Really, after last week's stellar episode, I was seriously pissed at last night's House. I think they're trying to milk the angry cop thing way too long. Also, you don't develop phantom pains because your conscience is broken, okay? House isn't that guy with the birthing sympathy pains. And if Wilson doesn't do something, he's not sympathetic. He can't let House walk all over him and his life like this. And the the fuck, Cuddy? You should have threatened to sue the cop for malicious prosecution or persecution or something! He does nothing to House, but harasses his friend to the point where he can't get money, his car is towed, and he's going to be out of a job? On the grounds of risking the lives of Wilson's patients at least there should be a way to go to the cop's precinct and point out that this is going too fucking far.

I swallow a lot of bullshit because House can't be bothered to make medical logic actually interesting (or even to present interesting medical logic nine times out of ten). This is not acceptable. TV viewers are raised on a steady diet of Law & Order and C.S.I., so they know there should be about three hundred billion legal roadblocks or alternate routes of appeal that would keep half of this crap from ever happening. What kind of monkey-shit lawyer has Wilson got that he doesn't try to fight malicious acts like this cop is perpetrating and instead tells Wilson to rat out House? I especially don't like it because it completely ruins the cop's ability to be the check on House. He oversteps his bounds like this, and why should House listen to him?

I get to use my House icon for this because it's both medical and appropriate, reaction-wise.

What. The. Fuck?

Eyelash implants. Okay, fine, you know what? I knew these things existed. Know what I didn't know? THAT YOU HAVE TO TRIM YOUR GODDAMNED EYELASHES BECAUSE THEY IMPLANT REGULAR HAIR FOLLICLES INTO YOUR EYELIDS.

Know what I didn't need to know? See above.

The picture in my Newsweek doesn't make this look like it has enviable results, either. The ones online aren't very close up, but they have closeups in the magazine, and it looks like the eyelash equivalent of a comb-over: there are few stragly long eyelashes and not really much else. I'm sure it gets better when it's healed more, but really, ugh. Besides, I don't know that I have the thick kind of hair that I would get any benefit from having serve as my eyelashes. Might be better served taking strips of eyebrow hair, as that grows faster and is thick enough to serve, but if you're vain enough to want eyelash implants, you probably don't want a scar on your face where someone ripped out a bit of eyebrow. Because that, clearly, unlike this, would be fucking gross. OH WAIT, I LIED ABOUT THAT--THIS IS FUCKING GROSS.

How adorable is this? The Japanese girl who was come over to study with the other lab for two months happened to notice the bottle of lotion I kept on my desk and the fact that I keep a Bath and Body Works bag on my bench (it's for transporting samples, but it was originally from a purchase), and she gave me bath crystals from Japan. We barely know each other, other than a few jokes when everyone in lab is goofing off and saying hi and bye each day she's been here. What a darling!
