Yes, yes, let's talk about the weather

(heee! Penzance reference, ahoy!)

Well, thank God, is all I'm gonna say. No, it isn't, but still. Monday night, I check what the weather's going to be like for Tuesday and they tell me the high is 78. It never, not even in the sunniest part of the highest temperature afternoon got to be 78. For some reason my room is astoundingly cooler than other places in the apartment, and my work is freezing most days. We don't even have the AC on yet, but I'm grabbing cups of tea just to keep from shivering. It's ridiculous.

This morning, I see that the high is 77, so I don't make yesterday's mistake, and I wear a fleece. It's beautiful outside. Perhaps a little humid, but it warm. Nice warm, not uncomfortable warm. And sunny, and my God the smell out there--it smells like the best parts of Spring and Summer. And the trees have either stopped copulating for the time being or they're done for the season, so my nose has stopped itching. Hurrah!

Last night's House nearly killed me D-E-D dead. Because House gave Wilson amphetamines in his coffee, and consequently Wilson was more amusing than he's ever, ever been. Wlison got back at House because he'd secretly been slipping House anti-depressants in his coffee for the better part of a week. They are so cutely gay-married-but-not, I can't even tell you. How could I even care about the Patient of the Week or stupid Foreman quitting when Wilson's freaking out so badly he asks House for a Vicodin so his heart doesn't explode!?

Also, hello Piper Perabo. Please, don't take this the wrong way, but: GO AWAY. Anyone remember that girl from Coyote Ugly. Okay, there were a lot of "that girl" from Coyote Ugly. She's the one with the heart-of-gold ::vomits:: who doesn't appreciate her geeky (I know!), cute (damnit!), Australian (FUCKER!) boy-toy (KILL!!!). Anyway, she can't act for crap and the only reason she didn't utterly ruin the movie The Prestige is that she died before it could really get started.

You've already conquered the Jackman, Piper. You put your over-large, droopy lips on Hugh Laurie, AND I WILL RIP THEM OFF.

I still like this one.

And I remain baffled by your hatred of yet another perfectly and absolutely average actress. And her complete and utter mundanity and run-of-the-mill-ness is almost rivaled by her relative obscurity. I don't know what you see in her that's so bad, but really even if it was there, she's been in like three things worth watching, ever...is it even worth the energy?

Paris Hilton is certainly a better candidate for hatred.

(what is that link supposed to show? MySpace confuses me.)

Sigh. I don't really hate her. I mean, it's fun to trump up how much I hate her because she's in a show with Hugh Laurie and no one, not nobody not no-how, is worthy of Hugh Laurie (except possibly Steven Fry, his real-life would-be-gay-married-except-they're-just-British-not-gay gay husband).

Mostly, I hated her character in Coyote Ugly for the reasons I hate the wide-eyed wunderkind in most movies of that ilk. And yes, jealous of her cute, geeky, sweet Aussie boyfriend in it. As an actress, though, she's really just whatever bland to awful in most things. She is now on House for what looks to be only a guest stay (possibly not even extended past last night's ep), and I have to wonder that someone with her so-so features and lack of distinguishing characteristics as a character (she's a vegan and that's all we know about her) is suddenly getting House's attention when he should be hitting on the snarky, gorgeous, intelligent, willful, wonderful Cuddy with whom he actually has chemistry.

It just comes out as hatred for the actress because she's the common thread between two characters I hate.

The link should autoplay a song called "Talk About the Weather" by Jim Boggia, but you're probably at work with no sound.

The fact that you hated her in Coyote Ugly seems almost irrelevant because Coyote Ugly was definitely not one of those few things worth watching. :P

About the only thing she was in that was worth watching was The Prestige. And then only 'cause she wasn't in it for long.
