oh yeah. it's a monday

+ So I overslept, which meant I ran out the door, which meant that I didn't take my pills, which means that I will probably be feeling like I want to die at about 1:00 when my brain chemistry starts FREAKING OUT. Oh, anti-depressants. The things you do to me.

+ Anyway! I have a question for y'all who are X-Files-y inclined.


So I'm two episodes into the 7th season (I will finish this show one day, I swear). And...I'm confused. Because S6 ended with Mulder being driven out of his mind by the device, whatever it was, and Scully standing on top of a spaceship or whatever. It was a pretty awesome finale. Except that right now it seems like NONE OF THAT HAPPENED. Seriously? This is all I'm going to get? Am I supposed to just assume that Mulder got better? And they're not even going to reference it? I'm supposed to forget that it happened? IS THIS A SITCOM?

I can handle the no explanation about the spaceship--this show drops and picks up the mytharc threads all the freakin' time, so I'm used to that. BUT MULDER WAS IN AN INSTITUTION. SCREAMING HIS LUNGS OUT. I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS SHIT.

I...just...am not sure what to do?


+ And another question: if I want to change the text on my journal so that all of it (in the entries/comments) is in a darker font so that I can read it a little better (I love the color scheme, but it does require some eye-straining), what code do I need to look for in the CSS? I've changed a few colors, I thought, but nothing seems to have changed, so I must be changing the wrong thing, I guess? Any thoughts?


+ [livejournal.com profile] snickfic's latest fic revived all of my Jo Harvelle feelings and now I want ALL the fic where Jo's interacting with Dean (shippy or non, I don't even care). Any recs, y'all?


+ I miss Leverage already.

+ And a quick poll:

Well, she didn't dig it up? She found another bit of the artifact and then the camera pulled back and she was standing on top of it. But I couldn't tell whether she could see it or not.

Yeah, I'm virtually certain she dug it up. (God, my memory is vague now. I used to have this stuff memorized). Weren't there visions and stuff? Doesn't this somehow lead into the episode Amore Fati? Where Mulder has those weird apocalyptic visions?

And I seem to think that either she dug up another one or it's this one that's still being studied because I think there was something about that in the William arc later.

(Boy, it's shocking to me how my memory has faded.)

Back in the day X-Files pattern was that it would have a mytharc episode basically during sweeps and then between sweeps it would mostly be MOTW. (Which probably makes it more strange in DVD viewing, but had a certain rhythem to it at the time).

Hmm...then it must return later. Because none of that stuff you're talking about has happened yet. So that's good--knowing it will be back!
