Went back to readng my DS9 book and met some very cool lesbian Cardassian characters. Now that I'm getting back into reading Trek perhaps I can also get back to a project that I've been working on for some time now. I want to build a website devoted to LGBT Inclusive Trek, be it episodes, books, comics, or just films that Trek actors have appeared in...or LGBT actors that have appeared in Trek...SLASH art & stories - EVERYTHING. That's a lot of work though. But maybe once I get it going people might actually contribute? I don't know.

Read more of my book; I have just under 200 pages to go. I slept a little. Ate a bit. Worked on my website. Did more laundry.

Worked on my website more. Michael had mentioned to me the other day that there was only 1 picture of him on the page dedicated to him so I uploaded some more; takes forever to resize everything and get it posted. Listening to tunes and waiting for 1 of my Farm Town fields to be ready to harvest.

Last load of laundry in the dryer. All caught up on new Graham Norton. Got the new episodes of Nurse Jackie & United States of Tara (which wasn't easy - THANKS MARK!) Lots of laughter, then some pain killer for a headache. I just need to finish my 'farming' and then I can sleep. I'm going to Michael's tonight but will be back tomorrow. New Glee tonight (the penultimate episode of the season)! I won't be seeing it until tomorrow, but still! ;-0)
Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara & Glee all end their seasons next week. I'll still have Doctor Who through June 26. True Blood begins June 13.

Just read a lovely passage in my book featuring Tora Ziyal...it brought back memories of her character that I'd not thought on in at least a few years, and made me sad thinking of her coming death.
I burned a disc for Michael. I need to finish my farming for today and burn some more discs...I want to read more...but I'm very tired. We'll see.

I read more of my book before sleeping. Mark woke me up at 5pm to help me get to Michael's in time to be there when he gets home, but I have a headache so I'm moving a bit slower...and also I spoke to Michael and he's at the eye doctor as he started seeing flashes of light (sounds like something I get sometimes; I hope it's nothing serious).
The book (aside from 1 minor continuity flaw) has been wonderful. It feels very much like the latest in a series of books that have exposed the real story of Cardassia and it's relationship to Bajor that was wonderfully told in the series, but only here and there. I think Mollie would really enjoy this book; I think she'd actually enjoy all of the other books that I consider part of this series, which often overlap with one another. If you're reading this Mollie, these are the books that I think you'd like (including one that I know you already do):
Before DS9:
The series runs from 2369-2375.
2318-2328
2345-2357
2357-2375The above book is split into two sides. Side Two covers the years 2357-2375 in an abbreviated yet satisfying fashion, revealing the truth about a long standing mystery in DS9. Side One takes place in 2377 yet has flashbacks to some of the events in Side Two that explain the events still further.
2360-2369Season 2 - 2 years after the show:
2370-2377
Begins in 2376 but covers almost all of Garak's life. Covers some of the same ground as the other volumes with it's own spin on events, and revealing much.
The Cardassia section of this book ("The Lotus Flower") is in many ways, a followup to the previous book.
There are other amazing DS9 books that I'd recommend, but all of these titles have a strong connection to Cardassia & it's people, whom Mollie loves; as do I. If she ever sees these books for sale and has the money, they're well worth the cost.

The headache I had is now both better and worse. The pain in my head is mostly gone, but the pain in my neck and the annoyance in my stomach from the painkiller are both very unfortunate. Ick. Ouch.

Went to Michael's last night. Watched some TNG. Went to Meijer. Watched more TNG. Slept (for about 4 hours). Cuddled. All of it good. Came home this morning just after he left for work. He sent me a sweet text and a voicemail.
I read the news. Did the farm. Watched the new Glee, which had moments, but was mostly, sadly lame IMO. It wasn't the music so much as one of those episodes where the storylines don't really gel or have much real emotion, which is in sharp contrast to the last 3 episodes which hit it out of the park. Hopefully the finale will be good.
Gonna read and sleep.

After the last entry I DID read and sleep. In the book, Dukat has just brought Cardassia into the Dominion (so mid Season 5 of the series now). Things are coming along nicely there. I slept well. Happy dreams again. I dreamt about adventures at my family home, and finding some cool tv treasures (a new DCAU tv series, and a 4th Season of Torchwood). Woke up. The phone rang; it was Michael who was on his way home from work. We barely said hello before he had to call his boss. I read the news online (got a glimpse of Captain America's new outfit for the movie - I approve)...and wrote this.
Back to the book I think.

Read a lot of my book; 102 pages left. The Dominion War is over. Not sure what's happening now.
I spoke to Michael this morning; he gets off work around 4pm. I'm planning on spending tonight - Sunday afternoon with him, then heading back here. I'll probably watch the new Doctor Who. I've got the farm planted with crops that will be ready on Sunday. I've had a headache all morning. I'll probably sleep soon.

Fell asleep after watching several episodes of Chelsea Lately. Slept well, if briefly. Got up. Read the news. Shaved and showered. Getting ready to go. Michael gets off at 4pm apparently, so I'm trying to get to his place before he does, or at least shortly afterwards. Gotta go; much to do.

Made it to Michael's before him. We watched some Trek. I read the last 102 pages of my book ("The Never-Ending Sacrifice"; which was awesome). We slept. Fucked. More Trek ("Chain of Command, I & II"). I came home to get more DS9 books. I'll start them when I get back to Michael's. I also got him a card; he forbade me from getting him any gifts.

