I didn’t watch the final season of House; I decided that House putting his car through Cuddy’s living room window at the end of the seventh season was an action that couldn’t really be walked back. But I did watch the finale last night (and the retrospective that preceded it — I’d forgotten how posh … Continue reading On the House Finale

Emma Thompson received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, flanked by Nanny McPhee costar Maggie Gyllenhaal and Cambridge classmate and House star Hugh Laurie. Seeing Thompson and Laurie together reminds me, besides Peter’s Friends (which I’ve not seen in far too long), of a House story I would love to see. … Continue reading On Emma Thompson and House
Elbow is performing tonight on the Late Show with David Letterman. From an e-mail I received from the band a few weeks ago: Elbow On Letterman - July 29th Great news! Elbow will be live on the ‘Late Show With David Letterman’ on July 29th. The band will join Dave in the studio to close … Continue reading On Elbow’s Late Night Appearance
It’s spring. I’m feeling the itch. The itch, that is, to vary up the look of the website. So, I created a custom stylesheet to overlay formatting styles on top of Tarski. I’ve done this before; that was how my Doctor Who look two years ago worked. Tarski was the underlying code, and then a … Continue reading On Redecoration
House is back. Oh, how I’ve missed it. I read in this morning’s paper that Hugh Laurie is signed with the series through the 2010-2011 season. So, two more years, through the seventh season. And now that House is back… I thought the episode was… okay. There’s no reason, that I can discern, for keeping … Continue reading On the Return of House
I stopped by Best Buy yesterday afternoon. I saw online that they had special swag for the DVD release of Across the Universe. Naturally, I was interested. It’s a good week for Across the Universe. Monday was Across the Univere Day — NASA beamed the song, “Across the Universe” at Polaris. Tuesday, the DVD hit … Continue reading On Across the Universe Musings
Let’s rewind a few days. Back to Tuesday. House returned to FOX on Tuesday for its final three episodes of the fourth season with a Very Special Christmas Episode. Unlike previous Very Special Christmas Episodes, Dr. Gregory House didn’t OD himself into oblivion. He had case. He had his new team. He had new mind … Continue reading On House and The Beatles
Last night James Spader won his third Emmy in four years for his work as ethically-challenged attorney Alan Shore from Boston Legal. Spader, I thought, didn’t have a particularly challenging year as Shore — he was sidelined through much of the first half of the season, ironically due to a storyline that would have been … Continue reading On James Spader’s Emmy Win
It’s tonight people. Tonight, tonight, tonight. No, I don’t have spoilers. No, I don’t know anything about it. Except that it’s tonight. Followed by the Boston Legal season finale. Score!
Stat time once more! Here’s a random factoid. In the past two weeks, which is what the server report I pulled this morning covers, twice as many people accessed The World According to Allyn with Windows 3.1 machines as by Amiga machines. I’m just amazed there are people out there, doing the Internet-thing, with Windows … Continue reading On Recent Search Phrases
I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I will not get medieval on someone’s ass. I am tired of people who think Doctor Who is a series about Rose. Excuse me, but Doctor Who survived a long damn time before Rose Tyler, and it’s going to … Continue reading On Taking Deep Breaths
Spoilers, obviously. The last scene made me think of Minority Report, frankly. I think we’ve entered phildickian territory, House died of his overdose, and the final scene (and everthing beyond it) is just House’s final thoughts before the end. So at this point, whatever happens doensn’t matter. It’s just a dream. That’s my story, and … Continue reading On Last Night's House
