Bald Jason's Musings
Sunday, March 13, 2011
So what's been going on? Not much really. I watched another
episode of 'Spartacus'; 3 more to go. I watched another
episode of 'Six Feet Under' 5 episodes left and that will be
done. I read more of my book but hit a patch I'm having
trouble getting through. My stomach has been upset...Mark
is filing bankruptsy, our car doesn't have insurance
now...been thinking about getting a job yet I'm not sure I can
without a car...I probably won't be able to get my pills back. I
don't feel like dating, though interacting with people usually
cheers me up...I've not seen Michael or spoken to him in 2
weeks today. I feel kind of zombie-like. I think it's because of
the painkiller Mark gave me. They help with my headaches,
but I feel sluggish for a day or two later.

I got to talk to Mollie yesterday morning which was
fantastic! :)I've watched a bunch of "The Clone Wars" now, and I'm
actually really loving it. I've not read my book in like a
week; perhaps when I'm done with this series. I've watched
the first 28 installments; there are 65 so far, with 2 left to
air next month that will end the season. The series has
actually cemented the prequel era as my favorite; the
series is just so much more epic and intense than the
movies. :)I also watched the new Glee episode, which was the 2nd
episode in a row to make me cry. It's nowhere near a
perfect show, but it's fun, and it has some pretty awesome
moments.I slept for a bit tonight but woke up from a nightmare
about death. I do that sometimes and I'm so certain that
death is this horrible thing...and then...that fades. Perhaps
death is horrible, but there's nothing I can do to prevent it
so it's pointless to worry about it.Oh. Our car has insurance now! Also, I apprently have an
amazing credit score :) Mark will be filing bankruptcy
today.I'm feeling stressed. I think I might take a Xanax. I just
feel...horrible.Michael sent me an e-mail the other day. I didn't respond.
He says his life sucks right now; that he's about to lose his
car and that his family is being horrible...and I don't want
him to be suffering, but there's nothing I can do to help,
and being in contact with him would hurt me. Just getting
the message hurt me. I just need to stay away from him.The mini-episodes of Who are on Friday. The main season
starts on April 23; Mark's 40th Birthday.Another cool think about watching The Clone Wars now
instead of as they aired, is that you find out later in the
run that they don't happen in the order that you think they
do, so I've actually been able to watch them in
chronological order, which I love. There will be at least 2
more seasons of the series. I'm interested to see how it
will end. It has balls and I'd hate for it to end with a
whimper...there are important questions that need to be
answered...like what happens to Anakin's padawan Ahsoka
as she doesn't appear in Episode III & we never hear or see
her again. And will the end of the series tie into the
previous Clone Wars Micro Series or will it ignore it? It's
hard to say. But I'm really looking forward to finding out.I think I'll make a shake. Then I have to get Mark up for
work...which could be difficult as he's out of waffles...lol.

I had a great day yesterday. The news from Mark's lawyer
is good, which is a huge relief; he'll filing bankruptcy on
Monday. I slept extremely well. I watched more 'Clone
Wars', which I love now. I'm well into Season 2 now, and
I've managed to figure out more of the chronology, which I
look forward to sharing with friends who may watch the
series after me. I'm very excited to see where the series
goes. Later, in the evening, Mark & I took a long walk
because it was gorgeous outside (in the 60's). It probably
won't last, but I expect the warm weather to return for
good sometime in April. We ran into my cousin Nina
(pronounced Nine-ah) downtown; it was nice to see her.
We then went to Starbucks where we struck up
conversation with 2 guys...1 was named Jordan, who's 35
and used to work at Pizza House and knows Carried;
recognized me from Hollywood Video - and his friend's
name escapes me but he's a professional photographer /
photo-journalist - they were downtown getting pictures of
George Clooney, Ryan Gosling & Evan Rachel Wood
(filming for their movie 'The Ides of March') - it was fun
talking about movies and stuff. Then we went to 'Vault of
Midnight' comic shop where I talked about how refreshing
it is when they show male superheroes with a bit of bulge
in their crotches - as opposed to the normal flat crotches,
where it seems that none of the characters have cocks. lol.
Fun. Then we walked home. I talked to my sister Janice &
then our grandmother on the phone. My grandmother
admitted that of all the men I've dated, that she didn't like
Michael and that she never trusted him. Janice & I are
visiting with our Dad today; I have to pick him up around
1pm and then we'll meet Janice back here. After picking
up some stuff here Mark & I drove to Kroger for groceries
and then Little Caesars for food. I watched the latest Glee
(2x16 Original Song) with Mark while we ate then he went
to his room and I took a nap.I woke up hot and sweaty. Yuck. I took my dishes
downstairs and started up the dishwasher. I'm thinking of
cleaning up my room and shaving - I've not shaved in over
a week and the beard is itching. Double yuck. I'll probably
then watch more Clone Wars; next up is a trilogy of 2nd
season episodes: 2x12 The Mandalore Plot [Part I], 2x13
Voyage of Temptation [Part II], & 2x14 Duchess of
Mandalore [Part III]. Once in the proper order almost all
the stories are multiparters, or if there is a stand alone,
it's a sequel to earlier episodes.Oh. So 2 bits of disappointing sequel news...first, the
script that Kevin Williamson did for Scream 4 (the one
which Wes Craven and the cast came back to film and got
them excited about a new trilogy) was rewritten during
filming by Ehren Kruger - the person who wrote Scream 3
- the movie which revealed the killer at the end of the
movie as a character that was found dead during the film
- with no fucking explanation as to how he survived. Blah.
This has me (and apparently Wes) less excited about the
prospects for Scream 4 (or for the original idea for a new
trilogy. Blah. Not cool. Also, the new Wolverine movie that
was going to be directed by super-cool-director-Darren
Aronnofsky will now be directed by someone else. :( The
studio and Jackman are still commited to the film and the
script is supposed to be great...but I wanted him to direct
it damn it. :(Ah well.
Ooh. Mini-Who episodes today!!!!

Friday. I didn't get much sleep. I did the dishes. I did
laundry. I shaved and showered. I got Mark up for work
with his usual breakfast; he worked from home. I picked
my dad up at 1pm and met Janice back at the condo. We
took a bus ride downtown to get coffee. It was a good day
for the bus, because while it was still nice outside, it was
also a bit more chilly than on Thursday. I bought dad
coffee and a cocoa for Janice. It was a nice visit. Janice had
a to leave and we waited about an hour to take my dad
home so we wouldn't have to drive through rush hour. I
was exhausted so Mark was nice enough to drive us. On
the way home we got gas and went to Kroger because I
had a coupon I wanted to use, and I also wanted to take
advantage of a sale. I went to bed when we got home
(after watching the new mini-eps of Who which were ok),
hoping to wake up in time to go to the bar only I woke up
around 1:30am - which bummed me out, but I needed the
sleep so it's probably ok - I just felt like I had missed
some fun is all. I worked on a collage and read news,
which included that there will apparently be 3 more Who
themed mini-episodes to be broadcast online in the UK -
hopefully someone will post them here too or they'll be
bonus eps on the DVDs or something. I should eat as I've
not had anything substantial in about 17 hours. Perhaps
I'll watch more Star Wars.Doctor Who Season 6 begins 5 weeks from today. Mark
will turn 40 that day. He was 23 or 24 when I met him. I
love him so much. He actually has 2 dates today and 1
tomorrow. 3 dates in 1 weekend. Crazy! I've never done
that before.Yesterday marked 19 years since I went to Mercywood. I
didn't even think of it until now. If I had, then I definitely
would have gone to the bar. Damn.
