I dreamt about Kevin again; he was very happy and very talkative. I don't remember much of the dream, but I do remember telling him that people weren't going to believe that I was dreaming of him again; he thought that was rather funny. ;-0)

Tuesday was the anniversary of my first date with Mark Adams; that was 9 years ago, and we are still together in some capacity; that's amazing. We have seperate rooms, but our lives are very much entwined, and I don't mind a bit; I wouldn't have it any other way. Sunday was actually the anniversary of the night we met. wow.

Speaking of Mark, he got a raise at work (not exactly what he was looking for, but a step in the right direction) which means that our planned exodus from Michigan, will probably be postponed for awhile. That's fine with me; I want Mollie to come with us, and her situation requires more time.

Yesterday the snow began in earnest, and the windshield wipers on the car did nothing. It was pretty disturbing. I've gotta get a new one later, and I have to pay the cable bill. grr. I got a lot done though; I got groceries; dropped off my movies; got my DS9 back from Josh; dropped off a tape for Carrie at Pizza House, though I didn't stay and eat; haven't eaten there in months. And I rented lots of porn. lol Being single, and really horny, and lacking a partner...this will do for now. ;-0)

People who aren't Star Trek fans should just skip the rest of this entry.

I don't want this to be the final season of Enterprise. The quit watching the show after the first few episodes annoyed me. I caught an episode here or there, but still found it boring; though I did love the AIDS analogy episode "Stigma". The show just seemed too boring, and didn't 'feel' like Star Trek. I read reviews of episodes as they aired, so I had some idea of where the show was going, and I liked what I heard of the 3rd Season; a season long story arc, but the episodes I actually saw didn't impress me. Then word came of a new head writer for Enterprise's 4th Season (Manny Coto) who wanted the series to embrace it's orginal prequel concept, and I got excited about the show for the first time. Since then the show has produced 7 consecutive episodes the I loved, which helped explain a lot of the stuff that made no sense to me before (Why are the Vulcans such asses?) and suddenly, the older seasons don't seem so bad either. I actually had access to the entire 3rd Season so I finally watched it and I love it! I've seen the first 11 episodes of the 1st Season and a handful of episodes from the 2nd. The show is released on DVD, starting in May 2005; I look forward to it. Anyways, Enterprise now rocks my socks, and I've heard about a lot of the upcoming storylines, and they sound fantastic! This Manny Coto is just filled with great story ideas for Enterprise; stories we won't get to see if the show ends this season. So I don't want it to end.

I'm a trekkie. And I know this. lol

That said, I have two geeky fears of upcoming storylines. 1 is a Mirror Universe episode; I like the so-called Mirror Universe, but feel that the intro to it in Classic Trek, and most of the followups on DS9 were perfect, and I'm not sure it will work for Enterprise, or how it will be executed, when Kirk is said to have discovered that universe. The first episode of the show screw up tons of continuity (first contact with the Klingons) but they've since been doing very well in this area, so I'll wait to see the episode before I freak out. lol The 2nd thing I'm worried about is that Manny is talking about a 5th Season, Season Long Story Arc, about the founding the Federation. The current season of Enterprise should end in early 2155; the United Federation of Planets was incorporated in 2161 (per the chronology, and Next Gen's "The Outcast" & "The First Duty"). I don't want them to fuck that one up. Besides the fact that the Romulan Wars should take place in 2156; which they seem to be setting up already. blah. lol If you had told me, a year ago, that I was going to love this show, and care what they did with it, and also embrace the previous seasons I would have laughed, and then probably insulted you. But here I am. And I love it.
