I didn't go to Necto Monday night. I hadn't had much to eat or sleep, so I did what was best for my stomach and slept. I exhanged some random texts with Michael, who didn't seem pleased that I wasn't typing any responses besdies a question mark, but I hate typing out texts on my phone; it takes me a long time, and I was trying to get to sleep. It was also one of those 'conversations' where someone says they know something, to elicit a repsonse, and you give it, and then they do so again, without coming to the point, when they could have just told you what they know. People do this all the time, and sometimes it's fun, but in text mode it just sucks beyond the telling of it. I still have no clue what it is he wanted to tell me because he didn't. Oh well. I sent him a yahoo message when I woke up, trying to explain, but he was asleep. Turnabout is fair play. ;-0)

I noticed a spider in the kitchen early Monday morning (arond 3am), and I considered killing it. I don't like bugs or spiders in my house. I don't hate them or anything, but they're just not fun to have around me. But then I figured that the spider wasn't hurting me, and in fact was most likely going to eat a bunch of annoying bugs, so I figured I'd let it live. It was moving around in an odd pattern, and I wondered if it was setting up a web or something... Around 7am I went back to the kitchen and the spider was dead. It had crawled up there to die. And I couldn't help thinking that the way that it had been moving, was it's agonizing death throes...and that I should if I'd killed it before, it would have been a mercy killing. I seriously felt guilty for not killing a spider.

I sought out, printed, cut, reworked, and put up a slew of new pictures in my room; the inside of my bedroom door is nearly finished. But it took a lot of time. I got about 20 minutes of sleep before I had to get ready for work. I was late by 18 minutes. I worked more than an hour over though, and I kicked ass in sales again. I also had a good time while I was there, working with Bryan, Bill, Michael, Laura & Amanda; John stopped by too.

After Mark picked me up from work, we went to Staples where I used this coupon to save $10.00 on over $20.00 of poster tape. As we were leaving Mark noticed that one of our tires was low. I always think our tires look low, but compared our previous car, they do. Mark stopped for air on the way home, but couldn't find his pressure guage, and we continued home. I went to be bed, and Mark left to go fix Karen's computer, which we've been trying to find the time for (for ages now).

I woke up around 10:30pm, and could have gone right back to sleep, except Mark wasn't home yet and I thought that was odd, so I called him. He was waiting for a tow truck to come get him, as he'd had a flat. He had stopped for air on the way to Karen's but the station was closed and the air unavailable. He worked on Karen's computer for 3 hours or so, and he thinks he's probably got it fixed, but isn't quite sure; he said it was working when he left though.

I gave Mollie a call while I waited for him to get home; I left her a voicmail. Her phone is apparently on now, so hopefully we can talk sometime soon. I wanted to stay up and wait for Mark, as I felt a little worried about him making it home now. I picked up the new DS9 book and read the prologue, which... this book looks like it's packed with continuity, and all of it centered on the Cardassians and the Bajorans (my 2 favorite Trek alien cultures) - and I'm just really excited to read these. The prologue alone had a bunch of revelations about thing's introduced in the Garak book from years ago, which I loved. And when I quickly looked at the first page of chapter 1, I saw the name Kotan Pa'Dar. Wow. He's a Cardassian from the DS9 episode "Cardassians" and it makes perfect sense that he would be a character here. I looked at the back of the book; not to read the end because I don't do that, but to see how many pages it was, and if they're might be an excerpt of the next volume. What I found made me even more excited. There are Appendixes of Bajoran & Cardassian characters, food, ranks, and all sorts of other things, and it tells you what all those things are, and where they were first mentioned, be that in a book or an episode! Continuity Porn. Fan Wank. I love it. :-0) If the books prove to be as good as I'm hoping, I'll have to send copies to Mollie. She really enjoys DS9, and she LOVES the Cardassians. Garak isn't in this first volume, but Dukat is; he's even on the fricking cover!

Anyways...after Mark got home, I filled him in on all the Trek excitement, and then we watched some 'Invader Zim', which he'd never seen. It was fun. We watched the first 4 episodes. Then Mark went to bed, and went back and finished the Klingon book I was reading, which is part 1 of 2, and it ended extremely well. I was very happy with it. I'm gonna continue on with the new DS9 one, and maybe read the other Kligon one after that. We'll see.

I have more pictures to put up. I have more books to read. I have no boyfriend to fuck. And I'm extemely horny. Hmmm. Well, maybe I'll get more reading done. lol

I'm aching for the Torchwood finale, and trying so hard to stay away from spoilers, but 9 & 1/2 days to go seems like too much!!! And I want to know what Michael was talking about last night; he said he'd noticed something about Torchwood that he thinks I might not have...and he made it sound really cool. I'm hoping that it is something really cool that I haven't noticed, and not something that I've pointed out to him in the past, which would be disappointing. The same way I tell Mark stuff and then he tells me it later like it's new, only worse, cause I'm excited to know this. lol. If it's that Tosh was Who or something like that...erg. Oh well. I'll know when I know.

I should get something to eat.

Oh. And I've had multiple songs from EVITA stuck in my head for like 4 days now.
