I feel about to EXPLODE with an excess of emotion. I kind of love feeling like this, whatever the reason. Usually it's a confluence of relatively silly things, but hey. This is fandom. You guys GET it.

Things wot are making me flail:
  • X-FILES MOVIE OMG!!!!! (Yes still) The premiere is in the process of playing (on the east coast) RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Eeeeee. I watched two episodes with Rob tonight, Syzygy and Pusher. One hilarious, the other tense and wonderful. Scully's bitchface is a glory to behold ("Sure, fine, whatever") and oh, her skepticism of the one and only WHAMMY ("Would you please explain to me the scientific nature of the whammy."). OH SCULLY YOU ARE MY FAVORITE. IMDB informs me that the X-Files creators had someone else in mind for Scully at first.... wait for it.... PAMELA ANDERSON. I almost died of laughter, not gonna lie. DEAR CHRIS CARTER FOX NETWORK, UR DOIN IT RONG. Did you know Gillian was only 24 when she started?! Holy crap.
  • WARPED IN TWO DAYS! Cobraaaas! LOEEEEY! Lots of funtiems! Luckily a storm broke the heat here yesterday, so it's going to be low 80s and partly cloudy. YAY!
  • [livejournal.com profile] arsenicjade's A Light to Burn All the Empires. Mikey/Frank. It's one of those stories that you feel in your whole body. I haven't finished it yet, but I keep physically flailing, and I've been repeatedly on the brink of tears, and she writes the Gerard-Mikey dynamic like no one else, and OH. <3333
  • MCR MIGHT DO A BOB DYLAN COVER FOR THE WATCHMEN SOUNDTRACK!!!! I think Gerard came in his pants. Seriously. This piece of news about our hiatusing boys is giving me a completely inordinate amount of joy. NEW MUSICS. FROM OUR LOVERS. Ughhhh ♥___♥
  • Not so much joyous as just... I dunno, satisfying? Tomorrow is the chemistry department's summer poster session. Last year, I was FREAKED the fuck OUT. I kept flailing about how I wouldn't be good enough and they would grill me and it would be horrible!! ....then it was super duper low key and I shouldn't have worried at all. So I'm not! I've got a beautiful poster, and I understand my work, and everything is grand. Lalala!


I need to go to bed. MULDER AND SCULLY SO SOON OMG.

I'd just like to say one thing:

I LOVE THE X-FILES!

Phew! It's been a long time since I said that! Way back in the day, when i was but a wee thing in high school, I started catching this show called X-Files in reruns on TV. Sadly, it only aired while I was at work that summer, so I used this ancient device called a VCR to schedule recordings of two episodes a day. Then I would come home and watch them. My experience was all jumbled, since two networks were airing reruns from completely different seasons. But I loved it. Oh how I loved it. Somehow, I stumbled onto fic, and I was a GONER. I inhaled vast swathes of the Gossamer archive, and from there stumbled into eljay, and so I think we all have Mulder and Scully to thank for my shining presence in these here parts of the interwebs \o/

One X-Files fanfic that amazingly still sticks out in my memory is this epic series called After the Future (that's a link). It was started in 1999, and at the time I was reading it, about 2004, it was still IN PROGRESS. I just dug up that link today, and it appears that it was finished about a year ago, but the author is still posting little codas and missing scenes every now and then. Holy crap. That's amazing. And the thing is, it was GOOD. The premise (vaguely, since it's been four years since I read it) was that the alien colonization occurred, and Mulder and Scully and most of the named characters in the show escaped and set up a settlement, one of many scattered across the nation, and tried to do battle against the Forces of Evil. To a large extent it was domesticity fic, as Mulder and Scully, you know, realized they were in love and started having wee kidlets, three of them, one of whom was named after Alex Krycek which gives me SUCH GLEE, OKAY. (He plays a strong role and while all conflicted and kind of assholey, mostly comes around and is Made Of Awesome.) Skinner marries Scully's mom, and the Lone Gunmen are around, and it is just fabulous and awesome and I kind of really want to read it again.

