I don't think I mentioned before that when Mollie left on Saturday she borrowed the first 2 season of Enterprise, which she was willing to watch because she's got a huge thing for Scott Bakula. Anways, on Sunday I finally got some down time, and really got to relax before work. I started watching the 3rd Season of Enterprise. I have only seen it once before & I remembered liking it, but it's even better this time, as it's serialized storytelling is even better when viewed over a shorter period of time ;-0) Work was pretty slow, and non-eventful, except that I sliced my left hand open on a candy rack, while stocking the soda cooler. It was also the last night that I will be closing with Ben as his last day is tomorrow. He will be helping out around Thanksgiving and Christmas I guess, but his days at Hollywood are numbered.

I was at work again on Monday, with very little rest between the shifts, but even though I felt like I'd been there for years, the shift actually went by fairly quickly, excpet - and this is where it gets kind of darkly comical - I cut my left thumb open with a razor blade (there was a lot of blood) and then I later scraped my right arm open on the sale through rack! I was just not having a good time. lol But I was laughing about it and so were my coworkers so it wasn't horrible exactly. My left hand (given the combined injuries) hurt like hell though.

Bryan's having a birthday party on Saturday; Mark, Mollie, Adam, Carrie & I are all invited. I've already expressed my frustration to Mollie & Bryan for not being able to get them gifts (Mollie's birthday is Sunday); but they know me and they understand that I'm broke. It still sucks for me though. ;-0( I would love to get them both the dvd sets of "Drawn Together" or "Dark Shadows" for Mollie.

After work on Monday I slept for several hours, and a while after I woke up, around 3am, Mark came into my room, still awake, and wanting to buy a $1600 tv. It's a really kick ass price; there's no denying that; we simply don't have the money to spend right now. I hope he saves his card for the tv set later, rather than buying a camera with it as he suggested, because that's what the card was for, and I think in the long run it would make him happier. We also talked about money stuff; doctors dentists, and gothzone - which looks like it will probably be shut down. It's too bad really, because not only did we get wholesale stuff through that place - I also believe he would eventually get it going to a profitable conclusion. But we don't have the money or the energy right now - and a store just wouldn't be a wise choice right now either. I think the closing of gothzone is a wise choice, and a somewhat noble one. I respect Mark more than he can know for his business savy, and in this decision even more so than in his other ones.

I slept for a glorious amount of time today. I woke up around 2:30pm, and I felt really good. I noticed Mollie called so I called her back, and she had tried to make an appointment to get rid of her current kidney stone and they told her the earliest she can get in is in early December!?! And she's either out or very low on pain pills, which she apparently would have to go back to the emergency room to get a refill for!?! What the fuck!?! I'm so angry about this, though I tried to stay calm with Mollie on the phone, because my yelling isn't going to help her...unless I yell at the right people. lol

Mollie & I talked about Enterprise, and it was great to talk Trek with her again. Mollie doesn't like Star Trek, but she loves Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. If that sounds weird, than you probably don't know Trek very well, because Deep Space Nine, even while being very entrenched in Star Trek lore (indeed it is in many ways, the best of all the Treks), it is atypical in that the characters are more developed, and the continuity is so rich, and it's mostly staitionary as opposed to all the other ship based series. Anyways, the first 2 seasons of Enterprise are a mixed bag, which I feel are MOSTLY crap. If you combined all the good & great episodes from the 2 seasons, you might have a good season, but that's all you'd have. The show improves exponentially beginning with the final few episodes of the 2nd season. From that point on, it's mostly one giant story, instead of a bunch of crappy random ones. The characters really grow, and the continuity kicks in like mad, and suddenly the show is a lot more like DS9 than Next Generation. I think she will really enjoy the final 2 seasons, and I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts.

After talking with Mollie, I answered e-mail, and there was a TON of it today. I've been having a lot of discussions in a lot of yahoo groups lately on topics about Slash Art, Dick Size Humiliation - and a great deal more subjects just as diverse. lol And then I decided that I better update my blog. I have tomorrow off as well, and I can't tell you how relaxing that is for me. It's really great.

Ooh - last night I also worked on my webpage a bit, which I don't do nearly as often as I would like. I added a page for my fairly new friend Jonathan (my ex-boyfriend's boyfriend!), and while I don't have any pictures posted yet, I did set up a surprise for him, which will hopefully help him out. Last time I saw him he told me that he had never seen a gay themed movie in which one of the gay characters didn't die of AIDS during the film - thereby destroying the gay love story. I put up some links to random gay movies that I thought he might enjoy. That way he can try renting them, possibly buy them, or just watch them with me & Shawn sometime. ;-0) I also started a page for Solomon & Janella, though I don't have any info on it yet.

So things are good today. ;-0)
