Aug. 1st, 2006 07:38 pmOh god House just broke me. Ep's about some crazy homeless woman and Foreman has a bunch of pictures she drew, and oh god it's great. I shall endeavor to paraphrase.
(picture of a cactus in a desert)
House: Philadelphia. Lovely skyline. Very evocative. Look, the Chrysler Building!
Foreman or maybe it was Chase: That's a cloud.
Cameron: And the Chrysler Building is in New York.
House: Eh, I'm getting Philly. And this cactus? It's a wrecked car.
Cameron: A cactus in Philadelphia?
(switches pages)
House: Water is October, right?
Wilson: Obviously.
House: And the page number is 22, so she was in a car accident on October 2, 2002.
Wilson: My goodness, was she okay?
House: Broke her arm, and they set it with this. ::holds up a bit of metal:: Surgical pin. Better than a wallet. Serial numbers in case of recall, tied to a patient's name.
Oh god Wilson playing along with it the BEST THING EVER

Aug. 1st, 2006 09:29 pmI am making a vest. I really have no good reason to need a vest, but I am making one anyway. It's all Cameron's fault; her little vests are too cute. It's also Jeeves' fault, as I rather hope that by wearing a neat little vest I will pick up some of his better properties via vest mojo (this is a scientific fact, which you can read in any encyclopedia). I've made the lining as my toile, out of a really cheap, heavyweight synthetic double-sided satin from the Walmart clearance rack. It is black. I've done my fittings and basted it together, and tomorrow I will cut the fashion fabric (another really cheap Walmart clearance find, this some sort of cotton-blend twill-weave suiting in a dark charcoal). I bought some buttons for the front (it will button all the way up to the collar, so that I can leave the top two or three undone with my shirt-ruffle tucked through the gap) and a couple of the next-size-down button of the same pattern for pockets - I know I need a watch pocket, as I have a pocketwatch, but I am as yet undecided as to whether I want to build the pocket in to the darts on the front with no button on, or simply add a patch pocket to the front with a button on (and in that instance should it be one pocket for one watch, or two for the sake of symmetry?). I will need to go out and find some sort of buckle for the strap in the back, since I am not flexible enough to fit darts behind my own back yet need some way of fitting it properly so you can actually see my waist.
Opinions on the pocket issue eagerly solicited.
