sqbr: And yet all I can think is this will make for a great livejournal entry. (livejournal)

So I stopped watching "House" early last season, and all I've encountered since then has been via fandom, ie bits of fanfic etc here and there, and some comments about how the writers are quite clearly pandering to fans and slashers etc. I was pretty sure it was still pretty understated (if not entirely in people's imaginations) though.

And then I randomly flipped channels to commercial tv for a change, and hit a trailer for the upcoming episode (8:30 on ten, if you care), which basically implied that House becomes obsessed with a male soap opera star and kidnaps him for his own nefarious purposes, a la Love and Death on Long Island. I sat there incredulous.. and then of course looked it up online.

Alas, the real plot, as exhibited by the american ad, is much less interesting :)

On the ohtr hand, how awesome is it that I can watch an ad and immediately find a synopsis of the episode and a similar ad for the same episode. I love the internet.

So, yeah, anything I missed please let me know (I'm aware of the scifi channel thing, pity it's not the real scifi channel) Anyone who wants our new address desperately please email me, I'll probably propagate it at some point but just spent the day cleaning and can't find anyones email addresses (and most of the ones I thought I had turn out to be wrong) and am very sleepy.

And now...a rest, and then dinner in a box, and then some of the finest tv shows the internet has to offer.

Part of the process of moving means....no phone! And...NO INTERNET!!! For ages!!! (Like, a week, maybe more) From tomorrow.

God, I can feel the withdrawal already. Thankfully I have internet at work, though I don't get much chance to use it unless I come in early on purpose. So...yeah. Try not to forget I exist :( And our email may bounce, and our website will be down until it's all set up, so really all I'll have is lj. SIGHHHHH.

Anyway, house is ok. Bigger, except for the almost non existent dining room. Further from train, but hopefully walkable. Will have to have a housewarming at some point.

*tries to motivate self to answer email while I still can*

Feeling utterly buggered due to release from stress, work, and eating a rather large and midly alcoholic(*) dinner. But I felt like telling people :) Do not expect my socialness etc to increase until we're actually moved in, which won't be for a bit.

Part of me is loath to mention it until we sign the papers so I don't jinx it, but since that would mean lying to the neighbours and friends I'll be encountering between now and Monday I may ignore that impulse :)

House is two stops up the train line, one bedroom bigger. Um...yeah, that'll have to do for now. *zonks*

(*)There was like, two whole teaspoons worth in my dessert I'm sure! I'm still in denial about the woozy disconectedness I experience with such small amounts of alcohol, I mean there's being a cadbury and then there's being a Kinder.(**)

(**)I realise this is backwards and I don't care.
