My name is Chris and...

I'm a 24 addict.

I'm not much of a TV watcher, but I started watching "24" this past season. I didn't catch all the episodes, but I definitely got hooked. I've done a few 12th-Step work outings lately together with the same fellow AA buddy, and it turns out that he's a "24" nut. He has the first few seasons on DVD, and he's lending them to me (I let him borrow my Band of Brothers in return). I'm only about halfway through Season One so far, and I'm lovin' it! And, yeah, yeah, I know - everyone keeps telling me it gets even better after Season One...

So that's my super exciting plan for tonight - cook up a tasty pasta dish, and curl up for a few discs -- errr, I mean episodes, of course! -- of "24". Heck, I went for a nice long run this afternoon, so I don't feel too guilty about being "loungey" tonight.

Wishing you all a great start to the weekend!

EDIT: And for the Chuck Norris fans, here's a new flight suit patch offering (this'll make more sense after reading the post comments)...

Now playing: golden smog - another fine day

you are not alone my friend! I wasted an entire month of my life watching a bunch of seasons any second I wasn't busy with something else...then I wasted an entire day...close to 14 hrs watching the season that was running at the time so I could get caught up and watch it the way the rest of the world does...14 hrs of tv in one day is not something I will ever do again but it was for 24 so it was worth it :)

Thanks Jaime! I feel better knowing that I'm not the only closet 24 marathon watcher out there =)

And those Jack Bauer "-isms" are never not funny; I've seen many of them before, but they always make me laugh. Your list here definitely includes the better ones I've seen! I first saw these ala Chuck Norris - the "Jack or Chuck" debate has long been a source of sometimes rather heated discussions among military aviators for whatever reason.
