The Time Has Come

No, I haven't disappeared or gotten so stressed out with things that I ran off to the woods ... but I am done with college. All that remains are the graduation festivities this Friday night and Saturday morning! I turned in my last paper this morning, which (along with a quick two-minute presentation) doubled as my final final exam. After staying up late putting the finishing touches on the paper, taking three exams on Saturday, and studying for those exams on Friday, I am just about worn out.

Luckily, I have essentially nothing at all to do for the rest of the week! Huzzah!

I don't know if I mention this here very often, but I am a huge fan of Fox's 24. I also think this season is the best since the very first one, but that's not really where I'm going with this. Gina, Sarah, Katie, and I continue to faithfully watch the show every Monday night, especially since this season is non-stop every week. However, over the last few weeks, we've progressively noticed a pattern between the show and the Fox 21/27 10:00 News that immediately follows it: on alternating weeks, one of the shows' characters will make some sort of ridiculous phase, or one of the news' reporters will do something ridiculous.

Tonight turned out to be over-the-top. While 24 was pretty serious, we had such quality moments on the Fox News as a reporter actually asking on camera "how the heck do you break out of shackles?" to a mysterious silhouette being used as the identity of a house robber. Then, Fox 21/27 broke the earth-shattering story of a groundhog getting trapped under the hood of a car and chewing through the fuel line, only to later be fished out by some mechanics, do a dance, and run off into the nearby woods.

Police are still trying to find the hog in order to get it to pay damages to the car's owner. If you have any leads, please call somebody and tell them about it.

I tell you what, though, Waddell's still dreamy after all these years.

(I'm kidding, Gina. Put that down!)