I made it back to Michael's. Slept. Saturday we went to Big Lots, Secretary of State, a gas station (I had a coffee drink and Fun Dip), Burgar King, Target, Forest Hill Cemetery, Nicols Arb, home. A great day. Michael's. Shower. Movies ("Alice in Wonderland" rocked; "Legion" sucked, though it made me giggle a few times). More reading. More sleeping. Finished the next book (Worlds of DS9, Volume 1); started the next (DS9: Prohecy and Change). Saturday was mostly sleep and Trek. Around 5pm I took a muscle relaxant for my jaw and was out for most of the night. I woke up off and on while Michael watched the first 9 episodes of DS9; sad that I missed those. I read a little in the morning then went back to sleep. I had strange, if amusing dreams. Headed home around 10am; stopped at Whole Foods on the way. Talked to Michael on the phone. Said hello to Mark. Had a shake. Replied to e-mail.
Blah. I'm still doped up I think. New Doctor Who and sleep I think.

Watched the new Doctor Who (5x10 Vincent and the Doctor) which was good at some moments and fantastic in others. I'll need to rewatch it to figure out my rating but it's either *** or **** stars. I've said before that I'll be happy if these season just avoids anymore * or ** star episodes (as we had at the start of the season) and this remains true.
I slept. I had terrible nightmares about my father being murdered in a sewer, then learning that he'd previously been a serial killer based on abuse at a hospital in which he would lose the name David and become something more monstrous. It seems silly, but it left me shaken, and the dreams were quite violent.
I found out that Mark's dad's house was destroyed during a tornado 4am sunday morning and we found news footage (featuring what's left of their house) on YouTube:
Spoke to Michael on his way home from work. He's having MAJOR issues with work lately.
I want to go back to Forest Hill / The Arb later this week sometime. It's so beautiful there, it's a shame that I've not gone more often in the 16 years I've been aware of it. I think I just associted it so much with Gene that I've avoided it. I wish Mollie was here to go with me! Carrie & I are talking about going; we could have a group day! lol
So there are 3 more episodes this season of Doctor Who. I think they'll all be good, but I'm not sure. The cracks in time storyline that I find annoying should be wrapped up in these episodes which is a relief, but I'm hearing rumors that Amy Pond won't be leaving the series. Part of me is really annoyed by this as I think she's been in a whole slew of bad / just ok episodes that have hurt her, but she was really good in the last episode so maybe if there are more well written episodes I'll like her more?
It's sounding like that the next 18-episode-only season of Brothers & Sisters will be it's last. Though I enjoy the series, I'm ok with that if it's true. If they continue I'd be fine with that as well, but not all tv shows need to continue and as long as it ends well I'm happy with what we have.
I've not gotten any reading done in the last 24 hours. I should take my meds, possibly have a shake, and read.

I have a headache. My Midrin hasn't helped. It's not HORRIBLE, so maybe it did help? It's just constant and annoying. I'll try the imitrex soon.
I read more of 'Prophecy & Change', but it's an anthology, and for some reason I always have trouble with them; it's always slow going for me with them.
I had quite a breakthrough on my Doctor Who listing, and I believe I'll have the order for the remaining installments of Season 31 (to my way of thinking) after the next episode airs. If I'm right, then Season 31 of the Whoniverse consists of 55 episodes: 29 Sarah Jane episodes, 21 Doctor Who episodes & 5 Torchwood episodes. That seems like a lot of Sarah Jane but the thing to remember is that 2 Sarah Jane episodes are only about 5 minutes longer than a regular Doctor Who episode. Also, The Doctor cameos in 3 of those Sarah Jane episodes and is a major guest star in 3 other episodes. Also, 1 of the Sarah Jane episodes is a mini-episode, as is an episode of Who, but in contrast there are 7 Doctor Who installments that are longer than average episodes. The 5 Torchwood installments are also all longer than average installments, and Torchwood ties into at least 3 Doctor Who episodes.
Season 27 had 15 installments.
Season 28 had 15 as well.
Season 29 had 29 installments.
Season 30 had 39.
Season 31 apparently has 55.Season 32 should have less than that, even if Torchwood manages to come back for a full season (which would be awesome).

I just got done typing up a list of all the New Who installments, including Season 31 and the order in which I suspect they'll take place (something that will be decided based on the next episode of Who, but not confirmed until December 2010) and BAM! Finally! News of TORCHWOOD - SEASON 4 has arrived! And the news couldn't be more cool. 10 Episodes on the network that brings the ADULT series SPARTACUS: BLOOD & SAND!?! AWESOME! I'm so excited for this now. Gwen & Jack will be back.
More news here, here, here, here & here.

Slept from around 7pm - 12am. Shaved and showered. Went to Necto (which was mostly lame). Met Stacey, Andrea & Terrance. The music sucked. I danced for about a half hour. Bobby & Becky were there. Paul was there. Monica & her partner in crime. But in terms of fun it was mostly a bust. Blah.

Just went to Farm Town. They added 10 new levels and I got farm cash for every level that I jumped ahead (I jumped ahead all 10 levels). Nice! :-0)
They've also added a ton of stuff. Mulberry Trees (which must be gifted from friends). You can harvest the silk worms from the trees to make Silk in the new Textile Mill. You can all make Cotton & Wool Textiles (from Sheep & Llamas). You can get a Sewing Mill to make clothing out of that stuff. They added cucumbers (4 day crop), which can be made into pickles at the Food Preserve factory. They've added Green Grapes (1 day crop) which along with Purple Grapes can be made into White Wine, Red Wine & Campagne in the new Winery. You can also get a Wine Cellar that ages the wine you produce at the Winery. Very nice additions. I already have the Textile Plant & Winery. I'll get the other stuff later. Yay!

