If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it

Today I ended up getting the one book I've been putting off and putting off from getting. The book Ralph Steadman ended up writing after the good Doctor punched his own ticket in 2005, called "The Joke's over" which is pretty much Ralph talking about his best friend and all the times they had together, and a lot of the copies of the faxes they had going back and forth to each other. (I have a strong feeling that Doc really didn't like using the phone that much and would rather type away at his typewriter instead, god knows he could talk almost as fast as he could write, probably.)

I started to flip through it once I bought it and I have to say, there are a lot of very interesting faxes that the Doctor of Journalism wrote to his dear friend, about stuffing a dead dog wrapped in a Santa Suit down the chimmey of the houses of one of the people he hates on X-mas Eve. Trust me on this one folks, some of this stuff, I don't have a twisted enough mind to think this crap up. Over all, the book is a gem in itself really, especally Ralph talking about him trying to get Hunter out of his hotel room one day and all that Hunter was doing on the other side was making weird groans and "loud cat wails." It's a book that no Thompson fan should be with out.

But after a while, I closed the book and I ended up getting this feeling in my stomach, it wasn't a bad feeling, but it wasn't a good feeling, it was just a weird feeling. It was like, I was reading about a man who I greatly admired and was a big fan of his work, and he's dead. He's really gone, I think it's been a while since I got the reality of him really being gone after two years since he did it.

I mean I remember reading some of his work in eariler 2004 and thinking, "Wow, this man is such a genius, he knows his work and he has such a way of writing things, I would give anything to write like that, to have that passion of writing in mine own." But now with him gone, I don't know, I don't think my writer's muse allows me to think like that anymore because everytime I do, I feel almost guilty in a way, knowing that he's gone. I don't know.

All I know is that his work will always live on, always. There will never be another man like HST, ever. He was one in a billion, and now... he's gone. He's probably looking down at us (or up, which ever view you perfer) watching humanity through his dark sunglasses, probably saying a witty comment or two about how all the goverment has gone to hell, taking a long drag on the cigarette in his mouth, downing some of the whiskey he has in a tall cup filled with ice, and then walking away, off to cause some chaos where ever it leads him.

*Raises glass*

If any of you haven't seen the movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang yet, you are stupid and go out and rent it right now. No I'm not kidding, I'm dead serious, go out and get it right this minute. It has Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer in it and it's directed by Shane Black. And if you have time watch the commentary of the three of them with it, also funny. Anyway I just watched this Moviefone "Unscripted" interview with the two of them for the movie. Wow... that had to be the funniest interview I've ever seen.

Kilmer: Hey Robert.
Downey: Hey honey bunny

[About Shane Black, the director of the movie]
Downey: Do you still think he loves you?
Kilmer: Yes I do. Why his affection for you has faded, I have no idea.
[Downey laughs]
Kilmer: Maybe it's because you married his producer without his consent.
Downey: Yea maybe.
Kilmer: Why would you do that, Robert? Why?
Downey: I don't know, seemed like a good idea at the time.

I seriously have never laughed so hard in my whole life in this interview it's so funny. Since I'm too lazy to actually find the link for it, I'll just tell you how to get it. Go to google or whatever search engine you like to use and type in "Moviefone: Unscripted" and it should be the first link. Then you just scroll down the videos until you find "Robert Downey Jr./Val Kilmer" I think you need a flash to actually play the video or something.

Anyway anyone else not know that Robert Downey Jr. was a singer? Or am I the only one who didn't know? Ah fuck it, yea I didn't know and I first figured tha the song during the credits of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is actually him singing off his album, "The Futurist" so I started to look into him and found a video of him singing on youtube. (I put it in the music section in myspace, just to let you know.) I totally fell-love with his voice and literally went out and bought the CD. Only took me going to three stores to finally find it in Santa Cruz.

Yea I've been listening to it ever since I got it and yea... I'm still listening to it. Like right now... lol As I type.


..... I really gotta think about finding a boyfriend....

