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.
