It took two days, fairly constant, dedicated days of reading, to chop my RSS reader down to just a few dozen items. But I also waded through all of my Email, too, so it has been a productive two days, I suppose.
We made cheeseburgers tonight. Brian came over to watch the series finale of 24 with us. He turned us onto the show at the start of the fifth season. Somehow we managed to watch all of the back episodes between DVDs and syndication since then — and now all of those Nina jokes make sense! — and have always enjoyed making fun of it with Brian. We realized this evening that we’d never had a 24 watch party with him, so this was fitting.
And the finale was good for what it was. It did the jobs it needed to. It had a few minutes to satiate the anger-management crowd, it wrapped up what turned out to be a good plot for the season and gave Jack an opportunity at redemption (even as they did the Dark Knight ending) it had a few howlers. It wasn’t excellent great, but the endings for this show have always been awkward.
I’m certain that if a movie weren’t in the works the last 30 minutes of the show would have been entirely different. Seems I’m not the only one. So now we wait for the movie.
Nothing else to wait for here. I’ll be editing honeymoon pictures starting tomorrow. I wonder how long that will take.
