I watched the last 3 quarters of "Friends - Season 9", Sunday Night; it helped a little, though it hurt to laugh. My cold is still bad; it's a sneezing, coughing, buckets of mucus kind of cold; which I haven't had in at least 5 years. With all that stuff going on, my stomack is constantly unhappy, which makes me resistant to ingesting food...or resistant to attempts to ingest food. The whole thing is just disgusting and un-fun. Blah.

So I've been catching up on the movies I've bought, but not watched; dvds from my Queer Inclusive shelf. I watched the DVD edition of "The Celluloid Closet" yesterday. I used to own the video, but the dvd is better. For one thing, I wore the video out, and I tend to not watch videos anymore, if I can help it. But the big difference is that there are tons of intricate extras, which make it seem almost like a sequel to the video release, even though most of it is just stuff that didn't make it onto the original video, and isn't new, per say. After I slept for a couple hours I watched "All The Rage" which I enjoyed parts of, but for the most part it was kind of dull.

I watched "Proteus" this morning. It's directed by John Greyson, who directed "Lilies" which is one of my favorite movies. I enjoyed this one as well, though the creative touches that I loved so much in Lilies, were less effective in this story, I think. It's still worth watching though, and I'm glad that I own it.

I slept for 4 hours; that's a long time with this (Pauses for SNEEZING - damn my watery eyes!) cold. I checked my messages, and there was one from Mollie, so I gave her a call & chatted with her for a bit, before I started sneezing again, and had to let her go.

I started reading Christopher Rice's latest novel yesterday: "Light Before Day". So far I like it a lot more than "The Snow Garden"; his 2nd novel. His first effort, "A Density of Souls" has been my favorite thus far. I saw Christopher Rice in person once, in 1995, at a book signing in Chicago for his mother's book: "Memnoch, The Devil". I recognized him from pictures in Anne's biography, though he'd been much younger in those photographs. He must have been about 16 or so then; I was 20, and I thought he was cute, though he seemed a little sad. I almost approached him, to ask him if he was alright, but I figured that people probably latch onto him all the time because of his mom, and I didn't want him to think that's what I was doing. Besides the fact that it was hard to approach someone who might notice that I had a hardon; lol. And before I could change my mind he went outside to a limo that was waiting. It's very rare that I don't act on a feeling, so I kind of regret not saying hello to him, but it might have been for the best; I might have freaked him out. lol But he's cute, and he's queer, and I'm enjoying his writing.
