It's Tuesday!
Hurrah hurrah! Today is also Veteran's Day here in the states and that means I have to round up the VFW Color Guard and lead them around the hospital while they visit patients. Whee fun! My first media project. Hope I don't suck at it. When I took the job as webmaster, I never figured on having to deal with the media, or with marketing projects other than my own so this is kind of interesting to me. Plus it will be nice for the Vets and for our patients to have a nice, gentle reminder to honor those who've served our country.
Speaking of serving the country, it's 24 day! I hope I don't forget to pop the tape back in to record tonight. I will have to do very nasty things to myself if I miss taping an episode. I read somewhere that after last week when Fox re-broadcasted the premiere episode right before episode 2, that that would be the last time they repeat previous shows. So it's vital I record...
Anyway, I'll admit right here that I was a horrible person and I did not watch Season 1 and 2 when they were first shown. Why? What the hell was I thinking? Well to be honest, I have no idea. I remember first hearing that one of my fave actors would be starring in a TV show (Kiefer of course) and I remember thinking how cool and that I should be sure to watch. But for some reason, I just didn't. Then I heard from various people that the show is impossible to catch up on if you've missed episodes which was disheartening. So I ended up not watching. Then for the second season I think I'd forgotten all about it and was oblivious to the hype.
I could kick myself now though. I wish I'd watched from the start. But c'est la vie and thank Elvis for DVDs. I ended up renting the first disc of 24 from my local Blockbuster because there was fuck-all out movie-wise. So I figured I'd check it out and see if I liked it. Damn if I didn't watcht he first disc with my eyes glued to the screen and then head straight back to Blockbuster to rent the other five discs. I watched that show from start to finish in just under 24 hours. It was a bleary weekend to say the least but what a roller-coaster ride!! And to my eternal joy, Season 2 had just come out on DVD as well so you can guess what I did the following week. I couldn't watch it in a marathon viewing unfortunately, because of work etc, but I watched a disc every night, and holy cow the second season was just as fantastic. I cried, I gasped, I cringed. Jack saying goodbye to Kim on the plane absolutely gutted me.
Needless to say, I'm now the proud owner of seasons 1 & 2 on DVD. And I'll be first in line for Season 3 as well (why am I taping it then? Because I'm an impatient girl and I want to be able to re-watch the show right away.) I am finding it strange to have to sit through commercials though. I could definitely do without them. But for anyone thinking they'll just wait for the DVD to see it even though you love the show, you're missing out on the fun of anticipation waiting for next week's episode. I literally cannot wait to see how Jack deals with his problem, or how Kim gets into trouble this time. What is the info in Keeler's playbook about Anne? Will Sherry make an appearance? Or even Nina? I HAVE to know!!!
Argh :)