Got a new Trek book in the male; an anthology based on the 7 deadly sins. I read the LUST story which is set in the Mirror Universe and features the Mirror Versions of Sisko & Janel Tigan (Ezri's older brother from "Prodical Daughter") kissing. Janel is hot for Sisko but Ben isn't into it; he thinks of Janel as his best friend. Janel is murdered because of something stupid that Ben does, yet he later avenges Janel's death. Intendant Kira & Mirror Ezri also figure in the plot, though they don't interact. I was a bit confused by the ending, but that's ok I guess. Slept from around 5pm - 1:30am. Watched the Glee finale (cried). Saw an AWESOME 'trailer' for the new Mortal Kombat movie which is just loads of fantastic! Did the Farm Town thing.
I suspect (but don't know) that this week's Doctor Who will lead into the 2 part finale (making it a 3 parter). This theory is based on the fact that nobody is getting screener copies of the last 3 episodes instead of the usual 2. I'm also starting to suspect that Classic Who villain Omega may appear in the finale, having noticed several Omega symbols throughout the season, though again, I don't know if that's the case and I'm probably completely wrong. If the next episode DOES lead into the finale, then it will be, I suspect, the first part of a 6 part story which involves the final 3 episodes of the season, 2 Sarah Jane episodes (coming this FALL) and the Christmas Special. I suppose it's possible we'll get a mini-episode in there as well, but that's not known or even implied at this point. So...it's looking like Season 31 of the Whoniverse consists of 55 episodes. And it looks like Season 32 will consist of roughly 43 episodes. :-0)

Slept a bit. Had interesting dreams. I realize now I'm beginning to have (or have had for awhile) recurring dreams of hotels that are large indoor cities. This bit had some poor street peeps, one of him was obviously gay, asking me about my sexuality. When I woke I wanted to go back and explore, which was impossible...but I hope I make it back there again some night.
I noticed my mom was ahead of me in Farm Town. The first time anyone's been ahead of me in at least 6 months (and that person wasn't even on my friend list). She'll probably beat me for sure in the end as she's having less and less work and needs things to fill her time...while I often times loathe the game, even while others I really enjoy it. However, I made a bit of a stand and I'm working on the farm today. lol
So here's how I think Season 31 of the Whoniverse goes. The only question in my mind for now (aside from what the titles are of the 5 episodes on this list that I don't know yet) is if the next episode "The Lodger" is Part 1 of a 6 Part finale, or if it's just the episode before the 5 part finale. Again, this is just a guess for now as nothing will really be confirmed until December, but this is my best guess and I think I'm right! lol

Left the condo last evening. Took some pictures in Forest Hill. Went to Rite Aid for Mark. Went to Post Office. Went to Hollywood Video to see if Time was in, but found Michael Eisinger & his boyfriend Chris instead! So good to see them! Then off to the storage unit (only they'd closed) and back home so Mark could get stuff for his folks in Dundee, only that was cancelled for some reason. Talked to my bf on the phone. Did the Farm Town thing. Went to bed around 11pm I think. Had oddly sexy, if completely strange dreams. Woke up around 4:30 with a headache. Had a shake and took some Midrin. Called Michael. The Midrin eventually reduced the pain, but it's still there.
In Doctor Who news the plot description for the finale has been released and it's pretty epic & spoiler filled. Not gonna post it here for those that aren't caught up to what's going on. Really looking forward to these episodes...partly because I think they'll be good, and partly to have this current storyline behind us as I haven't enjoyed it as much as the writers probably hoped. There is a slight possability that the finale will change that and retroactively make previous episodes in the season cooler...but I'm not holding my breath. I'm also hoping (but trying not to) that the finale will reveal the title of the Christmas Special...and that we'll soon have titles to at least the 2nd & 3rd Sarah Jane stories, though we probably won't until later in the summer. The finale airs 2 weeks from Saturday.
There are also rumors that Queen Elizabeth I features in this year's Christmas Special. If true then Season 31 would have a bit of a story arc relating to her starting in "The End of Time, Part I", continuing in "The Beast Below" & concluding in the special. Yet it's far too early to know if any of this will come to pass.

Burned discs for Michael yesterday, while continuing to read 'Prohecy & Change'. Went to bed around 5pm. Woke up at 10pm. Left Michael a message. Was up about an hour and went back to sleep. Got up around 4am. Worked on my webpage. Had my meds and a shake (with Green Tea mixed in, which was SURPRISINGLY YUMMY!).
I want to see Michael tonight. Tomorrow we have Kaitlyn's graduation party. Probably stopping by Mark's parents. The Vegan Party I went to last August (I think it was in August) is happening again tomorrow as well). Maybe I can get Michael to go? Carrie will be there. Cheryl & Daniel will be there. George might be there. Billy will not be there.
That shake was really good.

I just read the funniest talkback session to news of Torchwood's 4th Season. It became this huge argument about RTD's 'Gay Agenda' in his Doctor Who years.
"today I learned that whenever two or more gay and/or bisexual people stand in the same room, it's called an "agenda". I'll have to remember that next time I hang out with my friends. We'll have to get more strictly-straight people to join us so that we can more properly allign ourselves with the "correct" straight/gay ratio."
Funny.
Also, again, and this ALWAYS surprises me, you had the anti-gay peeps screaming the virtues of Spartacus which is packed with COCK and several gay sex scenes. Apparently, as long as there are shots of tits & pussy (plus lots of violence) then the gay agenda is ok. lol

Spoke to Michael. I'm going over to his place sometime today and spending the night. Tomorrow I'll go to Kailyn's with Mark, and then probably go to the Vegan thing on my own; it will be nice to see Carrie. I cleared all this with Michael and he says he won't be upset. :-0)
I just read that the 4th Season Finale to The Sarah Jane Adventuress (which will actually feature in Season 32 of the Whoniverse) will be something rather epic. Very cool. I'd heard previously that those episodes feature Androvax returning. Sounds great. In other Season 32 news, Neil Gaiman has finished another draft of his script which he has revealed will be episode 3 of Season 6 of New Who - it will film in August 2010.

