Scott and I watched 24: Redemption last night… on television, with commercials. Yes, we were so desperate to see the season opener of 24 that we plugged in our cable for the first time in 6 years. I didn’t know our cable was hooked up and ready to go, actually. It’s included in our condo association fees.

Scott had to pull a simple cord out of the closet. We hooked up the TV which is normally reserved for playing video games. I made popcorn and we laid in bed to watch. It was surreal.

The worst part (other than the classic 24 torture scenes) was the commercials. Scott figured out after a couple of commercial breaks that we could hit the mute button, which helped a little. The flashy parts were what got me… lots of singing and dancing.

And what is UP with the commercial for the divorce lawyer? The one where the couple is arguing, and then they see an ad for this divorce attorney on their TV, and then they both spring up and grab the phone. Wow. Note to readers who might not know me very well, I do advertising research for a living. Oye.
