I hit the motherlode of Doctor Who videos at Goodwill today! I got a little over 20 of them. I know that might sound a big crazy, but I couldn't help myself as even one is a rare find in the thrift stores. I got my favorite serial as well, Logopolis. I also got a Powerpuff Girls video, Dead Poets Society, an abacus, the Bad Cat book, and a pair of shiny purple satin pants. One of my best trips to goodwill ever!

I just got back from Thom's party. I had a great time.

Thom's place is awesome. He has a 12th floor apartment in Brigham Circle. He has a breathtaking view of Boston's skyline from his balcony. Tonight the dusty red moon peeking through some clouds just above the horizon put the crowning touch on the scene.

Everyone at the party was really nice to me. Very queer crowd, which I liked.

I met a new friend (I met several, but one in particular). Very interesting and intelligent person. He reminded me, both intellectually and physically, of an older version of Adric from Doctor Who. He was quite something to look at, but can't really go there (Lake and all) and he's gay anyway. He lives in Arlington and we're going to go have coffee together at the Diesel Café sometime.

I had a realization about my weight while sitting watching the people at the party. I made it while watching this woman who was quite beautiful, although not by mainstream standards of weight. I decided my problem is that, while I can look at myself as beautiful, my mental image of myself is skinny. All I need to do is change that mental image, not change myself. So I did. Unfortunately I haven't run this idea by Shirley yet, or thought it out sober. But, I did take it as a chance to pig out with no repercussions. We'll see how it plays itself out.

All in all a good night. I'm going to go eat my candy and decide whether I want to stay up or go to bed.
