*Nods sagely, brow knit with concern* All seems vaguely normal thus far Dr.. Will you be plotting a graph of your findings?

I could plot Sanity vs. Time on a graph!
I will perhaps create a collage of photos at the end of it, chronicling his slow, depraved slide into becoming a CTHULOID!

If he doesn’t survive, at least you’d have an entertaining coroners report.

All I know is that normally, when we return on Monday, his mother normally holds his limp body in his hands and shouts ‘WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY SON?!’

Funny. And I also like how you mad it so elaborate with the style and everything. Very thorough!

I am Dr Seb! I’m the one that actually manages to keep his sanity…
The only time I lost it was at university, when I went from Friday 8am to Monday 2am without sleeping — I started hallucinating then — aural and visual. Was pretty creepy

I’m really looking forward to this season’s finale!
Plus, Hugh Laurie is English… (Do all the Americans know that?)

The same teacher referenced in ‘Let’s talk about sex‘ was the one that actually taught me to handwrite!

From what I understand, his American accent and characterisation was so good that when he did the audition, they actually thought he was American!
As far as I know, that’s a true story.
Also, there’s a scene in series 3 or 4 where he puts on an English accent… he even does ‘An American doing an English Accent’. What a pro.
Go and watch Blackadder if you haven’t already btw — that’s pretty much where he began.

It is really good! I’m still mad that he hasn’t won an Emmy…or did he get one this year? I know he was nominated a bunch of times and didn’t win which was total crap in my opinion.
p.s. I LOVE his eyes.
sebastian
Apr 11, 2009
Nope! Still no Emmys, as far as I know. He has some Golden Globes I think… and the show has won some awards, I am sure. Pretty amazing for a show that goes absolutely no where… other than develop the relationship between House and Wilson! (And some of the scripting is truly awesome)
He has nice eyes. But brown eyes are where it’s AT…

You Brits and your superfluous vowels. It’s “judgment.” And armor. And color. And aluminum–even if that defies elemental conventions.
sebastian

Aluminum actually makes some sense, as it’s smelted from alumina!
It’s not just vowels… Travelled, fuelled, etc!
Sometimes it looks better (like fueled), but other times it’s just plain annoying — judgment looks nasty without an E.
I always find it amusing when an American gets antsy at vowel-sounds and pronounciation, especially considering they hang on so tightly to the few French-rooted words they use (like fillet). I’ve actually had an American come to England and say, in a posh restaurant, ‘it’s fillAY damnit, fillAY!’
Frackin’ Americans.

I had no idea. That must have been several years ago, though, right? Because now it’d be freedom-let.
sebastian

Hehe. Well, almost every other word you hardened and ‘Americanised’. Over here, we still pronounce quite a few words with a kind of ‘French’ tone, but we definitely pronounce it ‘fill-it’.
I think the immense irony of being American is only truly shown by the whole ‘Freedom Fries’ debacle. I presume most Americans now know this, but… French Fries aren’t French. The Belgians claim they invented them, and even the French agree they came from Belgium!
The ‘French’ comes from ‘Frenched’: a method of frying.
Obviously, someone in the White House (or whoever suggested they be called ‘Freedom Fries’) didn’t know that

In the US there is a food chain called ‘Chicken Fill-A’.
It was years before I realised ( with an ‘s’) that it meant ‘Chicken Fillet’, I just thought it was a weird way of writing ‘filler’!

They make a good chicken burger though. Those Christians know what they’re doing!
