   Sunday, April 4, 2010

Wednesday night / Thursday morning I slept at Michael's. I had a dream that I was standing naked in a room, with Michael behind me, also naked. I felt his erect cock pressed against me and I backed up on it, and we fell to the floor, twisting as we went. It was then, that through the light of some familiar bay windows, that I realized we were fucking in my dead Great-Grandfather's livingroom; a home that is no longer in the family, but was kept by my older sister and her husband for a short time after they married.

Michael left to be with his sister Rhonda who was having surgery. I went to Milan, where I was to meet my cousins Chris, Tina, Cameron & Rusty in a nature park. When I got there, much of their family was there as well, which was a fantastic surprise. Jennifer & her children (Seefus, Moses & Ariel) were visiting from up-state. Jalynn was there with little Dajr. Aunt Marge, Uncle Mike, and Katie were there as well. Awesome visit. I later went to Marge's house where I traded Doctor Who dvd's with Katie; she returned Season 27, while I loaned her Seasons 28-29 (minus Torchwood, which is basically Rated R, and she's 14 I think). I also saw my grandparents and my Uncle Mike Curtis. I spent Thursday night with Michael again.

Friday morning, Michael went to work and I came home. I took a nap. Later, Mark dropped me off at Michael's so Michael could take me with him to visit Rhonda in the hospital, while Mark went to a viewing of his step-mother's mother, who had died. We picked up Arby's for Rhonda. On the way to the part of the hospital where Rhonds was staying, I caught sight of the old Mercywood Hospital, where I was kept when I attempted suicide back in March of 1992 - this brought back a whole load of sordid memories. It was good to see Rhonda, Sandy, Katie and what's his name (Rhonda's husband). Rhonda looked good, but a bit uncomfortable, which was understandable. We didn't stay long; heading to LOWE's and then back to Michael's apartment. I couldn't stop the memories from overwhelming me; memories of my friends that had died; Michael commented on this. I took a shower when I got to Michael's, slipping and taking a bad fall that banged me up pretty badly. The pain helped shock me out of my flashbacks; pain always helps me forget; pain and sex. We later cuddled naked...and had fantastic sex...I had some flashes of one of my dead friends during the sex, which was both erotic and haunting. I felt weird having had such visions, but was assured by a friend (thanks Chris) that it was normal and understandable given the circumstances. We later watched the first 2 episodes of 'Pushing Daisies' which cheered me up a great deal, and then went to bed.

Michael went to work the next morning, and I came home. I slept. I watched the new Doctor Who ("The Eleventh Hour"). I was impressed with the episode. It felt very much like Doctor Who, yet completely different and new - which was actually quite refreshing. I like the 11th Doctor. I like the new companion, and a recurring character that was introduced here. I LOVE the new tardis. I'm liking the new sonic screwdriver. I think the new version of the theme and opening credits lack the intensity of Seasons 27-30, but perhaps they'll grow on me? They're not bad; they just don't impress me. I love the new logo. I loved the continuity with previous Doctors and villains on display. I loved the little touches from previous Doctors. The "no no no no no no no" & "it's gonna burn" lines sounded very much like the 9th Doctor. "You've had some cowboys in here" & "wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey" were clearly the 10th (the latter could also pertain to the 5th). Very nice. And I very much want to see where all of this is going. Mark & Michael both enjoyed it as well.

Later, I burt a tv disc for Michael, went grocery shopping and then headed to his place. I left for the store a little after midnight (Easter Sunday) and saw (I'm not kidding) a bunny. lol. Perfect. When I got to Michael's we watched Pusing Daisies 1x04 (he'd watched 1x03 on his own), and then the new Doctor Who before cuddles. Later I got up and came home to work on discs for Mollie and other projects. Then I wrote this. ;-0)

Watched some more Doctor Who related programming. Very much loving the new Doctor Who. Wish I could just sit down and watch the whole season right now, and K9 as well. K9 1x02 should be airing today. Somehow, someone uploaded 1x03 last night. Hopefully I'll have 2 K9 episodes to watch later, and more Whoniverse material to ship to Mollie. ;-0)

I'm sleepy.

I slept a few hours, then got up when Mark's activity woke me. I stayed up to do some business for Michael, then worked on my Farm (I have 3 of them now, plus all the accessories); Michael bought me some Farm Cash the other day so I now have all the things I wanted on Farm Town.

Mark just gave me some bad news. The front driver's side tire has a problem. He asked me if I hit anything? He always does that if there's a problem, when anytime I've hit anything I've told him right away. After telling him that I had not, he asked me again. I hate that. It translates into, I don't believe you so I'm giving you another chance to tell me what I want to hear, because I'll believe nothing else. It's really fucking annoying. Add that to the news that he won't be having it fixed on Monday, and that I shouldn't go anywhere unless I need to...means I'll be all but a prisoner in my own home. Michael won't be able to come get me as he'll be working 2 jobs starting tomorrow. I also have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday, and need to get into my other doctor's lab sometime soon. This is really stressing me out.

Oh. And the new K9 series, is already fucked up. It's starting the series with episode 3 and continuing from there, as the preview in October was apparently an odd mixture of the first 2 episodes; I thought the pacing of it was a bit odd, but assumed it was because it was Part I of II (the first 2 episodes are a 2-parter). This means we might not be getting the proper beginning to the series for some time to come; shades of Firefly.

I really should go back to sleep, but the stress of not having the car right now is upsetting. The ingrediants I got at the store last night are useless without 1 other ingrediant, which I can't go to the store for now. The visits I was to have with Michael over the next several days have just been butchered. And I'm now stressed about my doctor's visits...something I was already stressed about because I have a phone interview on Tuesday (which is likely to interrupt my doctor's visit) which may decide the fate of my insurance and if I have the ability to feed myself at all. I was having a good day until Mark Adams walked into my room. And he seemed to be cheerful as he left, which just annoyed me further. Perhaps the lack of sleep has made me cranky and more prone to stress, but only just a bit. :-0(

How did it get to be 7pm so quickly?

I'm going back to bed.

Slept for almost exactly 3 hours. Downloading K-9 1x04. Still annoyed that I don't really have K-9 1x01-1x02. Grr. Oh. And I can't go anywhere. Really, really pissed about that.

