Watching Fight the Future for the first time in, like, 2 years. I have no idea what's going on. All of the sudden I was just overcome with the uncontrollable urge to watch it. I'd forgotten how... not bad it was. Mulder and Scully are smart! There's no baby! Their beautiful, beautiful hair! Skinner still has balls! The Well-Manicured Man! And man, I had totally forgotten how kick-ass the score was! Good times!
The summer of '98 was the absolute best time to be in online XF fandom. The Haven board had SMART people having INTELLIGENT discussions on it! I am dead serious. It may be hard to believe now, but I swear to god it's true. I've even got all kinds of posts printed out to prove it.
In other news, 107.7 has been playing good music (!!) lately, a rare treat ever since Marco left in, like, '97 or '98 (in retrospect, it seems that everything went to hell after 1998) to go join some record label in California or whatever. I mean, it's still not quite at the Marco level, but what can you do when the most popular "rock" bands of the moment are crap like Linkin Park and Incubus and Nickelback?
I remember when they cut the People's Choice Countdown to 5 songs, and then everyone got pissed and harassed 'em until they changed it back to 10. And the sound clip they always played before the #2 song was that "Wiggle diggle dee, wiggle diggle do, this next song is number two!" thing. And Lacey and I would sit on the couch in Ms. Craig's class in the morning and talk about how awesome "Brick" was and how we couldn't believe it when it got bumped out of #1. I can't remember, but I think the song that bumped it was "Detachable Penis," which was also a hilarious topic of discussion in that class. And ohhh, the sing-a-longs to "American Pie" and god, sitting at the lunch table reading excerpts from "The Book of Execution" and buying like, $5 worth of those 25 cent chocolate chip cookies...
*sigh* If I ignore the fact that I was still 6 years away from graduating, couldn't drive, and was an even bigger dork than I am now, those were pretty damn good times!
