While we're waiting for the new season of House, Heroes, and Chuck later this year, the second season of two TV shows just started recently -- True Blood and Leverage.
True Blood
Staring Anna Paquin -- aka Rogue from the dull X-Men flicks -- who plays a southern girl working as a waitress in a bar in a town in Louisiana and has the ability to read other people's minds. And in this earth, vampires are out in the open -- they outed themselves to the entire world. Vampires now are recognized as citizens and have political power in the human world -- a novel and interesting concept. The only show -- as far as I know -- that has vampires walking side-by-side with humans as equals under the law...
Downside is that it has tooooo much sex and violence. Not that it's bad in itself. Just that my wife is pregnant, and I really don't want her seeing bloody and violent scenes.
Aside from that, I like the show.
Leverage
Ah yes... The first time I learned about the different types of crooks out there: hitter, hacker, grifter, thief. Have the best of all four plus a brilliant mastermind and you end up with the greatest team of crooks a Mafia Wars fanatic can only dream of.
Like a modern version of Robin Hood, they go after the big, bad, rich people who step on their little, good, poor victims. Not the most original concept. But the characters simply make the show stand out.
This is much "cleaner" than the other show so I can enjoy this with the wife. :) Our favorite is the "Parker" character - the thief of the crew. Beautiful, acrobatic, and a weird sense of humor in one package -- we just can't stop laughing whenever she does the thing that she does. :))
Oh well... Another two shows on our list of must-watch TV...

House M.D. - Season 5 Episode 16 Quotes
Dr. House: Our new patient. Part girl. Part boy. All Thirteen's dream date.
Dr. House: Way to multi-task! Impress your boss and humiliate your ex.
Dr. House: Completely unfazed? You think I'm totally lacking in any fazing? The idea that I'm anything less than half-fazed... I actually find offensive. It greatly fazes me...
Dr. Wilson: He's in a good mood.
Dr. Cuddy: Sex with me would explain that. But it doesn't explain why I'm not curled up in a ball, weeping in shame.
Dr. House: I think my penis stopped breathing. Do you know CPR?
Dr. House: I'm fine. Other than the fact that my nurple is now purple. [To Dr. Hadley.] No wonder you broke up with him. I'm surprised yours are still attached.
Dr. Hadley: Monogamy is like saying you're never gonna have any other ice cream flavor besides rocky road.
Dr. Foreman: So you're saying: if you don't have pink bubblegum for a while, that one day you'll gonna chase down the ice cream truck?
Dr. Hadley: No. Rocky road is great. It's a very delicious and complicated flavor. I also know that if I have other flavors, then rocky road is gonna be left in the freezer where anyone can just... Dip in.
Dr. Foreman: Kutner said the silver lining of our breakup was... I wouldn't be dumped for a girl.
Dr. House: Okay I admit it. I have bolemia. I look good, though, right?
Dr. Cuddy: You keep taking this, you could die.
Dr. House: Consider, if I keep doing this, YOU could die, then it would be your business.
Dr. Cuddy: You're choosing methadone over this job?
Dr. House: I'm choosing lack of pain over this job.
Dr. Cuddy: House doesn't do happy. Pain or no pain.
Dr. Kutner: Are you okay?
Dr. House: I have issues with authority. You?
Dr. House: Your son was fine when he got here. 'Coz of your... Freaked out overprotectiveness that nearly killed him.
Dr. House: You gave birth to a freak of nature. Doesn't mean it's a good idea to treat him like one.
Dr. House: It's already done. This is the only me you get.

Going past the first trimester...
As the old adage goes, time flies fast when you're having fun. Still can't believe we're already on our second trimester. Three months have gone by and the baby is doing well. Che's belly is starting to bulge a bit. Starting to feel a little push here and there. Wow!
Of course, that means I have to do more and more of the work at home. Not that I mind. In fact I'm kind of enjoying it. Doing laundry early morning so that I can hang them out to dry before noon... Doing grocery... Vacuuming the place... Mopping the floors... Taking out the trash... and others... Being a "houseband", is not as bad as I originally thought.
This also means that I don't have time to do the other things I usually do. I don't play with Fallout 3 anymore, nor do I blog so much as well... As you can apparently tell from the lack of posts for weeks. I haven't even been able to play around with our SLR that much. But that's all okay...
I guess the thought of the baby is more than enough to keep our happy disposition in place. :) Despite the challenges at work, I feel more relaxed and carefree than I was months before.
Can't wait till the next check-up. I want to see how baby is doing in there. :)

