X-Files Movie Filming in December?
October 30, 2007 About bloody time!!! 
The second X-Files Film starts filming in December. Read the article here
I can’t find the original article on Comingsoon.net though, so it could still be a load of crap? However and I never thought I’d be saying this I really hope the filming doesn’t mess up the shooting of Californication, which I absolutely adore. David Duchovny has finally managed to shake off Mulder with Hank, and I think I prefer Hank…I must be getting old
**UPDATE** it’s official they are filming in Vancouver (the spiritual home of the X-Files) starting 20th December. Here’s an article that one of my friends sent me and an old school picture for fellow Philes
Scully, Mulder return to theaters on July 25
By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK, TATIANA SIEGEL
The long-awaited second “X-Files” film is finally a go, with 20th Century Fox setting a July 25, 2008 release date.Untitled project reunites “X-Files” creator Chris Carter with thesps David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, who will reprise their signature roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
Carter begins lensing in December in Vancouver from a script he co-wrote with Frank Spotnitz, a veteran scribe of the long-running “X-Files” television series, which became a worldwide hit in its 1993-2002 run on the Fox network. Spotnitz also co-wrote with Carter the screenplay for 1998 feature “X-Files.”
Studio is keeping the film’s logline under wraps, but stressed the pic is a stand-alone story and supernatural thriller that takes the complicated relationship between Mulder and Scully in new directions.
As of now, there are only two other titles skedded for July 25, both comedies. Sony unspools Will Ferrell-John C. Reilly starrer “Step Brothers,” directed by Adam McKay, while MGM has bows untitled Ice Cube family laffer.
Bringing the “X-Files.” sequel to the bigscreen was waylaid when Chris Carter brought a 2005 lawsuit against Fox over how the “X-Files” syndication profits were divvied up. Suit was later settled.
Earlier this year, the issue seemed to have been resolved, with Duchovny and Anderson both indicating the that the film was finally forward.
Released in 1998, feature film “The X-Files” grossed $187 million worldwide, including a domestic haul of $83.9 million and an international cume of more than $103 million.
Pumpkin Day
October 29, 2007We’re big on Halloween in our house, baby geek loves to dress up and is incredibly theatrical, so she’s really into the whole thing. Today we started the decorating with choosing our pumpkins at Tesco, Waitrose was far too expensive. Anyway we had the Supercook pattern book from Waitrose so away we went.
Loss
October 28, 2007Sometimes you stumble across a blog and you are completely captivated by it.
I found this blog by accident, initally I didn’t really take much notice of the words, I just thought the pictures were amazing and beautiful. I have a 4 year old daughter and it’s incredibly difficult to get her to stay still to stay still to have her picture taken. Sheye’s photos are just gorgeous, she captures the spirit of the child so amazingly.
Then I started reading the words……and I cried my eyes out. Sheye lost her daughter Ava to an accident last February. Ava was the same age as my daughter and I just can’t imagine what they as a family have been through.
Sheye writes so movingly about her loss, being a mother and trying to make sense of something that no one can make sense of. It’s made me re-assess my life. Now I don’t sweat the small stuff and I always give my daughter the extra 5 minutes of my time she wants rather than pushing her away because I’m ‘busy’. Thankyou Sheye.
Check Sheye’s blog here and Ava’s memorial site here it’s moving and a tribute to all her children, not only Ava. I admire her no end, and I’m thinking of her and her family today.
*Update* Pass this on to anyone you know who has small children. Ava’s rules
Croydon the Homeland
October 27, 2007::SOB:: It’s been what 6 years..maybe 7 but I feel quite homesick watching this….. never thought I’d miss the hole, but seeing St George’s Walk and Panino’s where I used to meet up with my friends after school has made me a little weepy I miss my friends and I miss delivery food - other than that not much else!

Betty Update
October 20, 2007Betty is getting bigger, she’s now 10 weeks maybe 11? Tomorrow she is getting her second round of jabs and microchipped, poor love. But she has adopted Geek Daughter’s trampoline (well stolen it!) and she thinks it’s the best place to eat her carrots.
Did they really need this in a phone box?!?!
October 20, 2007I saw this on the way home on Thursday and it just made me laugh. Why on earth did I not think of starting a sign business before the smoking ban?
21st Century Diva
October 15, 2007OMG! Beautiful, pretty, shinies….. 21st Century Diva looks like it has all my favourite things
I’m in love with the laptop bags (the Paul Smith is especially gorgeous), the bling diamante flash drive made me laugh but they are donating money to Breast Cancer Awareness so go buy one!
When baby geek was little I would have killed for this bag if I could get all her crap and a laptop in it
The best part, you can buy stuff from Apple there too! I shall be testing their delivery when I order after pay day.
