House 3.20
Apr. 7th, 2009 09:37 pmI just finished watching, and ( spoilers )
My life, in two tabs.
Apr. 6th, 2009 06:59 pmBrowser Tab A: Federal website, because for my summer internship I am classified as a government contractor. Now in addition to my Sheppardian dog tag, I can be a little like Rodney! Or House in the episode with the CIA. Hopefully with less sexual harrassment.
BrowserSlot Tab B: Tentacle fic.
Yeah.
.
Finally got to see the last episode of House. The whole time I kept thinking of an article called Reading Minds (PDF) by Ian Parker, which is a fascinating look at the syndrome the episode was all about. It may not have the show's maze of diagnostic turns and dead ends, but it takes a closer -- and I hate to say "more realistic," too, because what do I know about this syndrome, but at least a less wholly optimistic -- look at what it's like to try to communicate with people who have what the PotW did. ( spoilers )

I have nothing to say that you all aren't already thinking. But. ( spoilers )

Three things that make today worthwhile:
1. Brownies. Box brownies, with two eggs instead of three so they're chewy-fudgy. Mmm. I think I will share some with my classmates tomorrow.
2. I just broke up with someone (after one whole week, wow) and do not feel bad about it at all. Only relieved. That tells me it was the right decision. And I didn't even lose a TV-watching partner over it.
3. ( House )
Wow, sorry. One day my posts will be thoughtful and well-phrased again. (If they ever were. Hm.) I will not tie myself up in knots about perceived declining quality. I will not tie myself up in knots about perceived declining quality.
