Watched the first four eps of “House.” It was one of those shows where I’d never seen it, and there’s people on my flist who’re nuts about it, and I wanted to know why. I think I might actually like it, although if I’d had to decide on the first episode alone? Not so much. It mostly left me cringing away everytime the camera got close to Robin Tunney (not another seizure and vile camera-dive into her body, please!), and praying that I never ever ever ever got a doctor remotely like any of the people on the show. EVER.

Luckily, it got a lot better after the pilot. There was a rough patch during the second episode, though, with the repeated spinal taps. It brought up some bad, shuddery memories. It also left me confused as to whether no one had bothered to tell the actor what a lumbar puncture is actually like…or if Omar Epps’ character was supposed to be really bad at giving them. Because the kid seemed like he was in pain to me, and. He shouldn’t have been. An LP is very, very scary, and uncomfortable, and…god, it just feels so fucked up. But mostly, its just terrifying, because someone has a needle inside you, and you can’t see them, and DID I MENTION THERE’S A NEEDLE IN YOUR FUCKING SPINE? Bweh. Heebie-jeebies just thinking about it. But, anyway, unless the doctor is a ham-handed quack, it should not hurt. And if he is…my sympathies, because its been over ten years since my second one, and I can still tell exactly where the fucktard did it.

Anyway. Looking forward to seeing more. Here’s hoping there’s no more spinal taps.

In other news…I really want to do a doll for my pyromancer. Part of it is my obsession with having little visual representations of characters mixed with just plain liking dolls. And part of it, I think, is wanting an excuse to attempt to dye a doll. I don’t know how well it would go, to be honest. I think I’d have to remove the head and dye it seperately from the body, just because of the different materials; they’d probably take the dye at different rates and to different degrees.

………do I sound as lame and boring as I think I do?
