Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains

Sentence fragment book reviews:
Driven, Eve Kenin: Ice Road Truckers does post-apocalyptic cyberpunk.
Time and Again, Jack Finney: Time travel for history geeks; a bit retro now but fun.

If you're a Highlander completist[1] you should know about the short film w/ Methos, Amanda and Joe. Otherwise, unless you like watching things that probably cost

I hear ya on House. At least the private eye seems gone, although I wouldn't mind him so much if he wasn't playing the exact same character he played as the meth addict who kidnaps David in "Six Feet Under". I really don't want to watch House get down with Cuddy or the continued airing of Thirteen and Taub's personal demons. Ah well.

Driven sounds like fun.

Somehow I missed a couple episodes, and I have no idea where the PI went, or how Wilson was convinced to come back, or why House is supposed to be macking on Cuddy. And I don't really care that much, either, which is a worse sign. I think it was the gratuitous 'watch as the guest sick person's head is almost chopped off with industrial machinery' scene this week that screamed shark-jumping to me.

Driven was fun, if a little pat in its worldbuilding. I just sent it to a bookmooch person, otherwise I would loan it to you.

I watched the episode where it happens and I'm not sure how Wilson came back, other than the obvious "the bromance must return" writing mandate.

House kissed Cuddy and then ran out of the house. So now he's being weird, of course. The thing I hate about this character is there seems to be on the one hand the presumption that he was somewhat normal before the injury, but yet he has all these habits and hang-ups of someone who's never been socially healthy. Ah well.

The PI is presumably out there PI-ing, but not with airtime devoted to it...thank goodness.
