I just ordered Doctor Who series 4. Torchwood series 2, Sarah Jane Adventures series 1 and Doctor Who, the Infinite Quest from Amazon.

What, me, addicted??? Whatever do you mean???

I also have brought in two stacks of books from home to give away to co-workers. It feels nice to declutter a bit. I have a natural tendency to be a pack rat and it drives me bonkers. I have some books that I will never part with, but the rest I am happy to pass on to people so they can enjoy them. Win-Win scenario

My spirits are still pretty good after my vacation. I still think it would be nice to have someone in my life, but I seem to have managed to release my expectations. If I spend time with a guy, it's about conversation and connection, more social than anything else.

My sleep has been a bit off, but I may just pick up some OTC sleep aid for it.

Looking forward to the weekend though. Need to get some painting supplies and new canvases and do some more work. Have a few ideas for some new pieces. Excited to get on them

...because they really mean it, but this actually made me laugh so hard I cried

From [livejournal.com profile] mile_hi_bat  (who counts as one of my favourite "m"s)

Rules:

- Post a Comment and I'll randomly assign you a letter (A - Z in the English Alphabet);
- Then you have to respond by listing ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter.
- Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

I was assigned the letter M
  1. Men.   Duh. I love everything about them: the way they walk, talk, smell. Tall ones, short ones, especially the furry ones. Special passion for redheads, Indian men and dark skinned mediterranean types. I can't look at a man on the street without wondering what he looks like naked.
  2. Movies. All kinds. I love watching them at home, going to movie theatres. Some of my best memories are of going to Saturday matinees in my home town. There's something magical about theatres, I think.
  3. Music.  I love all kinds. I have absolutely no talent for it, beyond singing in the shower, but I absorb new music like a sponge and am always on the lookout for new bands or singers to obsess over. Love British Pop, Acid Jazz, good Electronica, the soul baring singer/songwriter type. Love to make mixed CDs for people to turn them onto music they might not know about.
  4. Maupin. Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City books and the work he has published subsequently to them are deserted island books for me. I read my first one back in the early eighties when my public library had a special table of gay lit on display. It was a pivotal moment for me, being able to stand there openly checking out the books and not being afraid; to know that there were books for and by people like me. He will always be associated with that in my mind.
  5. Massages. Both the talented amateur and the professional kind. Been ages since I've had one. I used to have a masseur in Saskatoon who was staggeringly hot. Salt and pepper haired, middle aged, but so hot. The massage itself was never sexual for me, and I never got turned on while he was doing it, but it helped me relax knowing it was him.
  6. Mochaccino. My coffee drink of choice, iced or hot. It's my litmus test for any coffee joint I hang out in.
  7. Metallic paint. I love using metallic and iridescent paints in my paintings. The way they shimmer in the changing light really accentuates the textures I use. And the artificiality of them also feels right in the artificial, abstract way I paint.
  8. Masturbation. Really, what else needs to be said?
  9. Mother. I miss her a lot. I am so much her son.
  10. Metal Men. One of my favourite comics from back in the day, when Walt Simonson drew them. Also in the new series by Duncan Rouleau. Fun, goofy, retro shape changing robots, each made out of a specific metal (Gold, Platinum, Lead, Iron, Mercury, Tin and Copper) Does it get any more fun than that??