ANYway, what prompted this post is that I got the yen tonight for some X-Files, and as I have only the third season DVDs, I sort of picked an episode at random. It was called Oubliette, and it turned out that not only had I not seen it, IT HAD JEWEL STAITE IN IT! Wee, 14 or 15 year old Jewel Staite! Getting all kidnapped and scared, awwww! It was totally random, I swear, and made me squeak and flap my hands! She was so precious. And then the episode itself was just made of fucking win, as is all of season three, and OH MULDER AND SCULLY. FIRST LOVES OF MY HEART.

NEW MOVIE IN TWO DAYS OMGGGGGGG!!!!

I am so excited :D

Can we talk about how fucking adorable those Darlings at the Disco are? Because seriously. Zack Hall, please be my minder. ILU. And your infinite patience. Can we also talk about how watching Spencer Smith flail about on the floor trying to pretend he was swimming was the hottest thing ever, UNTIL five seconds later, when Brendon Urie did a standing backflip to Elton John? YEAH I DONT KNOW EITHER. <333333333 However, the Ladder vs. Windshield one is my FAVORITE, because, well, 1) ZACK. ILU. Solving the mystery! "We can tell CSI NOT to come. Unless they want to." 2) Zack hugging all of Hush Sound hello, UGH MY HEART! Darren is so miniscule next to him! And Greta is just engulfed! Daaaaarlings! 3) BRENDON URIE hugging all of the Hushies hello!!! The way he ruffles Chris's hair is THE MOST PRECIOUSEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN, OKAY. <3333333333333333 Heeeeee! And 4) GRETA. "We've just been shot at!" and Brendon, "FOR REAL??" Ahahahaha. Lovelovelovelove. The shenanigans those children must be getting up to on this tour! Moar backstage footage plz!

My sister got to go to the HCT show last night in Connecticut with my dad. She had SUCH a great time. It sounds like it was an awesome show. And my dad really enjoyed it! He said they're fantastic performers with a great sound, and he loves the three of our boys harmonizing, and yay. They were in the pit (i could have sworn there were no seating tickets on sale when I got the presale tickets! Is that because GA is considered better? I'm sure my dad would have appreciated sitting down >.<) and had a great view. I wish I could have been there with them! Ah well, it will happen at some point, me and my sis will totally become concert buddies (love you, Mere! <3) when Panic returns to the states and MCR stops rolling in their wedded bliss :P

Next let's talk about how EXCITED I am for the new X-Files movie. LKSDFLSDKJF. It's going to be amaaaaaazing, you guys. Mulder and Scully are 100% the original OTP of my heart, and I cannot express the glee it gives me to have new canon coming. YAY YAY YAY. The viral promo thingies are FANTASTIC (see them over at [livejournal.com profile] xfiles) but I can't seem to get the trailer to work for me! WANTS *grabbyhands*

I called my mommy to wish her Happy Mother's Day tonight. She was most pleased by the edible flower arrangement (read: shaped fruit, some of it chocolate covered, nom nom nom) that I sent over, so yay. We had a nice long chat, it's nice to have grown out of the at-war-with-mom teenage phase! (Unlike my rooommate, who cannot talk to her mom for 5 seconds without getting in a fight >.<) At the end she handed the phone to my brother and I ended up talking to him for half an hour. I forget how fond I am of him sometimes! He's 17 and clearly can be quite the pain in the ass, but as I've taken the stick out of my ass, and he's matured a bit, we're much more able to have real conversations. He's so funny and smart, when he's not an asshole we get along great. My mom told me the story about how he completely out of the blue won the position of vice president in his high school's student council, haha! He tied for second in the first round of voting, then they had to write speeches, and his speech was so awesome that he won! I'm not super surprised, because he's extremely eloquent, charismatic, and a great writer, but still, how cool. Now... he just has to pass junior year. Which is actually quite up in the air :-/ His teachers RAVE about how brilliant he is, how he leads class discussions and has the brightest mind, but... he doesn't do his work. Oh Pete. He's so frustrating, but such a great kid. I'm sure he'll come out on top eventually.

