Had a great night with Michael on Friday. Worked on my DCAU Timeline Saturday morning, and then slept. Michael left around 2pm to work on his geneology thing. I got up around 7pm, and burned a Doctor Who / Torchwood disc for Pat & Cara, who I met at DJ's later; Mike & Emily were also there (I returned their LOST DVD's), plus another guy that used to work at Hollywood (I think his name was John) and DJ's wife and kids. I chilled with them for 3 or 4 hours (talking about food, BSG / Caprica, the Whoniverse, Dollhouse and lots of other fun topics) then met Michael back at home. He was working on his laptop, doing his thing; we chilled for awhile. We slept for a bit but I got up to eat (early this morning). My stomach was feeling weird so I stayed up and worked on the DCAU Timeline again, getting most of 2040 done. With Batman Beyond, you mostly want to stick to production order, which is a lot easier than sorting out some of the other DCAU shows...however you do have to do some scrambling to make some of the elements fit together, but I think I've worked that all out and next time around I'll know what episodes to watch, in what order. Just as anyone else who finds my site will know.

I cuddled with Michael for a bit, then he left and I worked on the timeline a bit longer before going to bed again. Mark woke me up to go to his work party, but I had a terrible headache and wanted to stay in bed; that didn't help though; I woke up later with a worse one. I've been trying to not take my pain killer as often, but this time it was needed badly.

The DCAU Timeline thing is working out really well. Sometimes there are setbacks, but other times there are these moments that feel like they are signs that I'm getting it all in the correct order and it's all fitting together. Like how all the flashbacks concerning the deaths of Bruce's parents, him becoming Batman, and taking in Robin all fit together the way I think the episodes go. Well, part of me working on the Timeline in the last 48 hours or so has been me realizing that the information in the series implies season 1 of Batman Beyond is set in 2040, which is something that I don't think I've seen anywhere else online, and I had this little voice in the back of my head telling me that I was messing it all up...until I got to the final Mr. Freeze episode ("Meltdown") and his charachter says he's been that way for 'nearly 50 years' and he hasn't aged a day. I thought maybe this information would clash with something I'd done and I'd have to figure it out...only when I went back and looked what year I'd set his flashback which featured the accident that turned Victor Fries into Mr. Freeze, it was set in 1991, 49 years earlier! How perfect is that? ;-0)

Anyways, my head is still hurting so I don't feel like writing more. Except to say that I had a mostly great weekend. The season finale of True Blood is on tonight; maybe I'll get to watch the final 2 episodes of season 2 tomorrow?
