OMG!!! A spider! How dare you? *grins*
Good to see you again, too, though you and I have seen each other a few times over the years, thanks to Toronto airport.
Never got into X-Files (actually the episode Tempus Fugit made me even more terrified of planes than I already was, and I vowed then never to watch another ep again *g*) but Castle is made of awesome.
RL has been badly complicated (my dad is getting through serious health problems). Other than that, the high point of the year has been to meet David Tennant face to face (see avatar) and realise he's adorable and just as charming in real life as on screen.
