An Epic Struggle
Tonight I was amused to watch the continuing struggle between Vice President Noah "Dr. Doom" Daniels and President Wayne "Captain Idealistic Crusade Man" Palmer. I don't think I've ever laughed more times at an episode of 24. That last hour was chock full of great stuff. As it turns out, Tom Lennox is a good guy (I always liked him, even at the beginning when it seemed like he was a bad guy; usually that's as good sign for a 24 character), Jack Bauer came through with a couple more classic Bauerisms ("Show me your head..."*BANG*, "SHUT UP!" *Swift kick to Fayed's face*), and Captain Idealistic Crusade Man ORDERED A NUCLEAR (a.k.a. nucular) STRIKE! That was easily the best episode of the season so far. At first I was grumbling to myself about the typical back and forth struggle between Dr. Doom and CIC Man, in the usual fashion; CIC Man is a beacon of hope, truth, and justice for all mankind, offering love and compassion to our terrorist friends, while Dr. Doom acts as a nefarious antagonist bent on the destruction of the entire Middle East, motivated by selfish desires and warped delusions. Throw in a bit of "racism" (more accurately, religious profiling, or even more accurately, ALL EVIDENCE POINTED TO NADIA BEING A MOLE) from Mike Doyle, and it all adds up to big fun. At the happy end of the episode, Wanye "Neville Chamberlain" Palmer apparently had some sort of change of heart and launched a nuke towards the late Hamri Al-Assad's country. I daresay the political agenda of this season has been made painfully clear. Oh well, as they say, "Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream."
Boy, tab browsing is extremely, extremely convenient. All I have to do is press Ctrl+T and voila! A new tab appears!
Today I sat in classes acting effectively like a blob, albeit a blob capable of taking good notes. Well, my differential equations notes are somewhat lacking, but I was basically asleep in that class. I could not for the life of me keep my eyes open. Stupid Fourier series. Nobody likes you anyway.
All of this reminds me that I sat down here with some grandiose purpose in mind, but I seem to have forgotten what it was. This sure stinks. I don't even have anything truly inspired to say about ants. The other day I added a section to the Wikipedia article on ants about their sense of humor, but the administrators didn't find it very amusing, traced my IP, and sent me a stern reprimand that basically said other people didn't think it was funny. I think admins just have no sense of humor. Clearly they were never children; they were born fully grown and wearing plain black suits with their ties pulled too tight. Funny, that reminded me of another thing. It must sure stink to be a girl, because girls never get to wear ties. I mean, I guess at some point some girls wear ties, but that's just weird. In general, girls don't wear ties. Ties are much cooler than jewelry, I have to say, and usually significantly cheaper too.
Ummm...I don't know where I'm going with any of this.
The End
