It's now 2010.

Today marks 9 months since my first date with Michael.

And in entertainment news:

The 10th Doctor will be leaving us on this day.

The 11th Doctor will have a 14 episode season this year. K9 will have 26 episodes. Sarah Jane is likely to return, as is Torchwood.

21 days until the BSG Universe is expanded with the premiere of Caprica. Even if this season does poorly and is cancelled, it will be like a bonus season of BSG so it's a win / win really.

Within that 21 days we'll get the final 3 episodes of Dollhouse. I'm not sad about this, and would have been satisfied with only 1 season. It's an intesting concept but Eliza was a poor choice to lead I think; she's not a strong enough actress to pull this one off. When it's great, it's really great, but when it's bad (which is sadly, more often than not), it sucks beyond the telling of it. Hopefully the series ends well. If it does than I'll be able to recommend it to people as a flawed, but worthwhile series - my least favorite Joss Whedon effort. If it ends badly, then it will just be a failure...though a failure that has more promise than many peoples successes.

This year will give us the end of LOST, which I'll hopefully be all caught up on right before the end - I'll check to see if Michael wants to watch it with me. Again, hopefully this series ends well; it's hard to end a series well. :-0)

An untitled New Frontier novel should come out in June.

We have a new Harry Potter movie on the way (November 19), and a new Predator movie ("Predators" - set for a release July 7).

The 3rd Abarat book is rumored to be released late in 2010.

October - January 2011 sees the release of a 4 book Trek series that features a new DS9 volume, along with an Aventine novel (which is basically a DS9 offshoot).

Michael's not coming over this morning after all. This is sad because we're not spending New Year's and / or our 9 month anniversary together. He is however planning on coming over tomorrow night, and has asked if we can delay our celebration until then, which is understandable considering how stressed he is tonight. Hopefully all is well in the world. It's just a bit disappointing. But I try to be an understanding boyfriend. I'll just chill out the way I usually do. Read or something.

"All is quiet on New Year's Day..."

I remember listening to that song in the car on New Year's Day when Jeff broke up with me. The song keeps popping into my head.

I seem to be snacking a lot tonight, but my stomach isn't having any troubles, so maybe that's a good thing. Maybe it will help me heal faster? I'm craving all kinds of stuff. Maybe I'm pregnant. lol

Read some Robotech before bed. Dreamt I was on a tv show, but can't remember which one at the moment - something extremely gay. I woke up feeling like I have a cold. I worked on Michael's farm. One of mine should be ready to harvest soon. My older sister Janice joined Facebook yesterday. I exchanged messages with family and friends. And then I watched the first gay sex scene in USA Daytime Soaps history! Very nice; very romantic; you can download the original song from Itunes [My Confession" by Rie Sinclair & Friends]:

Doctor Who should be available in about 7 hours.

Mark went to the doctor; they gave him antibiotics. He offered to share, but I'm not convinced that I have the same thing as him, or if I do, that mine is as severe. I think he might have more than one thing going on. If I need to go to the doctors I will.

I read. I took a nap. I talked to Michael on the phone. Looks like he's gonna go home after work to do his laundry and then come over; so not here until 3 or 4 am. He has Saturday off though, and closes on Sunday (with Monday off) so that should be alright. He's got Monday & Friday off this week so we might hit Necto. I watched a cheesy Christmas movie that I'd downloaded and given to Michael (at his request); one of those family movie things that's perfect when you're 5 or 6, but lame once you hit puberty, and then almost ok again when you're an adult...only not. It's called "Christmas Caper". It was dumb, but cutesy.

Doctor Who isn't available yet. I just shaved and showered. I didn't do a great job shaving; missed spots and shaved too close in others, but not bleeding, so I'm good. lol. I'll reshave later with the electric.

I should probably eat soon.

Thinking of going to Meijer later to get Michael an ice scraper for his car as a late Christmas gift. I also need new toothbrushes as Mark apparently shot snotty germs all over our tooth brushes and I tossed them; including one that was Michael's. Thinking I'll hit Meijer's and then join Michael for his laundry duty so we can chill together before coming back here.

We're probably going to watch the new Doctor Who (which I've since heard has a few more special guest stars than I thought - plus I think I saw a spoiler that I have no understanding of - so looking forward to that!). We're also starting Robotech; gonna watch up until the spot I'm reading in the books, and then continue on as I read (or that's the plan). Also gonna start watching LOST together.

The Doctor has regenerated. Wow. All those neat little endings. How did Martha end up with him? What happened to hottie Doctor Thomas Milligan? Who was the mysterious woman? Will Alonso Frame be joining Torchwood? (that would be awesome) Will we ever see any of these characters again? I guess we'll probably have to wait and see... More Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane to come.

Joined Michael for laundry, then drove us to Meijer getting stuff for us and Mark, then CVS for Mark, and then home. I was exhausted by this point, my cold getting worse; Mark was cranky, and I was falling apart. Michael and watched the latest Who; I think Michael cried at the end. Then sleep.

I only slept about 4 hours; woke up feeling gross. And I can't just stay home today because I drove us out here and Michael has stuff to do today so I'll have to (at the very least) drive Michael back to his car. Blah.

Here is the trailer (which was not attched to last night's RTD finale) for Series 31 (or Series 32, or Series 5, or Series 1) of Who:

Went back to bed after the last entry, and was nicely fucked. Then showered, and back to bed. My cold was feeling worse. I slept a bit with Michael cuddles, then I drove him home. I worked on my farm, while Michael worked on his, then I left and read some reviews of The End of Time, Part II, which I can say is rather odd, but a fitting send off to the 10th Doctor and the Russel T. Davis years of Doctor Who. It was nicely bookended, and clearly points out that the story that began with "Rose" in 2005, has now ended, yet lives on.

I fear I may soon become the grouchy sick person. :-0(

I'm going to try and chilld. Might take some cough medicine. Sleep & reading are in the forecast.
