24 Season 7, 10-11 pm

Well, even though this episode wasn’t as exciting as the last couple, I suppose that’s inevitable, and even though it started out kind of “blah”, it definitely picked up there towards the end.

Let’s start with the mostly boring stuff. Ethan finds out Mayer got murdered and that Jack probably did it. He’s really upset that he authorized Jack’s release, and tells the president he needs to resign to shield her presidency. They have this touching emotional goodbye– she takes his hand and all that. I’m still not convinced there’s not more going on between them, but I could be wrong.

More fun on metro: Ads

This is going to be a short one, but I just want to give a shout out to people who make my metro rides interesting (in a positive way– not you jerks who listen to your music too loud!)

I’m not advocating vandalism or anything, but sometimes, harmless vandalism makes me giggle.

24 Season 7, 8-9 and 9-10 pm

So sue me; I’m writing one entry for both of these episodes. Enough is enough. 24 overload. The good news is, I am FINALLY caught up. I’m a little 24-ed out at the moment, so, forgive me if this is less than coherent as usual–not that my 24 entries are usually coherent (I wrote the last two while watching. I hope y’all appreciate that–it necessitated my PAUSING 24 to write. That’s practically a sin.)

So anyway. 24. Where were we? Things have gone a long way over the last two hours, when Olivia was sitting in a chair about to get her eyeballs cut out, and the new annoying vice president with the southern twang was insisting to Larry that he couldn’t authorize the FBI to go in and rescue people.

Way to go, Obama

So for some reason, Obama thought it would be ok to say he bowled a 129– and that that was  “like the Special Olympics.”

Umm. Ok, ignoring the fact that I don’t think I’ve ever bowled over a 100 without bumpers– exactly what was he thinking was going to happen when he said that? Did he think that because he was having a casual chat with a pretty laid back guy, late at night, that it would be ok?!

Thanks :)

So while I’m sure I’ll never be a famous blogger or anything, I really do have fun writing, and I wanted to take a second to say “thanks” to those of you who do actually stop by to see what I’ve got to say.

The impetus for this spontaneous outpouring of thanks?

Patrick being really nice and mentioning me in his list of “Love ya” awards (official explanation: “These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award!”)

Yay! Thanks Patrick!! Your blog rocks too! Thanks for telling me to keep writing!!

Thanks also to Rachel, who’s also recently popped her head in (and listed me on her blog roll!) I am honored!

Thanks also to Carrie, who’s starting to write more and more, and has awesome insights on both life in general, and on the craziness that is the United States Congress.  Love the blog, love Carrie. 🙂

Finally, thanks to those of you who bother to read, at any time…even if just to laugh at my 24 musings. I have fun, and I hope my random ramblings make you smile, too.

24, Season 7, 7-8 pm

Whaddya know, Olivia’s back. Not that I missed her.

“With all due respect, Ethan, you’re the last person [my mother] should have sent,” she just snipped. Ooh! A back story involving Ethan!! Innnnteerrressting.

I love Renee running around through storm drains and all that (where the hell IS she?)..she finds a cop in uniform and tells him to quick, let Larry know– the attack is on the White House– and like clockwork, he’s just calling it in when he gets gunned down by Baby Dubaku.  So nobody knows what’s about to happen, awesome. And of course, Renee doesn’t grab the walkie. In fairness, I guess she didn’t have a whole lot of time, seeing as the kid with the machine gun was running around, but then again, I kind of think if he was going to shoot her, he could’ve done it about five times already. She’s definitely going to have a face-to-face run in with this kid at some point and tell him Daddy’s kicked the bucket. It’s jut a matter of time.

24 Season 7: 6-7 pm

Sorry I am behind…

Random Thoughts:

Sengala City is a city in Sengala? HA. I love the creativity, people.

I’m loving the first interactions between Chloe and Janis. I’m loving Chloe’s eye-rolling.  I love Chloe (obviously.) And even though I know the point was for me to be annoyed with Janis for using her nerdy aptitude to bust Chloe for messing with the data on Dubaku’s “digital storage device”, I’m still annoyed with her. I can’t help it! I kind of want to punch her for Chloe. Chloe still looks pretty non-plussed, even as they’re dragging her off to holding. I can’t decide if that’s awesome, or if I think it’s not really in-character, considering what’s now at stake…

In other news…

Sucking at Life

Do you ever just think to yourself: “Wow, I suck at life?”

I don’t mean in a seriously depressed, I-hate-my-life way. I mean, like, when something completely ridiculous or crazy or stupid happens to you that you seriously doubt “happens to everyone”…and you don’t know whether to laugh or cry? 

Fun times

It seems like I’m always getting myself into dicey situations, without even trying.

Yesterday it’s about 7:30 pm– not exactly 2 in the morning– and I’m on my way home.  I’ve gotten off the train, and I’m walking home, chit-chatting on my cell phone with a friend to pass the time, when I hear this guy walking behind me yelling into his headset something like “Hey mutt! What’s up?”

But whatever, you know, strange things happen…I’m minding my own business… and I just keep going. Then I hear him say something like “Hold on, I gotta get this lady to fix this for me.” So I’m still walking, but I may have glanced over my shoulder. Next thing I know, this guy’s  all like “Hey! I need you to help me with this!”

24 Season 7, 5-6 pm

This is a good one!  I’m not saying it’s not predictable– I think I’ve just been watching this show too long for that– but it is pretty intense! Love it!

First off,  I love the fact that the dumb-blonde, emotionally unstable girlfriend of Sean-the-bad-ass is involved in all this…. although it’s immediately obvious that she’s a liability and will likely be “eliminated”, as the lingo goes…

Back to good-girl Renee, who’s freaking out about getting Marika away from Dubaku. “She’s not an asset, Jack! She’s a human being!”

Oh come on. Seriously. Enough already.
