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 poshContinue reading “On the House Finale”

On Emma Thompson and House
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”
On Elbow’s Late Night Appearance
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 closeContinue reading “On Elbow’s Late Night Appearance”
On Redecoration
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 aContinue reading “On Redecoration”
On the Return of House
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, forContinue reading “On the Return of House”
On Across the Universe Musings
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 DVDContinue reading “On Across the Universe Musings”
On House and The Beatles
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 mindContinue reading “On House and The Beatles”
On James Spader’s Emmy Win
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 beenContinue reading “On James Spader’s Emmy Win”
On the House Season Finale
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 WindowsContinue reading “On Recent Search Phrases”
