It's such a beautiful day, Internets. Seriously. I know I live in Edmonton, and Edmonton + winter ≠ beautiful day, but I'm serious. According to the google desktop, it's 1 degree. PLUS one degree. Take that! The walk to work was lovely, and long enough to listen to "In Our Bedroom After the War" 3 times.
I went to West Edmonton Mall last night, and although the Mall put up a good fight, I emerged the victor. I didn't even go Christmas shopping, I just needed some new clothes and toothpaste and sewing thread and weird things like that. By the time I hiked out the door and across a grassy knoll to the bus stop, though, I felt like I had been hit by a truck. A mall-truck.
They're filming a movie in my neighbourhood, and there are catering trucks parked on my street. I'm thinking later I might try to bluff my way into some free food. YESSSSS. The benefit of living near historical buildings.
Finally, I started watching Season 9 of X-Files last night. This represents another great victory for me, as it means I am almost done my mammoth entertainment undertaking that was begun so many months ago. (I don't remember how many.) Around 150 hours of TV! So far, I like season 9 a lot. The season premiere had Cary Elwes--be still my 7th-grade heart! And Lucy Lawless, who was a villain of some kind, of course. (Don't people know not to trust her? She's a cylon!) In honour of her appearance, I made a new mix CD for my sister entitled "Christmas for Cylons."
Look! It's Mulder!

Ghah, it's Amanda Peet! Although, she does look very FBI-y, so I guess that's good. And I do like me some Billy Connolly.
ReplyDeleteI don't even like Mulder anymore. Skinner is totally my FBI boyfriend.
PS. In season 9, Skinner is FINALLY in the credits. About freakin' time.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have in fact seen season 9... had you not? Tell me your X Files story, Jocelyn.
ReplyDeleteWow, really? Shucks, OK...
ReplyDeleteI started watching x-files around season 4. I mean, keep in mind I was 13 at the time so it's not surprising I didn't become interested in it earlier. I was a totally devoted watcher of the show until about season, I don't know, 6 or 7. I didn't watch it every week, and so there would always be these huge plot issues I didn't understand, and I just gave up on it.
So actually, this epic watchening is the first time I've seen the majority of the episodes. And I appreciate them more now, which is not really surprising.
