the nomness

Just talkin’ ’bout shaft….what. First off (or I guess second at this point), I HATE watching broadcast programming. I hate the commercials and my projector hates the video signal, choosing to display at easily half the brightness it proudly displays every single other piece of video I chuck at it. My old Star Wars VHS tapes are brighter than network programming for godssake, and I’m talking Han Shot First old. Jesus Christ network programming, quit trying to browbeat me into HD by making SD a painful bitch to watch. I HAVE an HD projector. I don’t WANT to pay for HD cable. Bitches. Ahem.

I swear I’m of half a mind to track down last night’s ep online to watch again in proper contrast but I’ve promised myself to watch this season live and not to partake in any Tuesday morning cheating. And honestly, after last night I’m of half a mind full stop. Really? It takes a month in a sanitorium for House to successfully charm his way onto Lola’s chair? Really? A) there’s no way she held out that long, and 2) I still think he was faking the healing because he was a huge fan of that movie and just wanted to see how she’s aging. Turns out, pretty fucking A-OK even without the tangerine hair. Other than that, motherfuckin’ NYAGHHhh. House knows he’s pretty but seeing him use his powers for good instead of evil is a heady thing and I’m glad I made that no-downloads promise to myself because otherwise I’d be getting very little work done today. In a chair. Shit…may have to stand all day.

Last night’s ep was incredible on many levels but I think the biggest one is that I honestly can’t picture this new House at PPTH. Dealing with Wilson after hours, yes. But Evil Nurse Brenda? Cuddy? Cottages? I honestly can’t see it, nor can I see how they’ll accept that he’s actually changed (and also to see how easy it may be to get this new soberho onto a chair *CUDDY*). She should organize a hospital-wide screening of last night’s ep so everyone can take the same journey we did, to understand that he sincerely wants to change. But then we run into this pesky problem of fantasy vs reality, and this is why Effbit is my BFFandEver. We straddle that line with limitless flexibility.

Jesus, and here’s where I should be posting pics from last night’s ep but since I’m not DL’ing I can’t screencap. Fuck. I may have to make allowances for Tuesday morning posts.
