Not having an internet connection at home means that you get to appreciate the important things in life, such as television. I’ve become hooked on 24 over the last couple of months, and I thought that last night was going to be the last episode, but fortunately it wasn’t. I just figured that once they found the override and saved the world (go Edgar, go Edgar) that would be it, but wait, there’s more! Don’t any of you spoil it for me by telling me what happens - I will NOT be impressed.

I came to the conclusion last night that the reason for my sore back was my fall down the stairs a week and a half ago. I can’t think of what else would have caused it, and I did fall quite hard. It appears that the more than adequate padding I have on my bottom was not enough to cushion me. But think how much worse it could have been if I were actually skinny! See, it pays to eat chocolate.
