Sarah Jane was, sadly lame and from the reviews I'm not the only one who was disappointed; especially since the season started out SO WELL.

Don & his roomie Billy were here last night for a few hours. We played euchre. Michael joined us. Later Michael and I shopped. Later still I joined Michael at his place and stayed the night. It was mostly fantastic.

I'm going to sleep soon. My jaw is sore. Lots of me is sore. I have thoughts to think and none of it's fun.

Michael sounds like he's really getting into Doctor Who having now seen almost all of the first 2 seasons of New Who (Seasons 27 & 28):

Rose
The End of the World
The Unquiet Dead
Aliens of London [Part I]
World War Three [Part II]
Dalek
The Long Game
Father's Day
The Empty Child [Part I]
The Doctor Dances [Part II]
Boom Town
Bad Wolf [Part I]
The Parting of the Ways [Part II]
Children in Need [Part III]
The Christmas Invasion [Part IV]
New Earth
Tooth and Claw
School Reunion
The Girl in the Fireplace
Rise of the Cybermen [Part I]
The Age of Steel [Part II]
Attack of the Graske
The Idiot's Lantern
The Impossible Planet [Part I]
The Satan Pit [Part II]
Love & Monsters

He may have also watched Fear Her, but I'm not certain. That leaves 3 or 4 episodes in Season 2. Even if he hasn't seen that last one, he's already seen more episodes featuring the 10th, than the 9th. Crazy. He has the first 27 (of 29) episodes of Season 29 / Season 3.

I've also got Karen watching Torchwood now and given her a list of what order everything goes in.

Mark has seen all but The Waters of Mars.

When the New Year's Day Special rolls around there will be 133 New Whoniverse episodes. 840 episodes overall. With at least 40 more next year (that's Doctor Who & K9 - but we'll probably have more Sarah Jane & Torchwood as well).

I feel like a broken doll lately.

Mark looked up a bunch of places I might be able to check out to see if I can get help for my jaw. It's really tight right now. I'm gonna take my muscle relaxants and try to sleep.

I dreamed I was in my old High School, a wing of which was the hospital where I stayed when I was 17. I was explaining to DJ that I had seen Brian L. I had been hospitalized for my stomach and a female doctor had asked if pieces of parchment held my handwriting, some of it graphically sexual, but it wasn't mine - it was Brian's journal pages that he'd meant to give me but were taken from us for his treatment. I found him then and he moved to me, grasping my face in his hands saying "For I was sleep, but now I'm awake...For I was asleep but now I'm awake." It reminded me of Shakespeare...Were The World Mine ("Your Tongue, My Tongue, Were The World Mine"), we were separated as I was taken to surgery. When I woke I told anyone who'd listen that Brian was there. I got on the school bus, the driver of which drove her daughter home; they had a strange accent; I told the mother / driver that she sounded like Tori Amos. We picked up more kids from the school, including Box & T; box handed me Brian's papers, along with a piece of construction paper with an article about The Cure's Robert Smith attached. I read. There was also an ad that T showed me about someone who had died that I'd never heard of, and several movies that the actor had appeared in; I was surprised and embarrassed that I'd not seen any of the films. I kept waiting for Brian to get on the bus, but he never came and I knew I'd never see him again. As we pulled away from the building "Don't Stand So Close To Me" by the Police morphed into "Tea in the Sahara". I wept.

I awoke with my mouth dry, my throat hurting, hot and sweaty. I climbed from bed to write this before forgetfullness could steal it. NOw I must have water.

Cold Water. M&Ms. Muscle Relaxants. All good things. Brush my teeth and then back to school buses and childhood weapons that launched and crashed alien ships from the sky, while Michael C & I snuck into the garage. So many images rushing past me; wish I could capture them.

Brushed and cool minted an unheard doorbell sent Mark rushing; all I felt was his ghostly air at his passing. He rushed back up with a box for me; the new Trek book; book 5 I think of a series I've not yet touched. More of the dreams fill and empty me. I need to sleep.

Awake again.