Good night at Michael's. Came home this morning to do laundry but Mark was doing his. Then I got hit in the head with a massive migrain and my stomach went all wonky. Mark went to the graduation party without me and my headache got better (with the help of drugs). Just finished the latest Doctor Who (5x11 The Lodger), which is the 2nd episode in a row that I've enjoyed and would give 4 **** (just like that last one)...I'm not sure, but I think the finale will tie into this episode somehow...and if it does, it may raise the score of this one to a 5. I think Mollie would like this episode, and I suspect she'd have liked the previous one too. Oh. And the trailer for the next one looks pretty awesome...but I'm trying to not get my hopes up...it's just that I think these final 2 episodes might be a game changer for the season!

Shortly after I laid down (see last entry) Mark returned home with bad news. The $200 he thought we'd lost (after thinking we'd lost $700, making the $200 sound like good news) turned out to be around $900 putting us in a worse money situation than we'd first thought. Hello STRESS. Add to this that Mark's former employers have still not given him his severance package (he was fired 6 months ago) and that we'll be losing his unemployment benefits in 2 weeks...AND he's used money that we had to pay back money they loaned us for help...and our money situation looks pretty diar. I mean...I pay for all my own groceries and for my drugs and doctor bills, but I rely on Mark for the other stuff...and if I have to get a job to not lost our home I lose my insurance and my ability to get my medications and my life, which is already on the grim side goes to even worse. :-0(
To add insult to injury, he brought in the mail which included a book that I'd ordered (and probably can't afford now) which I'd been told featured some really cool info for a special project I'm working on...only it doesn't (or at least I don't see it) so I was disappointed about that as well.
My headache was getting worse. I lay down. Mark woke me to go to the bonfire but my head still hurt bad and I was depressed about the money situation so I thought it best to stay in to take care of my head (and save on the gas money required to go to the party). I slept. Michael called later (I'd left him 3 messages earlier in the day) to say that he'd been sleeping on and off. I told him what was going on and he told me to call when my head was better...only it never was. He texted me at 2:45 am to say goodnight. I went back to sleep and woke at 6am.
I had dreams that I was in a car accident in Milan and distracted by a trip through the woods to a family friend's home. Later I was in a mental institution and writing angry messages on my face and shocking people with mentionings of porn. Later I was at a gay inclusive school, leaving some friends for a boy I liked. Later still I was being put in drag for a dance. Much later, shortly before waking, I dreamt of killing spiders with hair gel. lol. Strange dreams, but oddly happy ones.

Still awake. Getting hungry. Very excited about Doctor Who again. Really enjoyed the last 2 episodes. Really looking forward to the next episode. This season has been a bit rough, but Seaosn 31 of the Whoniverse has been a huge transitional year with lots of characters dying or leaving and places being destroyed, and with just as much drama behind the scenes as well, I'm willing to cut the season some slack. But Season 32 will hopefully be better ;-0)
Thinking of chilling today. Reading. Doing the farm. Possibly working on my DCAU order thingy. ;-0)
And I'm very glad to not have a headache! Made need to get groceries at some point.

Purple Rain just arrived.

Slept until about 2:30am. Got some Facebook messages from Josh Gerding. Replied. Did Farm Town stuff. Chatted with Chris Gordenier. Had a shake and worked on my DCAU page which...I MAY have found an order for years 1996-1998. I say maybe because I could find some flaw in it, though I think it's harder to place these episodes, not because you could get so much wrong, but simply because most of them could go in any order and I had to find an order that I like, while following the basic continuity that exists there. I do have to make some checks...and then probably watch everything, which will take a long while.
I slept more. Woke up feeling gassy. Fun. lol
New Predators TV Spot:
Here's an alternate trailer for the 2-part finale of Who. Don't watch it unless you're all caught up as it shows a lot of what's come to pass of late and you'll be spoiled:
And here's the longer, even more spoiler-ridden version that aired after the last episode (5x11 "The Lodger"):
Also, for the record, this is how the season stands at this point:
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] ***
5x10 Vincent and the Doctor ****
5x11 The Lodger ****I'm hearing rumors that the finale will tie into all 11 previous episodes in amazing ways; if true and the finale is brilliant, these final episodes could raise the star ratings of the previous episodes involved...or if the finale sucks, this bit of continuity could possibly lower them.
I must stress that I enjoy 5x02 'The Beast Below' aside from some ANNOYING editing / script stumbles and the talking down to the audience. That must sound odd to say that about the episode and claim to enjoy it, but I do. I'm just used to my Doctor Who being better produced - and my Steven Moffat episodes to be BRILLIANT (all episodes written by him previous to this one have gotten **** or ***** so this was a big let down)
'Victory of the Daleks' was mostly lame and then EXTREMELY bad.
'The Time of Angels' / 'Flesh & Stone' would be 4 or 5 star episodes except they ignore a bit of Weeping Angel history and it grates on my nerves - but everything else about those episodes is fabulous, including River Song who comes of extremely well, which is why the episodes get *** stars, even with the major flaw. Again, these episodes had HIGH expectations based on who was writing them, but aside from the one flaw they're pretty awesome - there are scenes in here between River & 11, between 11 & Amy that I love.
The other *** episodes are all fine episodes; they're not terrible...they're just not great. They actually remind me of Classic Who a lot.
The 4 **** episodes are all very enjoyable IMO, yet there's the sense they could be slightly improved. But I'm extremely happy with them as is. I'm hoping the finale will explain a lot...I know it's got TONS of fanwank / continuity porn which I love, I just hope it wraps up this season's story to my satisfaction...while possibly setting up the Christmas Special (I hear it does) or the side trip to Sarah Jane (I here it doesn't, which makes sense).
I just downloaded the Season 3 premiere of True Blood, but I don't think I'll be watching it just yet as I'm consumed by DCAU & Doctor Who.

