Jack Bauer and Curtis Manning in 24: The Unseen Minutes
...as NEVER seen on 24 - Season Four.

A tribute to my favorite characters from the show.

The following takes place between 6:22 am and 6:26 am… approximately.

Jack Bauer and Curtis Manning are in an suv and on their way back to CTU, after thwarting an attempted nuclear missile attack on the city...

Jack: My life’s a freaking greek tragedy!
Curtis: What?
Jack: Oedipus Rex, or some crap like that.
Curtis: You do realize that Oedipus married his mother, right, Jack?
Jack: What?
Curtis: He totally killed his father and married his mother.
Jack: He did that on purpose?
Curtis: Well, not exactly…
Jack: ???
Curtis: It was all down to some weird circumstances, fate and all that.
Jack: So, he had no control over it, bad stuff just kept happening to him?
Curtis: Um… kind of.
Jack: Yeah, like I said, just like my life… a freaking greek tragedy.
Curtis: You know, at least your ex-girlfriend isn’t a treacherous, money grubbing, psycho.
Jack: Curtis, did you even watch seasons one through three?
Curtis: Sigh!

Meet Nora, the famous feline pianist...

The first annual Web-meme awards have proved that krayzee kats and puppycams rule and are among the absolute favorite videos on the web and taking top awards at the 2008 Urlies.

Could be, I’m proud of what we have achieved in this world, but there are too many questions remaining about what we do with those achievements…

Whenever we take great pains to make something (especially when putting in a lot of love, time and attention), by overlooking just one element, all that work can go for naught.  Time, effort, wasted in the blink of an eye.

I remember the time that my friend, Amanda, made a clay rhino in an art class we were taking, a few years back.  She put a lot of effort into getting the anatomical details absolutely right.  It was a fantastic study, a beautiful piece of work, which then exploded in the kiln.  It blew up because of an air bubble somewhere in the torso. 

Although my jacked-up looking elephant escaped relatively unscathed, I think I felt just as disappointed as Amanda did, as we watched our tutor retrieve the shattered remains of all her hard work from different areas of the kiln.

The tutor made it clear to the class, after the fact, that we should be careful of trapping air pockets while sculpting our pieces and then we where taught how to avoid them. 

It’s a shame that we weren’t made aware of this tidbit of information before my friend’s rhino met with disaster.