Well I hope you all had a nice and safe Christmas. Mine was kinda boring since we kinda already did the whole gift thing before, we kinda do it earlier in the year since it's kinda more of a moment thing. So we had a tree and everything, but my sister and my brother just went out and got some gifts to wrap which made my mom happy since the tree didn't look like the Charlie Brown tree anymore. It was mostly ski stuff which really didn't surprise me. It was kinda like "Hey guess what we like to do!"

Apparently on the Discovery channel, they were having a Mythbuster's 18 hour marathon. So that prety much took a good 80% of my day right there. I started getting into that show when they had that movie myths esp where they did the whole Underworld shooting a circle in the ground to get to the next floor and the cutting another sword in half from Count of Monte Criso. It really got me hooked and so I started watching it more and more. I remember they did a thing on Soda and Mentos and I laughed, saying that I had already did it for a fun little experiment at my friend Hannah's house for her birthday one year up in Napa.

I think I fell asleep around the Movie catburglers one, which made me mad since I wanted to see Adam scale a building with his suction thing he built for going up the heating vent and I had just missed it. I was actually really surprised that the 'Powers that Be' (The producers) let Adam do that. I remember in the movie myths esp, they did the whole leapping out a window and falling on a bunch of awings, like in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, towards the beginning. He really wanted to do that, but apparently the 'Powers' said it was too dangerous and didn't want him to do it for the fear that he might hurt himself. So he can't jump off a building into a bunch of awnings for the fear that he might hurt himself, but he can scale an entire building with his homemade suction thing, where if one thing goes wrong, he might even kill himself...? Wow... yea... alright...

I really don't know what to call this post. I mean, I started this two days ago after I saw the Good Shepard, which was great by the way go see it. Right after I saw it, on the drive back, this statement started going through my head over and over and over again. I really didn't know what to make of it until I put it down on a Word doc on my computer. (The statement is the very first sentence in the story.) Then I just started writing, just anything and I guess this was the result of it and I just couldn't stop writing. I've shown it to some of my friends and they think it's really good and it really hooks you into the beginning and keeps you interested. But I don't know, you can be the judge of that. I do warn you, like all my works, it's kinda long, so yea. Enjoy and comment! (Your welcome, Lisa!)


( Both sides of the Line )

Alright! I added more into my Hodgela fan fic! Sorry it took me so long, but I have this stupid way my brain works where I can only work what's currently in my head. After a couple Bones esps, I started writing again, just trying to think where I should go with it. So here it is. I just added more to the orginal post I posted a couple posts ago. (Wow could I say posts more?)


( I'm here now, baby. )

Ok I feeling SOO much better than this morning. The pain has finally gone away and I kept myself awake during Psychology (we were watching a video, an interesting one, so I guess that helped.)

WE KICKED SO MUCH ASS ON OUR SCENE FOR THEATER! I mean we nailed every line and did everything perfect and people laughed! We really couldn't have done any better! So we pretty much got an A for a scene.

So with me not getting a lot of sleep now, add in cramps kicking my ass at about 2 am this morning, I mean like constant and utter pain. I couldn't get back to sleep until like 6:30 and then I dazed out and in for about half an hour before I had to get up for school. That had to be the worse night I have ever had in a while. The little pit below my stomach felt like it was being grabbed and then twisted and then yanked out all at the same time. So in other words, it didn't feel pretty. Now to add up to it, we have to do our scenes today in theater. I'm praying that I'm not seriously dying of pain in that class or that they start clearing up before then because if not, my acting is gonna be really crappy and I'm probably gonna let my scene partners down. Then if the painful night wasn't enough, I'm really *really* tired and of course it's the night of my night class, so I'm probably gonna have to keep playing loud music in my ears from my I-pod just to keep myself awake to get through the day. I mean, I could barely shift this morning coming to school since I guess I was too weak to even grab the shifter to shift and when I looked in the mirror this morning, I was really pale and over all, looked terrible. So hopefully, I can get through my first class without either throwing up or passing out in my chair. Maybe some youtube videos will make me feel better.... some Bones videos, some Hodg-ela videos, some Blade... yea... that sounds pretty good about now....

