Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
@hughlaurie I heard on Reddit that this hellscape site has reared its tedious head at you. It’s been four years since I opened Twitter (I think it has a porn name now). But I returned to send you support. Carry on, and leave the rest muttering in the dust. Many cheers! <3
@NeadReport The White House is a lost cause. Probably need to build a new one. I’d settle for a Twitter feed with no tweets about Trump and his noxious circle and admin. Like he’s a lost memory nobody recalls.
@NeadReport Yeah, we’ll see. It was too exhausting and too easy to mock the Trump disaster every day. The last couple years I just didn’t want to see the septic face or hear the droning voice anymore. Hopefully, the air will be cleaner in the room soon.
@NeadReport Well, your tweet made my last four years!
Yes, I’m doing quite well, thank you. Admittedly better over the last five days, but things have always stayed at a steady busy. Hope all is splendid with spectacular you!
@_RichardHall No, not at all. Honestly, don’t know what I’d do without your tremendous journalism and hilarious tweets. You’re keeping this place alive.
@TheTeaCouch @ClaudiaWheatley@AlxThomp@abbydphillip But that isn’t the reason why they’re voting for McConnell. Voters aren’t thinking about all the sweet cash their state will get if McConnell wins and Republicans retain control of the Senate. Besides, that extra money hasn’t exactly helped — their state is still at the bottom.
@crane2000@hughlaurie I can understand that! Chopin is certainly difficult and needs a lot of repetitive practice. But to me, Rachmaninoff requires extra fingers.
