Boredom and Defeat

Unfortunately, my great expectations for this week were completely off the mark. After a three week hiatus, we got an episode of House that was....BORING?!?! How can this be? House had an abusive daddy? An abusive daddy that sounded an awful lot like Ralph Fiennes' abusive granny in Red Dragon, don't you think? Ice baths? Being forced to sleep in the yard? Say it ain't so, House! And, I'm not sure how to say this without sounding completely wretched, but I don't think I have ever seen a more annoying rape victim in my life:

Rape Girl: I want to talk
House: What do you want to talk about?
Rape Girl: I don't know
House: Then why do you want to talk to me?
Rape Girl: I don't know

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know - this went on throughout the entire episode. SHUT UP!! This is what we waited three weeks for?!? And the fact that House actually sat and listened? No, no, no, no. I want obnoxious House back PRONTO.

The boredom then continued into last night's Rangers-Leafs game. The good news is that I did not slip in the lobby this time. The bad news is that the Rangers lost and almost put me to sleep. It was that bad. The only thing worth mentioning is the extreme creativity shown by my section when they booed a marriage proposal on GardenVision, "BOOOOO - DON'T DO IT - HE HAS NO MONEY!!!" Anyone who proposes on a large video screen deserves to be booed. As big of a hockey fan as I am, I think that is beyond lame. And cowardly to boot! You have to have large, unattractive text ask the love of your life to marry you? Hell no.
