charliesmumI think the fact my birthday is on a Wednesday makes it slightly depressing. Not really 'depressing' actually it's just that it is smack dab in the middle of the week, people are working, nothing is going on. Doesn't feel like a special day. And it ought to be, because after all it is MY birthday and I am the center of the universe.
Anyway...Last night's episode reminded me quite a bit of this movie we watched when I was in High School called An Occurance at Owl Creek Ridge. I can't help but wonder if it was deliberate. In the movie, (as we learned in my super English class with this amazing teacher called Dr. Dwyer) throughout the entire thing our belief gets suspended, and it isn't until the end, when the truth is revealed, does the audience realise all the things that happened in the film were slightly illogical.
That's exactly what happened in House. Logically, there would be no way they would put an attempted murderer in the same room with his victim, and there'd be at least an armed guard there. The ducklings were way quicker on the uptake than they usually are and didn't, as was eventually point out, argue any points. And House would never punch Wilson. Maybe. I want to watch it again, and try to find the bits that indicate it truly is in his mind.
The PToW was also totally unrealistic, but since the medicine on this show is rather spotty at times, I'm not sure that counts.
But throughout the whole thing, even when we knew some of it was hallucinations, we went along with it, because it was done in a way that helped us suspend our disbelief. Or belief. Whatever.
It was a totally gross episode, so I'm glad it wasn't real. All the body parts exploding and stuff. Icky.
The thing with Cameron on the table was kinda sexy though. So now we know what goes through House's mind re: Cameron.
And finally, someone noticed that his birthdate is listed on his wristband as June 11, 1959, and apparently that is Hugh Laurie's birthday. So yay. Fellow Gemini.
Charlie just came in and asked me when the party is going to be for my birthday.
