Guess What?

amberfocusI think I'm going to live. Which I wouldn't even have thought of saying before today. Now I am by no means over this stupid illness, but my left ear is no longer clogged up and my right ear is no longer crackling, which goes a long way in helping to restore my sanity. I think actually sleeping helped. I slept from 1:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. in one stretch and then I got a two hour nap in today, so even though I am still exhausted I am not tired, if you can tell the distinction between the two. Hey, it's progress. My cough is almost gone, my temp is down to 98.9 (my normal is like 97.4 so still a low grade fever for me, but better!), and I do not feel like my entire cranium is full of gunge. Still some sinus pressure and a lot of lethargy, but yes, I really do believe I am going to live now.
I am also eating real food again (i.e. stuff I cook that does not come out of a can or a box).
I even wrote a little. I didn't finish anything, but I wrote a little. Today was early release from school so not a lot of time to write anyway that was not spent napping instead. I may take my laptop with me tonight to tae kwon do. T has sparring and then he has his belt test after (the makeup test since he was sick during the regular one) so we will be there over an hour. I might be up to writing some then, especially seeing as the only book I have to read right now is The Omnivore's Dilemma, which is grossing me out right now and making me more determined than ever to buy an organic, grass-fed half of beef this fall. I really need to go to the library some time soon and find something science-fictiony to read in parking lots and waiting rooms that have no wi-fi.
I have just finished season four of The X-Files and I totally do not remember that scene where Mulder is sitting in the shower with the water going full blast and Scully just comes right into the bathroom and pulls back the curtain. I would think that would have made more of an impression on my twenty-something brain. I remember other parts of the episode, but not all of it, and I'm pretty sure I missed maybe the first episode of the two part season premiere of season 5 as well, which makes me wonder how that happened because that was totally must see TV and--oh, wait I was very sick with morning sickness that year, I very well might have run out of the room and missed pivotal moments.
Anyway, I was kind of floored that Scully just walked in there and no one said boo about the fact that he was naked, like this was a perfectly normal thing for them to do in their relationship at this point. I also loved it that she felt that comfortable doing it that she didn't think twice about it. She was worried so she just went in. Yes, she's a doctor and blah, blah, blah, but I think it says tons about their relationship. Also later on when Mulder was crying because he thought it was truly his fault that Scully had cancer and that he was going to really lose her, she was going to really die, and there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it, you tell me he didn't love her?
I remember so many people saying they were not in love at that point (I was aware of the fandom, just not like you are aware of fandoms now with the internet) and you know, I always thought they were then but didn't want to screw up their work relationship, but now, watching for it and seeing all the nuances that go over your head the first time you watch something, I don't really see how anyone could have denied it. Or why they did. It's even clearer to me than the fact (according to the writers) that the Doctor and Rose are in love. Even without the endgame in either case that proves it.

Date: 2012-04-19 03:28 am (UTC)I was all aboard the good ship Mulder/Scully from the moment I started watching XF (which, admittedly, was the summer after the first season, so I got a whole season of episodes crammed into a short timeframe). I think there was definitely chemistry between them right away (look at the bedroom scene in the very first episode) and the events of the second and third seasons really cemented their relationship. By season four, I agree, they were very much in love with each other, but they both had so many personal issues, plus there was the very real fear of being split up at work (which they'd already experienced at least once already, so they know it sucks!), so I don't think they could act on it. "Unruhe" and "Memento Mori" (omg, how we squeeeeeeeeeeeed over that little forehead kiss! LOL) are amongst my two favorite episodes. I really need to watch these again, it's been ages!
