Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

24: The tortiure this season has been strikingly unnecessry and fruitless. Whatsername just going back to work and being vital to the mission and all is just nonsensical. But whatever, I can ignore that. I thought the schizophrenic aughter storyline was nearly as bad as the mountain lion, so I was more grateful it was over than sorry for Erin. I really prefer for CTU operatives to have no personal lives - I don't want to know about Edgar's mom dying, or Erin's daughter. The only exception to this is Tony and Michelle, but I think that's because I was invested in each of them as part of CTU before they became personal backstory. And I ask President Palmer to come back every time I see him in an insurance commercial.

JZ, represent! I actually am quite fond of Contra Costa, but that may well be because I've never lived there for more than a couple of years at a time.

24: Have they finished the nuclear storyline? I couldn't watch 24 while that was going on, because it was so completely unrelated to reality that it made my head explode. It was hard to get all that exploded head out of the carpet.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

ION, I'd like the room to stop spinning now. This whole vertigo thing is no fun.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Dude, the Unitarian Church is a cult?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

the Unitarian Church is a cult?

And apparently there's something about IUD's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'd be tempted to fill out that survey with "wrong" answers but that would just be way way too easy. Maybe I could claim to be a Christian and give all "normal" answers except say that I'm psychic and that God tells me what to do in dreams.

Ginger, they have retrieved the override and stopped the meltdowns. I do not guarantee that there will not be more wackiness with nuclear plants.

I can't even.

I've been enjoying 24 quite a lot this (for the first time). Has anyone mentioned the bizarre parallels to House of Sand and Fog, including using the same actors. I keep expecting Ben Kingsley to pop up.

It has been fun, for someone who hasn't watched it before.
