Thursday: I just made a sandwich

It was a good sandwich, all toasty-crunchy on thick slices of wheaty hearty bread.  I bought grapes too, but I never got hungry enough for a snack, so I never had any.  I know, I'll pack some for lunch tomorrow and have a sweet healthy afternoon snack!

Because it's my blog and I can put up anything:

Hugh Laurie by a river.

Prints of various demons.  Probably taken from some edition of the Lesser Key of Solomon.

Invasion of the chipmunks!

• Puppy!
• You know, of all the places you probably should avoid getting into a hit-and-run, "leaving a drag show" is probably somewhere in the middle. Unless, of course, you happen to have a radio show about how much you hate gay people.
• Japan gets all the cool things.  I want a rabbit cafe.
• I was planning on going to go see this movie this weekend.  However, if you didn't know anything about the story or about the movie, I seriously doubt that this would be the most informative advertisement.
• Baby squirrel!
• Some people should not be allowed to have kids.
• I know that last link was ambiguously vague.  But seriously, it's about douchebags who have to invent fancy names for milk so they can be pretentious fucktards when ordering at a coffee shop.  Just say, "a regular fucking coffee, and some fucking milk for my baby."  You don't have to invent imaginary words for everything.
• Compared to this, my valentine's day menu wasn't that complicated at all.  Then again, I also don't have a fully staffed kitchen.  So, it's a tradeoff.

Friday: lazy = tacos

Since I was out of planned food, I just picked up tacos on the way home. Woo lazy!

The taco picture is a zombie because I've been watching this movie on my DVR this evening.  It's led me to a conclusion that luckily someone else has had:

Boris Karloff and Hugh Laurie totally look alike.

The Greatest Movie of All Time

Will unfortunately never ever be made. :(

Tritter

I hate Tritter. He's the dumbest character ever to appear on House. That includes Administrator Black Tritter, who I don't even like enough to look up his real name. It also includes the guy who pretended he wanted to have sex with a cow, but really killed Tara, prompting Willow to freak out and turn all evil.

Wait, that might have been a different show.

In any case, the whole concept of an arbitrarily powerful foil for House is dumb. It would be as if periodically Sherlock Holmes has to fight the entire Prussian army to solve a murder. And not just once, either. I'm talking that the entire Prussian army has moved in next door, and Mrs. Hudson brings them tea when they try to stop Holmes. Would you read that story? Of course not, because you just want to see Holmes solve the crime in a witty and unexpected way.

Same thing with House. You don't tune in each episode to watch House do his taxes or buy new shoes. You want to see him be an ass to people while he solves murders medical issues. Watching him fight The Man is none of that.

On a side note, a House-like show about a chartered accountant fighting The Man might be good, but only if it involved sailing on the wide accountant-sea.

A suggestion I mentioned on twitter was that someone should recut and reshoot all the episodes to remove Tritter from the show. To explain House's problems getting his vicodin, replace the drug charges with a worldwide shortage of the pills. Sure, that's stupidly unrealistic, but it's not like House is always medically accurate.

In any case, I'd never have to see Tritter's dumb face showing up, looking smug, and trying to stop people from getting better. If they wanted to do that, they could have made a new show: Tritter. It could be about an asshole cop who solves problems using logic and deduction.

Oh wait, that'd just be Sherlock Holmes again.

A good antagonist is equally smart and capable as the protagonist. However, you can't have a Moriarty for House. It just won't work. There's a guy going around inventing diseases and giving them to people? That's more of a crime issue than a medical. It's been pretty well established that no one else on the show is as smart as House. Therefore, the only way to get an antagonist for House is to turn him against himself.

This is why I like the hallucinations from this season. They know all the things that House knows, but seem intent to crush him. Also: kill Chase. I'm looking forward to next season.
