Tonight, again, enjoyed a couple of episodes of The X-Files written by Vince Gilligan. I watched Season 6, Episode 14 “Monday,” and Season 7, Episode 3 “Hungry.” “Monday” is a time-loop story. When the cause of the loop is finally revealed at the end, it’s quite heartbreaking. “Hungry” is structured like an episode of Columbo, told from the monster’s point of view. The fact that the brain-eater works at a hamburger joint adds a darkly comic touch 🍔.
This morning I can hear the wheelbarrow bird, it isn’t raining, and I detect just the faintest hint of approaching spring. I’m in the back garden in boxers and a T-shirt. I mean, I’m freezing my nuts off, but still.
All catches alight…