Did more DCAU stuff. Spoke to Michael. Did more Farm Town.
I just saw a list of the filming 'blocks' for Series 5 of Doctor Who...which is to say that I've seen the order in which the episodes were filmed and if the pattern holds true I think I'll be enjoying the finale! Here's hoping! :-0)
I feel like taking a nap.

Couldn't sleep. STILL awake. Watched True Blood 3x01 "Bad Blood". LOVED IT!!!
Read some new Doctor Who spoilage, which falls in line with some stuff I noticed yesterday. NICE. Not sure what it all means, but looking forward to finding out.
Sleep soon, I hope.

Finally slept last night. It was still light out when I fell asleep sometime after 9pm...and it was light out when I woke so I thought I was maybe out for just a few minutes, but it was morning. lol.
Got more messages from Josh. He's being cryptic. Save Me. That's what he said. But what does that mean exactly?
Here's a cool article about the upcoming Alien Prequels. I do hope they get to make both of them and that they're cool. I also hope "Predators" is successful and they make more of those; I think I read they would go to the Predators' homeworld next? I want to see the entire universe of AVP explored, only in films better than AVP:R, which was the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater.
There's also an article about filming on the final Harry Potter films coming to a close! Wow. Soon these movies will be in theaters and then DVD and we can watch the whole series of films over a week or something. 8 Films. A pretty impressive series if they pull off the ending.
There are also rumors afoot of MASSIVE changes behind the scenes of Doctor Who (which may explain some of the uneven crap we've gotten this season); some of it happening before Season 6, and some after...including Steven Moffat leaving as head writer guy, which, frankly, I'd like to see happen. He's doing a crappy job as head guy (lol - watch the teeth dude!)...um, but he's an AMAZING contributing writer. This season hasn't been a total waste, and I suspect that the finale will bring the season into focus even more, but it's nowhere near as good as the first 4 seasons. Apparently there has been fighting / bitching / corruption behind the scenes; and producers / executive producers are leaving as well. Hopefully they get the mix right sooner, rather than later, because I really think Matt Smith's 11th Doctor deserves to be in some really amazing adventures...and if they don't get the show right it could kill all the momentum they've built up - this season alone has been a bit of a rocky patch. Thankfully we have more Torchwood & Sarah Jane (both still run by the same peeps) to help balance this all out.
Rumored to be leaving Post Series 5
Executive Producer Beth Willis
Producer Tracie Simpson
Producer Peter BennettRumored to be leaving Post Series 6

Did the Farm Town thing. Spoke to Michael. Found some AWESOME SPOILER PIX for the WHO FINALE...which I'll probably post in my blog later; have to resize them and such. The pictures don't spoil anything for me as I already knew all this stuff was gonna happen, but it's got my hyped for the finale.
I wish someone would just go to the store for me! lol. Meaning...my drugs make me not want to do anything...and I need groceries. I've managed to not go anywhere since Saturday morning so I've done my bit to save gas, and I think I'm probably good with my grocery funds. I need food though, and though I have enough for tonight and maybe tomorrow - then I'll be all out. And I don't like being all out. :-0(

More rumors about changes behind the scenes on Doctor Who. Apparently they aren't happy with the current TARDIS cause it's hard to film and that will be changed. If it's done for story reasons I can deal...but I LOVE THAT TARDIS!!!! :-0(
Other peeps that have suppodedly left include Ed Thomas & Ray Holman (Costume Designer). Also 11 will be getting a bit of a costume change with a possible coat / scarf. Hmmm.
My headache is threatening to return.

Had a long conversation last night with Josh G. I don't want to discuss the details here where anyone could read it. Suffice it to say, he said he was sorry for how he treated me way back in 1998...he's going through a crisis that's been building for years, and he needed someone to talk to. I forgave him a long time ago and was honored to be the someone that he turned to. I hope things work out for him.
After the long conversation the grocery store was closed so I couldn't go there. My headache was gone but my stomach felt weird so I stayed in. I talked to Mollie about True Blood and Doctor Who. I slept.
I woke around 9am with the headache back and my stomach in knots. I took my reglan / prilosec / midrin together with food and went back to sleep. I woke around 11am. Talked to Michael online (he's been working on his farm) and then on the phone. I told him about talking to Josh and Mollie. Michael is jealous of Josh now. I've basically been with Micahel for 14.5 months (and I love him so much) and in that time I've never cheated on him...yet he's always threatened when I have any kind of connection with any other man in any kind of way. It hurts me. It annoys. And it's always been an issue. Things happen that I think are wonderful and then comes and shits all over it. First time it was that my friend Willie was in town after not seeing him for like 13 years - Michael got upset that I went to see him at the bar (on my way to the emergency room to see Mollie) and Michael had already fucked 2 other guys (and then me too) that day! Then an ex-bf of mine found out he was HIV+ and I wanted to visit him...Michael got jealous again. If a guy looks at me Michael's upset. If I hang out with a guy Michael's upset. I know it's an issue having to do with Michael's past and the way he's been treated...it just feels like I'm not making any progress with him. And the thing is, these guys I'm connecting with are telling me all these really positive things about me that I need to hear and that makes me wonder why I'm not hearing those things from Michael...or why he's not excited that I'm happy about those things - like my new friend Charles, and now Josh have both encouraged me to get back to my writing...only Michael seems to think that's a bad idea or something. Erg.
Anyways...I'll see him later. He told me he feels alone. It's only been 4 days since I saw him last, and I've not been feeling well. And he could have come to see me in that time and I would have been fine with that. I'm shutup about that now.
So...I did the dishes and put them away. Put away some of my laundry. Did the farm thing...which I have to do again soon. I need to get groceries later and see Michael. I'd like to get all kinds of things done...yet I'm tired. I cleaned up my room a bit; made the bed and picked up the dirty clothes and trash.

