Cass, what is this about the skunks? Do you have some living around your area? Under your porch?
I sure understand about strong smells bringing on headaches. Happens to me all the time!
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

This is why I can't go into shops like Lush and The Body Shop. Walking through department stores can be a logistical nightmare too. Please to not spray your perfume all up in my face, lady.

I have the same problem with the Yankee Candle store. I have to hold my breath while walking past them in the mall. Just thinking about being in that store makes me ill. I don't have the same problem with other candle stores, though.

FWIW, since my yoga class often has incense burning, I squirt my nostrils with saline salt solution before and after class a couple times. Makes me look like I have OCD, but I don't care, and it really seems to help my sinuses cope by encouraging the scent molecules to move along.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have very very stoopidheaded cats.
Oddly, I do fine in Lush, almost but not quite not as well in the Body shop, but smelly candles stores are right out.

Oh yeah, scented candles, blergh. In fact, pretty much anything designed to make a room smell of anything other than room, blergh. Especially those plug-in room deodoriser doodads.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oy. Smells and headaches. There's a very narrow subset of Lush things I can own, and shopping there has to be very quick. Things that make rooms smell different, or people smell different, and then there's popcorn even slightly burnt.
It's a stupid existence.

So, 24: I'm really enjoying the complete hobbitiness of Sean Astin's bureaucrat. I'm not sure I buy him in a position of authority, but really enjoying his presence all the same. Since the attack at the airport was a diversion, any chance that we could have Samwise the Mole in there, and he helped CTU foil the terrorists to cement his position of trust ?
So, 5 hours in and Jack hasn't tortured anyone yet ? What's up with that? I figured he might be able to have a go at CTU!Mole-2006, but it looks like he's off the hook for the moment.

Do any LAistas recognise this? I'm not going to enter the competition or anything -- just curious.
Franken, I recently read some comments about the torture last year--it got quite a bit of press. I wonder if that means there'll be less of it this year?