I spoke to Michael on the phone around 1am I think. Also had exchanges on Facebook with him, Mollie, Dollie and some guy I friended whose name escapes me at the moment. I then had a shake and ate, and watched 2 'Pushing Daisies' episodes that Michael had seen by then, to sort of share the experience with him. My eating pills (which I should have filled today or tomorrow - if I can use the car) made me sleepy. I slept for 3 hours. I got up around 5:30am. I watched some Sarah Jane; read the news. Jacked off and showered.

I'm bored. I'm gonna see if Michael's up, and then probably do some reading, which I planned to do last night, but didn't.

Managed to stay awake all day. I uploaded videos to Facebook and talked to Michael a few times. He's on his way to get me to get my eating pills from the pharmacy (he's sweet like that). I might go to Necto tonight.

Tomorrow I have a phone interview about my insurance and aid. Then I have a doctor's appointment about my jaw. Then we need to go have our tire fixed. Then I have to stop at my doctor's office for some tests. Lots to do tomorrow. Tomorrow night, Michael might come stay the night. ;-0)

I managed to clean my room a bit. I'm gonna finish hanging my clothes and then brush my teeth and put on my shoes.

After the last entry I finished getting ready and stepped outside to wait for Michael. I talked to Janice on the phone for a bit but let her go when Michael arrived. We had a nice visit with Michael taking us to Rite Aid, Staples, and Little Caesars (for some disturbingly good Crazy Bread), and then dropping me back at home.

I gave the last of my Crazy Bread to Mark and went to bed. I got up around 11pm, and called Michael, who'd texted me. I chatted a bit on Facebook and that got ready and went to Necto through the dry lightning and thunder. I had an ok time, with some fun dancing. Brandon was there. Becky, Jinx, Keevan, and Michael Eisinger's best friend who apparently isn't on speaking terms with him anymore as she accosted me with a "I hate him" and then spoke a million miles a second about all their problems that I didn't want to hear about; probably thinking that I hate him too, only I don't. I was polite though, and managed to get away. I mostly talked to this straight bloke named Ed and his not-gf Kendra. I found a new band that I like (Anders Manga) and I was off into the downpour and home.

I spoke to Mark momentarily. He's watching Pushing Daisies too; he never finished it the first time around. He and Michael are actually in the same spot in the show. I hope they enjoy the end of it. I updated Facebook stuff and went to bed; waking several times, but finally around 8am.

I read the news. None of it that spectacular. One good thing about K-9; they're actually showing 2 episodes a weekend, meaning that I'll have more of the series faster than expected. Now if only they'd air the proper cuts of Episodes 1 & 2 we'd be good as gold.

Much to do to day. None of it sounding like much fun. Blah.

Tuesday. The govenmental peeps in charge of my insurance never called on Tuesday. This sucks as I was stressed about it even longer, and now I'm left wondering what happened, and my stress continues...and there were questions that I had that remain unanswered. My jaw doctor appointment went well. Keep doing what I'm doing for 3 months and then come back again. I loaned Mark $70.00 for bills, after giving him $100 something last week for car insurance. I have less than $200.00 in my account now. I'm feeling very vulnerable about money these days. We got the tire fixed on our car AND worked out a deal for a new spare to replace the one that's been on backorder for over a month. We got home, and Michael joined us, but I didn't want to go out as I was so tired. Michael and Mark went to Pizza Hut, but I found it impossible to sleep. They got me some groceries on the way home. Later, Michael and I slept a few hours, then had THE SEX...which was fantastic. I showered, ate (finally), and took a muscle relaxant; something I should have done earlier but was putting off so I could spend time with Michael. I harvested my farm town and went to bed; dreaming of saving my cousin Michael Curtis from aligators. Also, some people count sheep to get to sleep...I count BSG & Doctor Who episodes. After sleeping 3 hours, I got up to let Michael out and lock the door. I then ate some more, watched an episode of LOST and started another one before feeling tired again. I updated my farm, said goodnight to Mark and then slept for at least 11 hours. Which was fantastic.

Did the farm / facebook thing. Chris and Bryan have broken up but remain friends. I talked to Michael and Mark. I took my prilosec. Gonna eat soon. Try to watch more LOST later. I'm still at the beginning of Season 3; Season 6 is airing now and will end the series in mid-late May.

Had my phone interview yesterday; it was delayed from Tuesday cause they're so backed up. I was told to remove my name from Mark's account to keep getting my benefits. We went to the bank and did that; we went to the tire place and got our new spare. We went to my doc's office so they could run my tests. We couldn't get the info about the account to my case worker because it takes 24 hours for the new bank info to go through. When talking to my case worker I asked about getting a job but was told if I did I'd lose my insurance, which sucks because while I could feed myself with a new job, the cost of my perscriptions, which I need in order to function, would wipe me out. So much for me getting a job. This depresses me. We went home and after talking to Michael I went to bed.

I slept about 7 hours. I spoke to Michael a bit when I woke up. Did the farm thing. Ate. I watched 4 episodes of Lost (3x08 - 3x11); 1 more and I'll be half way through the series, and just over half way through Season 3. Seasons 4, 5 & 6 will all have fewer episodes than Seasons 1-3. I'm enjoying it for now.

I miss Michael.

I watched 2 more episodes of LOST (3x12 & 3x13). It's gotten very good again. Revelations galore. I know that 2 of the crash survivors are related, and how Locke lost the use of his legs. 10 more episodes in this season; I'll try to finish them soon, but I need a nap, and then to go to the bank and then off to my case worker; also need gas in the car, and groceries would be nice, and might see Michael as well.

Ate and watched a 7th episode of Lost (3x14); 9 episodes left in the season. I could have done without the moment with the 'killer' spiders that popped out of my screen and on to my ceiling. Ick. Blah.

Just read some Sarah Jane related news. It looks like Luke will be leaving the series after Series 4; they'll introduce a new character to replace him in Season 5. I rather like Luke, so I'm not happy with this news at all. Other annoying news is that the Slitheen / Blathereen will be back AGAIN (WTF?) though it's said it will be in a smaller role, though having them back at all is too much for me. On the brighter side of things it's said that a Classic Series Who character will be featured (will it be the Brig again?) and that Androvax (from 'Prisoner of the Judoon') will also return to the series. I'm guessing that the Judoon will also return, though that's not been stated. K-9 Mark IV will also be back. It's also teased that the 11th Doctor may yet appear on the series, but this isn't confirmed and it's unknown, if it happened at all, if it would be this year or next. Doctor Who and the new (mostly lame) K-9 tv series (about K-9 Mark I) will air new episodes on Saturday & Sunday. Still no word on anything Torchwood related.

