    House

    Okay, I just cannot get into House. My problem is an odd one. I have watched Hugh Laurie (House) on British tele for so long, that whenever I see his character as "House" I see Bertie Wooste, from Jeeves & Wooster instead or the pampered prince from Black Adder, even his short part in Sense and Sensability. Although usually whenever I see him, my brain automatically "sees" Bertie Wooster. Anyone else like to read any of P.J. Wodehouse's novels?

    I totally had the same issue but I persevered and am now completely addicted to House.

    I'm able to seperate him from the Black Adder and Jeeves and Wooster cuz it's been so long since I've seen either.

    Guess what we're watching again tonight!?

    Disc #2 of our 6 disc set! Wooo-hooo!

    I watch Jeeves and Wooster repeats every Saturday night on PBS. We have Black Adder on DVD. I love Black Adder.

    I read this story in the New York Times today, about a tiny corporate jet that was flying over somewhere in the Amazon. Something hit it- clipped off the wing and the tail. They miraculously found a hidden military airstrip in the middle of the jungle, and landed. Hours later, they found out they were hit by the commercial airliner- which crashe in the jungle with no survivors. It should have been the other way around, logically. Some think that the pilot of the big commercial jet made a drastic move to avoid the collision- saving the small jet. Pretty...I don't know, incredible? Not everything is bad.

    ...but if it was a big commercial airliner, wouldn't it have maybe three or four times the number of people on it than the small jet?

    I LOVE all this snake stuff.

    Anyone watch "The Closer"? We are big fans.

    My brother in law is forever persecuting us about watching "The Wire", also. We did watch one episode and liked it.

    yes, there were over 100 people that died on that flight. It was just the article described the experience of the survivors.

    very scary and strange.
