the max

Hostage looks good, even with Willis in it. Kevin Pollack will probably sleepwalk through it and have a good enough performance to justify me seeing it. I also want to see coach carter for some reason.

They don't want to occupy these countries, they want America to bomb them and start a war so that the price of oil goes up, thus making the heads of the oil companies several billion dollars. Saunders told him to detonate at a mall, in an open place. Rabens was on the run from Jack and Chase and the first place that he was able to seek refuge was the middle school. Also, Rabens didn't attach the device to Chase's hand, Chase did it himself so that Rabens couldn't run off with it. You can tell because when Rabens dies, he was aiming his gun at Chase's wrist in an effort to shoot the cuff off. As for the end of the season, it rationalizes like this: Jack's family was in danger in season one, but every time that he went to their aide, it had to do with Palmer. For instance, the main theme of the first half of the season was that Gaines had Kim and Teri at his compound. Well, Jack had already been tapped by Gaines as a helping hand to get the gun into Jonathan's (the assassin at the breakfast) hands. So Jack knows that Gaines -1- Has his family as hostages and -2- Is behind the hit on Palmer in some capacity. Therefore, once Jack escaped SS custody, he went after Gaines for personal AND professional reasons. Not only does he get his family back, but he accomplishes his mission (at that time); Find the person/people behind the assassination of David Palmer and stop it from happening. As for what Tony did, Tony knew that Saunders wasn't fucking around as Saunders had already released the virus in the hotel. Tony acted selfishly because of the circumstances that had already happened between he and Michelle that day (Tony is shot in the neck, Michelle is potentially exposed to the virus.) Tony's knowledge of the situation is also that Saunders's daughter is the only leverage that CTU has on him, but he still sacrifices that in more ways than one (more on that in a sec) and potentially puts the lives of millions of innocents to save ONE person. Plus, not only did Tony knowingly contact and assist Saunders (by pulling Baker and his team away from the NE entrance of Saunders's apartment) but he also scrambled the voice on his phone call with him in an effort to slow Chloe down. In essence, Tony's moves are entirely assailable because not only did he knowingly assist a bioterrorist, but he had no contingency plan as to cover CTU's ass should Saunders have gotten away. So, the cases are the same in one key way. How each agent reacted with his loved ones under the gun. Jack reacted in a vengeful way. Tony panicked.

Max is coming up on his three year anniversary.

The NESN one is pretty good, although once it gets past the ALCS, it's basically the mlb released one. I haven't watched Still We Believe yet. I'm actually looking forward to it though.

The members of my family that used to get me gift cards/certificates have now moved onto not getting me anything at all. My final haul: 24: Season 3 Red Sox Movie from 2003 (before the 2004 season...I think it's called "Still We Believe") NESN 2004 Red Sox season in review 2004 World Series dvd Return of the King: Extended Edition Red Sox hoodie Red Sox collared shirt new robe Beaker shirt Florida Panthers "Old-Time Hockey" hoodie Faithful (a book written by Stephen King and some other guy as a sort of diary about...who else: The Boston Red Sox) The Far Side desk planner/calendar A nice picture frame from my gal with her picture in it America: The Book And I think that's it. Quite a nice xmas for me.

How warm is it over there by Ft. Meyers/Naples? I'm still in disbelief that South Florida (or at least Miami) is the only part of the country where we can actually go out in shorts and a tanktop for christmas. It's seriously that warm over here. It wasn't even this bad in California, where the temperatures are around the 50's right now. Yesterday was in the 50's before it started raining. I had to go out to my gal's car in the middle of the rain and it felt like ice water, so I think it got colder than 50. I was kind of cold all day.

If we had a white christmas, I think everyone would know about it.

24: Season 3 Red Sox Movie from 2003 (before the 2004 season) NESN 2004 Red Sox season in review Return of the King: Extended Edition Red Sox hoodie Red Sox collared shirt clothes Last night, I spent time at my aunt's house, got a dvd that I already have and then left. I went to my girlfriend's family's party which was nice. We came home and played PS2 for a few hours after that and fell asleep watching E!.

King of Queens: B+ for the newer seasons, A for the first three. Two and a Half Men: B 24 (sure, it hasn't started yet, but still...it's 24): probably an A G4/TechTV programming (Judgment Day, Filter, etc.): fluctuates between a C+ and a B-.

Not a good read at all. It's a 16 year old trying to sound smart and intelligent.

Like the signing of Miller. Good work by Theo.

He was supposed to be the next great actor, but he went AWOL after they broke up so he kind of did it to himself in a way...

Once the shit hit the fan with Julia Roberts ditching him for his best friend, it kind of tapered off. He actually took off from Hollywood and stuff and went to be a cowboy for a few years. That pretty much killed those "Kiefer is the next great actor" thoughts by everyone.

When I was 9, my mom just flat out told me. I didn't really care. I figured it out when I was like, six.

A hoodie with a tie would be pretty classy looking.

It was when he was the Euro champ and then the title got baleeted so instead of the title being "European Champion" it be "Jeff Hardy".

It's one game. Checkmate.

I think the thing with Wells was that he's produced in the playoffs and gives them a veteran lefty (which they haven't had since...uhm....)

The ONLY times that Jack put Palmer in danger in season 1 was because he wanted to protect his family: Incident 1: Breakfast at the Plant, where Jack doesn't put a bullet in the assassin's head because he was forced into helping him smuggle a weapon into the plant and get it in the hands of the assassin. He ends up saving Palmer by reaching for the black agent's gun. Incident 2: Jack is sent by the Drazens to Palmer's hotel with the only objective being that Palmer answer a call on a specific phone that had been given to Jack by the Drazens. Turns out that this phone is rigged with a bomb, which Jack tosses out the window at the last second, saving Palmer's life and eventually convincing him to fake his death to save Kim. That's it for season 1. I don't believe that they saw each other in person in season 2, but Jack saved Palmer's presidency by getting Kingsley to confess to forging the Cyprus recording. Palmer's only saved Jack's life once, during the Nina-Jack hostage situation in season 2 by sending a sharpshooter to knock Nina out of commission and that was after pardoning Nina for killing Jack (in advance) in exchange for information to deliver Syed Ali.

Re: Kiefer Sutherland Kiefer has settled into 24 and while he still does movies, he focuses more on 24. # The Wild (2006) (pre-production) # River Queen (2005) (filming) # Jiminy Glick in La La Wood (2004) # Taking Lives (2004) .... Hart # The Land Before Time X: The Great Longneck Migration (2003) (V) (voice) .... Bron # Paradise Found (2003) .... Paul Gauguin # Phone Booth (2002) .... The Caller That's what he has since Phone Booth.

Are you going to miss Alou?

Phew.

None of you freaks are allowed near my house.

Honestly, I'm betting that the ALCS gets lumped into one slot on the list.
