Well, in 40 minutes a movie called Local Hero goes on. Norah’s name wasn’t listed, but I think she could be in it.

Tomorrow I’ll probably bring the VCR out back and print some pictures. Tom says he can get it over 4 inches now.

Later...

Got up at noon today. There was a message from a Tim R at the Police Department. I called and told him what a quack Fran is and described his personality and the things he’s done. Tim said he had him figured out right away (for a wacko). I gave Tim his social worker’s name and his address. He said he’d contact Fran’s local Police Department. I warned him that Fran would keep constantly calling and he said something about calling the phone company and blocking him from calling AZ. He also said he’d tell Michelle we spoke, and was really nice about it.

Norah was in Local Hero but for only 3 quick scenes. She had far from a leading role.

Now I ask myself a question? Did Tom fuck with the reception cuz he was, not upset, but worried over this shit with Fran? The cable box broke the other day, but there was a problem with the reception till 5-10 minutes into the movie. He was in his room, supposedly asleep, but the wires do run in there, so he can watch TV in his room.

I also noticed he put his shoes right on the phone cord, or almost. I had asked him a while back if he wouldn’t do that cuz it’s a pain in the ass when I go to pull the phone out. He hasn’t done this for a while, but every now and then we don’t see eye to eye on certain things, things get more “misplaced,” so to speak.

He’s also the type to make this Fran shit a bigger deal than I would, but is that it? Was he upset Andy was here, even though he didn’t seem it? Did he play with the TV? Guess I’ll have to ask him about it, but the guy’s even more sensitive than I am. I don’t want the poor man to be in tears or anything.

Otherwise, we’ve been doing fine and he’s off tomorrow and Sunday.

Later...

No, Tom did definitely not fuck with the cable. He also didn’t put his shoes on top of the phone cord.

We went swimming when he got home after he ate. Then we used our new deep fryer to do up chicken wings for me and tater tots for him. The chicken wings were great! Just like the Buffalo ones I used to order from Quickies back east.

I also tried to print out pictures, but they were either too dark or too light. Tom said it may crash and cause some problems. Yup, it crashed.

He showed me how to see how many bytes I have left on my disk. I’ve got a third of the disk left.

Kim left a message wanting to know Alex’s address. She’ll call back tomorrow night.

No calls from Fran tonight. How shocking. There were a few hang-ups today, though. He’ll get his fuck you letter in the next few days, so I’m sure I’ll hear all about it. Andy got a message from him last night, too. He was going off on him saying he was going to ruin his reputation with his local drag queens. Like Andy really cares? Yeah, right.

Think I’ll go watch TV.
