How have I never watched House before? That show is awesome. Hugh Laurie owns my soul. I mean, what's it's regular time slot, Tuesdays @ 9? That's after Gilmore Girls. Seriously, owns my soul.

I'm almost done with my Teyla ficathon fic. Maybe 500 words to go. I'm still iffy on the whole thing - not used to writing Teyla or John all that much, but then that's the glory of the challenge right? Break out of comfort zones. Well, that and I'm iffy on the actually story, but who's ever prompt I got didn't provide much direction. So with no direction comes introspection from this author. And I'm maybe 1/3 to 1/2 done the reel_sga fic. But I reached a bit of a brain pause on that one, so writing the Teyla fic out of the way is a good diversion and hopefully Bing and Bob, er, Shep & McKay, will return to my brain asap.

And now that stagesoflove is over with, I feel like I need another small little prompt to work on when my brain pauses. Enter delgaserasca and her little quoteathon ficathon Here. You sign up and she gives you a quote. No hassle, no pressure, just let the quote inspire some fic in a fandom of your choice. Don't like your quote? Ask for another. No pressure but really quality quotes to stumble on. For some reason, I got a real itch to try writing some The West Wing fic, because oddly enough for all the time I've been a fan of the show and a fannish person in general, I've never written TWW fic. Which honestly, I feel is just a travesty that I should attempt to rectify. And since I'm a sucker, I plucked up one for SGA too. I'm happy with the quotes and I think I have ideas - well, definately an idea for TWW and I think the beginnings of an idea for SGA. Nothing long, nothing that would take more than a couple hours to write, but something fun. Go sign up, get a quote, write some fic. Fic makes me happy :)

And since I'm in the mood for sharing, the quotes I got that will be the basis of my fics are:

Stargate Atlantis: Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee and just as hard to sleep after. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

The West Wing: Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life story. ~ John Barth

Seriously, how fitting are those? I love 'em.

mmmm... gotta love the hugh laurie action going on there. i've been hooked on 'house' from the start. i saw hugh laurie in the promos and BAM!

What season are we on? How many boxes do I need to be on the lookout for at the Blockbuster here? *lol*

Because honestly, I want to go out and rent some of this. It happened totally by accident too. Just flipped on the tv for some noise and left it on whatever channel it was on, which happened to be Fox and which happened to be House and all of a sudden I hear snarking. Quality, mean spirited snarking and I tell you - I fell in love. And I need more.

i understand completely. house's snarking is top rate. you know, even my mildly anti-tv dad loves to watch this show; that's how amazing it is.

they've just finished season 2 and season 3 will start up in september. i know that season 1's been out on dvd for a while because i've seen it at target whenever i go through their dvd selections (haven't bought it yet... but we'll probably get it in the near future knowing my family!).

He's mean to the patients, which for someone who grew up in and around hospitals, is soooo refreshing. I mean, I know I've wanted to say things to sick people that you're not supposed to cause they're 'sick'. I love him. This is why I need On Demand or something like that. I see something I like and pull out my handy cable remote and go 'show me all of House, like, now' and BAM have it pop up.

*plans to stalk Blockbuster tomorrow evening*

[aoife-hime.livejournal.com]

that's a great plan. i want to see the dvd's just in case they have even five minutes of behind the scenes footage. i mean, hugh laurie on screen is amazing enough, but... behind the scenes... i might die laughing.

there was this one scene in the clinic in season 1 (i think)... the woman didn't know she was pregnant. the way he explained it to her was priceless.

I never would have guessed that you didn't already watch House. Yay for starting, though, that's v. exciting.

Which honestly, I feel is just a travesty that I should attempt to rectify.

I agree!

After watching it, I'm surprise I didn't already watch it! It's fantastic.

And the best part about finding something this fantastic that's been on a while? Gorging yourself with a season marathon to catch up :)

Totally.
I only started watching in January (February?) so I got to do the same thing!
There's really nothing like discovering a new show/fandom like that. Eeee.

"Hellooo, sick people! And their loved ones. I'm Dr. Gregory House, you can call me Greg. I'm one of the three doctors staffing the clinic this morning. I am a BOARD [pointed look at Cuddy] certified diagnostician with a double-specialty in Infectious Diseases and Nephrology. I am also the only doctor held here against his will - that is true, isn't it? But not to worry, because for most of you this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. Speaking of which, if you're particularly boring, you may see me reach for this. [shows pill bottle] This is Vicodin. It's mine. You can't have any. And no, I do not have a pain management problem, I have a pain problem. But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm TOO STONED to tell. So... Who wants me? And who would rather wait for one of the other two guys?"

(or something like that...)

You know you love it.

OMG I love it!
