Remember that Rolling Stone cover that featured Mulder and Scully (David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) in bed together? That came out right around the time I first started watching The X-Files, and really put me on course to be a shipper. Back then, I didn’t watch television shows primarily for the hookup potential of [...]

So right now my home “office” is in the back of the living room. I had originally put my computer hutch here so I could keep an eye on my son while he’s watching TV or playing video games. But now that he’s getting a little older and spends more time outside with his friends [...]

The article then goes on to talk [...]

Plus, now it’s noticeably swollen when compared to my other ankle, so it might even be getting worse! I might have to go to the doctor if this doesn’t [...]
