So, Mark got those pictures of us taken. The taking of them took place during my optimum window of attending Out Fest, and after we were finished, I just didn't feel up to braving the crowds...which is fine with me, actually. I'm feeling kind of...like I need a break. I'm not exhausted, but I feel like being alone for a little while, and getting everything in order. I can't really describe it (apparently). But I'm where I need to be, and that's good. ;-0)

I have a song from the Shortbus soundtrack stuck in my head, which makes me think that it might be time to watch it again.

Oh. And I keep thinking of all these cool movies that I think my nephew would enjoy, but I don't think his mom would let him watch them, which sucks.

I chatted online with my online friend, who was supposed to be in Ann Arbor this weekend, only he's not; he's home with a cold, and with much work to do. Oh well. I'll most likely meet him someday soon.

I also chatted with Preston, who was doing really well a few weeks ago, having found a place to live. But apparently, he was staying with this girl, which I thought was legit, but her dad found out and kicked Preston out, so now he's back with his folks, which is NOT a good thing.

Before chatting with these guys I rewatched the gay favorite "Get Real", which I think would be relevent to a young friend of mine if only his mum would let him watch it... not much luck for that happening though.

After chatting up the blokes, I had a snack, and I finished the final (for now) Titan book. Now I'm about to start reading the final (for now) Next Generation book; it's called 'Greater Than The Sum', and I've been aching to read it for weeks, so it's nice that I'm finally ready for that.

15 days until Sarah Jane. :-0)

I'm still awake. I have no explanation for this. I read the first 57 pages of my new Trek book, but that was at least an hour ago. It's really good so far; lots of continuity, and it's covering all the bases, getting it all right as far as I can tell. But in this state, perhaps I'm wrong. lol

I don't know when I finally passed out, but it was late this morning. I slept well. It was raining, and I love to sleep when it's raining. I like rain a lot actually.

I didn't return to Milan as I had intended to do. Mark took a lot of the fun of that idea and drowned in expensive gasoline. I was going to pick up a birthday gift from my mom, and a computer from my aunt & uncle, but Mark also ruled out the computer being that effective for us, which means, 1 of my reasons for using the said expensive gas was also gutted. I was looking forward to going, but the baloon was deflated...and I still feel slightly bruised.

I'm enjoy my Next Generation book though. I'm just under half way through it. Go me!

Film makes me vulnerable...
that's what it does...
and I am grateful.

So many ideas
thoughts
whispers
emotions...

Movies used to keep me alive.

Oh. Before all this introspection and recrimination...I got to talk to Mollie on the phone and laughed and laughed. It was so good to chat with her. ;-)

14 days until Sarah Jane! Two Weeks to go!

Oh. And the upcoming "The Thing" remake that once announced, annoyed the hell out of me...is not a remake, but a prequel, which actually interests me; hopefully it won't suck.

I traded some e-mails with my nephew Jordan yesterday, which was cool. He wanted to chat on facebook, but I didn't get his message in time; maybe we'll chat today.

It feels disturbingly warm in my room. Damned neighbors.

My stomach gave me a little bit of trouble yesterday, but it had mostly cleared up by the time Mark got home from work, with pizza. After eating, and watching an episode of Next Generation, we went to Hillards to get bottled water. Michael was there, though I didn't expect him to be; he works there. I had brought a contact lense case, just in case we did run into him, as I'm pretty sure his friend Erica left them at our house, and I let him know that Torchwood Season 2 should be arriving on dvd this Thursday. Well, to say that he was frosty was a bit of an understatement. I asked about the wedding, and why he was working, and he answered both questions, but I'm not certain he would have spoken to me if he hadn't been behind the counter. It me kind of hard, though I sort of laughed it off with Mark. Less than a week ago I was thinking I'd be probably be back with Michael soon, and now...well, it's like he hates me or something...for telling the truth, which both hurts and revolts me. Especially since I'd sent him a text telling him I forgave him. And I do. I mean, except for this one, admittedly traitorous thing, he's been sort of wonderful, and I don't want or need to hold a grudge with him. Especially since the damage that was done has been more significant than even he realizes; at least on my end. It's just making things worse...when I'd just like to put the whole thing behind us, and be friends, if not lovers.

We went to Meijer too, where we got almost everything we needed, and then home. I got ready to go to Necto, and went, though I was extremely tired. I did manage to have fun, and met some really cool people, Corrine(??? Who Rocked ???), Paul, Ashley, & Edie. Edie was on her own, 31 and a huge Cure fan. The other 3 all came and left together, and were a riot. Adam (straight, often shirtless, friends with Pat & Liz) was there, with another gay named Donny, who got a bite on the neck from me at his request, and then insisted on my phone number. There was also a boy there, who I want to say was also named Adam, who I'd see with Jesse on Friday - we talked for quite a bit in the mens room. Rob Ward was there as well. Dwayne too. Lots of familiar faces. And a cute drunk boy named Michael (I think) who said he recognized me from Hollywood Video, and I had to explain that I don't work there anymore. It's still shocking for me.