I'm still at somewhat of a loss of where or how to include the new K-9 series into my whoniverse guide. As it will never crossover with New Who / Sarah Jane / Torchwood I'm leaning towards placing it between Classic Who and New...but that adds another season, which I've worked so hard to keep from happening in the last 2 years. Grrr. It's an annoyance for now, but hopefully I'll figure something out.

Why can't I sleep?

Didn't sleep Friday morning. Couldn't. In my sleep deprived, headache riddled state I learned there are a few more spin-offs to Doctor Who than I thought, with at least 3 tv movies that I knew nothing about. More on those later.

Mark & I went to Michael's to get some cash he owed Mark (and to see Michael); it was great to see him. Michael left for work while we headed to the bank to get a new bank statement for my case, then a gas station, then went to drop that statement off for my case worker. Then we went to Kroger to return bottles and pick up a few groceries. Little Caesars for crazy bread. Then Mark had to pay some bills. And then home.

I wanted to sleep but ended up watching more lost. I now have 6 episodes left in Season 3. I did finally sleep for 3.5 hours but woke up and did my farm and chat on Facebook. Saw a text from Michael and called him. Then got a request for a call from my friend Brian asking for advice, only before we got to the advice part he let me go to drive home saying he'd text me, only he didn't, which didn't wake me up, so I missed my earlier hoped for arrival at Michaels. But fear not. I'm semi-concious now and just took a shower and packed my bag and heading there as soon as this entry is done.

So...going to Michael's to cuddle for a few hours. He has an errand to run around 8am. Then he has to work at 2pm, unless he gets the day off (a fact that he wasn't sure of when I spoke to him last). I'm tired and miss my man.

After the last entry I went to Michael's. We cuddled. I slept for maybe 2 hours before waking. I watched some LOST. Later Michael went to work and I went back to sleep. Michael returned and I got up, then we both went back to bed for some fantastic sex, after which I showered then we went to Staples. Then Michael headed out for more work while I headed home with a headache. I took painkiller, ate and watched more LOST. Michael & I spoke on the phone a few times. I finished LOST Season 3 and then watched the new Doctor Who (5x02 The Beast Below) which I thought was pretty good, then I finally went to bed. I slept pretty well I think. There were later phone calls with Michael and more sleep. Some CRAZY exchanges on Facebook and farming.

Today I watched some Doctor Who featuring 8, 9 & 10, and then watched the first episode of Season 4 of Lost. I'm about to work on my farm and my headache has returned. I might try to sleep to help with the pain.

I watched another episode of Lost (4x02), then organized some stuff in my room, and cleaned a bit, though it's hard to tell by looking at it. I chatted on Facebook. I listened to music. Ate. Stayed hydrated. I'm sleepy, but trying to wait until 9 to sleep so I can get up at 1 to harvest stuff on my farm at the time when I can get more trees & milk. ;-0)

Got up as planned (thanks Mark!). Did the Farm thing. Downloading the new 2 hour Brothers & Sisters episode, plus the 2 new K-9 episodes. No messages from Michael. I'll give him a call. Then probably go back to sleep.

I talked to Michael after the last entry. We watched each other's cams for awhile; spoke on the phone, then on yahoo, then on the phone again. I went to bed; woke up briefly to see him chatting to Laurel, but went back to sleep. I had good dreams about hunting in the forest with Michael Curtis. lol. Odd. I woke, did the farm thing, rewatched Doctor Who 5x02 'The Beast Below', which I enjoyed slightly more the 2nd time. I spoke to Mark and Michael, and burned a disc for Mark. I watched several episodes of LOST; I'm about half way through 4x08, so over half way through Season 4. There are 42 episodes left in the series; 7 of which haven't aired yet.

Just finished watching 4x08; 2 more characters are dead. Damn.

Michael just called; he has most of tomorrow off now.

I didn't watch any more Lost yesterday (except the beginning of 4x09). I later watched Sunday's 2-part Brothers & Sisters episode, which unexpectedly hinged on gay brother Kevin's history in a convincing yet tragic way. I started watching a Spartacus episode later but felt slightly ill and was tired and went to sleep, trusting the phone to wake me when Michael left work. I woke up around 3:20am, with a headache, from nightmares about alien invasion and Michael cheating again; called Michael, wondering why he didn't call when he was meant to get out of work (around 1am); posted a bit on Facebook, took some midrin and went back to bed.

Been up since around 7am. Did the farm thing. My Farmtown goals have changed. Instead of wanting one of everything possible, which I did do, I now try to stockpile items that can then be made into other things while just selling all the others. These stockpiled items include: Apples (for Applepie & Applejuice), Blueberries (for Blueberry Yogurt), Butter (for cakes & cookies), Cheese (for pizza & cheese cake), Cherries (for pie), Chocolate Liquor (for cakes & cookies), Cocoas (for Chocolate Liquor), Cow Milk (for Cheese, Yogurts & Butter), Flour (for pizzas & cakes & cookies), Goat Milk (for Goat Cheese), Grapes (for Grape Juice), Hen Eggs (for cakes & cookies), Mushrooms (for pizza), Onions (for pizza), Pineapples (for Pineapple Juice), Raspberries (for Raspberry Yogurt), Strawberries (for Strawberry Yogurt), Sugar (for cakes & cookies), Sugarcane (for Sugar), Tomatoes (for pizza) & Wheat (for Flour).

Think I'm gonna shave and shower. I have a week's worth of beard. Go to Michael's; see what's what.

After the last entry, I did shave and go to Michael's. He was sleeping. We cuddled. Had some hot nearly violent sex. And again. Showers. Later we went to Meijer for groceries. I saw Young William. We headed home. Michael took a nap. I watched "Sky High", which was ok, and "Two Weeks Notice", which was NOT OK. Michael woke. We also watched some Star Trek: The Next Generation ("Final Mission", "Data's Day", "The Wounded") & Smallville ("Escape"). We went to bed fairly early. I slept extremely well due to my jaw meds (my jaw was killing me most of the day).

