I think a lot of my frustrations come from how I started listening, I didn't really have to wait to find out what was happening next because I was behind and finally caught up by the season 2 finally. That being said, typically at the end of each chapter I would have a feeling of satisfaction, but i wasn't able to get this one, so I have to stand by my original opinion. I tried listening to 25-1, 25-2, and 25-3 all together but I still didn't get a warm and fuzzy about it.
Ah, yeah. That'll happen. I didn't come in till around chapter 8 or 9. So I was able to listen to the whole first 8 chapters without pause. After that it was difficult waiting for each new episodes, harder to wait for each new chapter, and even harder still to wait for each new season to begin. You'll get used to it though. A great way to pass the time between is to listen to We're Not Dead. That or begin anew and start listening at the beginning all over again.

Getting back to 25-3 I am starting to think over this whole Michael-is-getting-over-stressed thing. It seemed trivial that he would forget he was the one who had Jambalaya, but when you look at how it was mentioned in two chapters (25-1 he states what he is eating, 25-2 he specifically asks who ate the jambalaya) it seems like it is a note worthy point. I've listened to chapter 25 three or four times now but forgot to take notice if Michael slept. Has he had much sleep at all lately? Remember in chapter 3 he crashed out for a full 24 hours? Maybe Mikey needs to recharge his batteries.
