what i've been watching

* I just finished watching Season 5 of "24." HANDS DOWN, Jack Bauer wins for coolest and most bad-ass male TV character. Sydney Bristow takes the cake for the females. 

* The other day I watched an episode of the short-lived 90's sitcom "Significant Others." The main characters are confused 20-somethings a couple of years out of college. The dialogue hit a little too close to home in a scene where one of the characters asks another "when it started to count." I don't remember exactly, but he said something about when you're a little younger nothing seems to count. You take a summer trip to a place you don't totally love, you just go somewhere else next summer. You have a job you don't totally love, you just do something else. You date someone and you don't want to be together anymore so you just break up. It's all chalked up as good experience and doesn't really matter. You're free to try anything and everything without fear of consequences, because nothing really counts anyway. Then eventually, if you bounce from place to place, job to job, boyfriend to boyfriend, etc you just look immature and irresponsible. You wake up one day and suddenly it all counts. That's a scary moment.

* "The Wonder Years" is on as part of the late night line-up of some nominal non cable tv channel right now. I haven't seen this show in a REALLY long time, and I totally forgot how great it is.
