A slight makeover, The X-Files news, and other random stuff.

Well? 

How does it look?

I hadn't intended to go so dark, but I found myself diggin' the purple flames. I wish they continued down the page more, but I can't seem to make that happen.

I got inspired for an update from Tara Tyler. She's always sprucing up her blog and I hadn't made a change in a while.

If something weird creeps up, please let me know.

The Re-opening of The X-Files News

The X-Files has a new and improved page on FOX.com with all the latest happenings.

Did you catch the new trailer with 3 seconds of new footage? Duchovny back in a suit!!!

Check it out HERE.

FOX, as usual, starts out with a great idea and then has a brain fart ending in an epic fail.

This is their new campaign. Starting on 7-7-2015 (yesterday), if you start watching 1 episode of The X-Files each day, in order, you will end up watching the last episode (#201) the same day the first NEW episode airs, which is 1-24-2016.

But, they're not going to air the episodes on FOX.

WHAT?

That's fine for someone like me, who already owns the entire box set.

Do they really think everyone is going to suddenly run out and buy the whole set so they can watch it each day? They're not using all their brain cells.

Oh, wait. It's FOX.

Here's the latest shot of the Gnome Garden. It's getting a little crazy in there. I had no idea these tiny plants were going to get so big!

  1. I didn't know about that Amazon policy! I only post reviews for blogger buddies so I hope they don't get rejected :(
    The purple flames are nice but it's dark and scary all the way down here at the comments, LOL.

    1. A little scary, I agree. I wish I could get more flames.

  2. Loving the purple flames. That Amazon policy is terrible—I definitely signed that petition.

    I haven't stopped being mad at Fox since...when, since you know when. I never watched the X-files, but I hope they treat it well.

    And that Avengers picture is just all kinds of awesome.

    1. I hope they let Chris Carter work his magic on his show. They were always best when they were his episodes.

  3. LOL, every time I see something about the X-Files I think of you. I think the old shows are on either Netflix or Amazon Prime. Love that Avengers pictures.

    1. Since when is Netflix free? That would be nice. I left them cause they got too pricey.
      I use the library and Redbox to feed my movie addictions. :)

  6. The petition is definitely making the rounds. I signed it a few days ago.

    Yeah, Fox doesn't always think. Do you think they are still kicking themselves over Firefly?

    1. I hope they kick themselves ALL the time.
      It's not the only show they took from me!

  7. You are now officially the go to person for anything X-Files. And that gnome garden may take over the world if you're not careful. Haven't signed the petition yet. Off to remedy that.

  8. LUV the purple vapor look. Nice! And oh gosh, don't get me going on the Amazon thing. I've avoiding 'learning' all those details until recent. But I can't anymore. So, the other day, I started looking into this. Thank you for posting the link here. Off I go....

      No reason for Amazon to get even more uppity!

  11. Your blog looks cool. I like the purple flames. I didn't know they're bringing back X-files. My sister said she wanted to have an X-file marathon just the other day. Heading over to sign the Amazon petition now.

  12. Like the purple flame (and the overall dark look)
    Talking of X files, I recently saw all the episodes of "The Fall" back to back (Netflix) A well made series.