Next morning we got up. Michael went to work and I was soon on my way home. I took a nap later that day. Didn't accomplish much. Slept last night. Today I got caught up on Spartacus (the season finale airs tomorrow) & Smallville, then watched 1.5 more episodes of LOST; I have about 5 more episodes in Season 4 of LOST and I'm really looking forward to being done with it. I've just watched too much of it in the last week and I want the season to end so I have a clear break point. When the season ends I'll have 35 episodes left; 6 of which haven't aired yet.

I slept. I dreamt of going back to High School as an adult among children; a road trip with Mark; working at a high school gym (no nudity in the dream at all - it was all sports related); kissing and holding hands with my friend Jason at church, with Mark looking on happily, a nephew pointing out my grey hair (I had a full head of hair in the dream) and a joke about manhood that made my mother glare at me. Also, Angelina Jolie had a cameo.

Woke around 6pm. Called Michael who was on his way home for the day. This made me sad as I was hoping to go to his place afterwards, but it was hard to bring this up as I was half awake, hot and sweaty. I said I needed a shower and he encouraged me to shower and see how I was feeling and if I felt better he'd swing by and get me for the night; possibly for a few days as he has Friday & Saturday off, though he'll be working on the census stuff.

I read the news while I snacked. Everything is ok so far.

Oh. Also. Just after I'd made a list of things I was collecting in Farm Town (see last entry) the list expanded when they added an Ice Cream Shop, plus new juices and pizzas, with pizza toppings (ham & pepperoni) and Ice Cream flavors (coffee) that you can only get from your friends - or from trees that I have very few of (coconut & mango). Dang it. lol

Michael came to pick me up Thursday night, but before we left, Michael, Mark & I went for a walk to Aut Bar where we had drinks before walking home. Michael drove me to his house. We watched 'Shortbus' then went to bed. Slept well. Next morning I watched 'The Celluloid Closet' while Michael was at work. Friday I was tired much of the day, but went with Michael to Arby's on an errand, then to Borders where I spotted 2 magazines and about 6 books that I'd have bought if only I wasn't broke; not having money is starting to depress me. We went home; watched some TNG then slept several hours. We later watched more TNG & 'But I'm a Cheerleader' which Michael had apparently seen before, the revelation of which drove a conversation in which it was revealed that the first gay themed movie he saw was the same one I saw: a television movie called Consenting Adults, based on the Larua Z. Hobson novel. More Trek and then bed for Michael while I watched 'Fabulous: the Story of Queer Cinema' - then bed for me too. More Trek today; finished Season 4 and started Season 5. I had some sexy fun with Michael which sort of disturbed me on some levels; not ready to talk about that yet. He ran to the store while I got ready to go. Jennifer called me and we talked while Michael drove me to Whole Foods. She was on her way to buy a lawn mower. I let her go at the store where I got very little, but enough. Michael dropped me at home. I downloaded the latest tv offerings; I watched the new Graham Norton and the latest episode of Glee; worked on Farmtown / Facebook and wrote this. I'm waiting for the new Doctor Who to be available while listening to the new Natalie Merchant.

2 of the books I saw at the bookstore I wanted were Trek ("Inception" & "Unspoken Truth"). Today there is news of 2011 releases including:

New Frontier: Blind Man's Bluff

The Typhon Pact: Paths of Disharmony

'New Voyager Novel'

Star Trek: D.T.I. (Department of Temporal Investigations)

"Indistinguishable from Magic" - which is
said to feature Scotty, Guinan & Nog.

Vanguard Novella Collection.

New Romulan War book.

Hmmmm. Interesting mix so far. ;-0)

The new episodes of Doctor Who bored me and is the first episode of the new regime that I didn't like at all, but the episode was Dalek based so I expected as much - still, I thought that with such low expectations, perhaps I'd enjoy it more...only I didn't. The next 2 episodes at least look to be pretty awesome ;-0)

Jacked off and showered. Got a call from Corey saying he'd seen the first episode of the new Season of Who and that he loved it and is jealous that I've already seen the next 2 installments. I looked at my list of Who (Season 31) and it got me wondering how I'd rate each installment:

***** = Perfection
**** = Fantastic
*** = Average
** = Below Average
* = I hateed it

Green = The Sarah Jane Adventures
Black = Doctor Who
Red = Torchwood

Season 31:
Day of the Clown 1 ***
Day of the Clown 2 ***
Secrets of the Stars 1 ***
Secrets of the Stars 2 ***

The Next Doctor ***
Mark of the Berserker 1 ***
Mark of the Berserker 2 ***
Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith 1 ***
Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith 2 ***

Music of the Spheres ***
Enemy of the Bane 1 ***
Enemy of the Bane 2 ***

Dreamland ***
Prisoner of the Judoon 1 ***
Prisoner of the Judoon 2 ***

Planet of the Dead ***
The Mad Woman in the Attic 1 ****
The Mad Woman in the Attic 2 ****

Children of Earth 1 ****
Children of Earth 2 ***
Children of Earth 3 ****
Children of Earth 4 *****
Children of Earth 5 *****

Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith 1 ****
Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith 2 ****

The Waters of Mars *****
Eternity Trap 1 ***
Eternity Trap 2 ***

End of Time 1 ****
End of Time 2 ****
The Eleventh Hour [3] ****
From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love **
The Beast Below ***
Mona Lisa's Revenge 1 ***
Mona Lisa's Revenge 2 ***

Victory of the Daleks **
The Gift 1 *
The Gift 2 *

The only episodes to rate 5 stars for me were 2 of the Torchwood installments (which collectively would get an excellent from me) and 'The Waters of Mars' - which were part of a 10 episode run of nearly perfect episodes. Definitely not going well here at the end, but there are still at least 22 episodes to go from here; the next 2 episodes in particular look fantastic. I'd have rated 'Victory of the Daleks' lower except that it had the decency to limit itself to 1 installment, unlike the last Dalek story to rate this low ("Daleks in Manhattan" / "Evolution of the Daleks") which made me wait 3 weeks to be done with it...ick.

