I interrupt all this House talk to say "Woot!!" I am a car owner again! Got the plates and everything, and it's all done but to put them on (and then get two inspections and await the lovely excise tax bill, but, hey! - car owner again).

And the sun's trying to come out now. So far, not a bad day.

Also on House Tritter is using police intimidation tactics and needs to be serious reprimanded. I do hope they wrap this up soon. Am I the only one who wonders what happend to the guy who shot House and then disappeared?

House: Yeah, the cop is seriously pissing me off. Even with the possible evidence that House might be trafficking, a lot of the things he's doing seem way too shady. Sure, it might be minor trafficking, but it seems way too much like the guy's personal vendetta. Earlier in this arc, I was thinking of him as a "House" of crime, what with the deliberate use of the "everybody lies," but I don't see House holding this kind of grudge against a "patient." I'm still hoping that he's got a nasty inexplicable crotch rot and House will be the only one to save him.

Chase: Was I overanalyzing, or was he very much the heir apparent in this episode? The sudden lightbulb moment, even the jeans-sneakers-jacket look? He's got enough of the right attitude to become House's mini-me, and I wonder if he'll be spearheading the team de facto if House goes into rehab.

Hooray for the FrankenCar!

Thanks! *waves at Nora* It's a 2002 Subaru Impreza/Outback with only 60K. I've decided it should be called THE TARDIS because it feels so much bigger inside than it looks from the outside.

Make your own gum: [link]

Celery gum! Olive gum!

"Now that you've chosen me to lead you, I would like to broaden our platform to do stuff Jesus actually told us to do."

"No."

Keith Olbermann was really funny about this last night. "We're not going to do that because then people might think that we actually READ THE BIBLE!!"

Jesse, totally agreed on what "comes naturally," not much of it does! I bought it for her, though, that she'd never thought of it before. I think most things come, if not naturally, then very easily for her. I think she thought it would be the same with children, especially based on what she saw around her. It's not just that what House said hurt her, but that it cast doubt on her potential mothering abilities at a time she was also doubting her skills as a doctor, again because of House. She's conflating the two and when she's calmed down, will probably go kick House's ass all around the hospital. If he's still there.

I almost expected Cuddy to be the one to turn House in, if for nothing else but to protect her hospital.

Chase all of a sudden has a backbone and willpower. Foreman respects House, Cameron wants to bed House, but Chase actually trusts House. And he obviously convinced House that he, Chase, was right.
