Sunday, December 31, 2000: Happy New Year's Eve!
Update - An Apology: To Anyone That tried to access my site between 2-6:30pm today. Unfortunately, I uploaded a file for the new UFO Attack Game, which was also named index.html. Doh! It's fixed now, though the back-up copy of the file I had is a little out-dated - I'll have all the new affliates up shortly!
XF News : Wow! The Haven rocks! Thanks to them we have 2 more Mulder pics from a FOX promo - Mulder 1 and Mulder 2! And if you missed the other images from yesterday - here they are - First Mulder Pic, Second one, Doggett and Scully.
And thanks to Khristine's X-Files Page the Surekill Print Ad has been added! I wish I got the US TV Guide - the Canadian version doesn't have those rockin' print ads!
Tonight's Episodes: FOX is airing the re-run of Hollywood AD tonight. Also on FOX - at 12:30am tomorrow (late Sunday night/early Monday morning) Biogenesis is airing!
Updates: As tomorrow is the new year and new millennium (Okay, I'm one of those 'math geeks' LOL)- I added the Millennium Transcript along with some Millennium Images. If you're looking for the shippy pics (sigh...) they're on Page 2!
Also added a new joke - The Declaration of X-Dependence. LOL! And there have been some additions of upcoming episodes on the Upcoming Episode page. And - I fixed a whole bunch of broken links. If you find a broken link, please let me know.
Have a safe and Happy New Year Everyone!
Saturday, December 30, 2000: Happy Saturday!
XF News: What can I say? The Haven always comes through! Apparently there were 2 FOX previews last night pertaining to The X-Files - I caught the preview for January 7th's episode - Surekill last night while I was watching Beethoven. You can find MPG and Real Media versions of that trailer and the January FOX promo here at The Haven!
Also thanks to The Haven we have 4 screenshots of an upcoming January episode with Mulder! First Mulder Pic, Second one, Doggett and Scully. Is anyone else really looking forward to the new episodes? :)
Updates: Totally re-vamped and updated Upcoming Episode Schedule Page. It has a full schedule for Canada, US & UK. If anyone has episode info for any other country please let me know!
The Season 8 Episode is all updated - with all the upcoming summaries and spoiler links up!
Took down the Christmas decorations on the site - I'll have some New Year's Decorations up soon!
I'm listening to Moby's 'My Weakness' as I type - Now all I can think about is 'Closure'. ARG! Mulder come back!!
Friday, December 29, 2000: T minus 3 days until the new Millennium!
Update 4pm: I'm finished all the submissions, so if you applied for/ordered an award or clone - Please let me know! Added all new Award Winners and clone owners. And, ROAD Runners has won two new Awards!
XF News: Finally, some XF News! The Official Site has been updated with some Hollywood AD info. Hollywood AD re-runs this Sunday.
Gillian Anderson and The X-Files have been nominated for TV Guide awards. You can see all the nominations here. You can vote for your favourite shows/actors at TV Guide Online. I would have known about this sooner, but I haven't got my TV Guide for next week yet!
On a sort of off-topic note, I was reading this week's TV Guide and noticed that Beethoven was on tonight on FOX (So did Amy at The Haven!). Now I have a good reason to stay home on a Friday night!
Updates: I have added a new Add A Link Page. This page requires zero effort on my part (excepting deleting links)!! I will be converting the current Links Page into a detailed page of all my favourite X-Files links.
Megan says: I got a new computer yesterday! Yippee! As a result, I got absolutely no website stuff done yesterday. I just finished transferring all the files from my old computer (yeah FTP!!)...so I should be able to get all the submissions done today... I think... :) And there should be some more updates later in the day!
Thursday, December 28, 2000: T minus 4 days until the new Millennium!
Megan's Rant: AHHH! I just was at The Haven and I read the URL it is currently at is shutting down. I'm freaking out! I love that place!!!
Updates: Updated Doggett Bio.
So many e-mails today! AHH! I'm still working on all the submissions (clones, awards, links, etc). ROAD Runners also has 2 brand new affliates! XF World and Rat Tail Production's X-Files Site. They are both awesome sites - check 'em out! If you would like to become an affliate please E-Mail Me. I will be creating a separate page for affliates on my Links Page as well as featuring them on my Opening Page!
Lots of stuff to come later today!
Wednesday, December 27, 2000: I'm back!
XF News?: Well, even though I was away from my computer for 2 days, there's not much XF News. The only tidbit of news I've found is that according to TV Now Episode 10's title is Salvage, but that's unofficial :)
Updates: Updated and completed Episode Guide (Seasons 1-8). When I was working on Season 7 I realized I saw my first non re-run episode in February 2000 (Sein Und Zeit) - Wow, that wasn't very long ago!
Created new layout for 'Philes For All Things X - check it out, please!
I'll be working on the Award Submissions, Clone Adoptions and Link Submissions tonight and tomorrow - so today would be a good day to submit any of the above!
Hope everyone had and is having a great holiday season!

When I went to fxnetwork.com I saw 'Married with Children' was on at 6pm and the page was loading incredibly slow, so I couldn't check the full schedule. I'm really confused!! Please head over to the feedback form or E-Mail Me if you have any insights on the matter!
