More Observations of a 24 Junky

It's pretty convenient for Jack Bauer that all of the days that are used for seasons happen to be the ones when some terrorist is trying to blow up LA or kill the President. What if they used one of the days in between? Like the day before Season 2? At the beginning of Season 2, Jack Bauer is single, unemployed, no longer working at CTU (or shaving for that matter), and estranged from his daughter, with whom he he attempts to reestablish a relationship. Here's a brief synopsis of that season:

"My name is Jack Bauer...and today is the day before the longest day of my life."

7:00 a.m.: Asleep on couch.

8:00 a.m.: Still asleep on couch.

9:00 a.m.: Uses restroom, returns to couch. Sleeps.

. . .

12:00 p.m.: Wakes up, gets off couch. Scratches self.

1:00 p.m.: Sitting on floor eating Haagen Das and drinking a High Life.

2:00 p.m.: Sally Jesse.

3:00 p.m.: Maury.

4:00 p.m.: Take shower.

5:00 p.m.: Kill some guy hiding in closet.

6:00 p.m.: Taco Bell run.

7:00 p.m.: In car on way to Wal-Mart.

8:00 p.m.: Buying more flannel.

Hell, you get the idea...
