I want to believe

turpsI've had a very nice day today. We finally went to see Star Wars and I enjoyed it so much. When it was done I wanted to turn around and go see it again. Though we did pointlessly sit to the end of the credits for nothing. I should have known there was no end scene as I'd seen no mention these last few weeks, but at the same time I hadn't actually been looking in case of spoilers so we stayed just in case.
Before that we'd had dinner and a wander around the Metrocenter, where I bought a Unicorn Horn bubble bath bar from Lush, one that looks disturbingly like a sparkly pointed butt plug. I did have a picture up on instagram, and laughed at it all the way home, but when I got home and looked on my computer I deleted the picture as the flash made my nails look like they're manky, which they're really not.

I also helped reunite a little three year old boy with his dad after I noticed him walking around by himself. I watched for a while in case he was just walking in front of his family, but nope, he was totally alone and heading for The Disney Store, so I caught up with him and stayed with him while James got one of the Disney workers who within seconds had radioed for security. It was very impressive how fast people arrived to help look for his family, not that the little boy seemed all the fussed, he was just transfixed by the Star Wars display at the front of the store.
Then five minutes after we got home Corey called for a chat which was really nice.
Yesterday I watched the new X Files ep. I was so nervous doing so because X Files was huge for me back in the day. I was a from season one episode one watcher, and I can remember getting really annoyed when my little cult show I loved so much and was tucked away on BBC2 was moved to BBC1 because it meant it was now mainstream.
My love for that show was true and immense and is tangled up with memories of a stage of my life when everything was changing hugely. Mulder and Scully, I loved them so so much, and while I gave up on the show toward the end -- because an X Files without Fox was an X Files I didn't want to see, the way I felt about those early seasons has never changed. So I was so nervous about these new episodes.
I have to admit, I got goose bumps hearing the theme tune and the first sound of Mulder's voice. It wasn't a perfect episode by a long way, and had faults, but my nostalgic self was very happy with what I watched, and I'm very much looking forward to watching the next episode, which will be tomorrow now as I'm full of nachos and Star Wars feels and need to go chill on the couch and watch some tv for a while.
But yes, an excellent day.