It's also interesting to note that while The Doctor doesn't seem to have as many adventures as you'd expect that he also appears in 'Secrets of the Stars 1', 'The Mad Woman in the Attic 2', & 'The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith 1-2'. He's also mentioned or alluded to (or events from his show are) in 'Mark of the Berserker 1', 'Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith 1 & 2', 'Prisoner of the Judoon 2', 'Children of Earth 3 & 5', 'The Eternity Trap 1', & 'Mona Lisa's Revenge 1'.

I had trouble sleeping last night. Headache. Then nightmares of war and violence. I worked on Michael's farm before sleep and my own as well. More when I woke. Spoke to Michael on the farm around 11am and then later on the phone. Slept with headache again. Watched the season finale of Spartacus which ended well, though the character I most wanted dead did not fall. Working on the farms now.

Having an odd day. Had a an odd yet erotic encounter; am I losing my mind? Here's a really good Q & A with one of the writers of Spartacus - which makes me very excited for any future seasons.

Chatted with Mollie on Yahoo (THANKS Mollie!). Also chatted with John, Kurtis & Jeff. All of it supportive. I'm doing the dishes. Mark & I are both doing laundry. I cleaned up my room a bit. We're going to Kroger in a minute.

Mark's surgery is in the morning; I'm starting to get nervous about it. I hate the idea of anything bad happening to Mark. I really, really hate it. :-0( But everyone seems to be saying it won't be that bad...and it does sound a lot less invasive than my surgery. I'll try to be hopefull. I have to be there with him tomorrow though the thought kind of terrifies me. I'll be the supportive best friend but surgery scares the hell out of me now.

Just Breathe.

Talked to Michael; we may have some issues which could bust us up. I'm not happy about this. Still...had a good talk and later some yahoo fun. He went to bed. I was gonna crawl into bed but remembered I had clothes in the washer and Mark said he'd need it in the morning. I need to try to sleep now.

After showering and shaving, and dressing and almost walking out the door, my stomach (which was upset last night) prevented me from joining Mark & his father. I would have gone but Mark could see how it was paining me to go and told me it was fine for me to stay home as his father was with him; saying that he wanted me to go but that as he knew me so well, that he understood what was going on with me.

That makes 1 of us.

Michael is starting to tell me that I'm too high maintenance. That he wants someone that can go out in the sun more often; who's stomach isn't often upset; who doesn't have headaches all the time. That made me feel really special... I feel broken. Like the broken toy that nobody wants to play with for long. It seems so rich coming from Michael, whom I've forgiven and given so many chances to after ripping out my heart so many times. I guess my nearly boundless forgivness just wasn't enough. This leaves me feeling, after his words and my failure this morning, as though I have nothing to give a potential partner. I hate myself sometimes.

Mark's surgery went extremely well and he feels fine. I got a short nap. Watched the new Desperate Housewives. Spoke to Michael on the phone a few times; probably head over to his place soon.

Had great sex with Michael Monday night. We went to the store where he bought me 'Ponyo'. We later watched the 'Alvin & the Chipmunks' movie, which was ok. Michael loves those kinds of movies; he's kind of like a big kid with his entertainment choices. Tuesday we mostly chilled. An afternoon nap led to more sex. I went home later that day. The issues that were raised the other night were mostly just set aside for now but they could be disasterous in the near future. Hopefully things work out, and if they don't...hopefully we won't be too damaged.

I did watch 'Ponyo' last night and thought it was a lot of fun. The thing I like about Miyazaki movies is that even if I don't love them, the visuals are aleways pleasing and surprising...and the characters always do things that I'd never expect them to do. I was pleased. And the little boy in the movie reminded me of Mark's nephew Nick.

I slept. It took awhile to get to sleep. Death thoughts kept me awake, but when I finally did sleep I slept well and long. I had a stomach cramp when I went to bed that has stayed with me all day. Also, I've been throwing up since Sunday. Ick. I hate that my pills aren't working. I feel exhausted.

I watched the new Glee today, then watched 3 more episodes of Lost. I have 2 more and I'm done with Season 4. That will leave me with 2 seasons (35 episodes) to go. The series ends next month.

I need to take Mark to Secretary of State (for the plates) and the pharmacy. I really don't feel up to doing these things but Mark can't do them on his own so I'll do my best. I'd love to take a nap right now. I just took a shower and threw up most of my lunch... I feel used up and a nap would really help right now. Oh well.

Oh. Also read that Scream 4 will be filming in and around Ann Arbor. How weird is that?

Also, while I was away, it was announced that the 11th Doctor & 3rd Doctor companion Jo Grant will be appearing in 2 episodes of Sarah Jane!?! How cool is that!?!

Later Wednesday I took Mark to renew our plates, then went to Kroger to fill a perscription (my treat), then got gas and Little Caesars. Tried a new soda. Talked to Mollie, Karen, Trevor & Michael. Mollie & Karen aren't enjoying the 11th Doctor at all. Read a bit. Had a terrible time trying to sleep, but when I did sleep, I slept well.

I spoke to Michael today. Been watching LOST. Finished Season 4 & started Season 5. I now have 34.5 episodes left (5 of which haven't aired yet). Michael has been watching 'Being Human'. I also started watching season 3 of 'Secret Diary of a Callgirl' as I was finally able to get my hands on it. I've seen the first 3 episodes; just 5 more to go.

I'm gonna have a shake now and watch some more LOST.

Friday morning was spent at home watching LOST and chilling with Mark on his 39th birthday. We couldn't do much because of lack of funds and his recent surgery but I encouraged people to tell him happy birthday. After the nightmare that was my party last year I'm hoping to have something low key this year myself. I later went to Michael's for a visit (with Mark's approval) where we did the sex thing (yummy yet shockingly violent), watched "Avatar" (which I thought was very pretty but very predictable), and then slept very well.

Saturday (my nephew Justin's 16th birthday) we went to the Dollar store for water (which they were out of) and GameStop for a new Wii powercord. We hit Meijer for groceries and then headed home. On the way home I called Justin to wish him happy birthday and told him my memories of his birth, which he said was a great story. At Michael's we watched 'Ponyo'. I skipped out half way through to read the rest of 'Alabaster' and continue into 'Threshold'. I started reading the latter book years ago but couldn't finish it because a character that somehow reminded me of my best friend was in deadly peril and I didn't want to think about her dying. I got that friend to read the book and she's read several in the series now and it's finally time for me to catch up. I slept about 20 minutes.