I showered and started shaving but ran out of hot water. I was about to start up again when Michael called, needing a ride to work cause he had a flat tire. I was happy to go (though I probably looked weird being half shaved!) and I tried talking to him about our problems in the car but said he couldn't talk about it now because he was already stressed. I get that, because when I get stressed I get super ill, but we're gonna have to deal with this eventually or it might rip us apart. Erg.
I stopped at Kroger on my way home. Got paper towels. Soy & Coconut ice cream. Soy Milk. Tofu dogs. Pringles. Wheat Bread. And Cherry Crush. Now I'm hungry.
Oh. And a BIG THANK YOU TO MARK - who harvested my farm for me while I was out in Detroit with Michael! :-0)

A book I've been wanting to read arrived at my door a bit ago: Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale. I chatted with my neighbor Alice for about 20 minutes. Came in; had a shake. Did my farm. I'd really like to shower off this stinky spray-on sunblock (I ran out of the kind I love) but showering after eating is often problematic for me. I'd like to shower though, and finish shaving, and go see Michael.

Read a bit, then fell asleep. The phone woke me up. It was Michael. He told me to go back to sleep but I couldn't so I showered and finished shaving. I threw up a lot. Something about showers after I eat. It's never painful...it's just gross, and unfortunate. I fear that my pills have stopped working and I made need to try the surgery they suggested, even if it only works for 3 months. I'm afraid.

Went to Michael's to sleep last night. Slept well. Cuddled well. Before going over Michael expressed again that he feels alone, and then that he wasn't sure he wanted me over...I'm not sure what that's about and we will have to talk about it.

Slept more after the last entry. Watched Doctor Who 2x01 "New Earth"; first time in at least a year. Nice. Went to Michael's around 12:30am to help him out with some trouble but couldn't lay down as my stomach was acting up. Harvesting my farm now and trying to not lay down...but I'm very tired and probably won't last much longer.

I did pass out after the last entry. Did mostly nothing on Friday. Michael was supposed to come over and join me, but our plans fell apart when one of his people called in and he had to stay at Arby's all fricking day. I was sad. But not mad. I stayed up to talk to him after work, but he had to let me go...said he'd call back. I fell asleep (this was around 2am today) expecting the phone to wake me up, only it was dead when I woke up so I'm wondering if it died...and then he called...only there's no voicemail. I hope he's ok!
Did Facebook stuff. New stuff on Farm Town; I don't have room on my farms right now though. I'll rearrange them tonight when my crops are ready.
I'm hungry.
I'm excited to see the new Doctor Who today (5x12 "The Pandorica Opens").

Enjoyed the new Doctor Who. I'd rate it **** stars for now as it's Part I. If Part II brings everything out in a satisfying way this one could jumpt to ***** yet if Part II is crap then this one might actually lose some points. I really want this final story to be awesome as it incorporates bits from almost every story this season and if the story turns out to be a classic then it will help redeem some of the season, and give the rough patch of 5x02 "The Beast Below" - 5x05 "Flesh & Stone" a greater importance and more of a reason for being.
I reorganized my Farm Town. Gonna chill. Don't need to harvest anything until Monday.

Didn't get to see Michael last night, except online / cam. Slept.
Started re-reading the DS9 Relaunch today. Not the pre-relaunch titles like 'A Stitch in Time' or 'The Lives of Dax' as I've read those once twice or more already, but I've started with Avatar, which I've not read since 2001, maybe?
I'm sleepy.

Sunday night we (Mark & I) went to Little Caesars, then went out to Michael's work to visit him which was fun. So great to see him! Later we went to Aut Bar as Mark can now go upstairs to play pool. He played pool and won. I sat at the bar. I ran into some girls I met the other day & met a coworker of theirs named Ryan, and a close frined of his named David. David & Ryan were originally from Adrian (David lives there again now; Ryan lives in A2). We had lots to talk about. My ex-bf Jeremy was also there and I got a nice big hug from him.
After we got home I stayed up playing Egyptian Pyramid Solitair??? I got a pretty high score and beat all my friends ;-0) After hours of that I watched the latest Graham Norton (Funny!) & True Blood (Sexy). Slept well, all day.
I read more of Avatar (the DS9 book - not the movie - which they just made a porn out of!). I just didn't feel like doing anything yesterday! I told Mark I felt drugged. I talked to Michael on the phone a bit. I didn't go to the bar last night. I eventually slept.
Woke up. Did the Farm thing. Read the news.
True Blood has been renewed for Season 4. The Secret Diray of a Call Girl has been renewed for a 4th / final Season!

I made my bed. Showered and mostly shaved (skipped some bits for the electric razor later - I soooo need new razor blades). I'm just trying to get ready for Michael's later. I'm staying tonight through Thursday morning, or that's the plan for now. It will be nice as I haven't seen him much lately. I'm thinking of getting groceries on my way there so I'll have food to eat and then I can just bring everything home with me.

