Jeeves & Wooster, episode 1

Thanks to mswyrr.

( running commentary )

...and here's where my computer's power source quit on me again. Stupid thing.

I'll finish watching the first episode later. I'm behind on my music pirating.

random: I NEED HOUSE ICONS. Clever and funny ones.

Or, dude, CROSSOVER HOUSE ICONS! That would be awesome. What dialogue could you cross House with? Jossverse is tried and true, always good for a laugh. Then there's movies of course.

I still want to see an episode / read a fanfic where House meets John C.McGinley's doctor character on Scrubs. I've only seen about 12 episodes of Scrubs from scattered seasons, but his character is House's kindred soul. I'm telling' ya. They even have similar hair.

Randomness:

Brief discussion about religion with my semi-boss (a.k.a. wife of my boss, who writes my paychecks but whom I don't actually work under) this evening. Sprung from a discussion about Freud, now that I'm reading Civilization and Its Discontent for class. She asked me if I was religious and I said no, and then about two sentences later she asked me if I had a Jewish background in my family.

I found this very interesting, as it's never been asked of me before. Most people assume I'm Christian unless I tell them otherwise, and although you don't have to be of Hebrew descent to be Jewish, looking of Hebrew descent certainly plays into people's assumptions. I don't look Hebrew at all, being very Celtic and freckled, with a healthy dash of Saxon for flavoring.

All in all, very interesting.

Like a much smaller version of the conversation last year where one of the guys working in the campus cafeteria asked me what country I came from. I was like, "Uh... California?" He said he'd thought I was an exchange student, somewhere European. I just blinked at him in dumbfoundedness, thinking "From his perspective, that means my West Coast Standard American accent is very good... or very bad. Can you have a bad natural accent?"

TV and colors

The world of Veronica Mars is yellow and magenta and green. Which could be ugly, but ends up being bright and gorgeous to look at.

The world of House, M.D. is cyan, very cyan and white, with dabs of red and brown.

The new Doctor Who is a veritable rainbow, but also heavy with the magenta, yellow, and blue.


Damn, it's kinda sad that that's all I watch on tv these days. Three shows, and I've technically never even watched House on tv. (except The Daily Show, of course, which is red, white, and blue.)

From this site:

( 1 paragraph promo synopsis for the new House episode: )

Um... ( the part that confuses me, from a medical standpoint. )

I don't know any spoilers beyond the synopsis above, which only pertains to the upcoming episode. But I'm curious from a medical and canon standpoint.

I've got a pimple in my ear. Why oh WHY does my body want to punish me like this? What did I do?