Later Michael & I played Wii Super Mario Brothers to much laughter and cursing. There was a lot of tickling and playing. Later still we watched the first 4.5 episodes of 'Wolverine & the X-Men' (not including the prequel film 'Hulk vs. Wolverine' which we skipped for now) and then bed.

Woke up with a headache again but fooled around with Michael a bit. Did the farm thing. Michael & I finished the 'X-Men' episode we left off on Saturday night ("Thieve's Gambit") & watched the next one ("X-Calibre"). Michael left for work while I climbed back into bed to sort out my headache. I layed there about a half hour until my headache had passed. I made the bed, took a shower, did the dishes, packed and took out the trash. I stopped at Hillers where I got water as I'd promised Mark I would. Michael bought him the crunchy cheetos that he'd wanted while we were at Meijer the day before. I headed home.

I worked on Michael farm. I watched the news. Chatted with Mark. Watched more news. Did Michael farm again (getting him up to the next level: 73) and then had a shake while I watched the new Doctor Who ("The Time of Angels") which was pretty good, but hard to judge as it's a part I of II; I'd definitely say it's better than the last 2 episodes. The episode features the return of the Weeping Angels (from "Blink") and River Song (from "Silence in the Library" / "Forest of the Dead"). The latter character's return is a big deal for me, and this episode reminded me a lot of her first appearance in that while I enjoyed it when it aired, it was somewhat unsatisfying until Part II aired and proved that the entire story was fantastic. I'm hoping for a similar outcome here. Watched the making of the episode after that.

I'm sleepy. And my jaw hurts. I've tried to relax it the last few days. I might take a muscle relaxant later; not sure.

Oh. Also read this article about the upcoming Alien film prequels. Really hoping these rock. If they do make these 2 films that will give the original Alien movie 7 prequels and bring the series to an 11 film total:

01 Predator (1987)
02 Predator 2 (1990)
03 Alien vs. Predator (2004)
04 Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
05 Predators (2010)
06 Alien Prequel 1 (2012)
07 Alien Prequel 2 (????)
08 Alien (1979)
09 Aliens (1986)
10 Alien 3 (1992)
11 Alien Resurrection (1997)

Hopefully the new Alien Prequels & Predators won't suck. I'd like to see more Predator films, and someday, hopefully we'll get a post 'Resurrection' Alien entry. ;-0)

Did the Facebook thing. Watched the new 'Brothers and Sisters'; 2 more episodes left this season, I think. I have the new Desperate Housewives and I'll probably watch that soon. I wonder if Michael is home from work yet?

   posted by Bald Jason at 02:20 AM
   [Karma: 0 (+/-)] [Comments Welcome Here]

I didn't watch Desperate Housewives last night. I chatted with Michael. I read more 'Threshold'. I slept well but woke with yet another headache. I was hoping to see Michael today but he picked up some good hours at his 2nd job and won't be free until after Midnight.

In entertainment news, Scream 4, though a self contained story, is the first in a new trilogy, which will not feature Randy back from the dead. Cary Elwes will return in Saw VII (which will be in 3D in theaters); his character hasn't been seen since the first installment and was a loose end that I'd always wanted to see again so I'm slightly interested in this, yet they fucked the intricate storyline up in Part 4 and I've not seen 5 or 6. Perhaps I'll rewatch the series when VII comes out on DVD.

They're making a film of Bret Easton Ellis's upcoming sequel to "Less Than Zero". "Less Than Zero" is one of my favorite books, and while I enjoy the movie, they are extremely different animals. In the movie, we know that Robert Downey Jr's straight character (in a movie filled with straight characters) has reached rock bottom because he's found sucking dick for drugs by the straight protagonist of the film. In the book all the characters are bisexual and instead of saving his friend from the terrible sucking of cock, he joins in by watching his friend get fucked. He also has a boyfriend (or at least a male lover) through part of the novel. And all the characters are unsympathetic...and nobody gets saved at the end. The movie has a sad ending for one character and a theme of redemption for his two best friends. I like seeing different interpretations of things though so I don't hate the movie, but it doesn't really represent the core of the book to any degree.

I have a monster migrain. I've been waking up with headaches lately. It was rainy this morning and now it's sunny. It's common for migrain sufferers to get these types of headaches when the weather is in constant flux so I'm pretty sure that's the cause.

I just noticed that with the new Marvel Universe Avengers series of movies they will have 6 films; the same number of films which the X-Men series (a Marvel property produced by a separate film studio) will have in roughly the same time period (though the Avengers films will have come out in a much shorter amount of time):

Avengers Universe Films:
01 Iron Man (2008)
02 Iron Man 2 (2010)
03 The Incredible Hulk (2008)
04 Thor (2011)
05 Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
06 The Avengers (2012)

X-Men Universe Films:
01 X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
02 Wolverine 2 (2012)
03 X-Men: First Class (2011)
04 X-Men (2000)
05 X2: X-Men United (2003)
06 X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Each of these Marvel Universes should be congratulated for the amount of stories they've been able to tell (6 for each); previous Marvel Universes have died off at 3 entries (Blade, Spider-Man). D.C. Comic Film Series have made it to 4 entries with Batman & Superman. Each of these 6 installment Marvel Universes will likely expand beyond these installments. A sequel to 'X-Men: The Last Stand' & a spin-off for Deadpool (from "X-Men Origins: Wolverine") are in the works for instance. It's also likely we'll get an Iron Man 3, and Marvel is working to do smaller films with it's lesser known characters; these films could also take place in the Avengers Universe.

Watched the 'Drawn Together Movie'; a fitting end to the series. I slept several more hours. Michael was working from 4pm to Midnight, but told me I could visit him tonight as he wasn't supposed to work until 3pm tomorrow, but now that I'm almost ready I find that he's still at work and has taken another shift in the morning. I guess he left me a message about it and that he didn't know I was coming over tonight, but I've kind of planned my whole day around it and it's not happening now. I'm irritated by everything lately, and was hoping some Michael time would soothe my spirit. Oh well.

