My plans for Thursday night were fine. After I came home, and Mark left for the condo meeting, I watched "Spider-Man" the movie, and then Jeremy called me, and we talked about his trip to New York, and other random things. I let him go so I could call Mark & remind him that I needed the car. He came home as soon as he could, and then we went to Hollywood Video, so I could say 'goodbye' to Kyle, which went very well. We went to Meijer so I could get some groceries, and then we headed back home, where I watched "Spider-Man 2" and later "Another Gay Movie", which was really, mostly, gross. It's nice, I guess that they can now make gay comedies that are just as wretched as their straight counterparts, but there's a reason that I don't watch those movies. lol

Friday I was late for work. Mark's coughing was keeping me awake, and I was so exhausted that I gave in, and wore some earplugs to bed...which meant that I didn't hear my alarm clock, and I was late for work. Mark has gotten far less sleep than I have, but I've not been getting a lot of it lately either. :-0( I worked with DJ, Bryan, Bobby, Pat, & Heidi. It's possible other people were there, but it's kind of a blur right now.

I came home right after work, as I felt sort of out of it. I forgot to get change for Mark & Mollie's poker game. I was kind of cranky. I read a myspace message from this guy I met last Saturday named David; he asked me if I heard that my friend Bill Saunders had emergency surgery on Monday!?! I thanked him for informing me, then sent Bill a message. I don't usually talk with him that often, but I had sent him a message earlier in the week; when I didn't get a response I just assumed he was busy. Now I knew for sure that he had been very busy. I later heard that he was doing a lot better, which was good to hear.

I layed down for awhile, and though I didn't really sleep, I felt better later, took a shower, and decided I'd go get Mark's change, a pizza, and some stuff I'd left at work. Mollie & Carrie arrived around this time, and I chatted with Carrie before I left. Most of the other players (Wendy, Erica, Phil, Jennifer, Zach, Paul, &...Rob?) arrived just as I was leaving.

When I got back I watched the first half of Tuesday's Nip/Tuck episode while I ate. Then I went downstairs to mingle with the players. It was fun, chatting with Carrie, and watching the game. Later Carrie left us as she was very tired. Later still a few of us went to get some snacks (Jennifer, Phil, Paul & I); Phil was acting all kinds of weird...I think something was wrong with him, which was all but confirmed when he & Jennifer left later, without saying goodbye, or taking Zach with them, when they had brought him to the party!?! Weird. I hope they're ok. We later played Euchre; two tables of Euchre players: Mollie with Wendy (her first time), Erica & I, Mark & Paul, Zach & Rob (I don't think that's his name damn it! lol). We were all having a great time, but the volume of our laughter, but everyone had to leave soon after.

Erica & Wendy are both Doctor Who fans, so they said we should all get together and watch Dr. Who, which made Mollie want to join in, so that's cool. For awhile, almost everyone was in my room, trying to teach Wendy how to play Euchre, and checking out my GLBT inclusive movie shelf. Wendy kept trying to find movies on the shelf that did NOT have any GLBT content, which amused me at first, but then got oddly crazy. Paul & Zach kept asking questions about the movies, and Paul said he was going to try to think of movies that I don't have on there. There are TONS that I don't have, but I haven't been buying them lately, as I'm kind of on the broke side.

I didn't remember Paul when he was here, and then later it just hit me; all the times I saw him at Mollie's work when I would go visit her. Apparently he worked there 4 years ago, but now he lives in New York. He was just here for a visit; apparently he's good friends with Jennifer. He said he was 30, and then changed that to 31, but Mollie later mentioned in passing that he was 33! lol And for the record...he's hot, but really nice too. Everyone was nice last night, which was fantastic. And it was great to see Mollie & Carrie, and Jennifer, and Phil, and then mix in these people that are close to Mollie, and have it all be fun. It was good.

I drove Mollie home after the party, with extra alcohol from the party, and a late birthday presents from Carrie, Mark & myself. We had a nice chat in the car, and after I dropped her off I went to Necto. I saw several people that I hadn't seen lately, which was nice, and I had some fun dancing, though the majority of the music sucked ass, and not in a fun way. When I got home I was exhausted, but hungry, so I did the stupid thing...and ate. I took a nap, but was careful not to sleep too long and upset my stomach. I got up and read; worked on my webpage a bit more, and answered some e-mail.

I called Kim around 8am, and asked if she could bring the movies she borrowed from me in August to work with her so I could finally have them back on my shelf. Then I finally slept. I got up around noon, showered, dressed, and drove up to the salon where I got a nice hug from Kim, my movies, and a wave from the busy Jeremy before heading home. I finished a Trek book I was reading (more on that in a minute) and started watching Star Trek Voyager.

So I've been reading these Trek stories that set up Voyager, and the thing is...they all contradict each other, which is ironic, as they set up a show that contradicted itself all the time. I just expected them to be more cohesive. There were lots of random errors in them, along with continuity screw ups relating to the show, or previously published fiction. I enjoyed the stories for what they were, but I wish someone would write a book that explained all the contradictions away.

I slept some more. I've gotten more sleep today than I expected, but it's always in short, concentrated bursts. My eyes are kind of tired; probably from staring at my computer too much. Maybe I should find something else to do.
