So, more winning titles from today's shipment at work:
The Big Book of Masturbation
Yep. Exactly what it sounds like! :P
MouthSounds: How To Whistle, Pop, Boing and Honk For All Occasions... And Then Some
A whole book about how to make weird noises. :D

Woooo! Another XF movie article! I wonder if we'll get any explanation of what happened between the end of the series and the start of the movie? I really hope so. And am I the only one totally distracted by the idea of DD auditioning for Full House? I can't get past picturing him trying to be Uncle Joey. XD

Fandoms as Relationships:

♥ The oldest bestest friend, an early passionate love affair that turned into a deeper and more platonic love over the years, the one you'll always love no matter how stupid or screwed-up he may occasionally act: The X-Files

♥ The one who has always satisfied you, always made you happy, to whom you can always turn, and goddamit it people, why don't you appreciate them like I do?: Disneyland

♥ The one that no one else really understands what the attraction is, but they put up with it because hey, he seems to make you genuinely happy, and who are they to tell you that you can't have a fling?: Flipper

♥ The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: Farscape

♥ The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to see again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: Star Wars

♥ The one who always manages to gather themselves for one last gasp, again and again, and dammit, you're such old friends that you don't have the heart to say no even though it's kind of embarassing the way they go on and don't retire gracefully: Star Trek

♥ The one who always, always breaks your heart, and yet you keep coming back, because part of you believes that this time, maybe it's really going to be different: SGA


Earth Day is coming up in just five days, and to that end, I thought of a nifty challenge for anyone on my f-list. Do a bit of research on an environmental issue that interests you. On/around Earth day, post an entry to your LJ that talks about the issue - what is is, why it's a problem, what research has been done, whatever floats your boat... but most of all, talk about solutions! What are options? What, if anything, can people do at home? What options do you think are the best and why? As an example of the sort of thing I'm thinking of, see my coyote post from a few weeks ago. It doesn't have to be that in-depth - it can be as basic or as comprehensive as you want! I just think this would be a fun way for everyone to learn something important about the world around us, and a way to really honor Earth Day. :)

'Oh, man. Mulder has to cut back on the carbs.'

I was totally thinking that when I saw mulder DD in a clip of his new movie. LOL

So all these articles does that mean we will see XF2 by 2010? LOL

Oh, David, how you need a workout... :P

Only if you keep your fingers crossed! :P

YAAAAAAAAAAY! I'm excited for the movie...

I want the noise book... I'm capable of making freaky-weird noises, but would like to expand my noises!
Kirsten[info]xfkirsten on April 18th, 2007 04:35 am (UTC)
I am, too!!

I wish I could make freaky cool noises!

I really would love to know WHO needs instructions for masterbation..... it is fairly self-exploratory.....err...explanatory

It took me like five years to get to understand certain technical details which cannot be found on textbooks. A manual would have come in handy.

LMAO!!! Well, maybe some people get their rocks off by reading about it. :P

Me.

*reads you a book*
Rebecca[info]ryf on April 19th, 2007 05:51 am (UTC)
I already did, but thanks ;) It's not as natural as you might think, because at least for me, it didn't feel good at all until I had doe it a few times, so I never bothered.
[info]speck76 on April 20th, 2007 06:04 am (UTC)
try....try again....and again...and again...

practice makes perfect :)

Every couple years the rumor about the second movie awakens as an urban legend. I won't believe until I see it, that is if I see it when it gets made, IF it ever gets made.

If they really do it I hope DD goes on a diet, and Gillian gains a few pounds, maybe he should lend her some, he's got a few to spare.
Kirsten: X-Files - Kiss[info]xfkirsten on April 18th, 2007 04:36 am (UTC)
I keep telling myself that... but this is the most confirmation that we've had yet. I Want To Believe! :P

Yep, spread the fat around! :P
sg_lab[info]sg_lab on April 18th, 2007 03:11 am (UTC)
So DD and GA really didn't get along? I have a friend who watched X-Files too and he was always telling me they didn't get along. He was the person or source I had heard this from.
sg_lab[info]sg_lab on April 18th, 2007 03:13 am (UTC)
That is he was the only person or source I had heard this from. :p
Kirsten: X-Files - Kiss[info]xfkirsten on April 18th, 2007 04:38 am (UTC)
From what I'd heard, it's true. There was a lot of rumors going around (particularly around the time they shot the first movie) that the two weren't getting along. I don't think either one of them had confirmed it until now, but there was plenty of talk about it.
sg_lab[info]sg_lab on April 18th, 2007 02:49 pm (UTC)
This is why I don't generally get too involved in fandom. I don't want to know the actors don't get along. There are times I don't want to see the actors in interviews or as themselves. DD never really impressed me when I saw him interviewed.

It can be difficult to be oblivious to these things if the show is so popular like Grey's Anatomy. I guess X-Files wasn't popular enough for this to be big news. :D
Goonerette: Six (laughing)[info]gooner_ette on April 18th, 2007 07:51 am (UTC)
He auditioned for Full House? *dies laughing* Ahhh, I miss the days when the Olson twins were tolerable.

This movie - if it happens - had better not be a prequel. This "standalone" talk worries me. I hope it doesn't mean wiping of 9 years of character (and romantic :p ) development. I really hope it's set after The Truth.
Kirsten: X-Files - Kiss[info]xfkirsten on April 21st, 2007 05:18 am (UTC)
The impression that I got from the article is that he meant the story would take place five years after the series (not just that it was being filmed five years after the end). I certainly hope that's the case, anyways!