I left early enough not to hear Yoda shouting to the crowd, or at least not as often as he has in recent visits. I came home, and I fell asleep almost instantly. I was just exhausted. I woke up a little after six, took one of my pills, and drank some Wild Cherry Pepsi, which is becoming a staple of mine of late. I just wake up with this craving for it...and I can't believe I already drank it! So amazing to be able to drink this stuff again, even if it's not that great for me. ;-0)

So that was my night.

Oh. And I started the latest Star Trek Enterprise novel. ;-0)

Today is my friend Paul's 34th Birthday. I don't think that I've spoken to him this year, or if I had it was only in brief. He wanted me to make copies of Doctor Who for him; like ALL of Doctor Who, but I just didn't have the enery or the resources to do so. I think he was very disappointed by this. I hope he has a fantastic birthday though. ;-0)

13 Days Until Sarah Jane!!!!

I stayed up. I worked on my website, updating Michael's dedication page with all the photos I have of him that I can display there, and posting the latest poetry, which required me to update other sections as well. It turned out nicely I think. I still have to write something up on the page itself, and I still might do that today, though I'm in no rush.

While I was doing that, I got Mark up for work, he showered and left. Before he left he told me he woke up with Dr. Horrible songs stuck in his head, as I was listening to them in the car last night. lol

I slept well today, having fantastic dreams. I dreamt about roaming the countryside near my parents' home, but instead of the fairly small country estate it became this massive mountain of adventure. It was very beautiful and calming.

I awoke in time to chat with my nephew Jordan on facebook.

I scanned some pictures and worked on my webpage. I tried a few different things on my site but didn't really love any of them. Sometimes I work for hours just to end up with nothing to show for it. Oh well.

I think I might skip the new Enterprise book for now. It's not that it's bad, because it's not; it's actually very good. But it follows up on the last book so closely that I kind of want to reread that one first...and rewatch the series. The parts that lead into Destiny can be a surprise for later, as you're supposed to be able to read the new trilogy without having read any of the other books. I'm not certain what I'll read instead. I'm tempted to read the 5th Harry Potter book, or the next New Frontier novel. I just haven't decided yet.

I e-mailed Michael awhile ago. Hopefully he was just a bit off yesterday and isn't hating me or someting because that would suck, as I'm ready to just move on and be friends.

Politics are depressing. I don't want to get my hopes up, and then get them crushed. That's happened twice, every 4 years now. Ugh. And then the suffering continues throughout that 4 year term. It's just horrible.

I caught up on 'True Blood' and 'The Closer' and both had terrible cliffhanger episodes!?! Ugh. But before they ended, they both made me laugh a lot, which was very cool. I know the autopsy scene (from 'The Closer') that made me laugh would have made Mollie's night. And 'True Blood' continues to impress. lol

I slept well today, but I woke up feeling ill. Hopefully that will pass soon enough. Just after the last entry I was also hit over the head with a migrain that dragged me, head first, through a field of broken glass and pitchforks. It was so painful, and usually before I passout I can feel my meds taking effect, but this time I there was just pain and then sleep.

While I was waiting for the pain to subside I started a new book. Now reading doesn't usually help with migrains, but laying in the dark didn't help either and I was desperate to distract myself, and for awhile it actually worked, before my brain exploded into little pieces of pain. I started reading the next (for me) New Frontier book, which has already welcomed me back into the fold. I love these books. To me they're like a spin-off of Trek & Firefly. They have a lot of characters and references from Trek, but the feel of them is total Firefly. Except there aren't any aliens in Firefly, and New Frontier is packed with them. Still...they are a pure joy to read, and I'm glad that I still have several left to read before I'm caught up. Perhaps I'll be able to read next year's entry when it's new.

The 2nd Season of Torchwood arrived at my door, on DVD today.

I finished the New Frontier book I started just over 24 hours ago ("Being Human"). That's like...extremely fast for me, but it was just so good to be back with those beloved characters. However, it had a cliffhanger ending, which I believe is resolved (and not just delayed - though I could be wrong) in the next volume, which I'm going to attempt to read before the first Destiny book arrives at my door; that one shipped today. Hmm. Reading is good.

I was just under half way through my latest Trek book when I passed out. I slept well again today. I had dreams that had to do with random horror movies, and probably should have scared me, but did not. lol. I'm doing the dishes now, and thinking about taking a shower.

I've watched that opening SNL clip like 10 times this week, and it's still funny!

And finally some good political news.

