House was the opposite for me, tonight. My mother died of sepsis so it really hit a nerve. But I think I learned more from this episode than I learned from the doctors.
We'll be in our bunk.

And people name their apartments? Did I miss the explanation of why?
we used to name our apartments, but only because we got tired of saying "bob, mike, bill, and john's place" Usually we shortened it to the apartment number as opposed to an actual name, although there were exceptions.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sail, my dad died of sepsis, too! My mom liked the ep--it hasn't aired here yet.

I think when it comes to conditions that can sneak up on person, sepsis is probably the most common. The hospital didn't even realize what was happening with my mother until even antibiotics wouldn't help.

You know what I just realized? I don't have to whitefont! Hee. This is what happens when you keep switching from one TV thread to another, you forget where you have to and where you don't.

Because books.
Oh, Sail, I'm sorry! And Robin, too! My FiL had a close call with that a few years ago.
I was distracted during the episode, but I did like House's weirdness with Wilson/Cuddy and Wilson's ex and the dog.

Ha, even Wilson's ex knows the OTP is House-Wilson. House isn't interested in Cuddy, he doesn't want to lose Wilson to another wife.
Wilson and Cuddy at the sex art show was fun. "Is that a bicycle pump?"

What I liked about this episode was that they were looking so hard for something exotic and what it was, was actually rather basic and easily overlooked.
I think Foreman is going to be my new woobie. The SPN folks can have their not-so-happy little threesome. This is going to be just me and Eric.

You can have him Sail, because I just found myself Not Caring. I'm not quite sure why that is, but I've had such a lack of caring about the Ducklings this season. (Well, except for Chase, because I think he's my woobie for this show...) But this season has felt uneven for some reason, and I think I'm going to have to rewatch over the hiatus to get a better picture.
I liked House's comment about Wilson being compulsive about being on good terms with his exes. Are you maybe a little bitter there, Greg? Subtext, not so much with the sub.

Art Crawl!!!
GG: Over at TWOP lots of people are mentioning Oz (as in Wizard of) references. All I can think of are Lorelai riding her bicycle and Jackson destroying her dollhouse. Did any of you guys noticing anything of the sort?
