Just when I thought "House" was the first show set in NJ that didn't make any bad references to my great home state, I was wrong!
In last night's season 3 finale, which had the typical twists and turns in a season finale, Dr. House is asked by his divinely revived patient where she is. While some may say "C'mon, he gives a straight answer" I disagree. This is House we're speaking of, he has a smart mouth answer for EVERYONE.
Here's why I love "House":
1. Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard create a vital dramatic chemistry honed by their many years as versatile actors.
2. Every episode has a twist that makes you wait until the last moments for resolution. That's dramatic writing at its finest.
3. It's the only show I need complete silence for, I can't stand to miss a moment of dialogue.
4. It's already in syndication, yipee!
5. It's set in my favorite town in NJ, Princeton.
Of all the season finales I've watched the past 2-3 weeks, it was certainly not disappointing and actually left me content for the summer hiatus.

Back in the Saddle Again
This is the first summer in a long time I haven't made plans to go away. The main reason is I just put down a bit of money to buy my first car, a 2007 Honda Civic in Taffetta White (why should I have to say white after it, women would know it's white). She is the new love of my life, I'm indebted to her for the next 60 months.
The second reason is I was invited to go to Miami sometime this summer with the guy I was seeing at the time. I was getting uncertain about us actually going even though I had the money for the tickets taken care of (companion air voucher) because he was hemming and hawing about when. It was this regular pattern of uncertainty that forced me to call a DTR (define the relationship). The result led to him dumping me a few days after my birthday and right after April Fools. I wish it was a joke at first but now weeks later I'm relieved to be rid of him.
I've now return to online dating, with a healthy amount of skepticism that Dr. Warren's scientific method will work for me. Two friends of friends are now engaged to marry the first person they were matched so I know people who it's worked for.
I was on Match before and that was a little too much like an online bar scene,a lot of guys just looking for your number. I spoke to a few guys and dated three people. I'll never forget one guy who was very eager to meet me and I'm glad I never did. On my pre-date phone call, he asked me if I've ever tried to kill myself. You can imagine how quickly I wanted to get off of that phone call.
I've decided once again to invest money in my future and have signed on for the next six months. Like a fitness resolution I'm not doing this alone. My friend's been on it a couple of months and now I have someone to talk to about the process. Our main pet peeve is getting matched with non-payers and not knowing it until they don't answer your first set of questions. The only hurdle we have to get over is that most men are not big on e-mailing. That makes the early stages of "getting to know you" a little ackward. So it seems, no matter where you meet someone for the first time, it takes a while to find out if there's ANY relationship potential.
