What did I do Sunday and Monday and Tuesday?

I watched LOST Season 1.

I also managed to have a few chats with Mollie, Mark, and Jim. I also talked on the phone with my grandmother, my sister Janice, and my mother. The conversation with my mother was the longest and the most unexpected.

I'm exhausted. But I need groceries. Part of me wants to go...and the other part wants to sleep. I just have to make sure I get the groceries before Mark goes to work...or I'm more or less screwed.

Oh. The Oscars (which I no longer watch) were Sunday, and the awards I cared about went to the people that I wanted them to. So that was a nice surprise. The awards were:

Actor - Sean Penn (for "Milk")

Actress - Kate Winslet (for "The Reader")

Supporting Actor - Heath Ledger (for "The Dark Knight")

&

Original Screenplay - Dustin Lance Black (for "Milk")

I got groceries this morning; not as much as I probably should have, but some. I didn't really have my grocery money with me. I'll have to get that later.

I slept well today.

I'm on episode 4 of Season 2. I'm not enjoying this season as much as the first; I'm guessing twists and turns before they happen - which makes it hard to like some of the characters because it makes them seem really stupid. But I'd heard this season wasn't as good, and that it picks up again in Season 3. Hopefully that's true. I probably won't watch Season 2 as quickly as I did 1. I kind of feel overloaded on the series. I guess that's what happens when you watch 24 episodes in less than 3 days. lol. It was mostly fun though.

I jacked off (for the first time in like 4 days) and showered. I need to do the dishes and trash and pick up my room. But will I? lol

Ok. My internet connection has been sporadic all day! It's on. It's off. It's slow. It's fast.

I did the dishes. I bagged up the trash. I filled the soap dispenser in the bathroom. I'm washing my sheets, comforter and pillow cases.

I'm listening to my muisc on random. Another wacky mix. There was Christopher Cross's "Arthur's Theme" and then "What Makes a Man a Man?" by Janis Ian...and now music from Grease 2. And there was some RENT in there too. And NIN. Fun.

Jennifer left me a voicemail earlier and is available tomorrow night for a sleepover back-to-friendship night if I'm up for it. I haven't decided yet. I'll probably agree to it. I just feel odd about it at the moment.

I haven't chatted with Jim in the last 2 days. I'm supposed to talk with Tony this week... And Paul said something about us going out to eat this week. It's like catch-up-with-everyone week.

The Buffy/Angel love theme just started playing. "Close Your Eyes". Erg.

The internet is still all wonky, so I'm hoping to get this BSG update up before it goes out again. Here are the trailers for Friday's episode - that I may or may not see if this problem isn't fixed. I think it's just that we need pay the cable bill. This happens everytime we don't pay it.

Well the internet is working again (for now). My head is killing me. I only go a couple hours of sleep. I should go back to bed. I'm kind of acidy though. I took some prilosec and some midrin. I need to refill my midrin perscription, but I have to go in to do that. Maybe I can do it on Saturday or Sunday.

After the last entry I tried to go to sleep, but the phone rang. I'm not complaining. I feel fine. The call was from Mollie. Apparently she fainted yesterday and hit her head really hard; blood coming out here ear and eye. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She doesn't remember a lot of it; doesn't remember where she was when she passed out or what she was doing. She remembers someone pounding on her chest, and them turning her over on the board she was tied to so that she could puke. It's her thyroid; apparently it's huge and she has to have it removed. Crazy.

I left Jennifer a message saying I was up for hanging out tonight. I exchanged some messages on facebook with my nephew Justin. I also chatted with my cousin Heather and my friend Ruki. I tried to go back to bed but it didn't work. I sent a note to Jim and then started picking up my room. I washed my sheets and stuff yesterday. I made my bed today, then cleaned up the majority of the clutter and vacumed...sprayed my carpet down with Fabreze. Next I'm gonna scrub the toilet, shave my head (if not my beard), brush my teeth and shower.

Hopefully later I'll be hanging out with Jennifer, but I might not have gotten back to her in time. I've got a stack of books that I'm interested in reading or rereading; books I've not touched in years. I'll try to start one of those later as well.

Jennifer didn't come over last night, but I did talk to her on the phone and she's coming over tonight after she gets off of work.

After my shower I called Tony Johnson and talked to him for about 4 hours. Nice. I had a nice relaxing night. I chatted online for a bit. I saw Corey & Cal. Mark came home and chatted with Corey for a bit. Then I let that all go and I went to bed.

I slept until about 3am, when my computer restarted itself. I thought that it had died but it was just a stupid security update. Ugh. I hate that. But I'm actually glad it happened because then I was awake when the phone rang at 3:10. It was Jim. And we talked for at least an hour, possibly longer. It was nice. We talked about the past and how confusing it was, both because of what I was going through back then, and because that BITCH Lucas was a being a catty manipulative cunt. I'd say I was shocked but I'm so not. I'm not even that angry with Luke. That's just who he's always been, and sadly that's probably who he'll always be. But the conversation with Jim was nice.

While I was on the phone with him, Mark came in my room and asked me to wake him up once I was done talking to Jim. Which I did. He wanted to know about my plans for Saturday. It looks like we might go to Toledo in the afternoon, and then I'll visit shortly with Mark & his mother Maria, then I'll visit with Jim (who also lives in Toledo). That's the plan anyways. Of course I suck at making plans so if that all falls apart, don't be surprised.

After all that I didn't feel like sleeping, so I ate and read the news. Then watched excerpts of the Defying Inequality concert on youtube. ;-0)

I didn't end up going to sleep until around 12:30pm. I was catching up on the last 3 episode of 'The Closer' cause I couldn't sleep. I also sorted files and episodes for Mollie. I stayed up to make sure Mark got off to work ontime. As soon as he was in the shower I was in bed and I was asleep before he went to work.