Ok, you all know that I write "some" fan fiction, like my immortal 60 pages Numb3rs fan fic that I've actually got some awards on from the Cal Library and a couple other sites I posted it on. Yea I'm pretty surprised too. Anyway, I took a stab at writing some Hodg-ela fan fiction. (For those who haven't been reading my other entries, that's Hodgins and Angela relationship from Bones.) I've been writing some and then trashing some all day yesturday and some of today, since I thought it was crap. Truthfully, I think this is crap too, but not as crappy as the other stuff I've written. So eh. Here is it.

( I'm here now, baby. )

Yea I've been watching a lot Bones lately, maybe it's because I bought the first season and been watching them nonestop since I got it.... Yea, that's gotta be it. lol Anyway, I guess you could say that I'm watching the show for a number of reasons, the bones aspect, the extremely good sexual vibes from Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth, I mean freakin damn, I thought Grissom and Sara's was strong! But lately, I've seen seeing a lot of other reasons, like one in perticular. The whole Angela and Hodgins vibe. =)

Ok for those who don't follow the show:
Angela Montenergro is an artist that works for the Jeffersonians as a facial reconstrucion-ist and created a program that recreates scencros and such. She's also Dr. Brennan's best friend.







Dr. Jack Hodgins is a scienist with three specialites: Entomology, spores and minerals. So in other words he's a bug, slim and dirt guy, as he likes to put it. He also likes conspiracy theories and being sarcastic with the others.







There have been quite a lot of tention in-between these two, mostly what seems like harmeless flirting and stuff, but for some of us, it looked like something else. Then in a pretty big esp called "Aliens in the Spaceship" Dr. Brennan and Hodgins get kidnapped by the serial killer they were investgating called the Grave Digger because he buries his victims alive in a car or some sort of container. Anyway, the team ends up finding them and Booth pulls Dr. Brennan out of the dirt and then Hodgins and the minute they do BLAM! Angela kisses him.







*Geeky smile*

I mean, it's cute! Then towards the end of the esp, Hodgins admits to her that he's afraid to fall asleep because he's afraid that if he closes his eyes and opens them, he'll be back in that car, buried alive and running out of air. She then tells him to come home with her that way, when he opens his eyes, she'll be there.







I'll admit, at this point, I was pretty much crying lol

Since we're studying the Chicano movement and reading Oscar Zeta Acosta's work called "Revolt of the Cockroach people", I've been thinking about him and the Doc more than usually lately. I mean my teacher, Mr. Leal, keeps talking about how big it was during the 60's in Los Angeles and how a lot of the very large Chicano activist were either silenced or fled.

Oscar supposebly disppeared around 1971 off the coast of Mexico, yet there has been evidence that he was alive around 1974. Like a phone called from Oscar to Hunter around 1973, telling him to stay alert and to be careful, why? Well my reasoning leads to someone just worried that his best friend's life is in danger from his own enemies. Kinda a 'if they can't get to me, I think they might come after you.' And there was a hosptial charge for a broken arm or wrist to Jann Wanner or whatever, the guy that Hunter worked for at Rolling Stone around 1974. There have been ten or more "Oscar Sightings" since then. So, did he really disppear and die off the coast of Mexico or is he just in hiding? Of course that was in 1974 and this is 2006-07, the likely hood that is he still alive are pretty silm now, him with his bleeding ulcer and all but... what if he is?

What if he is still alive now and just hiding out and he got the news that his best friend, not only died, but shot himself. How utterly terrible would that be? Then he couldn't even go to his memorial service because he was still in hiding and didn't want to get spotted anywhere. I really could not imagine what that might be like. The pain he would be in, just knowing that he couldn't even say good-bye to one of the bestest friends he has probably ever had in his entire life.

I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I would and plus the fact that I am bored out of my mind waiting for my Forensic anthropology class to start in like two hours.

