The real-time "can ita get through the fire-induced traffic fuck-ups?" reality show is oddly compelling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, now I'm standing still on Las Virgenes. Now's a good time to think of my past Voltaire tagline. It's much more scenic than the 101. But I think all these cars want to turn on Mulhollhand. Let me get on the hard shoulder.

Uhg. That sucks.
Now we just need someone overseas to start giving you traffic reports and alternate routes for it to be a one of those ridiculous internet experiences.

I'm something 1400 posts behind, so skipped like a skippy thing, so please accept my apologies if there was a huge discussion already about yesterday's House episode. I missed the end of the episode. Could someone fill me in about what happens after it is announced that the handyman's small finger on his second hand is going dusky ? Thanks much!

There's this stupid ad on tv for a lawfirm. The talking head (I presume one of the partners) is so wooden. I swear, only his mouth moves. And he's so nasal and awkward sounding, I can't see how this drums up business. He isn't bad looking, which makes me wonder if that was why they used him. It's like an anti-hire-us ad.
The other firm that adverts around here, while their ads are TOTALLY calling to the ambulance-chasing stereotype (they even have flashing lights and an AMBULANCE,) are much less offputting.
Why do I even care?

I love that ita can post from her traffic jam.

libkitty, I may be missing the high points, but they suspect mysterious p-thing bacteria is in his heart, pumping it about. It's some sort of bird born bug. Turns out Alfredo is moonlighting at cockfights, hence the scars on his hands. None of the family tells this, they deduce. Or something. They treat, he gets better. Yay! No more amputations.Cuddy is all sad. House gives her backhanded pep talk.
