I started watching 24 this season, at the recommendation of my brother (and others). The new season takes place three years after the last one, and I can follow it without having seen the previous two. It’s good. So good that I signed up for a 14 day Netflix trial, and was planning to get the first two seasons there, and watch them.

Turns out a friend of mine actually owns the first two seasons on DVD, so I’ll be borrowing those instead. I did get the first three discs from Netflix on Friday. Friday night, I watched the first disc (4 episodes) and today, I watched the next two (8 episodes). I’m halfway done with the first season, and it’s really good.

I’ve changed my Netflix queue to send me the first season of Smallville instead, since I haven’t seen it. I doubt I’ll keep the Netflix membership after the trial, because I just won’t spend that much time watching movies. Especially since I now have all my new computer equipment, and will be playing games again. I bought Call of Duty yesterday, and played it for a few hours today. It’s been a while, so it may be nothing special compared to other games out there now, but I like it a lot. I’m really glad I’ve finally gotten around to setting all this stuff up again. Now I just have to keep myself from spending too much money on games.

At bowling Wednesday night, I was bowling against someone who’s on my team in my Monday night league. I was doing alright, but not great, the first two games (172, 170). At the end of the second game, he gave me a tip: keep my hand behind the ball, and keep my thumb up. After the third game, he said he should have waited until Monday to tell me that, because I threw a 231 against him. I went bowling yesterday, and tried to keep doing the same thing. It seemed to help, because I threw a 215-247-207 for a 669 series. That could possibly be the highest three game series I’ve thrown, and if not, it’s certainly the highest I’ve thrown in a long time. Hopefully, I’ll keep it up tomorrow night.