Well sadly to report that Hailey, one of my friends from Napa's little brother... died on thanksgiving, which pretty much just spoils the whole holiday in general for her family. He was twelve. Twelve fuckin' years old, he didn't even make it to his teen years before he was snatch away from this world by some freak accident. *sighs* I feel completely terrible and I feel that it's duty to be up there, but I'm stuck down here in Watsonville because of my classes. The soonest time I can make it up there is like around the 13th or the 16th of December. In my opinion, that's too long, but I guess I'm just gonna have to take what I can get and be lucky I'm going up at all.

For the first time in god knows when, I'm actually speechless, I really can't think of a thing to say to Hailey to help comfort her in her very much time of need. It's like everything I thought about saying doesn't even come close to what I actually mean. No words can help describe what she's feeling. Of course I've never lost someone close to me at that age, so what could I possiblely say to make her feel better about it? That she has to stay strong for her mother's sake? That whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger? That that pain she is feeling will go away in time, so do your best to stay strong? I feel that all that doesn't cut it. All that... just doesn't seem enough.

Hey everyone, I just would like to report that I have FINALLY got an I-pod! It's 30 GB and it's a video and music one. It's a very pretty black one. I have named it, Crowley (lol the irony is killing me.) I have gotten a real nice case for it with a little clip on the back so I can connect it to my pants when I walk. FOR the first time I don't have to carry something when I'm listening to music! I already have an esp of Numb3rs, Touching Evil, and the movie Tombstone on it. (Couldn't help it, Doc Holiday is so awesome.) Along with 300 hundred songs and it still hasn't taken up up nearly any of the space on it. This morning, I dropped poor Crowley for the first time and thank god, he was in his case! Gotta love it.

Well here I am once again. My older brother, Kyle, who came to visit for the summer from going to school in Europe for a couple years, left this morning to go back to school and won't be back until X-mas. I know it's not that long, but I can't help but miss him already. We always said that we were closer than any other of our siblings. Just like my younger brother and my older sister were close too. Now it's like everytime I get in the Audi, I think of him and laugh since he was the one who first taught me how to drive Manual (And Dave a long time ago) and he always said, "You know what Audi means? It means: Get the fuck out of my way!" He always liked to drive fast in that car so it made sense. That and German is like a second language to him, so it makes it all the funnier.

I finally got that awesome Casablanca poster up that one of my best friends gave me for my birthday this year!







I think it's a perfect place for it. Don't you? =)

"'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin killed

The naturalist worked to protect Australian wildlife


Irwin with crocodiles
Australian naturalist and television personality Steve Irwin has been killed by a stingray during a diving expedition off the Australian coast.
Mr Irwin, 44, died after being struck in the chest by the stingray's barb while he was filming a documentary in Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.

Paramedics from Cairns rushed to the scene but were unable to save him.

Mr Irwin was known for his television show The Crocodile Hunter and his work with native Australian wildlife.

Police in Queensland confirmed the environmentalist's death and said his family had been notified. Mr Irwin was married with two young children.


Mr Irwin's manager John Stainton told the BBC the stingray's barb had pierced the personality's heart.

"He came over the top of a stingray and a barb, the stingray's barb went up and put a hole into his heart," he said.

"We got him back within a couple of minutes to Croc 1, which is Steve's research vessel, and by 12 o'clock when the emergency crew arrived they pronounced him dead."

The incident happened at Batt Reef, off Port Douglas.

It's a huge loss to Australia - he was a wonderful character

John Howard,
Australian Prime Minister

Australian Prime Minister John Howard said he had known Mr Irwin well, and that the country had lost a "wonderful and colourful son".

"I am quite shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin's sudden untimely and freakish death", he said.

"It's a huge loss to Australia - he was a wonderful character, he was a passionate environmentalist, he brought entertainment and excitement to millions of people."

The stingray is a flat, triangular-shaped fish, commonly found in tropical waters.

What happened to Steve Irwin is like being stabbed in the heart

Dr Geoff Isbister
Clinical toxicologist
It gets its name from the razor-sharp barb at the end of its tail, coated in toxic venom, which the animal uses to defend itself with when it feels threatened.

Attacks on humans are a rarity - only one other person is known to have died in Australia from a stingray attack, at St Kilda, Melbourne in 1945.

