Wow.  Yay.  She looks amazing.


Also?  You suck, Republicans. 

And in the spirit of her return: I'm not going to call the Republicans economic terrorists or country hostage-takers.

Crazy and need to be voted out next year?   YES.


Never seen so many republicans want to emulate California so much -- balanced budget amendment?  Seriously?  You guys are nuts.  My grandfather (raised since the age of 6 months in CA), formerly die-hard republican, now a staunch Democrat (he switched a few years ago -- in his 80s!) is LOVING going around a telling people EVEN REAGAN RAISED TAXES, YOU IDIOTS. 

Is there a Schoolhouse Rock episode that covered the budget?  Or general economics?  Or can I just send my first-year econ textbook (enjoyable also because it makes fun of the Laffer Curve -- meaning republicans would read it and go LIES!  DROWN THE WITCH!)

Fuck you, republicans.  Fuck you for playing chicken with our lives.  

THIS is what happens when you vote for people who say "Government is the problem, not the solution."  That the "scariest words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"  or WHO WANT TO DROWN GOVERNMENT IN A BATHTUB.

ALSO?  Fuck you, press, FOR NOT DOING YOUR DAMN JOB AND TELLING THE VOTING PUBLIC WHAT THESE IDIOTS WERE PLANNING ON DOING.  OR ARE DOING AT THE PRESENT MOMENT.   "Republicans say eating shrapnel is healthy, Democrats disagree" IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.

(I know I've been AWOL -- but I have some news!  and I'll be back soon!)

 I didn't know this happened:


She just picked this song, too, as a wake-up song, I think.  She's picked it, before -- before, before -- during missions for their wake-up, when it was her turn.  

And I like the Bowie reference. Very cool.

Surreal.  And an amazing thing, it's just so . . . sad seems inadequate.


( Longer version )

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

( what is the point of a laugh track if the show isn't performed in front of a live studio audience )

Or photocopies.


Is the yelling designed to scare me?  Because I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be scared of.  More yelling?  That's not scary.  That you'll hurt me?  That's scary, but I'm pretty sure I can outrun you.

He's orange.
The color?
No, the fruit.


She's my patient.
It's my hospital.
[first walk 'n' talk! first walk 'n' talk!]


You got lucky. [LisaE in glasses! and a walkaway]
[House watches the walkaway]  Cool, huh.

I...don't know what to stay.  It hasn't sunk in, yet.

It does, however, make me want to finish the Family Practice snark-cap (no squee, here), aka "kick-ass women kicking ass."

Hmm. I'm not good with titles.

I've mentioned this before, but when I first heard about House?  I thought, yay! HL is getting an American TV show and I'll be able to watch him on a weekly basis! But, boo, it's a medical drama. But then I saw the ads.  RSL is doing a tv show?  And OE?   And it has LISA E?!  She can pull off Sorkinese!  I love her. And her hair.  And her shoes. Okay.  Damn, the cast looks too good to miss.

And I cheerleaded (sure, that's a word) the show to others.  From the beginning.  Damn it.

I watched the BBC's Sherlock (awesome! btw) this weekend and it reminded me of the beginning of House and what I think DS, etc. were trying to do, at least in the beginning.  But the characters made their own way and LE kicked so much ass (HL, actually, has a great quote about her and what she's able to do) and, quite frankly, the creators made their bed when they chose to make "Watson" a serial philanderer instead of a...war vet or something a little grittier. Unless, multiple spouses=battle-tested, in which case it's just another in a long line of Show having a rather fucked up view of women.  (fly away, OW, fly away!  or have all your scenes with Taub).

I loved House/Cuddy from the beginning because I loved their interactions.  I loved LE going in and she and HL?  Magic.  So much fun.  It was never about needing to see them as a couple, but, once Show started pushing it (end of Top Secret? :D), I wasn't adverse to it.  More screentime for Lisa E?  Sign me up.

Part of me was even looking forward to a break-up scene.  Imagining HL & LE in that scene?  So awesome.  What we got?  So not.  Put the actors in a room together and stay out of their way.  That's all I've wanted.  And we're not going to get that.

So, I'll enjoy the story of the OT3 in my head (and in what, hopefully, you gorgeous fic writers will put together).  I've checked out for awhile, so maybe that's what's making this (a little) easier, but it still hurts.  Because she's my favorite.  She's my Toby.  And someone else in that office, the site of so many favorite, amazing (, and understated) scenes, is going to hurt so much that I'm not going to watch.  I can't.  I'll read what happens on house_cuddy (I love that comm; it's what got me to join LJ so I could talk about Joy since rl peeps were...not as interested) and I love the show (and the comm) forever for bringing so many awesome people together--and letting me share in a small corner of it.

 Never a good sign when Livejournal doesn't even recognize your computer anymore.

What's also not a good sign: I forgot a new House was on a few weeks ago and haven't seen anything since Bombshells (the first few I missed after Bombshells were, ahem, by choice).

And i broke down and read spoilers and

( +++++ )

SPEAKING OF SPOILERS, i need to talk about Castle and Hawaii 5-0

Yes, I watch Hawaii 5-o.  ( humuhumunukunukuapua'a )


CASTLE SPOILERS

( hoping you will come and untangle me one of these days )

Congrats on a great season, Arizona.  

Congrats on a great career, Jamelle Horne.  (You, too, D. Will?)

It's funny, because if you ask any AZ fan: which do you want more?  AZ beating Duke by thoroughly dismantling them in a completely embarrassing manner (like if Duke is a number one seed)?  Or win the National Championship?

Everyone will have to think about their answer.