This is still on time in the states, so HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY to all the lovely moms on my flist! Off the top of my head, [livejournal.com profile] keepaofthecheez, [livejournal.com profile] deirdre_c, [livejournal.com profile] adellyna, and I'm probably forgetting someone or not aware, but um. Yes! You are all lovely ladies and I admire you so much for what you do! I hope you all had fantastic days :)

That's all for now. The hardcore week of studying has begun, so while I'm probably getting my laptop back in the next couple days, I'm still going to be relatively MIA. Love you all! <3

1. NEW X-FILES MOOOOVIE! BWEEEEE! The footage from Wondercon is fantastic - David and Gillian look radiant! (Scroll back through [livejournal.com profile] xfiles to see everything) I didn't manage to see the trailer when it was leaked, but I hope something will surface soon. I also saw spoilery shots from the set and all I can say is - EEEEE! :D

2. FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS GOT PICKED UP FOR S3!!!!!! This is the best TV news possible - I was utterly convinced that 2x15 was the last episode ever, and while that wouldn't have been the WORST place to stop... I want moooore! And I'm gonna get iiiit! :D:D:D YAY MORE TAYLORS! And Timmy and Matt and Tyra and Landry and Smash and Street and EVERYONE! YAYE!

3. Torchwood was fun this week, but I kind of had issues with it. I wish I didn't hate the Powers That Be's favorite character (that is, Gwen) D: MOAR IANTO PLZ.

4. I just watched Stardust and... HAHAHAHA. So. Much. Crack! Though I must say, it improved in quality immensely when the main character stopped being a douchebag and got a makeover by a gay pirate that included sexy long hair, swashbuckling skills, and floofy sleeves. THUMBS UP! Claire Danes was darling once she stopped being a cranky biatch. And Michelle Pfeiffer was awesome. Robert De Niro... I have no words. WIN. One curiosity - IMDB tells me that David Walliams played one of the dead brothers, but I didn't recognize him at ALL. Which one was he??

5. Ummmm right, I have a real life that is not TV or movies! So tomorrow is the last day of term, which is actually depressing because this term has been fucking AMAZING. I love most of my classes, my schedule actually was really nice, I didn't have LAB so I had zero work to do except attending lectures and maybe studying occasionally, I was able to go out once or twice a week with my awesome friends, and it was just a really charmed period. Now I have March break, which is going to be INSANE but AMAZING (Bestie in a week! Daddy and sis after that! [livejournal.com profile] nebulein and Germany after that! Five birthday parties in the midst of all that! St Patrick's Day in Dublin! OMG!) but then I start... the last term. Which is short, and will be fraught with lab reports and frantic studying for the epic and terrifying end of year exams, which I am predicting means much less revelry and hanging out with my beautiful friends, and much more stress D: Oh dear. I don't wanna! And I don't wanna leave my city! Siiiigh. But! I have three weeks before that sets in, so I am going to enjoy it!

Toodles!

Tonight I bring you your random dose of HILARITY. The link was brought to my attention by [livejournal.com profile] killerweasel.

IT'S A BATHING SUIT MADE FOR SEXIN THE BUTT (Quote TM [livejournal.com profile] unamaga)

I don't know if any work is being accomplished here, guys

AHAHAHAHA

WHO WEARS THESE THINGS?!???

In other news, X-Files sequel looking like it might actually happen! I know this has been said about 80 trillion times in the past four years, but THEY REALLY MEAN IT THIS TIME, GUYS.

Combining the above, I give you Mulder in a speedo and Krycek trying SO HARD not to check him out )

Seriously, X-Files was the first thing I was fannish about, and the prospect of another movie makes me SO GIDDY :D
exsequar: (Default)
What an awesome day!

