"Everything's conditional. You just can't always anticipate the conditions."

Dr. Chase: [about House] He thinks outside the box. Is that so evil?
Dr. Foreman: He has no idea where the box is!

House is the awesomemest show ever. and i always feel smarter after watching it because i understand 65-70% of the medical jargon (:

on the other hand, if i want to feel like leonardo da vinci, i watch Spell Cast. happened to catch my first episode (very likely the last) last night on channel 5, and i've concluded that our little ones are getting dumber every year. -watches my theory of milk formulas and superhumans on this island fly out yonder window-

it's too easy. i thought it'd be full of obscure words and nervous 10 year olds mixing up their E's and A's. why don't they spell out the whole word? makes it much harder definitely. OH and hello, just because the word is long doesn't mean it's instantly level 1983647235.

10 seconds to spell a word can be nerve-wrecking. but 10 seconds for MCQ! and the wrong answers are screaming "i'm wrong! i'm wrong! pick the one next to me!" and the goondus pick the screaming one. go back and read a proper dictionary this time laaaah. your primary two spelling list doesn't quite cut it.

maybe im being harsh. they're 11 or 12, nerve-wrecked, and half the island is sitting at home calling them stupid/kayu or both. so the producers give them a chance to y'know, look smart- give them easy words.. but there was one kid.

TIMBU_TU, fill in the single letter. and he/she put an impossible letter, i think it was N or T. can't remember what it was, was too aghast. someone ship (i think it was a her) her off to africa please. and don't bother labelling the box 'fragile', nothing a few knocks should rid her of.

my mom was like, what happened to all the brainiest kids! yeah, those kids were smart. since i've watched house for today already, i shall satisfy myself by reading quotes; they really are very funny.

and oh. haha sarah, at least that's what xavier said.



see, the gas tap was on, and the lighter was seconds away from lighting the stove. then i think xavier's guardian angel must've kicked him real hard in the head, because that was a close call. if it was played in slow-mo, he would have gone "NOOOO..." in this low voice and his hand outstretched and falling forward.

anyway, he relieved me of the lighter and said "you want to blow up the church ah?"
