Watching House.
Does anyone know what campus they use for the aerial shots of the hospital?

Princeton
eta: Yep, it is Princeton
Yes Erika, there must be video up soon.
It really is Princeton, huh? Not someplace in Canada or NC? That's interesting.
I thought it was Princeton, but I didn't recognize it from the air.
Oo, I haven't seen this one! With Hannah and the sleeping pills.
If anyone feels like giving advice, this is cross-posted with my LJ:
So, I'm looking for some opinions/advice. My BIL has two daughters (almost 3 and almost 7). They are our only nieces. Their birthdays are two days apart the first week in Jan. I *always* send them two presents (one for their birthday and one for Christmas) each. I do it because I like them and I like buying them presents. However, I have no ever once received a thank you note. (I don't blame the girls for this. How would they know?) Last year, Ellie received a very late Christmas present and no birthday present. I was a bit hurt since I've spent a lot of money on my nieces over the years. More than money, though, I love them and I liked buying stuff for them. I still love them but it's hard not to feel taken advantage of. (This is a common theme.) So, what do I do this year? Send nothing? Send presents anyway because it's the nice thing to do? Send presents for Christmas but not birthdays? Am I being petty? Am I punishing the daughters for their parents' failings? Should I just spend the money on presents for Ellie? I feel like I want to *do* something, but if I say anything, I'll sound greedy or petty. Suggestions?
Stephanie, I say, send very nice presents to the girls this time, and thank the parents sweetly for the gifts they sent Ellie. It may take some time if they're particularly thick-skinned, but eventually the guilt will set in.
Of course, there may be some extenuating circumstances for their lateness and oversight, and this might be the best they could do. In which case, by being sweet, you'll never have to feel guilty, yourself, for being mean when they were (possibly) going through something tough.
Stephanie, I wouldn't let the parents' failings ruin the fun of being a great aunt. Don't do more than you are comfortable with, but give the girls what you like giving.
I think Laura is right.