The plot descriptions for the final 10th Doctor stories have been released:

Highlights of this year's offering include David Tennant's final farewell in a two-part special of Doctor Who called The End Of Time. The Doctor's oldest enemy – the Master (John Simm) – returns alongside former companion Donna (Catherine Tate) and old favourite Wilf (Bernard Cribbins), as the entire human race faces its last ever Christmas – unless the Doctor can save the day.

It's the Tenth Doctor's final journey – but his psychotic nemesis the Master has been reborn, on Christmas Eve. With both determined to cheat death, the battle ranges from the wastelands of London to the mysterious Immortality Gate, while the alien Ood warn of an even greater danger approaching, as a terrible shadow falls across the entire Universe.

The Doctor faces the end of his life as the Master's plans hurtle out of control. With the sound of drums growing louder, and an ancient trap closing around the Earth, the Doctor and Wilf must fight alone. But sacrifices must be made, and the deadly prophecy warns: "He will knock four times."

There's also a post opening credits preview scene that demonstrates that 'The End of Time' does not pick up right where 'The Waters of Mars' leaves off...and apparently answers a lingering question from "The Shakespeare Code":

Woke up. Went to Kroger. Had an interesting time finding stuff they had moved. Talked to Michael on the way home. I have an appointment to make my new bite guard on Monday, but we're hoping to get a 2nd opinion before then. Also, Mark is looking for work, and he watched the latest Doctor Who Special ('The Waters of Mars'), which he liked a lot and says it may be one of his favorite Doctor Who stories; he says he always likes when the Doctor gets very dark.

Michael should be home by now and doing his laundry. He's not sleeping tonight, and I probably won't either. Might go hang with him. He's planning on watching at least 4 Whoniverse episodes tonight:

28x13 Army of Ghosts [Part I]
28x14 Doomsday [Part II]
28x15 The Runaway Bride [Part III]
29x01 Everything Changes

He has no idea what kind of emotional rollercoaster he's signed on to ;-0) "Everything Changes" was the first Whoniverse episode I ever saw all the way through.

I went to Michael's last night; watched "Doomsday" & "The Runaway Bride" with him. He cried during Doomsday, and seemed to enjoy Donna in 'Bride'. All good signs. He's now finished with Season 28 of the Whoniverse, and will most likely start Season 29 (of which there are 29 episodes, that he has the first 27 of) sometime today. He didn't start last night as he was tired so we cuddled and slept until around 8 or 9am. I got up and showered; I got dressed; we left together.

I accidentally brought home his camera and a thumb drive that got tangled in my clothes. The camera had pix from Cedar Point, plus 2 more of me from a later date. The thumb drive, which Michael didn't seem to recognize last night and suggested might be Scott's proved to be an old drive of Michael's with family stuff and a folder of old hookups or at least guys that he met online - the pictures were dated 2004.

I surfed the web, planted stuff on Farm Town, which went all wacky on me. I had a light snack. I might eat. I need to shower and shave. Maybe hookup with Michael later?

Feel like I might be coming down with a cold; Mark has had one for several days now, so it's not that shocking. But it does suck; I'm sure if I start coughing my jaw is going to be affected, as I know other parts of me already in pain will be. :-0(

I might be able to see a TMJ doctor on my insurance in February instead of Jan 2011, but that's not a sure thing yet.

I was hoping to watch Torchwood with Michael last night; he'd said he was gonna be up all night and I wanted to see the first episode with him (having tried to get him to watch it months ago), but he's watching it without me now. :-( It's silly that this upsets me... I could just watch the episode on my own when I get the discs back, but what I wanted to see was Michael's reactions to the episode.

I think I'm just feeling extra tired (didn't sleep much last night), and a little sick, and I'm super cranky. I should just avoid people altogether today.

I couldn't sleep...so I ate. I took my Reglan & Flexeril. Turns out I can't see that cool TMJ Specialist - my insurance doesn't cover him. :-0(

In the face of this damning fact, I turned to Doctor Who...and I think I came up with an even better viewing order for Season 31 of the Whoniverse. I'm geeky. Sue Me.

