basildestinyOn the X-Files, the character Fox Mulder was kind of your all American guy with a extra huge dosage of paranoia. As the series unfolded the mythlogy, we learn that his paranoia has all been one big conspiracy by the American government. Of course, Fox works for one of the American governments law enforcement agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Oh the kids who dreamed of becoming an FBI field agent after that series began. But I always wanted kids and didn't want them to have to worry about their mom. And later on, field agents must have 20/20 vision.
Thinking back on the show, I wonder how Fox Mulder had such great taste in clothing. Do you think his mother bought his clothes? She would have had practice what with his father. I mean this guy would be watching pornography half the time Scully would walk into the office. Maybe it was some inside joke where he pretended to be a big porno watcher, but you have to wonder about someone who hooks up with that kind of guy. ;)
And what's with William Mulder and William Scully? Their dads had the same name? What's with Fox? I mean I know that it was touched upon, but it still strikes me as weird. Ah well.
Moving on from X-Files, I had a great birthday. I took the day off from work so that made it great. Unfortunately I didn't spend it with my mom, but this weekend I will. We went out to Wasabi's with the in-laws. My mother-in-law baked me an awesome chocolate, chocolate chip, chocolate fudge icing cake! I loved it. It's still in the fridge to slowly be consumed. The chef we had wasn't that great, but he was personable. I liked him for it. The chef at the next table over was really good, but he didn't really connect with the people.
I had been joking around about watching March of the Penguins. Matt hasn't wanted to see it since it was in theatres. There was even a time that it was $1 to go see and he still didn't want to see it. So I was joking that I wanted to see it for my birthday. Well he was a good sport and we watched. It was some awesome photography in some parts, but I don't understand why it was made into a movie. It wasn't even anything new to be seen. It was things we already knew about penguins. There were a few scenes that I thought could be memorable, but they didn't get hardly any screen time. This would have been much better served as a 3 hour special on Discovery. Blue Planet comes to mind. But for some reason, the French decided to make it into a movie. And Morgan Freeman was recruited. I'm glad we didn't buy it. And as for the whole suggestion that it's a great kids movie? Whatever. I've already seen a great kids movie about penguins. It pretty accurately covered the things March of the Penquins covered and a whole lot more. It's also cute and entertaining. Scamper the Penquin. Good kids movie.
Oh! What did I get for my birthday from my husband? I got Season one of Seaquest DSV!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!
Race car, lasers, airplanes

Fox was a sicko! lol I wonder if he didn't just do it to make Scully think he was weird. He was never doing anything other than like drooling or nearly so and he'd always sit up a little surprised that she caught him. Oh and he'd have the sound going. lol

Date: 2006-03-31 07:47 pm (UTC)Some of the cooler things which might not have been known were downplayed. Didn't even mention that the leopard seal is NINE feet in length! Those things are scary. Cute, but mean! I was really let down. A lot of people had built it up for me and it just didn't deliver. It was still cute and all, but not the awesomeness I was expecting.