"Stingrays only sting in defence, they're not aggressive animals so the animal must have felt threatened. It didn't sting out of aggression, it stung out of fear," Dr Bryan Fry, Deputy Director of the Australian Venom Research Unit at the University of Melbourne said.

Experts say that while painful, stingray venom is rarely lethal and it would have been the wound caused by the barb itself, which could measure up to 20cm long, which proved fatal.

"What happened to Steve Irwin is like being stabbed in the heart. It has little to do with the venom and all to do with the trauma caused by the barb of the stingray," Dr Geoff Isbister, a clinical toxicologist at the Mater Hospital in Newcastle, Australia, said.

Mr Irwin had built up what was a small reptile park in Queensland into what is now Australia Zoo, a major centre for Australian wildlife.

He was famous for handling dangerous creatures such as crocodiles, snakes and spiders, and his documentaries on his work with crocodiles drew a worldwide audience.

But he also courted controversy with a series of stunts.
He sparked outrage across Australia after cradling his one-month-old son a metre away from the reptile during a show at Australia Zoo.

An investigation was launched into whether Mr Irwin and his team interacted too closely with penguins and whales while filming in the Antarctic, but no action was taken.

Foreign Minister Alexander Downer praised Mr Irwin for his work to promote Australia."

='(


To tell you the truth, I was shocked to hear this. I know a lot of people are like "Yea he was going to get killed at some point." But I always thought that he was an expert when it came to animals. He was always in control, especally the thing with holding his son Bob when he was feeding a Croc. I believed him when he said he was in 'complete control' but he was!

*sighs*

I've sheded my tears for him last night when I first found out. But I really can't imagine what poor Terri is going through right now and his kids. =( it's a really sad thought. Terri and him did everything together and now... I went to the croc hunter official website... the link's been broken, it goes right to a blank page of "Cannot Find."

Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed.

*I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN! I'M GONNA SEE GEORGE CARLIN!

*Clears throat*

Sorry I'm just a bit excited about seeing George Carlin LIVE in about two weeks.







For those you don't remember who he is, not only is he a world famous Comedican, he also played Cardinal Glick in Kevin Smith's wonderful movie Dogma.

*smiles* Jelious much?

I went to the midnight show of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 up in napa with Kate and a couple friends of mine and we dressed up! Yea we're freakin geeks and we're proud of it. There were like hundreds of people in line, but we were pretty close to the front, so ha! Movie was AMAZING! Here's some pictures of me in my outfit:

Ok, for some of you guys, you guys know me as a Blade fan. Ok maybe a big Blade fan. Owned all his movies, read the comics, yeah the whole shabang. I've read the comics since I was little and I've always loved him. His personality, his looks, his behavior, his clothes, everything. He was one of the reasons I actually got into vampires. So when I saw the first movie, I was like "Hell yeah! That was perfect from the comic!" And some on as so forth and the name David S. Goyer kept bouncing up in the movies, so I searched his name and started to watch more of his movies. He is now my favorite screen writer. So anyway, enough of the history.

When I first found out that Blade TV show, I was like, "what the fuck!?" Especally when I heard that Wesley Snipes wasn't playing him. Ok, I'm not too narrow minded, but when it comes to this, Snipes is the ONLY person who caught all sides of the character perfect, and I really think he's the only person who is able to play him. That and I was like "Why David S. Goyer?! Why?!?! Why have you been betrayed me?!?"

BUT

I forced myself to watch it, just to see how it was so I could actually have my say in things. I could only watch 15 minutes of it before I had to turn it off. The storyline was bogus and most importantly, the guy who played Blade, this Sticky Jones guy, didn't even come close, in fact he didn't even get close to a Blade impersonator.

I mean... come on! Look at this!

VS.

This







NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Well I'm happy to say that I haven't slept in the last 24 hours because I've been watching the best scifi show I have ever seen in my life. But of course, the stupid scifi channel cancelled the show because of some money problem. The show was called "The Invisible Man" which was shown on the Scifi Channel about six years ago.

