So Mitchell and I seem to be drifting apart. We remain on very good terms, but he has been spending less and less time here and more time with another gentleman named Adam, so that doesn't exactly cement our relationship, ya' know? It's complicated, because part of the reason he has been increasingly distant is that money is so insanely tight for ( Read more... )

I know it's somewhat late (damn, I'm getting old), but I just watched a film entitled, "The Adjustment Bureau" starring Matt Damon and that girl who played the other secretary in Devil Wears Prada. It's curious that I should watch it tonight, given my earlier post on the various and manifold forces surveilling (and presumably, adjusting) our world ( Read more... )

As it happens, the actor (Shawn Ashmore) who played Bobby Drake (a.k.a., "Iceman") in the X-Men films has a twin brother (Aaron Ashmore) who is also in films. Though ostensibly identical, I happen to think Aaron is cuter, albeit only just barely. And admittedly, that is based entirely on his appearance in Warehouse 13, which comes a few years after ( Read more... )

So Mitchell brought himself and my car back safe-and-sound last night. We had a bit of a spat about his disappearing on me, but things are patched up now. Couldn't get to sleep last night until damn near dawn, so only got up a bit ago. Going to run a few errands, but still don't have much energy. At the least, I have gotten most of the paperwork ( Read more... )

Still no progress on the missing boyfriend and car, so I will have to call the police shortly if new information doesn't materialize imminently. But that's a topic for a previous (and possibly, subsequent, post ( Read more... )

So Mitchell took my car about 24 hours ago and disappeared. All attempts to raise him on his phone have proven fruitless. I checked online, and he's not in jail, and my car isn't impounded anywhere, but needless to say, I'm pretty pissed. I'd mentioned before that he and I had a rocky start to this relationship, and that rocky start all revolved ( Read more... )

I've mentioned before that I have extremely elaborate and vivid (and sometimes disturbing) dreams, but last night I had the most brilliant, insane, complex, terrifying, and exhausting dream I've ever had... by miles. It is difficult to relate the substance of it in any concise way. I and my friend, Justin were at first exploring a conventional home ( Read more... )

Alright, so Mitchell and I went to Guys, Games, & Grub yesterday at The LGBT Center, and it was fun... a bit surreal, in actuality, as there were quite a few people there getting free food, free beer/wine, and playing a bewildering variety of board games at tables. They raffled off some nice things too. Mitchell and I were the youngest and best- ( Read more... )

I've been offline for a week or so owing to an update from McAfee that decided to let my laptop get onto my home network, but decided the entirety of the Internet was too high risk to let through. Stupid McAfee. Naturally, McAfee suggested I download the patch from the Internet. Um... *hello*!?! I had to back up all my content and restore my system ( Read more... )

I have been trying unsuccessfully for a number of years now to make it to LeStat's Coffee House on Adam's Ave. to hear Allison Lonsdale and Eben Brooks perform their folk music themed around role-playing, scifi, comic, and other geeky/smart/fandom type topics. Well, I finally made it to a show... Yay me! And whereas I was knew Allison was clever ( Read more... )
