Superman wears Jack Bauer pajamas.

I've been thinking lately that maybe I should be more consistent in my blogging.
It's hard for me to understand why anyone why anyone would be interested in what is going on with my life, or in what I think, but...Here goes nothing.
I make no promises on how consistent I will be, but I will try to post at least once a week.

Lately I have become seriously addicted to the TV show "24" with Keifer Sutherland. It's a show about a federal agent named Jack Bauer who works for CTU (Counter Terrorist Unit) in L.A., and each season represents one day in his life, 24 hours, in real time, where he has to save the world, basically. A lot of my friends have been watching it for quite some time (I think it's in the 8th season right now) so last year, i decided to see what all the fuss was about. I rented the entire 1st season disc by disc from the video store up the street (I don't have cable, and even if I did, what are the chances of catching it all on re-runs?) and now I see why everyone is obsessed. It is SO intense, and it totally drags you in, so if you watch one episode, you need to watch the rest of the season, or at least the next episode, in hopes that it won't leave you on the edge of your seat. While watching the first season, my mom came into my room on about the 10th episode, and got completely dragged in. Well, since there are 24 episodes per season, and 4 episodes per disc, meaning 6 discs per season and $4 per disc up the street, meaning $24 to watch a season (coincidence...maybe), I have been hesitant to rent the next season (also it is pretty dang time consuming), so I was STOKED to find the entire second season at the library!! For free!! Of course, my mom and I watched it in about a week, and I have already put the third season on hold from the Library.
Well, the whole point of this blog was for me to rave about the Library, but I guess I ended up raving about 24 more. Anyway, as it turns out the Library is awesome.
They have all kinds of other shows, and every season of 24 so far.


...Not to mention some awesome books.
