Ever since I decided to wire cable TV into my daughter’s room, I’ve been able to watch “grown up” tv, like House, MD. House is a big smart arse, IMO, to the extreme… almost annoyingly so.
But I watch it anyway.
During tonight’s episode, House told his patient, “Hope is for sissies”. Very profound, I personally think.
I used to hope for things I never thought would happen. It doesn’t take much effort to hope, but it does to take calculated risks, or even to decide to get up and do something that seems a little scarey,
The fact is that once a person becomes determined to do that thing (or those things) which has previously seemed like a pipe dream, a feeling of profound accomplishment and inner strength arise. Impossibilities open up into possibilities, and really, the world opens up at your feet.
Hope *is* for sissies.

IMO the trick is to have realistic hopes….remember the baby kangaroo! ;o)

Yes, but hopes don’t get you far without some sort of action, right? lol @ the baby kangaroo. 🙂
Phew…..was almost about to send you a comment about using the words ‘spoiler alert’ when mentioning shows but with one eye closed, I realised you’d not given anything away.
Yes I’m not sure why I watch House so avidly either as he really is a miserable, obnoxious self centred sod. But of course THAT’S the whole point.
And for a Brit, seeing comedy actor Hugh Laurie in such a role is reason enough for watching it.
First off – that picture is the background on my mobile phone. 🙂 [I’m guessing that you have not changed the picture to something like a pouting ladyboy with a T-shirt that says “I’m precious” after I post this comment]
Secondly, not seen House except for about the last 45 seconds by accident whilst channel-surfing. I’m told it’s brilliant and Hugh Laurie has been pretty good in several things before so I’m guessing he’s doing well in this too – especially as I am given to understand he employs a passable American accent – something I’m working on although if I remember correctly I’m not actually allowed to try. 😉

SB – I just started watching House. I’m also watching SCRUBS, which is not too bad, either. There IS television outside of Hannah Montana. I’m shocked, really.
Ian – Yes, he sounds perfectly American to me, and yes, you ARE corrrect, as usual. No changing of the accent. 😉
This was a really good photo, IMO… taken in the midst of the thai restaurant after several Leffe’s and other misc alcohol. 🙂 Gem and Fletch were sitting just across from us. 🙂

we *love* house. we missed it this week because we both worked late and forgot to set the tape in the bedroom (we have too many shows on that night to dvr them all!). hopefully it’ll be on itunes and we can catch up this weekend!

Cady – They have House on iTunes? I’ll have to check this out. I’m thinking about seeing if they have the series at Blockbuster.
