smiling

• Quotation of the day: "No matter how paranoid you are, you're not paranoid enough. Tell the truth. Reach as many people as you can with it. That's your weapon."--Susanne Modeski from the X-Files. It all started with her.
• Here is the second X-Files: I Want to Believe trailer. I wish I could get a sound bite of this part: "Scully?" "Mulder." Kills me. Just in them saying each other's names, you can get their whole attitude toward each other. Mulder sounds tentative, and rightly so if he wants to ask Scully to help him drink his wine. Mulder has always been single-minded and had a death wish; he knows he's not been the most steady and dependable person to Scully. So Scully is rightly scared to do anything with him. She's probably worn and weary cuz of him I'm guessing.

• And here is the retrospective again, since the last one I posted got taken down on YouTube. *series spoilers*

• Second quotation of the day: "Why do we smile? What a random thing to do." --Aubrey H. Seriously, why do we smile? In other animals, baring the teeth is a sign of aggression. No wonder most animals either run away from us or try to eat us when we act friendly toward them (smile).