The show was about a theif named Darien Fawkes who got caught trying to steal from a rich man's house.... and was charged with burlery and... molsting the elderly... which was not true: the old rich man who lived in the house Darien was stealing from had a heartattack and he was trying to help him. Yeah no good deed goes unpunished. Darien was looking at life in prison.

Anyway, Darien gets caught, but his brother, Kevin Fawkes, who was a scientist that made a gland that could bend light, pretty much making the host, invisible. Cool huh? Anyway, Kevin made a deal with the government that pretty much makes Darien a human experiament, he puts the gland in Darien's brain and he goes free.

The show is about Darien working with the government agency called... well the agency. lol yeah I know. Anyway, he uses the gland in his brain to go on missions and stuff. It's quite fun stuff.

Yea anyway, my best-est friend in the whole world who I love more than life its-self, bought me the whole series from Freakin Canada, for my birthday. *sighs in happiness* I love this show so much. Especally for Darien Fawkes. The guy who plays him is named Vincent Ventresca, you may know him as Fun Bobby in friends and the guy who plays Bobby in Romy and Michelle's High School Reniun.

Here's one of my favorite conversations:

Darien Fawkes: So this guy, Charlie Fogerty, breaks out of some asylum and you want me to catch him? I thought you schmucks were in the spy racket.
The Official: Our racket is handling cases other agencies cant.
Eberts: Or wont.
The Official: Or dont. Point is I need yo..
Darien Fawkes: No, I got it, I got it. This schmo isnt just some head case.
Eberts: Hes a catevari.
Darien Fawkes: Is that a sexual position or an Italian opera?
The Official: What he is, is our business. All you need to know is what he does.
Darien Fawkes: Draws pictures with crayons?
Eberts: He kills people Mr. Fawkes. Very quickly, very violently.
Darien Fawkes: So, uh, why do you guys think I can take him?
The Official: He cant kill what he cant see. Plus we think your quicksilver coating will act as a barrier against his touch.
Darien Fawkes: Touch?
Eberts: what makes him lethal. Skin, nails,
bodily fluids.
Darien Fawkes: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Is this guy going to kill me or date me?
The Official: Its irrelevant what he tries. Youre going to bring him in alive.
Darien Fawkes: Why alive?
The Official: Thats personal.
Darien Fawkes: Uh, OK, you know what? Uh, fellas, Im not a bounty hunter, OK? I mean, really, I, I.. I wouldnt know where to start, OK?
The Official: Hey, dont worry about it. Were linking you up with our top guy.
Darien Fawkes: Yeah, yeah, its OK. Your last top man almost got me killed.
Eberts: Its different this time. Hes been in therapy.

And the best conversations that Fawkes and Hobbes have ever had.

Darien Fawkes: Hey, can I ask you a question?
Bobby Hobbes: Fifty milligrams. You dont like it, get out and walk! Sorry, that was hostile. Look, I understand you may have.. feelings about working with me. Most people do. But I also know that youre new at this, like a like a child wandering in the woods..
Darien Fawkes: Hobbes, I was
Bobby Hobbes: And, and and. I as your senior have been asked to shepherd you.
Darien Fawkes: What is a catevari?
Bobby Hobbes: Ah ha ha ha. Ha ha! They didnt tell you that did they? No, Mr. Im so unseeable I get twice my partners pay.
Darien Fawkes: Look, its a simple question. Either you know the answer
Bobby Hobbes: Nothing is simple in this business pal! Not the blood! Not the guilt! Not the.. vacation that fat schmuck owes me..
Darien Fawkes: I was asking about the mission!
Bobby Hobbes: You dont ask! You cant do that! You dont got that kind of clearance son! You do the mission!
Darien Fawkes: Oh, without knowing anything?
Bobby Hobbes: The less you know, the happier you are. Now thats intelligence.
Darien Fawkes: No, thats retarded.
Bobby Hobbes: Thats freedom my friend. The right to shut up and do as youre told. Dont like it, move to Russia.

Yes, I know, obessessed doesn't even began to scratch the surface with this one.