I woke up when my alarm went off at 4:30pm. I checked my e-mail, and responded to the one I'd been waiting on from Jim. Then I sorted more stuff for Mollie, jacked off and showered. Jennifer called right before I got in the shower to let me know she'd be here around 6:30 as she was running late. I started writing this and Mark called to see what was going on.

Jennifer should be here any minute.

Jennifer didn't get here until about 7pm, but it was like old times when she did. Actually, her being late was just like old times. We talked about all kinds of stuff. She liked my collage. We went out to eat and came back and hung out with Mark. Eventually Jennifer went to sleep on the couch and Mark & I retired to our rooms.

I called Jim and chatted with him for a few hours. It was nice.

I had tracked down an episode of the L Word I'd been missing, so I watched the last 4 episodes which was fun. I heard Jennifer leaving so I went down and helped her with her stuff and hugged her goodbye.

I went to bed around 10am. I woke up around 3pm, but managed to get back to sleep and didn't get up until around 7pm. I've been responding to e-mails and myspace and facebook messages. I read the news. Now I'm just waiting for BSG to be on at 10.

I don't know what I'm doing tonight, after the show. I might shave and go out. I might stay in and read, or get back into LOST. I don't know. I'm kind of clueless.

Battlestar Galactica was a lot better this week. I wasn't overly surprised by anything that happened; I guessed LOTS of things in advance (The song; Boomer; Ghost Daddy), but this is mostly because it fit in with classic BSG (and I don't mean the lame original series when I say that). The characters made sense this week. And I liked that they gave Boomer some grey area complexity with her goodbye to the Chief. I had tried to rewatch the previous episode but in retrospect I think it's the worst episode of BSG since "A Day in the Life", last season. Supposedly next week's episode ("Islanded in a Stream of Stars") is supposed to explain just about everything before we move into the 3 hour finale.

Mark just called me; he's stopping at Meijer on his way home from work.

I sort of feel like going out, and I sort of don't. I'm most likely going to Toledo tomorrow to see Mark's mom, and then visit with Jim.

Maybe I'll take some pictures tonight?

I took some pictures of me with my beard. Mark came home and we talked. I shaved and showered. I got dressed an went to Aut Bar for all of 20 minutes. I ran into this guy John that I friended on Facebook who is some type of record holder in the leather community. In fact it was leather night and there was this thing called CLAW there, which I think stood for the Cleveland Leather Awareness Week. But I could be wrong about that. Calvin from HARC was there (the man who last tested me for HIV) and there was nice conversation and hugs. Tony (this guy I wrote about years ago) and Redcloud were there. It was nice. I'd have gone to Necto afterwards, but it was so late that it seemed kind of pointless.

I came home and chatted on gay.com for a few hours. Mark watched the new BSG. The new one was kind of the reverse of the episode before it. While the older one got worse the more I thought about it, the new one only improved. Hopefully the last 4 hours continue the trend. ;-0)

So...yeah. I chatted with this guy Collin (his real name is Micahel, but friends call him Collin). That went well. Also chatted with this guy Marty. I apparently slept with him when he was 21 and had just come out, back in 1999. That was a really strange time for me. I took him to City Club. It was a nice conversation. I also chatted with Corey...and other random people.

I left gay.com to read as many BSG reviews as I could find. People seem to be reacting positively to the storyline. Good.

I went to a Trek Book forum and left some insightful responses.

I'm exhausted. I should sleep. I'm supposed to go to Toledo with Mark later. I really hate planning for stuff.

I didn't get to bed until around 10am. I kept remembering things I should do before going to Toledo. And then I was all stressed and finding it hard to sleep as a result. Mark woke me up at 1:30pm, saying we had to leave in a half hour and I told him to go without me. I thought he was cool with it. Then he showered, but even though I was beyond tired I couldn't get back to sleep. I called him into my room to see if he could delay his trip by maybe an hour so I could get up and get ready, but when he came in my room I remembered that the internet had been fucked up again last night and so I told him that first - then in his most bitchy voice he said that it was the internet trying to tell me to get to sleep. I realized right away that he hadn't taken it well and that he was going to be a total dick to me and that I definitely didn't want to spend the day trapped in a car with him. I told him to just get out of my room. I was just so disgusted by his behavior. He in turn said he wasn't in my room and left without closing my door. I got up, closed the door, and wrote this. When he's like this it's horrible to be around him. If I had my own car I'd just go separately and there wouldn't be a problem. Oh well. It's not like I don't have stuff I could be doing. I just really wanted to see Jim today, and honestly, creepy as it may seem given our history, I really wanted to see Mark's mother. And then Mark got in the way.

I called Jim to let him know what was going on and we talked for over an hour. It was nice, but now I'm even more exhausted. My eyes are having trouble with the focus. lol. It's probably for the best that I didn't go anyways. I'm gonna try to sleep.

I slept for 4.5 hours. I had interesting dreams, and I woke up feeling better than before.

Easynews is frakked up again (IMO) and BSG hasn't been posted yet. Lots of things haven't been posted yet. Damn them! If the delay had been for last week's episode I wouldn't have cared...but I'd really like to rewatch the twist with the piano playing again, and I don't know how to play back the recording from the tv.

I ate and read more BSG reviews. My stomach feels like it's in tip-top shape. I feel relaxed. And I've been having more soda lately than I'm prone to having because soda usually upsets my stomach...and it probably will eventually but I'm enjoying this normality as long as it lasts. I feel very content by the simplicity of things at the moment. ;-0)