Everytime I eat these days I take a pill which, thankfully allows me to keep the food down. The pill does this by making my stomach contract, which it wouldn't do otherwise. Since my body isn't used to this, each time I eat with one of these pills I get extremely tired. I took a break from reading my book (108 pages left), to eat, and when I was done with that I almost instantly fell asleep (save for a short conversation with Mark). I dreamt I was cleaning the kitchen again, only this time the kitchen counter turned into the edge of a giant swimming pool that took up the entire downstairs of our condo. When I woke up from my drug induced nap, it took me a while to realize that there was no pool downstairs...and that any erotic impulses inspired by the dream (don't ask) would have to be set aside, as I'm not currently seeing anyone. lol

I just finished reading "Gods Above", but the novel had another cliffhanger ending, so I'm continuing with the next volume (New Frontier #14: Stone & Anvil), which most likely doesn't have such an ending. I mean, I know that the book that follows this one picks up 3 years later, so a cliffhanger would be kind of pointless...at that point. I just checked, and the first of the Destiny trilogy will be arriving today. I can hold off on that to read this one...I think. Damn it! lol. Maybe I should wait and read the Destiny one first; I've only read the first 3 or 4 pages of 'Stone & Anvil'. Or...I can read this one until Destiny arrives...set this one aside to read 'Destiny' and then dive back into this one? I have no idea what I'm gonna end up doing. lol At least I'm suffering from too many good books, instead of not enough of them.

I was looking into student loans and grants, but it's a mind numbing process! I got some info though. Ugh. This sucks.

My book hasn't arrived yet. I want it now! I wasn't that excited about it this morning, but the more I think about it...roar. There's a new review of the book; they give it 10 out of 10. I'm looking forward to reading about Dax and her command, and any references to DS9, though all 4 story threads sound interesting. This is volume 1 of 3, so hopefully I'll enjoy them all. We'll see. If the book ever gets here! lol

I didn't sleep as late as I have been, but I went to bed slightly earlier...couldn't tell you why though.

I'm well over a quarter way through 'Gods of Night', and it's an interesting read. The book is split into 4 sections, following 4 different crews, which are usually in 4 separate books. All of them are interesting, but so far it feels like I'm reading 4 different book, and just alternating after I finish a chapter. It's odd, but I'm enjoying it. There is a character named Naomi Darrow, that struck me right away as being based on Naomi Watts who played Anne Darrow in the PJ remake of King Kong. And it seems that it's most likely written by a white guy, as he takes the time to describe someone's skin color, unless they're presumably white. But those are small nitpicks when it's giving me so many characters that I love. ;-0)

I'm more than half way through 'Gods of Night'; I have 9 chapters left, out of 22. At first I thought the Next Generation sections were boring, but they've been getting more interesting, and even killed off a recurring Voyager character. They just killed off Janeway in a Next Generation book, which the Voyager fans freaked out about in a big way because it wasn't even in a Voyager book, so I'm wondering if they'll be upset about this too, even though it was handled really well, and the character maybe appeared in 2 episodes. We'll see. The Titan section is really cool & is starting to tie the other sections together, while dealing with a serious Riker/Troi problem that I'm interested in seeing play out; it could get ugly really fast (no Mollie comments, thank you). The 'Enterprise' section is getting rather dark and I wish I could just skip to the end of that one, but that's not a knock against the writing. It feels like it's been a long while since I read the 'Dax' section, and that section seems to be going the slowest at the moment, but as it's seemingly tied into the 'Enterprise' section it might have to wait until that one runs it's course? It's an odd read, to be sure. ;-0)

I watched the latest episode of "Secret Diary of a Call Girl"; as usual, Billie Piper cheered my soul.

I'm tired of reading, but I can't sleep. And I'm having obscene thoughts about someone I shouldn't. I mean...this guy is just someone who I would never tell my friends I was crushing on. Well...maybe Mollie, and Mark if he asked, but maybe not.

Speaking of disturbing erotic visions...enough time has passed that I can talk about my secret shame! About a year ago, I had a hot dream about Kiefer. I know. But it's true. I woke up happy too...only to realize in horror what my brain had conjured. I wanted to rinse my brain out with acid. This new guy isn't as bad as that; at least this one is human on some level. It's just perverse.

Oh well. A little naughty fantasy life never hurt anyone.

I went back to reading my book before I finally had to give up and go to sleep. I had 33 pages left. I don't know what time it was, but the sun had been up for awhile. Mark just woke me up because he knows I want to attend a party for my friend Robert, which starts at 5pm and runs until 10pm. My head is killing me and my jaw won't stop popping; I'm gonna have to take some pain killer before I can do anything else. I also need to shave in the worst way, and shower. We'll see what happens after that.

Actually, I just rememebered my dad called just as I was drifting off to sleep, and after we talked for a few minutes I finally got to sleep, and according to my phone my dad called at 8:25am.