Also, Travis turns 27 today. On my 27th birthday, Travis was my boyfriend. On my 27th bithday he sent me flowers with a card saying I was over the hill. Also...while I was ooh-ing over the flowers he sent me, Travis was sucking some other guy's dick. On my 27th birthday. The day after my 27th birthday was when my stomach freaked out for the first time...at Cedar Point...and then things got worse. Oddly, I hope he has a great birthday. You can't hold on to that shit forever and I don't...but thanks to my disturbing memory capacity it's still there.

Went to Necto. Wore fishnets. Fishnet shirt with zipper shirt over. Boots. Eyeliner. Danced to Skinny Puppy. Danced to Lady GaGa with excited goth boys which made me laugh. Had a drink (sex on the beach). Chatted with Christine & Bobby, and Christine's boyfriend Brian Tucker. Also talked to Becky & Keevan. Brian asked me if I knew Matt Laura and I told him I did and he said he knew this because he randomly saw me comment on Matt's facebook page like a year ago! He also asked how I knew him and I told him we went to school together, while Brian was apparently one of Matt's students. Funny. He thought I was a lot younger though I guess, or that Matt was a lot younger or something. I found the whole thing amusing. There was also an exchange with a VERY DRUNK guy named Peter who was gay; has a boyfriend who is working at Aut Bar; and spent a great deal of time in Germany. He hit on Bobby, and then me, and then Bobby, and then his own straight cousin Dennis who was anti-gay and Dennis and I nearly got in a fist fight! Also, Dennis (who was 24 I think) was there with his 18yo gf Courtney (who will be 19 in June) and I felt bad for her as Dennis was drunk too and was not being respectful to her at all. They were about to be thrown out (both boys were cut off by Becky) but then they left on their own. After the bar was closing there were pictures taken (not with my camera) and I got to chat more with Christine, Bobby & Brian while we hung out in the alley and then the Michigan Theater where we discussed 'Shortbus', 'All Over Me', 'The Celluloid Closet', 'Hedwig', & 'My Own Private Idaho'. I had called Michael when I'd left the bar and he'd said he'd call me right back and I was getting worried. I parted company with my friends and eventually got in touch with Michael when I got home; he was still at work though he needs to be back there in less than 5 hours!?! Looks like I won't be seeing him tonight at all. :-0( Still, I had a fun night.

Talked to Michael some more this morning. Also watched Graham Norton 7x02 which I managed to find. Read more of 'Threshold'. Slept. Woke up with a slight headache about 2:30pm, though I didn't know what time it was and wanted to get back to sleep. I lay there debating if I should get up to take Mark to Spam Stops Here to pay for his insurance but needn't have bothered as Mark came knocking on my door. He's in the shower now. I'm trying to sort out how I'm feeling and wake up a bit.

I took the trash out. I eptied and filled the dishwasher; Mark did the dishes. I did a load of laundry. Took Mark to his old work place to pay his insurance; it was nice to see his old coworker Sean, but his former employer Ted Green took Mark aside and was a complete dick to him. I should have gone with them; I strongly regret not doing so, though Mark told me not to. I would have so gone off on that man! We also went to Meijer, the bank, Kroger (where I saw former Hollywood patron Les) and Little Caears. The crazybread was yummy. I rewatched Graham Norton. I unloaded the car. I attempted a nap but couldn't sleep.

I miss Michael.

Watched 'Glee' last night; there were some amazing performances and a scene that made me cry. Also had a conversation with Michael, and a long talk / chat with Jamie Atkinson. It was mostly a fun night. Read some more 'Threshold' as well. I didn't sleep long (about 3 hours) and woke up with a HORRIBLE headache. I took some midrin but it's not kicked in yet.

The title for Doctor Who 5x08 (which we knew was being changed from "The Ground Beneath Their Feet") has been revealed as "The Hungy Earth"; I like the new title a lot more. Episode 8 is Part I of II and the 2nd part's title has been confirmed as "Cold Blood". Titles 1-9 have now been confirmed; titles for 10-13 have not been confirmed but the confirmed / working titles are as follows:

Confirmed:
5x01 The Eleventh Hour
5x02 The Beast Below
5x03 Victory of the Daleks
5x04 The Time of Angels [Part I]
5x05 Flesh and Stone [Part II]
5x06 The Vampires of Venice
5x07 Amy's Choice
5x08 The Hungry Earth [Part I]
5x09 Cold Blood [Part II]

Unconfirmed:
5x10 Vincent & the Doctor
5x11 The Lodger
5x12 The Pandorica Opens
5x13 The Big Bang

Whoa. Midrin just kicked in. It usually doesn't hit this hard when I haven't eaten. Very glad it's working.

Again. I loved 'The Eleventh Hour'. I wanted to like 'The Beast Below' but the more I see it the more the plot lines annoy me and what should have been a 3 or 4 star episode is really a 2 star episode in retrospect. 'Victory of the Daleks' had NOTHING to recommend it except that it wasn't a 2-parter; my least favorite installment of Who in ages. "The Time of Angels" is a HUGE improvement, but it's not clear if it's a classic or not as Part II will decide that, plus it's cliffhanger ending is kind of lame. I like the 11th Doctor but I don't love him, and could easily hate him, but I keep reminding myself that while I remember loving the 10th Doctor, I didn't really warm to him for 1.5 seasons and it's only in retrospect that I love him completely - so I'm giving 11 at least that long. I'm less sold on his companion, Amy. She had a great first showing, but those 2nd & 3rd episodes really dragged her down (though she came through in Episode 2 a bit); I'm getting the impression that she won't be around after this season though, which would be fine with me...but even if she sticks around, perhaps I'll grow to love her? It's just hard when a season of Who is so short (they tend to be 13-15 episodes long) and 2 of the episodes have already mostly sucked; makes me nervous for the rest of the season. This is kind of the reverse of the 9th Doctor, who's first installment didn't thrill me the first time around, but I loved his 2nd & 3rd and wasn't sure about his 4th (which was also a 2 parter). Hmmmm.

It also appears that 11 appears in episodes 5&6 of Sarah Jane Season 4, which could cause quite a bit of havoc for me...but I'm sure I'll find some sort of order that works. lol I've also heard that the mechanical men in black from Doctor Who's 'Dreamland' will be appearing in SJA 4x03-4x04! Awesome if true! :-0)

Going back to bed.

