. The Medusa Cascade didn't make sense to me at first, because I didn't see how the doctor mentioning it was related to the Daleks being there, no matter what time they were in, but then I figured it didn't really have anything to do with it - he just wanted to show it to Donna because of his history there. The crazy Dalek Caan was...sort of annoying, but less so the 2nd time...I think.

Now I'm gonna go watch Bladerunner with Mark. :-0)
