Work was a lot better today. There were a lot less people, and the ones that were there, weren't half as annoying. lol I worked with DJ, Jeff, Ben, Nate & Scott. DJ asked me a funny question; he asked me if I hated Jeff or just really disliked him, which is odd, because I don't really have anything against Jeff. He can be an ass sometimes, but so can I. He had that really annoying incident a few weeks ago (which was so outlandishly irresponsible that it still boggles my mind), and we had 2 really bad encounters when we first met 3 & 1/2 years ago, but besides that - not a problem. I've actually had fun with him outside of work, and his girlfriend is awesome.

I called Jamie's house on my lunch break, and talked to Mom since Jamie wasn't around. Apparently they don't have power in Milan, where they live, but my Grandfather's generator is helping them out. She also told me Jamie has a 2nd job now, looking after an elderly woman. I guess that Jamie & Coleen(?) are still friends, and that they don't talk about the guy that used to be Jamie's fiance, but then dropped Jamie to be with Coleen!?! I didn't expect anything more from him because he sounds like such a pussy, but from Jamie's best friend I expected a hell of a lot more, and she better hope that I don't run into her. It makes me so angry everytime it comes up - grrrr. I told mom to make sure that Jamie gets my birthday wishes; I wanted her to know that I didn't forget.

I watched the beginning of Star Trek VI on my break, as the new Trek book I'm reading takes place about a year after that film, and the opening sequence of Generations. I'll start that book in a little while. I brought The Phoenix Saga home from work; 5 episodes from the old animated series. It's kind of lame; I enjoy that series far more than X-Men: Evolution (which I thought was horrible) and I respect that they attempted to tell some of the more complex X-Men stories, but I just don't the story came out as well in the animated form. In the comics, the story is golden. We'll see how well it stands up in X3; it's not the only storyline going on there, so I doubt that it will be like the comics either; I'm really nervous about X3 actually. The first 2 films in the serier really raised the bar for Superhero movies in my opinion. The first one is actually very short & sweet - but it makes the X-Men seem real without making them seem silly or stupid, or whatever - which is a huge deal, when you consider what they had to take on. X2 just expanded on that story in every way - and was a fantastic movie going experience. It was great seeing everyone again - and it really felt like a continuation of the first film. This new one is under a new director, and while I believe the entire cast came back for X3, except for a few random smaller heroes (Jubilee & Kitty Pryde), and a few heroes don't appear at all (Nightcrawler) - I want the experience for 3 to be as great as 1 & 2 were. Ok. I'll stop rambling.

Before work, Mark & I got in a little spat. My phone rang, and I could barely hear it. I thought it was coming from my room, but then I couldn't remember bringing it upstairs so I asked Mark he heard it ring, and if it was downstairs. I checked and it wasn't. He went to call it, but I asked him not to - that I didn't want to bother with that right now. He said that he could do it. It was in my room somewhere, so I opened my door and told him that it was in my room, and that I wanted him to stop. I closed my door, and I went to lean against it (I was shaving at the time) and as I was almost to the door it started to open and I closed it with my ass! lol Mark asked me why I was being this way - and then said that I was being a bitch. Now - 1st thing - I didn't slam the door, and I didn't even close it on him as he tried to open it - at least not on purpose. 2nd, I told him that I didn't want the phone thing done, and he did it anyways. 3rd, I told him it was in my room, and to Stop It. I didn't yell any of those things; I made a point to say them politely, because I didn't want to upset him. And for that I'm a bitch. The truth was I didn't have to time to look for my phone at that moment (I was shaving), and I didn't want him digging through my room for my phone, because a) I don't like people around while I'm shaving or getting ready, because it distracts me - and B) (this one's important) Mark's anniversary present was hidden in my room, and I didn't want him to find it while tearing through my room - which is something I shouldn't have had to worry about right? Especially since I conveyed that I didn't want him to do that. Now, I threw him this really huge surprise birthday party - which was hella stressful for me - but never in all the confusion did Mark call me a bitch for trying to keep his party secret. But here he was being an asshole to me, for trying to do something nice for him. And even if I hadn't been - his behaviour was still pretty shitty. I told him I wasn't being a bitch, and explained the whole thing - and that he had ruined his surprise, because he made keeping that secret far too stressful & insulting - and just not that much fun. He insisted I was a bitch, and he didn't talk to me the rest of the morning, except to tell me I needed new shoes - which to be fair, he didn't say in cruel way. By the time he dropped me off at work we were ok, and after work we watched some of that X-Men dvd before I fell asleep.

Our internet connection has been a bit iffy since the storm; apparently comcast is haveing some problems in our area. I got an e-mail from Matt saying he didn't go to Necto either, so now I'm really glad I didn't go. He said he didn't go because he was on call for work; I think he told he owns or runs a coffee shop, so being on call...sounds weird. lol "Come quick Matt, I need a caffeine infusion!!!". lol

I should eat, maybe start that book. Or I might finish the X-Men, or Trek. Or I might organize my manip collection. Stuff to do. ;-0) I hope Mollie is well. She's more than likely finished Enterprise by now, and I wonder what she thought of the Klingon episodes - or about the Shran/Archer goodbye scene on Andoria; and all the other episodes. And although she doesn't love the characters as much as Carrie, Adam, or Mark & I, I'm wondering if she sees how insulting the final episode was!?! Or maybe she got it - and isn't speaking to me as a result of making her watch it. lol I do remember the penultimate episode making me cry...there was a scene in which Phlox is talking about how the crew has become his family...it was nice. ;-0)