Like my last version of this viewing order, Sarah Jane (who has 12 stories spread over 23 episodes, while Torchwood has 1 story spread over 5, and Doctor Who has 5 spread over 7) is only permitted 2 consecutive stories at a time (or a maximum of 4 episodes) so as not to overwhelm her counterparts. This new order allows for more continuity between the series and also spreads the Doctor's appearances out more. The previous iteration had 12 episode gap in which the Doctor, while referenced, didn't appear at all - this order reduces that number to 6, while reinforcing existing continuity. It also helps separate appearances of the overused Slitheen, while keeping the tone of the final specials intact. All good things.

Still awake. Took some Vitamin C, and had an extra Boost. Still feeling crabby and tired. But working on my Whoniverse Episode Guide helped me smile a bit.

In the dream we were in a bar like City Club, only different. My dream version; been there before; many times; many ages. There was a late night tv show that drew me inside it's walls; Canadian. Bisexual boys. I was one of them. I fell for the 'myth that boys belong inside of girls' - for a few nights anyways. The characters...the beautiful boys kissing one another. A blond boy, 20 something, young and lean, facial hair, made out with dark haired boy that was sometimes myself. I found old clothes, (Gift Boxes with Johnny art) & Siouxsie shirt like my own but more beautiful...tight black clothing, cloves and pot. I wanted the buy the theme song when they threw us out...was strapped for cash though; Michael was there...he was one of the goth boys; we made out and the girls were delighted and jealous in their turn. Song to the Siren played. And 'When Love Comes Calling' over the closing credits. And one boy confessed how he was left behind. The Canadian actors were beautiful, fucking, innocent, laughing, making out for hours - men with men, women with women, men with women - all of them - all of us friends. Just like old times I suppose.

My head is killing me.

Tuesday night I went to Michael's for a Who Fest, but it fell apart before it started. Smoke in the apartment. Forgotten ingrediants. Missed episodes. It was nearly enough to make this sad old bald boy weep; this past year has aged me to a raggedy crazy nothing person. lol. Michael & I went back to my place and watched some Season 29 there ("Countrycide" & "The Infinite Quest") before sleep took us.

I had a crazy sexy goth dream which I typed out in my just-woken-up-and-still-hearing-dream-music-phase. Fun. Horrible headache though. Took Midrin; was fine later. Michael went off to do stuff. I worked on Who & got things ordered. Mark went to the store. Mike Anderson dropped by to return my Whoniverse Season 30 DVDs (which he & Emily aren't done with after 10 months - but I don't mind) so that Michael can shoot through them. Michael started watching Who last week I think and he's already watched 40 of 133 episodes:

I chatted online, learning some disturbing facts about someone I know. Michael & I both took naps; his longer than mine. I stroked off a few times as sex for me of late has been something of a pain with the whole broken jaw / body thing. Also burned a TV Disc for Michael with V 2009, Glee, Vampire Diaries, Eastwick & Smallville.

Michael later joined me for Wii Games, Brainless Fun, Meijer Shopping, Tickles & Cuddles. Sleep.

Michael left this morning around 10am. He's going to his family Thanksgiving. He's putting up his Christmas Tree tonight; I might help. So goes the day.

I may watch the latest animated Who episode, as I should have all 6 installments today - though I'll wait for the reconstituted version for friends, I think.

I watched the latest Whoniverse release, the animated special "Dreamland" and I liked it quite a lot. I was worried I wouldn't as the previous animated installment ("The Infinite Quest"), while ok to a point, got old long before it ended, and was almost painful to watch. This new installment is a HUGE improvement in my opinion. Not how I'd want Doctor Who to look all the time, but still a lot of fun. And I was super geeked out over how well it crossed over with The Sarah Jane Adventures episode "Prisioner of the Judoon, Part II"! My episode order has these installments separated by a single episode ("Prisoner of the Judoon, Part I"), so people watching them in my order should pick up on this crossover easily, while other sadly, may miss it.

After the special and a rewatch of Judoon 2, I slept. I dreamt Mark & I lived in our old apartment only it was in a skyscraper in a metropolis. Mark brought a cat home and refused to get rid of it; the cat spoke to me and told me he was there to kill me. I tried to chase it through the building but it began using it's evil cat powers to suffocate me....I just woke up with messages from Michael. He missed me at his mum's house and is now home. I messaged him that I'm awake and got his messages. I need to eat. I've had nothing in at least 12 hours, probably more. And I need to shower. After that I may join Michael for Christmas Decorating. We'll see.

