AND the villains aren't written like total buffoons.
It makes me with that a similar approach was taken by the WWE in their storylines.
Just give the audience credit, already...
So, Dev and I walked MFJ home, picked up some snacks, and dropped on the couch, ready to watch the DVD.
Last year, when we watched the first season, it was the bunch of obsessed geeks, watching the television like our lives depended on it.
Canton would let out these gasps of "eek!" as well as pretty much screaming like a girl whenever any plot twist jumped out at us.
So Canton was on his computer, and he asked, "So you guys are watching 24?"
"Yup," Dev and I said.
"I'm going to my room, then. Catch up on some reading."
Seven minutes later, he comes out of his bedroom.
"I hate you guys. What's happened so far?"
So, we watched the first three episodes. When Jack shoots an informant for a big trial coming up to get over good with a terrorist, my jaw dropped.
"You know, George," Keifer Sutherland said onscreen, examining the body, "you're just the kind of guy who doesn't like getting his hands dirty...
"Now, I'm going to need a hacksaw," he finishes, staring at the corpse's neck.
I love this show...

Verbal exchange of the day:
Jen, our stock girl, said something sarcastically at the store today.
ME: "Wow. Jen's becoming quite the sarcastic girl today."
TERRY: "Well, a healthy amount of sarcasm each day tends to make your bones strong and healthy."
ME: "No, Terry, I'm pretty sure that's milk, not sarcasm."
TERRY: "Oh, right. I always get those two mixed up..."

Reading: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski; as well as Book Five of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan.
I also finished up Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden recently.
Listening to: My mix CD I made a few weeks back. Doris Day, Stevie Wonder, Steve Burns, WHAM, and a bunch more stuff...
