Phew!

Another exciting two hours of our lives!! What possibly could happen next?!?

Maybe the little man saw too much of 24. He didn't want to go to sleep. Finally he did. I think he is concerned about setting up the Perimeter!!

Tomorrow should be a better blogging day for me. The little man was a little off his schedule. "A" better be careful in mentioning "poopie," you know what happens when you get on the phone with a new mom, don't you?!? Why should blogging be any different LOL

Have good night

Jack Was Right!

Fayed is the bad guy, not Assad.

Now, Jack will have some political capital. He's going to have to spend it.

I can't wait until tomorrow!

Where did Jack Get the Clean Shirt?

And why did that conductor appear to believe Jack when he introduced himself as a Federal Agent, and told him that the guy was a terrorist?

(or is the point that in this terrible future depicted on 24, any waspy looking conductor would believe that any middle-easterner might be a terrorist? The terrorist -- a babe like all of the rest of "them" on this show -- looked like a businessman.)

Does This Blog Make My Butt Look Racist?

Was my last post racist? This is the terrible thing about shows like 24. It boils people down into categories: redneck, terrorist, Middle-Easterner...

...check out a test about racism by noted psychologist (and collaborator of His Holiness the Dalai Lama) Paul Ekman. Which I can't find out there on the web any more. It was quite interesting...Ekman studies faces, and in addition to working with the Dalai Lama, he and his colleagues have done work with the Man (you know, CTU) to teach law enforcement officers how to "read" faces and behavior.

Here's another Ekman test that I can still find out there: can you spot the fake smile? I did okay on this one.

Is this Really Necessary?

I don't need to see some sort of redneck kicking the crap out of a teenager of unnamed middle Eastern descent.

And is this kid related to Behrouz from the other season?

Why isn't "M" Blogging?

She has to feed "the little man".

When we talked earlier in the day, I suggested that she pump to avoid this messy circumstance.

I don't want to hear about any poopy diapers.

I Just Missed Much of What Happened

because I was editing the blog setup. (and I screwed something up, too, somehow I lost the "contributors" piece of the template.)

"M" and I didn't realise that 24 was back so soon. We thought we'd have a couple of weeks to get our act together.

The terrorists are still better looking than the good guys. And Chloe's husband is a total babe.

What happened to Audrey? Is she off setting up a perimeter? Or by now do they have her heading up some arena of whatever war is going on? (Pretty good for someone who used to be her dad's secretary.)

And when did Bill and Karen get married? Were they married all last season, or did they hook up in the intervening 2 years?

And is Jack so chipper after being killed because he learned secret chi-gong techniques from a friendly guard in Chinese prison?

(And prison possiblye awakened Jack's compassion...did you see him just stop torturing that guy because he could "see it in his eyes, he's not gonna tell us anything"? Good thing for the good guys that the supposedly former bad guy is not as much of a soft guy. And clearly not a practitioner of ahimsa (non-violence)...the bad guy clearly enjoyed inflicting that pain and killing the badder of the bad guys.)

Drop the Coffee?

It's the most important meal of the day!

CTU Left Jack for Dead...

...with a Nextel?

Lost Boys

M said, Jack's gone back to Lost Boys.

But it looks like that infusion of terrorist blood was like a B-12 shot. (Or a 10 minute headstand!) After being stabbed in the shoulder, doused in what appeared to be some kind of caustic acid, and then stabbed with a foot long needle in what looked like the spine...and then flat-lining, now he's back on the phone with the President.

And why do the bad guys always confess their strategy before killing someone?

(And how about David Palmer, back from the dead in the Allstate commercial?)

I hope that M's son, J didn't just see that!

No 13 month old should have to see Jack Bauer tear a man's throat out with his teeth.

Season Premiere

Should be good, but I don't know if our blog will compare to Dave Barry's