After the last entry I checked my e-mail. Seems Amazon picked up on the fact that they had both replaced and refunded my last order and are charging my card for $33.00 - only I paid for the order with mostly gift cards and was refunded in such - and never used them - so I should really be charged $10.44! I wrote up a response, which was difficult to concentrate on, having just woken up and not eaten in over 14 hours, AND cross referrencing several different e-mails. Mark knocked on my door during all that, just as I was about to write something up and the break in concenrtation cost me a lot - and annoyed me plenty - but I just said "not now" and went back to it without complaint. I got it worked out (I hope), then went to get my food going only Mark was cooking hamburger (I think), which I've never been able to stomach the smell of, and which has recently become openly repulsive to me, so I told him I should have spoken to him at my door so I could have made my food first before he filled the condo with the stench of dead animal, which he then repeated back to me for no apparent reason - I'm guessing he's tired, and sick, and possibly on cold medication, and just not everything is penetrating right now, so I'm writing that off too. I texted Michael to let him know the situation, and showered instead - shaved (a bit before running out of hot water), and then texted again - no response to any of my messages. I think I'll call him. Maybe I can take my food stuffs to Michael's and eat there as I won't be able to eat here for hours now...and I'm so HUNGRY. Having not eaten at all I'm in a surprisingly forgiving / cheerful mood. I hope it lasts. It seems like lately I just keep crashing down.

Talked to Michael; he was watching Who. Mixed a cd, and burnt it. Mark stopped by to make sure there were no hard feelings, but when he did the dead animal smell got in my room (GROSS); I sprayed some after shave scent when he'd left my room; didn't think it would ever get to Mark (Sorry Mark). Got my stuff together while the disc burnt, and heard Mark yelling about something upstairs followed by his door slamming - I really didn't think the smell would get to him as I'd only left my door open a crack (AGAIN - BIG SORRY!!!) - Now I'm collecting the disc and heading out - with my door FIRMLY CLOSED. Love you Mark.

Wish me luck. I'm so fucking hungry. And it's Thanksgiving!

After the last entry, I packed up my stuff and left as quickly as possible. I drove calmly to Michael's where I joined him for 4 Whoniverse episodes; he'd (thankfully) watched me 2 least favorite episodes without me. I had a bit of a headache with the not eating and a bare bulb on display in his apartment so I took some pain killer and eventually had a bite to eat and some snacks. My tummy gave me slight problems but I was ok in the end.

The episodes that Michael watched Thanksgiving night:

29x12 Daleks in Manhattan [1]
29x13 Evolution of the Daleks [2]
29x14 They Keep Killing Suzie
29x15 The Lazarus Experiment
29x16 Random Shoes
29x17 42

I think I enjoyed "The Lazarus Experiement" & especially "42" more than I ever had previously.

Later, we dismantled (for my benefit), reconfigured, lighted and ornamented Michael's Christmas Tree. :-0) A nice memory. Michael let me know he'd taken care of an e-mail thing. And he got ready for bed, as did I, though I decided I wanted to go home for some alone time, which I've spent on Farm Town, gay.com, chatting with Mark, eating, reading, and just chilling out in general. Michael has to be up for work soon. He get off around 2 or 3pm, and says he'll then be home watching the Whoniverse again, so perhaps I'll see him tonight as well. He's planning on staying the night here Saturday. ;-0)

Spoke to Michael this morning. Chatted with Corey, then spoke to Michael. Beautiful fun moments, and so much confusion; emotionally, physically, complete turmoil with moments of passionate calm. That's what I am. Hanging by a thread; a puppet pulled to and fro by strings from my heart to the moon. Some instants are perfection, and then the memory of what was done behind my back engulf me... and I'm broken again. It's no wonder that my body reacted this way; no wonder I'm crumpled and crying...the puppets strings were cut, and he has to learn to walk on his own.