Things acquired, whether by shopping or in the mail:

  • Flaunt magazine, featuring one Jensen Ackles as this month's Flaunt Boy
  • New purse
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail T-shirt (score!)
  • X-Files Season 3 (YES!!)
  • Birthday card for a friend
  • Entertainment Weekly magazine
  • A whirly gadget thingamabob sent as a fun present by my friend Rob

    Now is that an awesome day or what? What truly made it awesome though was that I got to spend lots of time with Meg. We had a girl's day! \o/ We went to a nearby town called Williamston with my aunt Anne to visit a great fabric store there (they had so many fabrics, and so many really fascinating ones! That was fun) and also a cute little book store (looking for Flaunt magazine, though that was a failed attempt). I sat and read the first 60 pages of Christopher Moore's new novel, which is awesome and deeply reminiscent of Good Omens, which is a good thing :) Then we came home and had lunch, and then Meg and I headed out again. First stop was Target, where she needed to exchange her watch, and we wandered into the clothes section (um, oops? :)). I tried on some really cute summer dresses but they just didnt fit right, alas. However, in the mens section right by the fitting room, I found a Monty Python tshirt, for 10 bucks, and the last one was a medium, so I snagged it! That's one of my favorite movies ever (see Top 5 meme! hee) and I just had to have that tshirt :D I also picked up the cute purse there, and the bday card. Then we headed over to Schuler books and there was Flaunt! \o/ The pictures of Jensen are the GORGEOUS Michael Muller ones, and they're huge and glossy and already up on my wall and I LOVE THEM. And then I come down to my laptop and sitting next to it are a package (X-Files YAY), Entertainment Weekly, and a letter from Rob!

    So how was your day, darling flist? :D

    I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

    The lovely [livejournal.com profile] indilime pointed out a big sale they're having over at deepdiscountdvd.com (20% off everything - just enter SUPERSALE in the coupon code!) and and and they have X-Files for TWENTY TWO DOLLARS. I am so ALL OVER THAT. But the best part???

    Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

    YES THEY HAVE A HUGE notverylarge SPN POSTER. HUGE BEAUTIFUL BOYS. JUST FOR ME. I didn't think they had released a poster, but I being the wishful thinker that I am typed "Supernatural poster" in the search box and that popped up and I nearly DIED of happy. YAY. Do you hear me? YAY. LESS THAN THIRTEEN DOLLARS.

    Here's the link to the poster if you want to buy one too! http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=MGP315805

    Oh, hm, I just noticed in my cart that the poster isn't in stock. I wonder if that means it hasn't been released yet, or they ran out? Either way, I'm totally ordering it. \o/! ETA: Indy also pointed out that I am stupid and didn't notice that it's actually a pretty small one. But still! Big enough for me!

    Huh, it's funny how life works out sometimes. You know how I said I bought X-Files season three a few days ago? Someone linked to Amazon where they now have a lot of sci-fi shows on sale for HALF OFF. So I was pissed because I spent more than I had to, and went to see if I could cancel the order. And it wasn't there! So I did some checking and apparently I never made the order! I must have got to the final page and never hit confirm! SO weird.

    So now I need to decide - Angel season 2 (LINDSEY) or X-Files? *ponders deeply* This is an important decision, my friends!

    Anyway, the sale is here: Buffy and Angel and X-Files and Dark Angel and Roswell and Firefly and more! Go!

    (I think I'm going for Angel - I just can't resist the Kane, you know?)
    exsequar: (XF Mulder is it porn?)
    EEEEEE! *FLAPPYHANDS* X-FILES TWO IS PROBABLY A GO!

    I just got my new Entertainment Weekly and there's a sidebar about a new X-Files movie that's almost definitely going to happen! YAAAAY!

    Here's a transcript:

    The Truth Is in Here

    X-Files fans may never get closure from the show - but they'll at least get some answers in a second movie. EW has learned that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are both on board. Plus, "we've worked out most of the plot," says X-Files exec producer Frank Spotnitz, who checked in to promote the DVD of his canceled series, Night Stalker. ("People never got to see one of the best episodes we did!") The sequel will be light on mythology - "It's very liberating to be freed from that," he says - and picks up four years after the 2002 TV finale that left Mulder and Scully on the run from the FBI. The only hurdle before filming can start: X-Files creator Chris Carter and 20th Century Fox have to settle their suit over syndication profits.


    OMGYAY. This sounds SO perfect!! I had no idea how they were going to do a second movie, but skipping ahead four years sounds excellent! Maybe Mulder and Scully will be in an established relationship, which is what the sappy romantic in me wants - you know? Just like the casual affection and everything and awwww. But best of all, they're breaking away from the mythology that killed the show in the first place! I am SO excited guys. *dances*
