I just discovered yesterday that the disneyfordogs cemetery we frequent is a haven for all manner of snakes. Um. Really? Just something I didn't want to know. We may need to permanently avoid the river side of the place. I'm not snake-o-phobic or anything. I've enjoyed the few I've held over the years...but in an uncontrolled environment were the fuzzball might be in danger? nononono.

Yeah. In general they won't do anything, but with fuzzballs there's no control over how the fuzzball reacts. I saw what seemed to be a common garden snake while walking my dogs, and while I would have been fine, there's no way to know if Oz or Max, specially Oz, would have attacked, and then I have a dog with a snakebite which I have to take to the vet.

I just rushed all the way through Natter to talk about House.

I divert to give ~ma and birdies of the hippo variety to them that need it.

Also, I have window clings, one from the 100th anniversary convention of my sorority, a school alumni one, and Strongbad and The Cheat from Homestar Runner. I've been mulling getting a license wrap thing from Cafepress that says "I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Now then... House: Can someone with spicier brains than me explain why I hated tonight's House? The Old Man And The Cameron stuff was meh, but the girl was pissing. me. off. Can't put my finger on why. I kept waiting for her to have a big reveal... parent rape? House's illegitimate daughter? WhyTF are you here?!? She was just Plot Ex Machina through the entire thing. And why the hell does House have to be a child abuse victim?!? Why can't he just be a damn misanthrope because he is!!! I think smart people know that, heaven help them all, sometimes people just suck. House is pretty smart. Why can't he just be freaking jaded???

In conclusion, wtf.

I loved the coffee pics. I might see if I can buy one for my new kitchen, which will be red, so that works out with the red cup. I will not, however, buy this one as I think it looks more like penis and less like coffee. or is it just me?

Drown the mouse in the trap. It's a quick way to end the suffering.

I once tried to save a mouse from a gluetrap, put it in the car, drove to a friend's house, and realized that the trap was stuck to the passenger side door because it slid across the seat when i was taking a turn.

Oh man. House is now dead to me.

I confess I didn't see this ep, but I'm so incredibly sick of that trope. If anyone with that experience has a pass to become a misanthrope or an ax murderer, etc. etc... then where do I sign up for my excuse slip? Sheesh.

Yeah, House blew chunks. It was cheap.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Enough so that I should skip watching it?