Didn't get to sleep until after noon. I listened to Adam Lambert's CD twice. I've never seen American Idol, and didn't care they had a gay contestant (even if he was GLAM and sort of cute)...it was hard to stay away from news of him on the gay news sites, but the latest news about his 'controversial' AMA performance and his extremely cool response to said controvery got me interested. Amazing voice really.

So I listened to Adam, and I watched 1 of those Doctor Who Tribute Specials they aired earlier this year ("The Companions"), then read some of my Voyager book, which I'm enjoying. I've been meaning to read this one for awhile. There are currently 6 Voyager books that are set after the series (plus a bunch of other books where characters from the series appear). I read the first 2 when they were new, I started the 3rd one but couldn't get through it. I later learned I wasn't alone; that many people had a problem with the the 3rd & 4th books. There was a long break between installments (4.5 years), but the 5th volume got rave reviews, not just from Voyager fans or people that had read the first 4, but for fans who'd never read a Voyager book before, so I decided (against my nature) to skip books 3 & 4 and try the 5th. So far I'm really enjoying it, and don't feel lost at all (though I may someday read 3 & 4). There's a 6th volume on my shelf just waiting for me to get through this one, which many reviewed as the 2nd half of this one (which is itself sort of 2 books in one, so a duology that is really a trilogy).

I slept. I dreamt about friends in a tv show; misfits being cool...then shopping for books for Janice, only to be shown an animated book by Linda Riker...just before waking - something about the making of the 1933 King Kong. I had woken around 4pm. There was a text from about an hour before from Michael saying he was on his way home. I set up plans to maybe come over, or stay home and sleep. I felt more awake as I went so I showered and dressed. Michael was to watch a Torchwood episode, which is followed by 2 Doctor Who episodes I'd like to see with him, followed by a Torchwood episode I'd like to skip, and another Doctor Who episode I'd like to see (which is really good place for him to stop for now - because the next 8 episodes are linked) - is that confusing? It looks like this:

29x18 Out of Time (TW 1x10)
29x19 Human Nature [1] (DW 3x09)
29x20 The Family of Blood [2] (DW 3x10)
29x21 Combat (TW 1x11)
29x22 Blink (DW 3x11)

So I wanted to watch "Human Nature", "The Family of Blood" & "Blink" - I'd have loved to have seen "Out of Time" as well, but there wasn't time (loll) for me to join him for that one, and I knew it. So, yeah, I texted him to skip to 'Combat' and then we could watch the other 3 when I got there...only he misunderstood and started watching the movie "Wanted" with his roomie...so now I'm all ready to go over there, only they're watching this movie, that I sort of want to see (but not from the middle) and not with people who haven't seen it yet (cause I know how it ends - it was spoiled for me).

Michael suggested I come over now and he could stop watching the movie (which he obviously wanted to rewatch) and we could watch Who on his computer in his room - but I was there the other night when David was watching TV in the livingroom, with us in the bedroom with the doors closed and the racket was beyond annoying. So...I'm sitting here, having RUSHED through my 'breakfast' to get ready, only now I'm just sitting here, disappointed, when I could have had a proper meal, only there's no room in my tiny stomach for that now, and it's upset that I rushed it in the first place. :-0(

Erg.

I'm trying not to feel down, but it's not working. I had this mad burst of energy, and now it's all gone and I just feel gutted. Blah.

Slept for a bit, so I missed Michael's calls that he was ready, only he texted Mark to not wake me, but to have me wake him when I woke up as he was going to bed. So I called him when I woke up but he told me to go back to sleep...only I don't think I can now. lol. Our timing sucks today. My tummy is kind of upset. I think I should eat something that could help it later, but I'm not sure what I should have. It's still early, maybe I could get a pizza if my tummy calms at all? I don't know. Maybe I should text Michael that I can't sleep, only he sounded SO TIRED on the phone. Maybe I should try to get back to sleep. I don't know anything at this point.

I had some food. I watched the most recent Desperate Housewives. I smiled. But my stomach is still a bit upset. I'll try to relax. Maybe I can sleep. Or read. Or something. I hope Michael is sleeping well and not worried or disappointed that I'm not there.

Can't sleep. My stomach seems to be calming down. If it stays that way I'll head over to Michael's in a bit.
