Mulder and Scully + Amber Volakis singing + Under My Skin's teaser = one perfect minute:
(And it's nice sooner or later to discover some little cool things about Season 5 :P. I haven't paid attention to the artistry of this teaser at all. And she's such a good singer ;))

Ugh, I turned out to be an unknown female :/ :)
But at least Spock is short behind! :) Though I'm not sure why. (I answered on so many questions that I love disregarding the rules, and yet I'm so less of a Kirk *raises eyebrows* Maybe because I answered on a lot more that I don't often date beautiful women :D). And I'm 50% "an expendable character"! LOL. I'm wondering what would have been the description if this had the highest percentage. Maybe "You are a person who-just-doesn't-worth to live"? Or maybe they are heroes, more self-sacrificing than others? :) I've always dreamed about being such *g* (well, without the dying part, mainly the glory:))
But there was a question whether I have lived in a closet for 10 years XD (what?!), and another if I master sward-fighting skills XD, so I guess the test is not much to be trusted!

My favorite French thing is the book Without Family (/Nobody's Boy) by Hector Malot. This is how a Bulgarian edition looks like:
It was my first favorite book. I think I first read it when I was 8 and after I closed it I promised that every week I was going to clean the dust off its covers. :D And also, I was so touched by the ending and everything that I kissed it (the book). :D
Well, I don't think I ever cleaned the dust, but the kissing became a ritual of mine. I still have this habit after I finish a book to give it a little kiss on the front cover. This is like a "thank you", and "goodbye" and I do it as tenderly as the book was good. Of course, if I don't like the book, it does not deserve a kiss, but I don't remember such a case. (I just don't finish books which I don't like...and the ones that I read to the end - there is always at least a little something to like about in them, and I imagine they would feel sad if they don't get a kiss :P ;)). But the French book about Remi and Vitalis started the whole thing.:P
( bonus: House video in French )Maybe you've seen this. It's the only one House video of this genre I've seen :D And lol, Wilson's part is so profound, isn't it:
And what would happen with House if he was a strawberry :D:
Who do you sympathise with - the kid, the strawberry, noone or both?
Like Friday is for many people the favourite day of the week because of the weekend ahead, I think so is June a cool month because of the feeling of summer future. And later on in August if the heat is unbearable and the crickets almost melancholic, in June everything is brand-new and exciting.
( All the rest... )
