Gotta love that House

Didn't catch House on Tuesday -watched it last night. First of all - WHAT'S WITH THE CONTINUED USE OF GRATUITOUS BRAIN SURGERY SHOTS?

Now that I got that off my mind (pun intended), here are my favorite House-isms from this week's episode:

To the parents of a screaming kid boarding the plane: "Give her 20 mg of anti-histamine. It could save her life. Because if she doesn't shut up, I'll kill her. "

House: "Nobody speaks Korean on this plane?"
Cuddy: "I assumed you did."
House: "I know how to ask if his sister's over 18, I just don't think that's going to help."

Hot stewardess: "I'm in New York every Monday"
House: "Are you handicap accessible?"

Mamma Joan Comes Through with the Dirt

Some of you know my mother - she is also named Joan. My mom reads a lot, and lately she seems to know something about everything. So I should not have been surprised, but I was, when she scooped me on some good celebrity gossip.

I'm a huge fan of the show House (although I should have stopped watching in March. The episodes leading up to my surgery all seemed to involve gratuitous brain surgery shots. In one of the episodes, they literally removed half of a man's brain. They showed it being lifted out of his skull for God's sake. I did not need to see that). That Hugh Laurie character just could not be more cynical and snide. He's irresistible.

So I should have known, but did not - Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) and Chase (Jesse Spencer) are a couple in real life. Who knew?! My mom knew, that's who. They got engaged in Paris in January.

PS: Fun fact: Hugh Laurie was the voice over for the babies in several commercials I did for Johnson's Baby. I never got to meet him in person - we used to patch his voice into a NYC recording studio from the UK. He's not at all like House. Quite gracious.
