lagilmanStill lovin' on "House." Any medical drama that can have a doctor refer to someone deathly ill as "circling the drain" is a show I'm lovin.' And an administrator who doesn't flinch from making a crack about the main character's disability. And said main character then trying to scare off patients by telling them he's taking Vicodan for pain "and no, they can't have any."
And then his studied indifference to humanity flops like a puppy when confronted by a patient who is honest with him and herself about her motives. Awww.
As a plus, the medical mystery intrigued once again, although I'm thinking they're going to need to get a new way of narrowing down the causes, after a few more episodes. He's gonna get force-fed hemlock, if he keeps pushing his team through that particular combination of Socratic method and insults.

Feline update: last night, had two cats on either side of me on the sofa, comfortably and peacefully asleep. This morning at 3:30 there was a major hissing-fit over who got to sleep on the bed with me (easy answer: that's Pandora's spot). I snarled at both of them, thereby reasserting my place in the pecking order and getting silence for a few hours more sleep.
This morning, Pandora stood over me in bed and hissed at Boomer. I'm not sure but I think she was asserting prior ownership rights. Great. What am I, a piece of meat?
(yeah, one that can open the cat food cannister)

Speaking of cats, got this one from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

In the writing news, finished up my copy-edit, finished up a critique I was working on, and am about to start working on the second Grail Quest title. If nothing else, it will be a way to keep the onrushing Enforced Season of Cheerfulness at bay for a little while. Bah. Also humbug.
And it rains. It's December. Isn't that supposed to be snow? Damn it, want snow.
