Unfortunately, I do not do well on caffeine. I'd wake up jumpy and twitchy with no attention span. What I need is for the rest of the world not to demand my presence before noon.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

I know what I want for Cephalopodmas: Avenging Unicorn Play Set
By far one of my favorite new items is their “Avenging Unicorn Play Set” which comes with 4 intercangable horns that can be used to impale a mime, a new age/hippie girl and a businessman. I noticed on Flickr that Brian Walsh recently came across an Avenging Unicorn Play Set as well at a store in Oregon.
Everyone wants an imaginary unicorn friend that they can call forth to smite their enemies. The Avenging Unicorn Play Set has everything you need to use the power of the unicorn to rid your life of irritations. Put the posable, 3-3/4” tall, hard vinyl unicorn on a flat surface and then impale one of three 3-1/8” tall, soft vinyl figures included (businessman/boss, new age lady and mime). Also includes four interchangeable horns (classic spiral, chrome, glow and pearlescent).
Also, “Good vs. Evil Unicorns Play Set” and “Cold War Unicorns Play Set”
The Cold War Unicorns Play Set allows you to play out the intense struggle between two global superpowers in the majestic fantasy world of the Unicorn! Can the Communist Unicorn’s horn of classless social structure hold up against the Freedom Unicorn’s hooves of capitalist opportunity? Each hard vinyl unicorn is 3-3/4" tall with articulated joints for all sorts of dramatic poses.

House: Hubby wanted to know where Tritter got the warrant to see the pharmacy book--plus, how badly does Tritter seeing that violate the Privacy Laws re: medical records? I can't even know which drugs Hubby gets from our pharmacy, and I'm the one who goes and get them refilled! They know me by name!
There ought to be a kick-ass crossover with a lawyer show or something, that's the only thing that would make this whole arc worthwhile. This thing just screams for a good defense lawyer show.

House: Are there any shows set in New Jersey? I suppose a NY lawyer would do. I'm half-expecting Stacy to show up, but I don't think she's a trial lawyer.

House: What everyone else has said about Tritter. Connie, I'm with you.
They have mentioned histiocytosis before as a possible diagnosis for other patients, but this is the first time it has been THE diagnosis. Once again I thank my lucky stars that K-Bug's doctors caught it early in her and that she never had any brain involvement.

Dear Friday Night Lights,
I'd love to discuss your latest episode, I really would. But unfortunately I am currently too busy having incredibly dirty thoughts about Tim Riggins in drag. Keep being awesome, little show!
love,
shrift

Suzi, something similar happened to my friend. The day after the episode where House said "it's never lupus!", my friend was actually diagnosed with lupus. I cracked up when lupus was namedropped this last episode.

Chicago Tribune theater review of The Moscow Cats Theatre: [link]
Spry as they may be, it's not as though the cats do so incredibly much here -- they sit in remote-controlled vehicles, climb ropes, float nonchalantly across the stage in various cat houses -- but the fact that they are doing anything at all brings a smile to your face. And the great thing about a cat circus -- as opposed to, say, dogs or dolphins -- is that the haughty felines can do any and all tricks without losing a shred of personal dignity.
Watch a Flipper or a Fido turn eager cartwheels and you get this nagging sense of exploitation. Cats, though, seem to do what they do purely for their own benefit. And if they're taking you for $50 or more as you watch that cat do that paw-stand (because that cat wants to do that paw-stand), so much the better for them. You'd swear this clever four-legged crew has a collective grin behind its whiskers.

Aillean, it is what actually got me watching House in the first place. I was watching with my mom and she has picked the show when they name checked histiocytosis. And I was nodding my head at all their reasons for suspecting it. Now they just need to have a case involving teathered cord syndrome, either from a lipoma or a thickened filum terminale (what my son had).
