Bald Jason's Musings

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.

I slept for a few hours. I dreamed of Cedar Point.

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.
