Yay Pats! I left the game in the middle, but had been watching with SD fans, so I kind of wish I had been there for the win, but am really just as glad I had dinner with my cousin and her husband. Is he my cousin, too? I guess so, kinda.
Say, anybody remember the conversation we had about elementary school teachers who tell their students that you "can't" subtract a bigger number from a smaller one, and how betrayed some people felt by that?
Me! Me!!!
The textbook we're using tells me that "Negative numbers have no square roots." Now, eighth graders don't need to know about imaginary numbers -- they're certainly not going to see them this year, and maybe not ever. But to completely deny them like that... for shame, McDougal Littell!
ARGH. Seriously, if there's one thing kids should be used to hearing, isn't it "You'll understand when you're older"??
I have basically been eating since 2pm and am now mad full.
24:
Siddig!
Damn, I totally did not recognize him until I read the name here.
Also,
Vampire!Jack was awesome.
I LOVED
Vampire!Jack
- it's like he went
feral
while he was in China. Also, perhaps we could call him
LostBoy!Jack.
FAQWife just noted that after Jack
vamped out,
he
escaped through the sewers.
Hmmmm.... makes you think...
Plus, because
Buffy references
must come in threes, we have
Jesse
working at CTU.
Did Fury write this one?
Howard Gordon wrote the first part. With the
AWESOME Hannibal Lecter moment.
Aw. My parents just called me to say they had to put their dog to sleep.
That's so sad, Lee.
I came in here to post non-sad news which is that I'm watching the news after 24 and they were live from some viewing party in Woodland Hills and the reporter mentioned that, before they arrived, one of the show's executive producers happened to stop by the party (they said it was a coincidence and he didn't know there was a viewing party going on)... it was Fury.
Oh Lee, I am sorry.

ION, Keifer's voice!
This...
Siddig! and he's smokin' hot!
and this were the highlights of
24
tonight. Not complaining... Forgot exactly how much suspension of disbelief I needed but levels have now been readjusted.
Aww, Lee, I'm sorry. I know the dog in question had a good run, but damn, it's never easy.
Thanks Guys. Sam the dog definitely did have a good run, but yeah, I think my parents are having a hard time with it.
