A couple of housekeeping announcements...(HA, "HOUSE"KEEPING)

I've felt really...weird and guilty about all the House fannishness on this journal lately, because I know that most people are here from the HP fandom. I'm not leaving HP in any way, it's just -- House is really well-written and I get weekly installments of it, instead of one book every three years. *grins* It's so easy to be a TV fan.

But I'd like to keep this and Storyteller primarily personal-life and HP-oriented, so I'm swapping in a new journal for House fandom. HouseFic, House screencap and icon posts, and discussion posts will go there; the only thing you'll see here will be Sam's Three Things. HP is still the fandom I focus on, and LC is still my primary fic focus. I know it doesn't seem like it, but it's true. :D

Anyway, the House journal is [info]i_blues_joo, and there will be more information going up about it in a day or two. It's intended to be one part roleplay and one part discussion spot, so feel free to friend it or bookmark it or ignore it completely. I will not be linking to fic posted there from this journal.

So, I promised Juni I'd write Crazy!Wilson!Brother fic if she wrote me a threesome, and she held up her end of the bargain remarkably well. There were orange slices. Mmm.

Anyway, I know I keep blithering about House in this journal and I feel bad about it because many of you couldn't care less, but...it's EATING MY BRAIN.

Sorry.

Rating: PG.
Summary: House wants to fix things he can't, for the first time in a long time.

I will not reserve i_blues_joo and use it to write fic with, I won't I won't I won't...

Commentary post-hack: I totally did.

Sam's Three Things About House MD!

1. I liked that there was only one crack about hot lesbian action, and it was from Cameron. Contrary to what many believe, House doesn't make politically incorrect jokes because it's fun, he makes them when they serve a purpose. In this particular case, there was no reason to crack on lesbians, it had no bearing on the case. So, no jokes. Which is another thing I like -- that a gay couple was shown just like any other couple, and that their relationship was just as INCREDIBLY FUCKING DYSFUNCTIONAL OMG. I totally called the girlfriend knowing she was about to be dumped, though, which was kind of disappointing.

2. This episode had so many one-liners it's well-nigh impossible to choose one to quote, but:

Cameron: We've got rectal bleeding.
House: What, all of you?

3. I actually cheered (and woke up the dog) when Wilson said "because you're all about the teaching" and House just gave him a look. Because House is all about the teaching. There are moments in this show when I have intense flashbacks to my first adult mentor, because he did the exact same thing. He treated me as if I was smarter, cooler, and way more well-adjusted than I was, and thus I learned how to be those things. It sucked and sometimes I hated him, but I don't regret a second of it. Ninety percent of what you see on this journal -- any independence, mental flexibility, good temper, and intolerance for egowank -- is his doing. House has three incredibly agile and intelligent minds to mould, and he doesn't care if they think he's an asshole while he does it. Good for him. Cameron should have known that if he didn't get the article back to her in two weeks, he wasn't going to, and she should have just asked him to sign it, or gone to someone else for the signature.

3a. I'm not sure I like House's new cane. His old one was mo pimpin. And I really can't believe I'm paying that much attention to it. *facepalm*

Screencaps and icons to follow. One of the few perks of fanning a TV show again is that I can make icons of it on a regular basis.

I agree about the teaching thing, totally. For knowing House so well, you'd think Wilson would understand that by now. I totally got it by, like, the third or fourth ep. ;)

I think Wilson does know it. But part of his job is to reassure House that he's still seen as a bastard. He lets House pretend that he doesn't care. I still think my favourite line was Cuddy's about putting Wilson in his own cage.

What did you think about Foreman? I was sort of disappointed in his little speech to Cameron. It was kind of like watching him kick a puppy. Of course Cameron could use some toughening up.

Well....I think if he wants colleagues instead of friends, that's okay, but you still don't fuck over your colleagues. I think the only reason he didn't apologise was that she told him he should. If she had just said "I'm sorry" and walked away, he probably would have said "me too". He admitted to Chase that he should have. But Foreman's stubborn, and she basically said "I'm apologising so that you'll apologise to me", which ticked him off. And Cameron really should have known better than to think House was going to read something if he didn't read it in the first month. :D

I watched seven hours of House today. Are you proud of me? ;) Although really, I would be more proud of me if I had spent seven hours studying. And it was really more like 4 hours, because they're only 40 minutes long.

This might have been the best episode of this season. More once I watch it again.

Cameron drove me up the wall this episode. It was like, hey yeah, colonoscopy, how about you bring up your shit with Foreman, I don't know, ANYWHERE else. Let's ignore the screaming dying girl, lolz.

Mum: So, a 1952 movie called "The Importance of Being Earnest" is on.
Sam: Oh! Cool, maybe I'll watch it.
Mum: The one with Colin Firth, that's a remake of this one, then?
Sam: Uh, well. Um? They're...both remakes of the play? From 1895?

Mum, she's very smart, she does scary math in her head, but she's not so much with the Great Literature. I was very pleased to be able to give the precise year for the play, too. I retain the strangest things.

Yes, I am posting at a rather odd time. I should be at work right now, bored out of my head. But I can't actually remember the last time I was in as much pain from a headache as the one I had at 4:30 this afternoon, so I called in sick (oh man Longhorn's gonna kill me) and took a three hour nap. The pain has subsided, but I took some ultracet, which could be helping. Seriously. I have had bad headaches, but never to the point where after two painkillers I still had trouble sleeping because it hurt to close my eyes. The dragon that lives in my head decided to stretch his wings for a bit.

Mum has suggested that I spend tomorrow not reading (awww, Muuuuuuum! *whine*) or spending much time on the computer, so I'll be a bit absentee tomorrow. I have some commitments to people, and I'll try to fulfill those, but I may be a day late. I am very sorry.

If I feel all right later tonight, however, the caps and icons will still go up. We'll see.
