Congratulations to everybody involved in the Huygen's Probe landing on Titan. Details Here. I am, and always have been, a huge space geek and I find this kind of thing inspiring. Alphonso Diaz, a NASA somebody, said that "There will only be one first successful landing on Titan, and this was it,". While I hope that is not true perputally, I believe it may be the case in my lifetime.
I came to an astounding realization this morning, while typing up an email for my MBA class, that I no longer write stuff. My spelling has got so bad (partly because I have got lazy over the years and rely on spell checkers way too much) that the best I can hope for is to suggest to Word what words to use and leave the decision up to it!

Ok, its not quite that bad - the thoughts are still mine and I ultimately have command over the words that are used. At least I think I do.

HUNGER
I can taste you on my lips
Feel you on my hands
Smell you on my clothes
When I look in the mirror
You are always walking away
Sensual, beautiful, elegant
My body pulses to your heartbeat
My breath caught short by your presence
I am haunted by you
Shadowed, taut and distant
I can feel you deep inside me
I can feel myself deep inside you
We are one and yet seperate
We are two and yet joined

Its amazing what a piece of music that you haven't heard for a long time can do.

Jack Bauer: What a man!
WARNING: SEASON OPENER SPOILERS - IF YOU TIVO'ED DON"T READ

Within two hours he has successfully identified a terrorist suspect hiding in a dry cleaners from a cameraphone*, his girlfriend and her Dad have been kidnapped, he has illegally tortured a terrorist suspect by shooting him in the leg with a gub he stole from a CTU security guard the he knocked out, his partner of maybe twenty minutes has been shot and as we speak, he is pursuing another terrorist suspect who has kidnapped the witness that Jack was supposed to protect.
(* No, he wasn't hiding FROM the cameraphone, Jack used the cameraphone to find him )

Say what you like about Jack but don't, DO NOT, have ANY kind of relationship with him! Can't wait for the second part tomorrow night.

Its going to be a great spring season for TV - 24 (if I was a woman, I would be hot for Kiefer), Alias (rawr), Battlestar Galatica (its hokey but I actually thought the opener was good), Depserate Housewives (guilty pleasure), Boston Legal (I wanted to be James Spader every since Secretary) and Carnivale on HBO. And that's just the returning stuff. I made have to get a bigger harddrive for my Tivo, especially now that a lot of the stuff is in HD. By the way, does anybody know why Fox doesn't transmit in HD on DirectTV when ABC and CBS do? Its really frickin' annoying! There's a reason I have satellite - I can't get terrestrial signals where we live.

UPDATE:
(From the Directv press release)
The Fox HD programming, from WNYW in New York and KTTV in Los Angeles, will be available to eligible DIRECTV customers in markets where Fox owns and operates stations
SF has a Fox station but its an affliate not owned by Fox.
