Six O’Clock Vintage

Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

Couch Potato

I have a confession to make to the world at large. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is an altruistic act of humility, rather I have to “fess up,” have to save face because jimi already leaked my secret to the world.

Jed just bought the 3rd season of 24 on DVD. Previously I had ridiculed my roomates for giving their entire lives to 24 (whenever a new season came out on DVD, cause none of us were ever available when it actually showed on television). Granted, it is a little over the top to spend 18 hours of one’s life (in the space of two days) watching a television action/drama, but if you’ve seen 24 you know how this is possible…

On Monday night I was sucked in. I sat dumbfounded in front of the tele for 5 hours watching CTU’s every move with rapt attention.

Consequently, Tuesday was one of the most productive days I’ve had in a long time as my guilt motivation kicked in to double-time…(“must redeem life…wasted time…destroyed neurons… but dang, that was a good show!”)