I did the dishes and took out the trash before heading over to Michael's on Tuesday. I got there at 4:30pm. Michael didn't end up getting off of work until close to 7pm. I read while I waited. I also did his dishes and took out his trash. Later we cuddled and had 'the sex'. I went to Whole Foods; I tried something new; wholegrain honey maple walnut flax cookies; yum. We watched Star Trek. We slept. I woke up feeling ill again. Been feeling ill almost all the time lately. I really think my pills have mostly stopped working at this point and I'm really considering surgery though it frightens me. If it worked that would be so much better than the way I'm living now. I slept a lot. Later went to Meijer and came home during a tornado warning, which didn't end up amounting to much. We watched more Trek and a thunderstorm packed with lightning; there was so much that it was like the sky was a strobe light. Later, around 11pm I headed home as I wasn't tired and Michael was heading to bed soon (he has to be up at 6am). I worked on my farm; had a snack and looked for Doctor Who news.
The titles for season 4 of The Sarah Jane Adventures have been released. The first 3 stories will be set in Season 31 of the Whoniverse. The final 3 will be set in Season 32. All 6 stories (12 episodes) should air this fall. The Slitheen are said to feature in an episode (which sucks) but in a limited capacity (thank Joss!). A 5th Season and a SJA Special will most likely air in 2011. Here are the episode titles and what I know about them:
4x01 The Nightmare Man, Part I
4x02 The Nightmare Man, Part II
written by Joseph Lidster
directed by Joss AgnewK-9 Mark IV & Luke Smith leave the series in this story. I'll be sad to lose both characters, but perhaps they'll be back in future stories? They don't die. They just leave - probably so Luke can go to some fancy school or something; that's just a guess on my part.
4x03 The Vault of Secrets, Part I
4x04 The Vault of Secrets, Part II
written by Phil FordI've heard that the robotic Men In Black from animated Doctor Who installment "Dreamland" will appear here, which I hope is true. Dreamland was also written by Phil Ford, and he's brought imagery from that special to Sarah Jane before in "Prisoner of the Judoon, Part II". I LOVE cross-series-continuity, and continuity in general so I'd be happy for this to be true.
Supposedly a yellow and black monster was spotted?
4x05 Death of the Doctor, Part I
4x06 Death of the Doctor, Part II
written by Russell T. Davies!!!Features the 11th Doctor & Jo Grant (companion to the 3rd Doctor). This will be the first time former head writer of Doctor Who will get to write for the 11th Doctor! I'm very excited about these episodes. I read somewhere that the team will be taken inside a secret base beneath Snowdon, and that a race of vulture like undertakers known as the Shansheeth (voiced by David "Argus Filch" Bradley) appear here.
Will Amy Pond be appearing as well?
Most likely set between the series finale of Doctor Who and it's Christmas Special.
It's rumored that Jo has several children and grandchildren and one of these characters might serve as a replacement for Luke?
4x07 The Empty Planet, Part I
4x08 The Empty Planet, Part IIA visit to an alien world; a first for the SJA. I think this is the episode featuring yellow & red robot creatures, but I'm not sure. I've seen pictures of them so I know they appear somewhere and it was rumored to be this story.
4x09 Lost in Time, Part I
4x10 Lost in Time, Part IIRumored to feature Queen Jane & horses. It's also been said that the Trickster is not involved in the time travel story.
4x11 Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith, Part I
4x12 Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith, Part IIIt's said that Androvax (from "Prisoner of the Judoon") returns here. It's possible, given the title that The Trickster returns here, and / or possibly the Judoon as well. The people making the episode were told to treat these as if they were the last episodes of the series (though they knew they'd be back for at least 1 more season); to give it an epic kind of feel. I'm excited for that kind of feeling in a story and I enjoyed Androvax the first time around so I'm looking forward to these for sure.
And that's it. This is the strongest sounding season of Sarah Jane yet! Season 1 was ok. Season 2 was...ok. Season 3's first 3 stories were all awesome, and then the final 3 were mediocre at best. Hopefully this season will have every story kicking ass! Now if I just knew the title of the Christmas Special I'd know all the titles for Season 31 of the Whoniverse, though I won't be sure how the final 3 installments go until the Sarah Jane episodes air. But here's how I think they probably go:
The Whoniverse - Season 31:
01 Day of the Clown 1
02 Day of the Clown 2
03 Secrets of the Stars 1
04 Secrets of the Stars 2
05 The Next Doctor
06 Mark of the Berserker 1
07 Mark of the Berserker 2
08 The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith 1
09 The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith 2
10 Music of the Spheres
11 From Raxicoricofallapatorius With Love
12 Enemy of the Bane 1
13 Enemy of the Bane 2
14 Planet of the Dead
15 Mona Lisa's Revenge 1
16 Mona Lisa's Revenge 2
17 Prisoner of the Judoon 1
18 Prisoner of the Judoon 2
19 Dreamland
20 The Mad Woman in the Attic 1
21 The Mad Woman in the Attic 2
22 The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith 1
23 The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith 2
24 The Waters of Mars
25 Children of Earth: Day One
26 Children of Earth: Day Two
27 Children of Earth: Day Three
28 Children of Earth: Day Four
29 Children of Earth: Day Five
30 The End of Time, Part I
31 The End of Time, Part II
32 The Eleventh Hour [Part III]
33 The Eternity Trap 1
34 The Eternity Trap 2
35 The Beast Below
36 Victory of the Daleks
37 The Gift 1
38 The Gift 2
39 The Time of Angels [Part I]
40 Flesh and Stone [Part II]
41 The Vampires of Venice
42 The Nightmare Man 1
43 The Nightmare Man 2
44 Amy's Choice
45 The Hungry Earth [Part I]
46 Cold Blood [Part II]
47 The Vault of Secrets 1
48 The Vault of Secrets 2
49 Vincent and the Doctor
50 The Lodger
51 The Pandorica Opens [Part I]
52 The Big Bang [Part II]
53 Death of the Doctor 1
54 Death of the Doctor 2
55 2010 Christmas SpecialIf 'Death of the Doctor' is set after the Christmas Special, which I find unlikely, but possible, I'll just exchange those 2 stories, or possibly relocate the SJA story to Season 32. I won't know for certain until I see them. Happy to have the titles though!

