Falling behind, falling weight

A succession of trips away has led to a Walking The X-Files feast and famine: several days without a single episode, followed by multi-episode days as I desperately try to catch up. On a recent business trip to Las Vegas I even loaded some episodes onto my PSP so I could continue the walk from the hotel gym, but the $25 gym fee firmly put me off that. So overall I'm a couple of episodes behind, but there's still plenty of time to catch up. And another pound has disappeared too, giving me a total weight loss of 8 pounds so far.

Episode-wise, things are moving along very strongly. A great season four told the story of Scully and her struggle with cancer. I'm now nearing the end of season five, a season in which Mulder no longer believes in aliens from outer space, in contrast to Scully who does become a believer. All good fun, and I'm just a handful of episodes away now from the first X-Files movie.
