Greg House and Our House
Last weekend, Mark and I stayed up all night on Saturday so we could finish the first season of House on DVD. We were in the staying up all night groove after the midnight showing of Harry Potter IV on Thursday. I had seen the premiere of House last year and I deemed it to be a cross between ER and CSI. While I love Hugh Laurie, I wasn't that impressed. Luckily (and with some prodding from Jess), I came back for a second try sometime later that first season and concluded it deserves 'thumbs up'. We've agreed that the plot lines are fairly formulaic, and we've taken to high-fiving each other during the point of every episode when some member of Dr. House's team takes to breaking in to the patient's apartment, home, or purse to look for the one thing the patient has neglected to divulge. Just the same, the writing is amusing even if I can predict every pituitary tumor and parasite 20 minutes before it's discovered on the MRI/CAT/Body scan.
It is 4am and the turkey is in the oven. I awoke to discover our first real snowfall since we've moved to Pumpkin Hill. Quite amazing. I've been meaning to post some pictures of our house, and well, what else seems that important at 4am?
This was taken in our basement. It's very cool down there as the walls are made up of stones from the property and the only mortar is the (new) cement floor.
This is one small slice of our kitchen...get it? Slice??
This is a view of our dining room fireplace which has been referred to by some as 'a walk-in fireplace'.
In the front of the house is an interesting room that we've chosen to line with bookcases and use as our library. With all of the reading, research, homework, and projects, it gets a lot of use by all of us.
Three views of our family room. The murals incorporate some of the beams in the room and depict birds which are native to our part of the state. They were painted in 1994 by an artist commissioned by the previous owner.
It will most likely be a while before I get around to photographing some of the other rooms. In the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys the way they've chose to celebrate Thanksgiving. I know I will.

onomatopoeia and then some
Jessye's home from college and it's just like old times. We've set the table and done some of the cooking for Thanksgiving. We're watching Napolean Dynamite (again)...it always holds it's appeal. Jessye's put her hair in a side ponytail and i'm thinking that i should find colorforms for everyone on my christmas list. Doesn't everyone want colorformsxf4ecttrcfrcvgtwe3j i8k vbnyh8uj11ber
(M decided to express himself by sweeping a hand across the keyboard. I think that says it all.)
