First off...my headache is gone, which is fantastic! And my day has gone extremely well. Apparently we've had nice weather today, but I'm not one to go outside much. Especially because the sun is out. I mean, it can be cold and beautiful, and sunny and beautiful, and I'm just a bit jaded about both I suppose. I'd much rather stay in. And I guess that makes me a bit of a freak, and I'm ok with that. I'm a big, bald, geeky, freak! Yeah! :-0)

Even in my dreams I'm a geek. Only in my dreams...everyone else is too. I have this recurring dream element about there being this long buried, extended cut of "Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope", which is then released and mobs of people go to see it, and it's actually quite dull, yet everyone in the world loves it. In the dream I just had I was watching this new Star Wars cut with my relatives in this huge theater, and Janice kept talking, and getting shushed, and then someone else would talk, or kids would start making some racket, and my grandparents were there, and my grandmother actually threatened these kids with violence, and then they snuggled up to her, which made me laugh and then before I knew it everyone was leaving because they all hated one another, but they all seemed really happy about it. As we were leaving I noticed my jacket & hat were gone, but Janice had grabbed them on the way out. Someone in our group, who apparently worked for the stuido said the test screening was a huge success, and someone that worked at the theater agreed because even though no one made it through the entire film, it had sold out, and people bought a huge amounts of snacks and things they didn't finish either. lol.

I also have recurring dreams about Star Trek crossover episodes between Voyager & Next Generation & DS9 that never happened. And when I'm watching them in my dreams, they're my favorite episodes of all time, and Voyager is actually amazing. You'd think that would be enough for my dream self to realize it's all a dream, but I think my dream self is just in denial about the whole crap fest that Voyager became, and so it kind of 'lives' for those moments when I'm not around to tell him that Voyager is a bunch of good moments, and a few great episodes between huge pieces of shit.

I also have recurring dreams in which people want to watch Alien V, and it's the scariest movie I've ever seen. There is no Alien V, and if there was, I'd be the first in line to see it. And none of the films have scared me at all....but in my dream, it really freaks me out. But it's amazing.

Yeah. I'm a huge geek.

So I woke Mark up this morning after I'd downloaded the new Battlestar Galactica and we watched it in my room, which was nice. I had tried to not get my hopes up about the episode, because while Battlestar Galactica is amazing, I've found that the beginning of season's 2 & 3, which have to deal with what they've done in the amazing cliffhangers of the show, aren't very satisfying for me, and I didn't want to feel disappointed with this one. Well, I wasn't. And I think part of that is that last season's finale was a bit different, and also everyone working on the show now knows that this season is the last; there are only 19 more episodes to go, 9 of which we'll see in the next few weeks... The new episode was fantastic, and ended on a cliffhanger. Waiting each week to see these episodes is gonna suck.

After Battlestar, Mark & I chatted more and we were laughing a lot. It was a good morning. I showed him this radio program I got a copy of called "Chain Reaction". It's British, and on the show one celebrity interviews another celebrity that they've always admired or looked up to, or just wanted to meet I suppose, and then in the next episode the person that was interviewed goes on and interviews someone they admire in turn, so that's why it's called Chain Reaction. This episode features Catherine Tate interviewing David Tennant, and it's a riot. Mark laughed out loud during several bits, and I'm sending a copy of this to Mollie with the full season of Torchwood and today's episode of Doctor Who.

After talking some more, and laughing some more, we cuddled, which we don't do as much as people might think, but that was nice too. And this wasn't a sexual thing. Though I did point out to Mark that if Michael and I were cuddling in the position that Mark & I were in, Michael would be fucking me. lol. But it was all good, and eventually Mark left and I fell asleep again, and I woke up around 6:30pm.

The internet was down when I woke up, but Mark set it up for me really quick. And I started downloading the new Who (which just finished - and I'll be watching in a few minutes). Mark has this new game on his amazing little phone, which Mark has been obsessed with for about 48 hours I think. He doesn't even have his main computer on, which is something of a miracle, if you really know Mark. He's just playing with his phone all the time now. It's kind of like that Next Generation episode "The Game", where everyone starts playing this weird video game, but it's really a subtle form of mind control, and the people who gave the game to the crew are using it to take over the ship. (I'm a geek when I'm awake too, in case you haven't noticed previously).

So...I've figured out, and I'm qute sure, exactly how the first 18 episodes of Season 30 of the Whoniverse play out, or how I'd watch them anyways. Beyond those, there is no way for me to know what the order is, except I know what the last 3 episodes are...sort of. I know what episodes 35-37 are; there will either be 38 or 39 episodes this season. Now I just have to watch the rest of the episodes and figure out how epsiodes 19-34 go, and if there are 38 or 39 episodes this year, but I won't find out the latter until around November. Fun.

Anyways, I'm gonna take my prilosec, and watch the new Doctor Who. :-0) Yay! Today rocks! :-0)
