This TV critic doesn't name his source but says:
4. Robert Sean Leonard. Wilson was always the Watson to House's Holmes. Sometimes described as a "doormat,” he manages to make fans believe somebody could put up with all of House's selfish, childish behaviour and still care about him. Many critics single him out as the one supporting character who could never leave the show. Canadian footnote: his name is derived from two neighbouring buildings on the campus of Montreal's McGill University: James Administration Building and Wilson Hall.
Has anybody heard that derivation for Wilson's name before? Which of the show producers/creators graduated from McGill?

Hello, my awesome and intelligent f-list (and passerby); can I have your help? I signed up to moderate a panel at Con.Txt called: Gender and Sexuality Across Cultures.
I didn't propose the panel originally, but hey, relevant to my interests! The challenge now (in the next three weeks) is to find the right material to make this a rich, informative, engaging session.
Who can point me in some good directions for research? Legit sources, texts, lines of thought, specialists in this area. All I have now is interest, good analytical and research skills, and my college papers on this topic for Heian-period Japan and 20th century American pop culture. NOT ENOUGH.
Comment here, PM me, email -- I'll take info any way you can provide it. Thank you!
Here's the write-up of the panel:
“Concepts of gender and sexuality have changed and varied in complex ways across the whole scope of human culture, and for people writing about other places and times, it's a good idea to step outside the categories you're used to. Learn some of the basics of gender and sexuality across cultures, and where to find out more, and discuss how to use that knowledge in fiction without erasing the modern lived experience of your readers.”

It has nothing to do with the plot but I literally said out loud "What?" ( when this action from ep 8X21 happened )
Give me your theories! Cracky fun welcome!

But you will. In August, after it premieres at Vividcon.

OK, ladies and gents, I am going to have to insist you listen to this extended interview with Hugh Laurie. He's a delightful, intelligent person, and it's so fascinating to hear his thoughts. He is also a weirdo, as this interview brings out, in the best possible way. Some of you may be particularly interested to hear his thoughts on pain -- in general, House's, and HL's own.
Marykir documented it, and sheppa posted it to RSL-Daily, so thank you to both of them.
Get the link here.
Fresh Air 25 Apr 2012 39:27 radio interview with Hugh, almost entirely about House.
As Marykir says: "Includes clips from previous episodes, Hugh reading a bit from The Gun Seller, and a clip from Blackadder. There is a spoilerish moment ~10-11min into the interview. If you skip that minute, I think the rest is safe..."

Of the eight fics of mine with most hits on AO3, six are House, three are Stargate Atlantis, and one is Harry Potter. Four explicit, one mature, one teen, two general audiences.
#1 with 2200 hits, a Stargate Atlantis Sheppard/McKay romance set in a vampire AU that's a remix of a Sabine story. SHOCKER it has a lot of hits, AMIRITE?

An LJ friend pinged me today that she/he had been banned from my LJ. I didn't do it on purpose (not sure how it happened but it wasn't deliberate) and have fixed it. If you find yourself banned from my LJ, please PM or email me so I can set it right.
Just saw a quote by Obama that sparked a big response in me. (Note: What's below is in no way a reflection of my friend who posted the quote, or her/his views, or anything of the sort.)
I like half of the quote and am annoyed to gargantuan proportions by the other half.
First the half that I like (although I don't like that this should even have to be said in the 21st century - should be self-evident by now).
"Women are not an interest group. ... They are half of this country and they are perfectly capable of making their own choices about their health." -Barack Obama
And now the bit in the ellipsis; the part that has got under my skin.
"Women are not an interest group. They are mothers, and daughters, and sisters, and wives. They are half of this country and they are perfectly capable of making their own choices about their health." -Barack Obama
They are also plumbers, and beach bums, and puzzle lovers, and drug addicts, and nuns, and atheists, and a million other things that have nothing whatsoever to do with their relationships to men. Women are perfectly capable of making their own choices because they are people. It is incredibly sad that the leader of the free world still feels (apparently) that he can't make people believe in the humanity of women simply because it is true, he has to appeal to love of specific women to get the point across.

All kinds of new vocabularly lately. First Hugh Laurie introduced me to anodyne, and then there was this:
A person in my city was arrested recently and the paper reported the person is "also facing charges of bawdy house."
I'd never heard of "bawdy house" before, so I looked it up.
BAWDY-HOUSE, crim. law. A house of ill-fame, (q. v.) kept for the resort and unlawful commerce of lewd people of both sexes.
2. Such a house is a common nuisance, as it endangers the public peace by drawing together dissolute and debauched persons; and tends to corrupt both sexes by an open profession of lewdness. 1 Russ. on Cr.; 299: Bac. Ab. Nuisances, A; Hawk. B. 1, c. 74, Sec. 1-5.
3. The keeper of such a house may be indicted for the nuisance; and a married woman, because such houses are generally kept by the female sex, may be indicted with her husband for keeping such a house. 1 Salk. 383; vide Dane's Ab. Index, h. t. One who assists in establishing a bawdyhouse is guilty of a misdemeanor. 2 B. Monroe, 417.

New title for my LJ?

But for now, just know that this has made me very happy.
Kink_Bingo has a challenge running this month of "gift baskets" -- "3x3 bingo cards, each on a particular theme. You can pick one (or as many as you like) and use that card to do a 3-fanwork line bingo, or a postage stamp, or a 3-kink single line extra, or a blackout, or a whole card extra, or a simultaneous double-line, or an X-pattern (any of the standard bingos or extras, but modified for the 3x3 card). As with all mini-challenges, original fic and art is also welcome.
Your fanworks DO NOT have to keep to the theme at all. ... The theme is just a fun way to organize the kinks into groups, and you're welcome to incorporate it into your fanworks, but you absolutely don't have to."
I made a gift basket for myself. If you were thinking, "Geez, I want to write something kinky for Dee but don't know what she'd like," now you do! :D
This is the "Who Are You, Again?" gift basket, all about the tension of pretending to be who you're not. Suggested fandoms include: Remington Steele, Scarecrow & Mrs. King, Quantum Leap, Mission: Impossible, Sliders, any episode of a crime show where partners have to go undercover...
