hopelessly devoted to deconstructing popular culture and conventional wisdom, one blog at a time

LIFE IMITATES 24: OK, if you're not freaked out at least a little by this, then, well...so far this week, we've seen a nuclear plant shut down over leaks in Michigan (relevant from this week's episode of 24) and then a guy purposely puts his truck in the way of a train to cause a fatal wreck in California (see the season debut). What's next? A rash of girlfriends die from poisoned tea? Good thing I didn't follow through with that crush I had on an Iranian girl from a previous job. Not that I'd poison her, mind you. I can handle rejection. I don't know what I meant by that. It seemed relevant at the time I typed it. Oh, never mind. Back to relevant blogging... This season is still mind-blogglingly crazy, but not so crazy to keep me from watching every digitized minute of it. Aisha Tyler is a baddy? We could've suspected she was up to no good, but to think she's up to anti-good? Whoa. Not Keanu whoa, nor even Joey Lawrence whoa, but still...whoa!
