I really don't get Detox (House). If I go off my anti-depressant meds, I have withdrawal symptoms. I'm probably addicted to them. That doesn't mean I don't need them.

Now, maybe House doesn't need the Vicodin, or at least as much as he was taking. Maybe he should have found another way to manage his pay. However, the fact that he showed withdrawal symptoms when going off the Vicodin doesn't really prove anything.

I don't understand this episode.

Somone over at the Pit of Bitter Morons (aka TWOP--and yes, I post there still sometimes) said this about last night's episode:

I can see why the relative newbies liked this episode - it's House! As a longer time viewer, though, I thought it was just OK.

I've been watching at *least* since Occam's Razor. I also watched the special pilot that came in Entertainment which has a scene that seems to have disappeared into the ether. I loved last night's episode. Does that make me a newbie or a moron?

Neither. It makes me a different person with different taste, stupid wench (or wonch [male wench]).

Oh! That could be a meme! We all have different strengths in fanfiction, be it exposition, narration, dialogue, plot, characterization, atomosphere, etc. If you read or have read my fics, what do you think my strengths are? Repost if you're interested in seeing what people think yours are.

I'm either bloated or gained weight around my middle overnight. None of my pants fit comfortably. Of course, since prior to this, I've only seemed to gain weight in my boobs, none of my shirts fit comfortably either. But I can deal.

It's hard being me.

I'm tired. Dreamed about Prison Break all last night, but because I was so tired, they weren't the fun kind of dreams with plots and action and a way for me to remember. I couldn't even slip into a lucid dream and have some fun with Wentworth. *sigh* Maybe tonight.

except...

HOUSE!!!!!!!!

*does happy dance of joy*

Okay. Off to get to school. Maybe today will be the day I figure out what the hell is wrong with my printer.

I like this shirt, but the summary below is incorrect. Specifically, this:

House's distrust gets a full airing in the first episode. Asked why he won't bother ton interview Rebecca, he asserts, "Everybody lies." Oh yes, explains one of his team member, "Dr. House doesn't like dealing with patients." He's not in this business to save patients, much less chat with them. "Treating illnesses is why we became doctors," he instructs his naïve charges. "If we don't talk to them, they can't lie to us, and we can't lie to them." Asked where one might find the "humanity" in such a view, he has an answer for that too: "Humanity is overrated." This just before his patient-from-a-distance, Rebecca, has an allergic reaction to something during an MRI and his team performs an emergency tracheotomy on her -- all bloody spurts, pounding score, and ER-style crisis -- illustrating that, despite and because of Dr. House, "humanity" has its place.

That is *so* not what happens during that scene. First off, there is absolutely no music playing, at all during that part. Second, the blood doesn't spurt; it wells out of the inision, yes, but it doesn't spirt. Third--and this is important because it's what I like so much about the scene--while there is a sense of urgency that is natural to the moment, you never really get the sense that there is a crisis. Voices are calm and cool, the camera is steady and focused, and it's all... not crisis-like.

So, yeah. That's just wrong. But I like the shirt.