Woke up with headache gone at around 3:45pm. There was a message on my phone from Michael saying he'd be off work between 6pm & 8pm. Cool. But now he's taken another shift at 8am (he was gonna go to work tomorrow at 3pm) which cuts into our time together A LOT as now he'll have to go to bed early to get up early. Ugh. This is the 3rd time this week that my plans to see him have been cut off...all based on something he tells me and then suddenly my time is taken away. I love that he loves his new job; I do. And I understand that I'm not going to be seeing him as often as I did for awhile, but having my expectations crushed like this is really hurting me. I've been planning things out based on the information I was given and now things I could have done are impossible.

I meant to post this link earlier; it's a cool story about the read-through of the upcoming Sarah Jane episodes that will bring back both Jo Grant (a companion to the 3rd Doctor) and the 11th Doctor.

One really good thing that's happened this week is I've found a sunblock that I really like, which (assuming it works out well) I can easily apply and not worry about the sun. That would be nice. I'm hoping for the best with that. That could change the entire course of my summer. Also, just like with my eating disorder last summer, I'm trying to get away from the self hatred with my delicate skin. Everyone should be wearing sunblock anyways, and I just need to embrace that this is something I have to do instead of moping around about it. Easier said than done, but I'm trying. It's hard to not be down on yourself when there's SO MUCH wrong or different about you, but I just want my life to be better than that.

I'm choosing to not be upset about Michael's change in plans, despite the fact that I could have said no to doing any number of things tomorrow with other people because I was going to be spending that time with him, and that I infact had something planned for tomorrow with him that won't be happening now. I just need to communicate to him that in the future I need for him to tell me when he's available and stick to it - or I need to not be taking his word so seriously (an option I don't like as we were doing pretty well in the trust department lately - a huge hurdle for us) - or maybe we just shouldn't be planning things right now. I don't know what the answer is. I just don't want to be upset all the time, and I'm just not going to be. :-0)

Showered and shaved. Worked on Michael's Farm Town; got him to level 74; 6 more and we'll be on the same level (though I'll have a massive lead in XP, which makes me think I'll be jumping to whatever level they + next). Michael is still at work. I'm getting ready; packing and stuff.

Made it out to Michael's before he arrived. I made his bed; straightened his living room; opened the blinds and washed his dishes. When he arrived home we hugged and talked while he did his bills and stuff. I got a few pictures. Later we watched more Wolverine & the X-Men. We played more Wii Super Mario Brothers and went to bed. I read a bit of 'Threshold' before trying to get to sleep, which took a long while. I slept well when I did get to sleep. Michael got up early for work as I drifted in & out; I remember him getting up, a bit of him showering, brushing his teeth and kissing me goodbye. I slept until around 11:30am. I worked on Michael's farm. I did his dishes, made the bed, and then came home where I worked on the farms again and spoke to Michael & Mark before going back to bed (I'd taken a muscle relaxer for my jaw). I was woken from nightmares by the phone; Michael had called to tell me he hours which I don't really remember now. lol. I slept more with better dreams, got up, showed Mark some Glee highlights, did more farming (while having my shake / toast combo) and then wrote this.

They've just updated Farm Town again today. Here are some of the new & newer stuff:

New Seeds:
Celery (4 Hours)
Garlic (2 Days)
Ginger (3 Days)
Grape Tomato (8 Hours)
Lettuce (8 Hours)

Sandwich Restaurant (500,000 coins)
Allows you to make sandwiches out of Bread, Ham, Cheese, Hotdog Sausage, Ketchep, Lettuce and other products.

Updates:
The bakery now bakes Hot Dog Buns & Bread.

The Semi-Trailer Truck now delivers Hotdog Sausage (along with Pepperoni & Ham).

You can now get fish from your lakes and rivers using the fishing pole tool (which is found in the same box as the watering can & camera). The bigger the pond / lake / river the more variety of fish and chance you'll catch something.

That's all the stuff I know about, but I don't have everything in my storage so there might be other stuff that you can store and make stuff out of that I'm not aware of.

I'm trying to hurry this up; Mark has stuff he wants to install on my computer. I just need to harvest & plant my 2nd farm & Michael's farms (which are all at 99%) and I'll be done for now.

I've harvested, plowed and planted 2 of Michael's farms; just planting 2 hour stuff on his so I can get his levels up...hoping to have him on level 76 tonight (just 4 less than me). I'm harvesting his 3rd farm now. Also working on an update of the above list which shows which items can be sold without worrying that you need them for something else (which will probably change as soon as I'm done with the list! lol).

More rumors about Sarah Jane. It's unknown if these rumors are true, but I believe there is at least SOME truth to them. The rumors are that Luke Smith & K-9 Mark IV will both be leaving the series in the 2nd story of the season (4x03 The Nightmare Man, Part I & 4x04 The Nightmare Man, Part II) and that both character will therefor be absent from the following story which will feature the Eleventh Doctor and Jo Grant. If Luke & K-9 Mark IV do leave in those episodes (and I have very little doubt that they are indeed leaving the series at some point) then those episodes should prove memorible. I'm slightly worried that Season 4 will mirror Season 3, which surprised me with 3 good / great stories right out of the gate (the 3rd of which featured the 10th Doctor and the Trixter) but were followed by 2 mediocre stories and horrible finale. Hopefully this will be avoided. There are also rumors that I have less faith in, such as a return of Eldrad (the villain from Sarah Jane's final 4th Doctor story "The Hand of Fear"). Still no word on why Amy Pond isn't in the episode, but I'm thinking (and almost hoping at this point) that she's just not sticking around past this season.

Did the Farm Town thing all morning. I've got Michael on level 78; 2 more to go. Hoping to have him at least on 79 tonight. Also watched an obscene amount of 'Chelsea Lately'; a talk show that I found randomly and then downloaded over a dozen episodes of. It's the first American tv talk show that I've seen and loved in I don't know how long. I also have the new Graham Norton to watch though I haven't yet.

Michael's not feeling well and thinks he has an ear infection and possibly a cold. He's at work. I hope he feels better.

I feel like staying inside. I feel like just chilling inside and not doing much. Some days when that happens I feel it's a waste, but today (like a lot of days recently) my stomach is not dealing well with food and I just want to hide away...and I'm ok with that for now.