I love the fact that I have been seeing my birthday everywhere, you know 06/06/06... lol And of course the people who made the new Omen movie thought it would be funny as hell to have it come out on that day, which is my birthday.... so I'm seeing countdowns on Myspace for it and all I think is, "hey that's my date!" Of course the popular, "Evil has a birthday" HEY!!

Anyway, I've actually been really really getting into the show House MD. It's actually really good, maybe it's because of Greg House's wonderful "I really don't care what other people think of me" style and of course the whole, "I say what I think and I think what I say" aproach to mediance. Plus the fact that he's right over 90% of the time when he says something.

Some quotes that prove my point:

Dr. Cameron: Men should grow up.
Dr. Gregory House: Yeah. And dogs should stop licking themselves. It's not gonna happen.

Dr. Wilson: Beauty often seduces us on the road to truth.
Dr. Gregory House: And triteness kicks us in the nads.

Dr. Eric Foreman: I think your argument is specious.
Dr. Gregory House: I think your tie is ugly.

Dr. Wilson: That smugness of yours really is an attractive quality.
Dr. Gregory House: Thank you. It was either that or get my hair highlighted. Smugness is easier to maintain.

Dr. Gregory House: Perseverance does not equal worthiness. Next time you want to get my attention, wear something fun. Low-riding jeans are hot.

Dr. Eric Foreman: Chase, stop.
Dr. Robert Chase: [stops]
Dr. Gregory House: How'd you get him trained so fast? Electronic collar? Got dog treats in your pocket?

Dr. Wilson: [about Cameron] So she's really coming back?
Aubrey Shifren: Who's coming back?
Dr. Gregory House: You don't know her.
Dr. Wilson: You give her a raise? Increase her benefits?
Dr. Gregory House: Don't have TiVo on this thing, can't rewind. Shut up.
Aubrey Shifren: You lower her hours?
Dr. Gregory House: You don't even know her!
Dr. Wilson: Who is this guy?
Dr. Gregory House: He's a patient.
Aubrey Shifren: He's examining me.
Dr. Gregory House: He's got to go back to work as soon as I'm done with the examination. Guess I do too.
Dr. Wilson: It's got to be something. I mean, she didn't come back because she likes you.
[House gets a strange look on his face]
Dr. Wilson: Wait a minute! She did come back because she likes you!
Aubrey Shifren: Heh heh! You dog! You slept with her!
Dr. Gregory House: Keep talking. I'll finish your exam with a prostate check.
[to Wilson]
Dr. Gregory House: I've agreed to take her on one date.
Dr. Wilson: What?
Aubrey Shifren: So, you into this girl?
Dr. Wilson: Yes.
Dr. Gregory House: No! She's not giving me any choice.
Aubrey Shifren: Wait... she's making you do her?
Dr. Gregory House: Date her.
Dr. Wilson: Young ingenue doctor falling in love with gruff, older mentor; her sweet gentle nature bring him to a closer, fuller understanding of his wounded heart.
Aubrey Shifren: [puts his arm around House's shoulders] Do her, or you're gay.
Dr. Gregory House: For God's sake.
[grabs TV and as he's walking out the door]
Dr. Wilson, Aubrey Shifren: - sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Dr. Gregory House: Grow up. And learn to harmonize.

And then OF COURSE the best quote of all:

Dr. Gregory House: Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chitchat later, I'm Doctor Gregory House; you can call me "Greg." I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Short, sweet, grab a file.
Dr. Gregory House: This ray of sunshine is Doctor Lisa Cuddy. Doctor Cuddy runs this whole hospital, so unfortunately she's much too busy to deal with you. I am a board... certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I am also the only doctor currently employed at this hospital who is forced to be here against his will.
[to Lisa]
Dr. Gregory House: That is true, isn't it?
[to crowd]
Dr. Gregory House: But not to worry, because for most of you, this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. Speaking of which, if you're particularly annoying, you may see me reach for this: this is Vicodin. It's mine! You can't have any! And no, I do not have a pain management problem, I have a pain problem... but who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell. So, who wants me?
