The only thing I can say about this week's House is that it felt entirely too rushed. Very much like two or more episodes crammed into one. It left me feeling vaguely unsatisfied even though I liked quite a few elements of it and Hugh Laurie was, as always, brilliant. Also it has confirmed for me just how scary a place House's brain is. Really, really scary.

Anyway it struck me as decidedly "Eh."

What else is going on? Well, I haven't made this public knowledge yet, so here goes, I'm looking at houses. Yeah, I'm considering buying a house out here. Nothing fancy, just a little mobile home with enough space for me and the cats that I'd have a hope of paying off in the not too distant future. It does mean going into debt again, but if I could spend about the same amount to purchase a place as I do in rent, it'd be worth it. Fortunately elo_sf has agreed to give me a hand in the search and between our shared tastes and pragmatism I suspect we'll find something workable. In the meantime I'm in no huge rush to leave my current place. I like it here, love my little garden, even my neighbors are sweet and the location couldn't be better.

Still, it seems like now's the time to buy if I'm going to and my job seems pretty stable, so...

So that's what's been keeping me busy these days, sorry if I haven't been posting quite so much.

Good Luck with the house-hunt. My honey is a wonderful consultant for such things.

I was wondering when you would start looking for a house to be honest! Have you seen Star Trek yet?!

No I'm thinking I'll wait until next weekend to see ST rather than this one. I've got a party and some more house hunting scheduled for this weekend already. I assume you guys have seen it already? What did you think?

We really enjoyed it, we had a posse of 12 people and everyone loved it! JJ comes up with a really clever time-travel plot device that basically hits the reset button on the whole Classic Trek universe. Urban as McCoy is the sh*t! Simon as Scottie = win. Some stuff you really won't see coming!
