In The House

He's back! The best anti-hero of all time, Dr. Gregory House *rapturous applause*


House-isms:

"Everybody lies."


“Ideas are not soda cans. Recycling sucks.”


“No, if you talk to God you’re religious. If God talks to you, you’re psychotic.”


“Awesome. A sex fiend with a swollen tongue. Think of all the places I can make Foreman search.”


Cameron – “What are you looking for?”
House – “Same as you. Love, acceptance, a solid return in investment.”


Chase – “We’ve got an MRI scheduled in twenty minutes. Earliest Foreman could get the machine.”
House – “I teach you to lie and cheat and steal and the second my back is turned you wait in line!”


Cameron: Men should grow up.
House: And dogs should stop licking themselves, but it isn't gonna happen.


Dr. House: [talking to Wilson about a patient and quickly changing the subject as he sees Dr. Cuddy coming] —the cutest little tennis outfit! My God, I thought I was going to have a heart attack! Oh my! I didn't see you there - That is so embarrassing...
Dr. Cuddy: How's your hooker doing?
Dr. House: Oh, sweet of you to ask, funny story, she was going to be a hospital administrator, but hated having to screw people like that.

The End To A Saga

This book was to be the one that finally provided an end to an epic story that has lasted over 2 decades. The grandfather of the science fiction genre, Frank Herbert's universe has kept countless minds enthralled in a reality where Sandworms were worshipped and spice was the currency. Where the noble Artreides and evil Harkonnen families feuded. Where politics always brought with it the danger of the poison tipped dagger. Frank Herbert made you fall in love with loyal Duncan Idaho and despise the twisted Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. He made you admire the Fremen for their tenacity while living in the harsh deserts of Dune as well as awe at the ferocity of their Fedykin warriors.

When Brian Herbert announced that he had found a chest of notes belonging to his late father that hinted to how Frank Herbert wished to end the saga, fans of the Dune universe were electrified. They might as well have gone on holding their collective breaths. This book felt like it was going on forever, lost and without any direction, before reaching the last 10th and then realising it all has to come to an end it dropped all plots... before hitting you with a plot twist so big you could see it from chapter 2 of the book. It was a total waste of time. Such a shame, for the legendary Dune and its Sandworms to end on an incredibly weak note.

It was very nice for Brian Herbert to try to finish his father's award winning series. Brian Herbert is an accomplished writer in his own sense, having published a few novels and such. But this time, he might have stepped into shoes too large for him. Namely his father's.

One Never Forgets How To Smoke

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

A Fremen's Love Song

"Tell me of thine eyes
And I will tell thee of thy heart.
Tell me of thy feet
And I will tell thee of thy hands.
Tell me of thy sleeping
And I will tell thee of thy waking.
Tell me of thy desires
And I will tell thee of thy need."

Choose your poison

After a conversation with the bartender at Tribeca, she told me that Frangelico is actually quite a hard liquer to work with because of its strong and overpowering taste. Other than the usual suspects Baileys, Coke and Sprite, she didn't really know any other cocktails with Frangelico in them. This is also probably why most pubs and clubs don't carry Frangelico too.... much to my dismay.

Therefore, in an effort to spread the hazelnut love, I present a few recipes I've found online for everyone to try. Go suggest them to your friendly neighbourhood bartender the next time you visit!

1.Better Than Sex recipe:

It's the little things

It's always the little things and touches that count for the most, isn't it? Like how this glass potpourri defines the finishing touches to my new room. Remembering to wish people on their birthdays. Saying goodbye. It's these little packets of effort that reach the deepest and give the most warmth.
