wtb president palmer cameo

does anyone else feel a little tingle when allstate commercials are slated for the breaks during 24?

i'm really looking forward to seeing how jack and renee get out of a squad full of police officers. i wonder if the next two episodes are tony highlights, with kiefer just repeating to himself, "i ain't nobody's b--" in the corner of his jail cell. all in all i am enjoying the seventh season. something about how they are still breaking all sorts of laws to get the job done, but at least all of the characters are trying to address this issue. agent walker w/the blood on her face and fingers in the mirror was great. makes me wonder what is going to be _too far_?

highlights from this episode: agent pierce showing up. he's one of my favorite characters. i think that he brings a lot of history and awesomeness. i think he ranks like #5 in most episodes and still alive.

technology win of the episode: the psychadelic hacker usb stick. not only do you attach to some random xsession but also seemingly gives them escalated privs over their processes to inject stuff/DoS them. i just bought some 4gb sticks at best buy today, i'll let you know when i get it all worked out.

OMG SEE TAKEN. (ps. yes i'm back)

sorry for the time off everyone that reads. (i know no one reads this, it's okay.)

i just had to say, i made one of the best calls today. when i first saw the trailers for this movie, i thought to myself, "it's quigon jin! killing french people! sweet!" but then after further investigation (thanks imdb. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0936501/) this movie had even more going for it: written by luc besson, who also wrote all of the transporter movies, directed by pierre morel, who did the jason statham + jet li flick, WAR and the transporter as well.

suffice it to say, this is _the_ action movie of right now. if you want to have a good time, go see this movie. "and apologize to your wife for me for shooting her."
