Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

Short Patrick Dempsey article: I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV. Kinda weird comment there at the end.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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?

Random facts about Jack Bauer.

Can someone please get a Random Facts thing going about Batman?

This is my cousin. I'm so...proud sounds like I had anything to do with it. But still. Excited. I like my family sometimes. It does good.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I find the thing I'm liking most about 24 this time around is Chloe and the First Lady. They should get together and fight crime before this season is over.
