minttown1 | a gentleman can be a gentleman but you can only be a loser.

Oh man, so, I woke up so sick this morning, probably a stomach bug, and I kind of wanted to just curl up on the floor and cry, but then I remembered that there was new House of Anubis last night so I put a smile on my face and came to work. Such is my love for this show.

"House of Hustle"? That word has a couple different meanings, but I'm going to go ahead and make the joke: Must be a Jerome episode!

What was happening last week? Patricia was hiding in Victor's office. Three-fifths of Sibuna was locked in the crypt. And Alfie is lingering in the boys' hallway, so he's probably going to save Patricia from Victor.

It took Alfie twenty seconds after the episode started to create a diversion. Predictable show is predictable. <3 Also, fuck that sarcophagus, because Alfie has claustrophobia and Jerome locked him in there once, and why did I like Jerome again?

Eddie: "Typical Yakker. She probably did this to spite me."
Fabian: "No, of course she didn't."
Eddie: "I'm not saying she'd leave us here to rot. It's just... I don't know, man. The whole thing with Patricia was weird. We liked each other, and then we finally got to spend some time together... I don't know, and then boom!, mass destruction."
Fabian: "That's just her way."
LOL.
Fabian: "She only gets like that because she really likes you," Fabian says matter-of-factly, like dealing with emotionally damaged and socially dysfunctional Patricia has been keeping him busy since he was a little kid. Oh, wait.
Eddie: "Not anymore. She dumped me."
Fabian looks slightly surprised and extremely tired.
Anyway, she dumped you because she's suppressing a lot of inner turmoil, Eddie, give her a break. (Shout out to Celly's dad, woot woot.)
Anyway, this still tells me absolutely nothing. I'm sticking with my foot rub theory.

Alfie: "We're not haunted, are we, Victor?"
Victor: "Of course we're not haunted. Don't be so stupid."
Victor received a message from his ghost dad who lived ("lived"?) in the cellar last year, so he knows damn well this place is haunted.

I'm seriously less than three minutes into this episode, because I keep accidentally transcribing the whole thing. I can't help it that perfect show is perfect.

Jerome: "I've been lying here for hours trying to figure out what to do, and frankly, aside from faking my own death or relocating to Siberia, I'm all out of ideas."
Who says it has to be faked? :D

Alfie: "Don't go blaming this on Willow."
Jerome: "What am I going to do?!"
Alfie: "Start brushing up on your Siberian."
You tell him, Alfie.

Okay, I need to take a break and actually do my job for a few minutes. This isn't a show I can work through very well, since it's not boring as hell. I guess I'll stick Being Human on.

Meanwhile, on Being Human, Aidan is the only compelling character and everyone else is a self-righteous twit.

That was a pretty good episode, actually. "We'll find a way. For all of us." Sniff sniff.

Meanwhile, somewhere in England... Victor's taking out the trash.

Joy: "Wow, Jerome, you look terrible."
Hahaha.

Jerome pulls out Patricia's chair, then
Patricia: "What do you want?"
Jerome: "Can't a gentleman be a gentleman?"
Patricia: "Yeah, but what do you want?"

Patricia: "I have a lot on my mind this morning, so unless you get to the point, there's a large jug of milk with your name on it."
LOL.

Jerome: "I just worry about you, Patricia. Trish. Pat. Pattycake."
He forgot Trixie.

Haha, so he proposes that she switch rooms with Willow, and she says, "Why would I do that?" and in my head I added something about how totally awful it would be to room with Mara.

I don't recap the actual plot points if they don't have funny quotes, sorry. Um, the adults got the tank back and also Fabian's translated instruction sheet, and Alfie got the kids out of the crypt.

Eddie: "What happened to you guys?"
Alfie: "Oh, you know, fire alarms, house arrest, key confiscation."
Eddie: "A normal night in Anubis, then."
And not Patricia being spiteful.

Mara, get your hand off his thigh, this show is (inexplicably) G-rated.

Blah blah blah eclipse party. The adults are tricking the kids into helping them to prepare for the ritual, which I'm sure won't backfire at all. Also, there are three weeks of episodes after "House of Eclipse" airs on Thursday, so I don't think it's going to be as simple as all that. Only fifteen episodes left, though. :(
