A New Year Begins While reflecting on my life today, I surrender to the darkest thoughts. Painful moments stay. Painful moments haunt. There is much that I got wrong, Despite striving to do what was right. I was resolute and strong-Asshole clenched so tight. There were lovers I lost. Some lovers who betrayed. There were times I paid a cost That others should have paid Hope is the thing with feathers-It flies away with the last breath. Love is the thing that tethers Us through the years despite death. I think of friends from time long past Whose journeys through life has ended. Well, there is neither pride nor shame in being the last, But there were some rifts I wish I had mended. A new year, a new day- My thoughts turn to tomorrow. A new year means more to pay While carrying still the sorrow. Oh, well, even more reason to smile As midnight strikes and another year begins. A New Year certainly brings mor trials, But I live and so can make mistakes again.

Held off posting this because I submitted it for publication but it was rejected so am sharing it here. Imagine it’s New Years again. A 2026 do over.

I'm already in love with Scully, because Gillian Anderson, my god. But I also love Mulder, because David Duchovny. Not too deep in knowing who recurring characters are yet, but Seth Green was hilarious on ep. 2. Loving every second so far.

On the phone with my ma discussing X-Files. I said it's criminal that they put two of the most beautiful people on television, on screen together and she says, "Mitch Pileggi and David Duchovny?" 😭

I'm not saying Skinner isn't handsome, but why would I be talking about him and not Gillian Anderson?

It actually lends itself well to binging and the production quality and storytelling lives up nicely. There are some things that in today’s context we might see as racism or sexism within certain episodes. You might enjoy a rewatch.

Sinners becomes first film in history to earn 16 Oscar nominations Ryan Coogler’s ghost story breaks records as One Battle After Another trails in second with 13 nods and Marty Supreme, Sentimental Value and Frankenstein trail with nine apiece

​Ryan Coogler hitting a record 16 nominations for Sinners is the best thing that could happen to #TheXFiles.
​It means he has the industry clout to protect his vision and the budget to do it properly. In the words of Mulder. Bring It On.

My horoscope for today mirrors my thoughts I posted yesterday. I hope I can live up to trying to be brighter, lighter, and better for everyone who interacts with me.

On this day in 1964, The Beatles released 'Meet the Beatles!' in the U.S., kicking Beatlemania into overdrive and changing American pop culture overnight.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

A new single and album for David Duchovny are on their way, but in the meantime I thought revisiting some of the promotion for Gestureland might be fun. This particular interview might be for the music nerd. It’s a good musical discussion.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy episode 1 review | Efficiently going where many have tried to go before A new dawn for Star Trek on TV and an attempt to salvage its reputation after rocky times. Is Starfleet Academy the bright new hope?

I’ll be reviewing the newest entry into the #StarTrek fold, #StarfleetAcademy, regularly for @filmstories.bsky.social.

Very pleasantly surprised to report that the pilot, ‘Kids These Days’, was far better than I was expecting. filmstories.co.uk/news/star-tr...

My New Years Resolution was to enjoy in person entertainment events more frequently. Using a thread to post to hold myself accountable and look back at end of year. This was my first-a Sunday matinee. A very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. Never saw Paul Simon himself live. A regret.

Mulder loves Scully SO much it's unreal. David Duchovny is 24/7 heart eyes from the pilot

A collection of poetry by David Duchovny called About Time. It is hardcover, mostly black, and a grissled portrait of his face forms the cover.

I hate that you kinda have to already be famous to get published. That said, a few poems in here caused real reflection, called to be re-read, and, even though I had an XPHLE license plate, made me forget I was reading Mulder. In a video killed the radio star kind of way, poetry should be faceless.

What I’ve been listening to have since 2024 is Fail Better by David Duchovny…

I'm over half-way through Season 2 of #TheXFiles and this show has captured me heart and soul.

I'm loving every second of the ride.
