Two Degrees of Separation

...between me and Jack Bauer. Yeah, that's right.

24 started again this week and we've been glued to the double episodes last night and this evening. I only just found out that Shaun Majumder - yes, he of CBC Radio and This Hour Has 22 Minutes - has a guest-starring role on tonight's episodes, as a terrorist nuclear-weapons specialist.

I actually went to university with Shaun. He was a seriously funny guy back then, too - always liked him (how can anyone not like a Pakistani Newfoundlander?!). Last time I saw him, it was 1994 and he was singing karaoke ("Bust a Move", if I remember correctly) in the college bar. And now here he is tonight, kicking literal and figurative televisual ass with Jack Bauer. Awesome!
