Cool Texas Dawn… that is a good nickname for you.
And your second line “Find someone who makes you smile” is all you will ever need!
Cheers to a great week Audrey Dawn…
Oh my word?! I’m the farthest thing from that nickname, Dalo! Thanks for my smile. Yes, a hug and smooch for you, my dear, and a powerful nod to your week, as well. I won’t bring up Thanksgiving…or I will. Will you find a way to celebrate?
This year, Thanksgiving is meeting the Chinese branch of an Italian company visiting and inspecting a factory in China ~ ugh, and leave for the airport later this afternoon. But in 3 weeks, I am homeward bound, so not a bad deal 🙂
Your itinerary doesn’t sound like Thanksgiving at all…Best wishes for safe travels, Dalo. You’re probably long gone by now, so I’ll see you when I see you. 🙂 Home for Christmas..a wonderful plan.
Thank you. I hope you believe that to be true. I have to tell you that I’m just sitting here laughing over that debate! Just giggling. Your buddy ruined my poem. Haha. (Naww. Totally, didn’t..! J/K) I suppose you thought of the show, as well. I enjoyed seeing their banter today after my class. Smart, creative people are so awesome. There is always something in common. I wish I had something to add, but I think I was reading romance novels or studying Spanish instead. I miss all the good fun. 🙂 xx
Yes, it may be harder than getting gum out of my ponytail! (Which happened to me during my classrooms Thanksgiving celebration. ..they aren’t even supposed to have gum) Crazy day! Anyway, thank you, Victor. Very happy to help you with your smile. Hope someone got to see it since I didn’t. xx
Hahaha. Oh, no! Harder than getting gum out of my ponytail. That could be a line in a future poem. Just throwing that possibility out there. 😉 What grade do you teach? 🙂
A poem about gum…hmm. Something to consider, huh?! I like it when you suggest something to me. Very sweet of you! I’m with young children of various ages. Mostly bilingual.
Don’t try to fool me, Sir. I know you already have six ideas swimming through that creative little mind of yours. You have no idea how much of a scardy cat I am…I’m one of those “oh my god don’t show me that! Wait…come back here! Let me see…wait hide me behind your back…” sort of girls. You wouldn’t want this sweet lady’s soul. Not near exciting enough for you, Eric. I don’t trick easily either…I’m very smart. 😉
Yeah. You’re scaring me now! And have me smirking. T.R.O.U.B.L.E
It was the one who could hypnotize you with his words. Mulder tries to talk the judge into keeping him gagged during the trial but the judge doesn’t buy it… and then more people die.
It was a brutal episode, really. But it stuck in my head like you wouldn’t believe.
I think the man’s face is stuck in my head. It was a very creepy episode–I do remember that. I think I liked the funny episodes best, though. Like when Luke Wilson is the small town sheriff.
I’m not sure I saw that one. But the funny ones are awesome. I think two of my favorites are Humbug (that’s the one that takes place among the Carnival folks) and Jose Chung’s From Outer Space (that’s the one where Charles Nelson Reilly tries to write a book about one of their cases.)
But, as a horror writer (of sorts!), I am especially fond of the creepy ones like Home. (I won’t even try to describe it. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_(The_X-Files) ). I think one of the strengths of the show was that the tone varied. You had “monster of the week” episodes, tongue in cheek episodes, mythology episodes…
And then you had episodes that just really threw you like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musings_of_a_Cigarette_Smoking_Man
Who knew that one of the most villainous characters in the series could be so poignantly and sympathetically portrayed.
It must have been on at the same time as Days Of Our Lives… 😉 I didn’t see an episode, however, I wasn’t into SciFi til later. Much later. Like 5 years ago.
I went through an As the World Turns phase. What I loved about soap operas were when they had their Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes it was in real time. So fun.
There’s something about a daily relationship with the characters–even though they’re fake and over-the-top. I don’t care if it’s uncool to like soaps–I liked them A LOT.