Woke up feeling refreshed after not having slept exceptionally long. Read the news. Unfortunately, it seems we won't be getting the title to the Doctor Who Christmas Special after the next episode as I was hoping. I know the episode sets up the Christmas Special and that there is then a layover for the characters on The Sarah Jane Adventures, which is why both stories are part of Season 31. There's more news about Scream 4 filming in Michigan and Ann Arbor in particular (most of the film is being shot here), but I find this less exciting and slightly annoying, as I think it might ruin the movie for me, and I'm someone who's been looking forward to a Scream 4 pretty much since the last one was released. It wasn't a project that I wanted them to do right away, but something that feels right now. I read a synopsis of Pirates 4 which doesn't sound that impressive; my experience with the series is hit or miss. I loathe the first film, love the 2nd film & enjoy the 3rd film. I'm not sure the world (or I) needed a 4th film but I may give it a chance someday. And it appears we'll get our first real trailer for the 7th Harry Potter film Monday, June 28th. I'm looking forward to seeing that.

Worked on my farm last night / this morning. Also watched Graham Norton and Chelsea Lately. Had an erotic dream about Mark's dad? Crazy. I slept well this morning, but woke up around 1:30 with a horrible migrain. I took Midrin with food. Later I took a hot shower. It felt like the meds were finally kicking in and then the headache came back harder. I jacked off, because sometimes that helps. It didn't. I took another hot shower. I used ice on my neck. I took a 4th Midrin. Nothing. The edge is barely off. This SUCKS.
On the bright side, I made some cool connection in my DCAU thing, which I'm hoping to work on soon. I just need this headache to go away. I want to spend time with Michael (our plans tonight have been cancelled because of this fucking headache) and I want to see the Doctor Who finale tomorrow. I read earlier that this season of Doctor Who will be on DVD around Christmas. "Dreamland" comes to dvd in October I think. I think Sarah Jane Season 3 comes to dvd this fall too, but I'm not sure. That will give us all but 7 episodes of Season 31 of the Whoniverse on DVD.
I'm gonna lay down in the dark for awhile. If the headache doesn't end or I can't sleep I'm gonna attempt to eat and hope my eating pill knocks me out. Ugh.

My headache is better...but still not gone, which is pissing me off. I feel like I almost lost a friend tonight but that could just be me (and him) being dramatic, like we are. Thankfully that was averted, though things are a bit strained right now. I chatted with my cousin's gf who ROCKS! Looking forward to more conversing with her. Also, I've been making lots of progress on my DCAU thing, but 1 thing that's been holding me up is that I don't have all the episodes that take place in the DCAU...only a very good friend thinks he can get them for me; I might have ALL the DCAU episodes very soon! How cool is that? Well, for me, it's very cool. I'm not sure what quality they'll be in as these are episodes that have never been released on DVD but if I can watch them that will be a huge help! And if they'd just fricking release them on DVD so I could buy them that would be even better!
I'm exhausted. And my head won't stop pounding. I might try to sleep, though I wish I was with Michael. I miss him.
Doctor Who in about 12 hours!

Got some sleep. Headache seems to be gone! I hope it lasts. I now have ALL of The Zeta Project & Lobo. I might soon have all of Static Shock. I'm getting the season finale of Doctor Who right now! After Who I'm gonna get ready and go see Michael if he's available. :-0)

So I watched the Doctor Who finale. I liked it. I think. It's very confusing. I liked it. I feel like I liked it. lol. But I don't understand it. I mean...I sort of understand it, and yet I'm not sure I understand the repurcussions of what happened. The episode didn't tell us, and it left lots of plots dangling for next year, which I kind of like, yet I'd like some reassurance about 1 of those plots; I want to know that it will come back and I will then understand something...and if the rest could be explained that would be great.
I showered and shaved (mostly) and called Michael but he's stressed and not feeling good so I might not see him. :-0(
I have more of Static Shock than I did. I may have more soon. I will hopefully have all of it soon. Keep your fingers crossed.

Around 1am I went for a walk uptown with Michael. He's really stressed out lately. I had a drink at Aut Bar which was stronger than usual; got a buzz. I'm worried about Michael though; I hope everything works out.
I now have all of Static Shock! Thanks Mark!
I'm sleepy but don't feel like sleeping.

I watched some Static Shock before going to bed this morning. I slept for several hours; got up around 3pm when Michael called me on his way to work. I harvested and plowed my farm. I read the news. "Torchwood: Children of Earth" & "Watchmen" (2 LGBT inclusive & cool fantasy / sci-fi productions) won Saturn Awards. Torchwood (a Doctor Who spin-off) beat it's parent program's "The End of Time" (and rightfully so)! I worked on my DCAU thing then ate. The eating made me tired and I slept again, which was actually really great - really vivid dreams. I woke around 10:30pm. Talked to Michael again on the phone. Had a shake (which has stayed down so far.
Michael just called and says all my blogs should be about him. All worship the Michael God! ;-0)
My cheek still hurts; I bit it last night when I stumbled, eating skittles).

Monday. Early morning went to Michael's - ended up chilling and having sex. Had bad stomach cramps later, all through the day. Got lots done on my DCAU page. Watched True Blood 3x03, the ending of which truly disturbed me (and later, Mark). Had tentative plans to go to Necto with Michael, but he wanted to watch stuff more, and I was fine with that; I slept.
Woke up around 3am. Worked on my farm and other Facebook stuff. Chilling.

Got some more work on my DCAU page. Watched "Justice League: Crisis of Two Earths" which I loved. It's not set in the DCAU, but the original script was, and it can be used to explain changes between Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. Very cool.
Speaking of very cool, here's the trailer for the final Harry Potter movies:
Also loving the music of the Broken Bells.
