My two little monkeys fell asleep on the couch last night right after dinner. How sweet do they look? I woke them up to put them into their pjs and, as if miracles don't happen...they fell right back asleep! For the first time in a very, very long time, I was able to actually watch 24 live. {well, I waited a half hour so I could then fast forward through the commercials}
Last night as Jack was jumping out of the helicopter, it hit me... the guy looks pretty damn good for someone who's been tortured, who has tortured + who's been running around non-stop. I think I'd be sweaty + I'm sure there would be some kind of blood or saliva on my shirt from where I bite the man's jugular to kill him... is it just me? I guess I would be a sloppy killer. Also, with all this running around, doesn't Jack ever get hungry? When does he pee? I guess because he never drinks or eats, he never has to pee... but wouldn't it be refreshing if while he was on the phone with Buchanan, Jack would say, "hang on, I can't go on, trust me, I have to pee."
Don't get me wrong, I'm still loving Jack + 24... but last night so many things were racing through my head. Like Morris... first, the man was driving around with the top down on his convertible. Ah, hello... a nuculear bomb just went off less than a hundred miles away. I have a convertible, and I've been known to drive with the roof down, heat blasting on a crisp Fall day... but honestly, I wouldn't go outside if a nuke went off, nevermind put down my roof and drive towards the scene to see my brother who's face is falling off because of radiation. Please. Second, poor Morris, he really got drilled last night, didn't he? {he he he} How he didn't pass out from the pain is incredible. He's not Jack. So I did expect him to just crumble. I kept thinking, if I were in Morris's shoes, I think I would have just let them kill me for the good of the country. Because you know that after you perform what they want you to do, they are just going to kill you anyway. There's no way out. Terrorists are not known for being nice + saying, "thank you, good job. Here's some cab money. Find yourself a hospital, you don't look well." Third, are there really people out there willingly to work with terrorists for money? Really? Seriously? Terrorists?
I know it sounds like I am not enjoying 24, but I really am. At this point you know you have to suspend any sense of reality and just go with it. And going with it, I am :)
OH, for those of you who like the magazine "Blueprint" from Martha Stewart – Word is, the next issue is due sometime in March. I have a subscription and so far I have only received two issues. {which is all they have printed} Last one was in September I thought we'd get a winter issue in Dec/Jan. Not sure what's going on with this magazine. I started to think they discontinued it. It's a well designed magazine and I really like the content. {actually more than "living"} but who knows what is going on. I feel like they discontinued "kids" in order to create this magazine. I absolutely loved, loved "kids" magazine and was so disppointed that they cancelled it. Does anyone know why they did?
Well, I have cuppie cakes to make for school tomorrow. {if there is any school – we'll have to wait + see, we're expecting a nor'easter here in Boston} Also, we need to finish up our Valentine's cards. I'll post some stuff later on! Happy Tuesday!
