1. I love the nights when Chanukah falls on Shabbas. So many candles. So lovely. Love love love.
2. Finally watched House 7x08, and it made me wonder...
Why write out Cameron if they were just going to bring her right back in the guise of Masters? I'm just saying, is all.
3. I... may have a job lined up? There's some PhD/published author guy that lives in my building, and apparently he's been looking for someone to help him with secretary work, and the building manager gave him my name since I study ~writing~. I don't really know what this supposed job would entail and I know next to nothing about the guy, but resume building + money = nice thoughts. And if next term is anywhere near as laidback as this one was, I would jump at the chance to have something else to do with my time. Although something tells me next term won't be quite as easy, since I'm anticipating that upper-div Dante will be more work intensive than lower div-Psych. Still, though. This is potentially exciting news.
4. WHY AM I ONLY LEARNING NOW THAT NUMBER ONE AND NURSE CHAPEL WERE PLAYED BY THE SAME PERSON? I JUST. HOW DID I NEVER KNOW THAT? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
