Didn't get to sleep until after noon. I listened to Adam Lambert's CD twice. I've never seen American Idol, and didn't care they had a gay contestant (even if he was GLAM and sort of cute)...it was hard to stay away from news of him on the gay news sites, but the latest news about his 'controversial' AMA performance and his extremely cool response to said controvery got me interested. Amazing voice really.

So I listened to Adam, and I watched 1 of those Doctor Who Tribute Specials they aired earlier this year ("The Companions"), then read some of my Voyager book, which I'm enjoying. I've been meaning to read this one for awhile. There are currently 6 Voyager books that are set after the series (plus a bunch of other books where characters from the series appear). I read the first 2 when they were new, I started the 3rd one but couldn't get through it. I later learned I wasn't alone; that many people had a problem with the the 3rd & 4th books. There was a long break between installments (4.5 years), but the 5th volume got rave reviews, not just from Voyager fans or people that had read the first 4, but for fans who'd never read a Voyager book before, so I decided (against my nature) to skip books 3 & 4 and try the 5th. So far I'm really enjoying it, and don't feel lost at all (though I may someday read 3 & 4). There's a 6th volume on my shelf just waiting for me to get through this one, which many reviewed as the 2nd half of this one (which is itself sort of 2 books in one, so a duology that is really a trilogy).

I slept. I dreamt about friends in a tv show; misfits being cool...then shopping for books for Janice, only to be shown an animated book by Linda Riker...just before waking - something about the making of the 1933 King Kong. I had woken around 4pm. There was a text from about an hour before from Michael saying he was on his way home. I set up plans to maybe come over, or stay home and sleep. I felt more awake as I went so I showered and dressed. Michael was to watch a Torchwood episode, which is followed by 2 Doctor Who episodes I'd like to see with him, followed by a Torchwood episode I'd like to skip, and another Doctor Who episode I'd like to see (which is really good place for him to stop for now - because the next 8 episodes are linked) - is that confusing? It looks like this:

29x18 Out of Time (TW 1x10)
29x19 Human Nature [1] (DW 3x09)
29x20 The Family of Blood [2] (DW 3x10)
29x21 Combat (TW 1x11)
29x22 Blink (DW 3x11)

So I wanted to watch "Human Nature", "The Family of Blood" & "Blink" - I'd have loved to have seen "Out of Time" as well, but there wasn't time (loll) for me to join him for that one, and I knew it. So, yeah, I texted him to skip to 'Combat' and then we could watch the other 3 when I got there...only he misunderstood and started watching the movie "Wanted" with his roomie...so now I'm all ready to go over there, only they're watching this movie, that I sort of want to see (but not from the middle) and not with people who haven't seen it yet (cause I know how it ends - it was spoiled for me).

Michael suggested I come over now and he could stop watching the movie (which he obviously wanted to rewatch) and we could watch Who on his computer in his room - but I was there the other night when David was watching TV in the livingroom, with us in the bedroom with the doors closed and the racket was beyond annoying. So...I'm sitting here, having RUSHED through my 'breakfast' to get ready, only now I'm just sitting here, disappointed, when I could have had a proper meal, only there's no room in my tiny stomach for that now, and it's upset that I rushed it in the first place. :-0(

Erg.

I'm trying not to feel down, but it's not working. I had this mad burst of energy, and now it's all gone and I just feel gutted. Blah.
