Chapter 336 - Christmas....?
My Thursday dinner time entertainment is now House, which is showing on Five (internet TV banzai!), and I just found out that it's actually four months behind. The Season 4 finale in the US was last week! Damn... So well, it's only episode 10 here in the UK, so it's kinda weird watching a Christmas episode of House in May?
But well, I have to take my hat off to the casting for House... it's brilliant - not only do they have good actors, but good looking ones as well.... *drools*
the eleven-year old star of the episode. (and no... she's too young for me.)
The man himself. I hear there's a boat in my boathouse called Hugh Laurie, which belongs to Selwyn (where Hugh Laurie was from). I gotta check it out and take a picture of it...
Cameron and Foreman. Everytime I hear Foreman, I think of Eric Foreman from That 70s Show (watched it when I was doing my project in Ireland). Boy, I miss those days in the cottage...

Chapter 321 - Differential Diagnosis
House (the TV series) is now my official dinner time entertainment. It's so incredible. If I'd watched it when I was little, I'm sure I'd have become a doctor. ;p And for the record, I'm watching it off DVD.
I've just checked out Hugh Laurie (Dr House)'s biography on Wikipedia (here) and I must say he's led quite an exciting life. He went to Selwyn College, Cambridge (they share the same boathouse as Churchill), and was an oarsman - and a darned good one at that, having won the National Junior Championship (coxed pair), and was awarded a BLUE status when he rowed against Oxford in 1980 (they lost by five feet - i.e. DAMN close).
Not inspired yet? Go watch it for yourself then. (I've got lots of catching up to do - I'm only halfway through Season 1, and it's up to Season 4 at the moment...)

Chapter 287 - Choir Boys
A series of short and random posts I'm afraid. Can't help it that much really... ;p
I was at Xi-lin's place today and we were watching tele after dinner, and we watched "The Choir: Boys Don't Sing" - a documentary about this guy called Gareth, who goes to Lancaster school and tries to revive the choir and the singing culture in the school. It's a sort of teacher-type reality drama you might say. It's actually really inspiring I though, to see the trials and tribulations of a (musical) educator. (I'm not even gonna try and describe it, cos I think I really suck at that).
There's a brief blurb on it at the BBC website. Unfortunately, I don't think it's out on DVD yet, but maybe someone will rip it off TV, so you might find it somewhere... But it's definitely worth getting a copy of. I hope I manage to catch part 2 of 4 next week (it's 1/4 today).
And on the topic of educators, I've started a placement at The Netherhall School! Very excited about it. I went there on Tuesday and it was such a wonderful feeling to be back in a school. It was very similar to what I did during my last summer break when I was attached to Dunman Sec - had a wonderful time there as well. :) So yes, I'll be there till the rest of this term, so I'll keep updating.
