24: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

I wasn’t looking forward to writing this entry because I wasn’t really impressed with this episode. In fact, overall I’m not at all impressed with this season and I can’t quite put my finger on why. Theoretically this should be one of the best seasons because we’re digging into Jack’s family life more than ever, but it seems so wrong, I just can’t get into it. My favorite episode so far was when Jack went after the terrorist on the train.

And something isn’t right with CTU either. It’s pretty stiff and boring so far. I want, no, I need, a mole and I need it soon! Sure it’s cliche, but who cares? I think we’ll have one when the person to reprogram the nukes is introduced. Joe seems to think it’s Morris. Wouldn’t that be something?

And what was with that shit at the detention center? How does that guy get beat when FBI was supposedly keeping an eye on him? Total bull.

I’m just not feeling this season at all and it’s starting to bug me. I hope things improve soon. It’s still a great show, but it’s not living up to Season 5 in my eyes.

USB cord lengths

The thing I find interesting about USB devices is that more often than not, the cord is not long enough. Why is this? Joe bought me a USB vacuum for my computer for Christmas and the cord was so unbelievably short, we had to plug it into his laptop so I could clean my keyboard, and my keyboard is wireless! But the cord would barely reach around my tower so I couldn’t hold the keyboard near the tower to use the vacuum. Retarded.

Then I bought this USB hub. It works fine, except the cord is so short that it barely reaches from the back of the tower to halfway to the front, so it has to sit on top of the tower instead of my desk like I wanted. I just don’t get why the design is so flawed. Someone please give me a logical reason for this because it doesn’t make sense to me.
