Or at least its tuner. Think the TV license guy will accept this?

Last week I discovered House MD. I submit that there is no greater spectacle than the quintessentially British Hugh Laurie playing a cranky un-shaven American cripple (Englishmen called Hugh continue to soften up American women for the rest of us!). Apparently he shocked and stunned US audiences when he accepted some kind of award with his regular accent.

So much is its appeal that I only have seven episodes left before I run the fuck out – reducing me to a whole week between fixes like the rest of the great unwashed. Thankfully, I have plenty more to keep me occupied~

Indeed, this week, I am mostly watching: Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, Veronica Mars, Scrubs and Teachers. I’m also reading enough monthly, quarterly and in one case weekly ( I <3 52) comics that I shan’t go hungry, even if certain titles tend to lag a bit (Desolation Jones, I’m looking at you).

Also: I’m playing laptop Russian roulette. Turns out my Powerbook caught some of those dodgy Sony batteries that are going around. Apple’s posting me a new one but four to six weeks is a long time in politics, never mind when you’re spinning the chamber every time you check your email.