House M. D. - Season 5 Episode 15 Quotes
Dr. House: This department is broken. And I'm not gonna take a real case until it is fixed. Job or relationship. You're choice.
Dr. House: You're a wuss. Part wimp. Part puss.
Dr. House: It's cool, the priest doesn't believe in God. It's cool that God did to him what he did to the kid.
Dr. Kutner: If everybody lies, that includes teenage boys.
Dr. Wilson: Since when have your failed attempts at communication through lies been by fault.
Dr. House: So. The good news is, he didn't have a heart attack. The bad news, I apparently fired the only guy who actually knows what a heart attack looks like. So the man of God who doesn't believe in God had a heart attack that isn't a heart attack. Do I know how to pick awesome cases, or what...
Fr. Daniel: Oh yeah. God wants life to have meaning. Life's meaningless without freewill. With freewill, there's always suffering. So God wants suffering. I got tired of that argument before I even finished saying it.
Dr. Wilson: You always have a reason. It's usually a bad one but a reason.
Dr. House: She's being childish.
Dr. Wilson: See. That's an example from the bad category... Is it just resentment....or you just can't stand to see others happy?
Dr. House: She's trying to play me. If I let her the terrorists win.
Dr. House: So if I happen to cure you, what happens then? You start thinking that God was working through me? That this is some kind of miracle?
Fr. Daniel: Do you think I'm an idiot?
Dr. House: That's what I'm testing.
Fr. Daniel: Losing my faith wasn't a choice I made. It happened. It's gone.
Dr. House: But if it can magically disappear, it can magically reappear. And that's what your hoping.
Dr. House: Why do the Lord's work if the Lord has left the building?
Fr. Daniel: I've been with the church my entire adult life. It's my only marketable skill.
Dr. House: I detect a stink of leftover faith.
Fr. Daniel: I don't think you're looking somebody to prove your right. You're looking for somebody to prove you wrong. To give you hope.
Dr. House: Hey! Just talking about you. Not you specifically. Whores and hypocrisy.
Dr. Taub: Funny, how the two people in the room who think relationships are easy are both single.
Dr. Kutner: I don't think they're easy. That's why I think if you find something that could be could, you should hang on to it.
Dr. Taub: Everything could be good. Very little ever is.
Dr. House: I've got a thing for my boss' thing. She doesn't have a thing, perse. I pick up metaphors.
Fr. Daniel: Who wants a relationship with a priest?
Dr. House: Who wants a relationship?
Dr. Foreman: Wow. Guess House knows me better than you do. Too bad I don't go both ways.
Dr. Wilson: You're the hypocrite. You wanna go. You don't resent this baby. You want to be a part of it.
Dr. House: Yes. But not 'til her sixteenth birthday...
Dr. House: Love, sacrifice, deception, and now betrayal. This is better than a telenovela.
[After Dr. Foreman and Dr. Hadley had an argument over a diagnosis...]
Dr. Hadley: This isn't gonna work.
Dr. House: Are you kidding? I've never felt more alive!
Dr. Wilson: I'm trying to give you a rational reason to overlook her hypocrisies so you don't feel like a hypocrite for going.
Dr. Wilson: Even if an absolute truth exists, we can't know all of it. And you can't condemn her for recognizing that.
Dr. House: We can know everything.
Dr. Wilson: This is medicine, not metaphysics.
Dr. House: Truth is truth.
Dr. House: Coincidences do happen.
Fr. Daniel: That coincidence is what brought me to you in the first place.
Dr. House: You promised you wouldn't go there.
Fr. Daniel: Einstein said, 'Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous....
Dr. House: The fact that I was wrong is not a proof of God.
Fr. Daniel: I'm just trying to understand how my life could completely turn around in a single day.
Dr. House: Don't worry. Your life will go back to sucking soon enough. Everything that happened to you can be rationally explained."
Fr. Daniel: I know. It's just... That's a lot of coincidences.
Dr. House: You're a wuss. Part wimp. Part puss.
Dr. House: It's cool, the priest doesn't believe in God. It's cool that God did to him what he did to the kid.

House M. D. - Season 5 Episode 14 Quotes
Dr. Cuddy: I am gonna do my job. Doesn't me I have to do it happily.
Doesn't me I have to do it without resentment. And definitely doesn't me I have to do it without seeking vengeance on the person making me be here. Congratulations. You have officially dragged me down to your level.
Dr. Foreman: Better look out for yourself and the people you care about.
Dr. House: People act in their own self-interest. You're all here because you're happy to be here. Or at least because this is your best option.
Dr. Kutner: I'm here because I want to help people.
Dr. House: No. You're here because it makes you feel good to help people. Taub and Foreman are here because they've got no other viable choices, and Thirteen is desperate to make her life matter before it's over.
Dr. Taub: So. You're happy to be here?
Dr. House: Does it show?
Dr. Miller: Not working doesn't mean I don't have places to go.
Dr. Miller: You can look yourself in the mirror and think I did something worthwhile today.
Dr. Taub: Exactly.
Dr. Miller: That's important. And I do miss that. But, it just wasn't enough anymore.
Dr. Wilson: I hear Cuddy's SEAL training finally came in handy. Should I be investing in a flack jacket?
Dr. House: You're safe.
Dr. Wilson: No carpet bombing? No burning of Dresden to teach her a lesson? [pause] Well, since you're incapable of taking the high road, I assume there's some deeper, more long-term strategy in effect.
Dr. Wilson: Cuddy's not playing games. She's not looking for leverage. She wants pure, unadulterated vengeance.
Dr. House: And your counter move is to let her have it?
Dr. Wilson: The only time to strike back is when I want something. All I want now is to get things back to normal. Which I can't get by escalating. The only way to win this war is to lose it. Let her punch herself out.
Dr. Hadley: We've been dating for two weeks. You just broke trial protocol and risk your entire career to give me a drug we're not even sure will help me. I don't think I'm ready for that.
Dr. House: Oh my God! It's been a whole day and her tumor hasn't melted away?!
Dr. Foreman: I want to be able to tell her this happened to other people and they're fine now.
Dr. House: So tell her.
Dr. Foreman: I'm not gonna lie to her.
Dr. House: Too late for that.
Dr. Kutner: Why are you asking about Foreman and not Thirteen?
Dr. House: Because both questions would are about to have the same answer. Ebony and ivory are joined... NEAR the hip.
Dr. House: Yes, he's an idiot. He didn't ask you to do anything. You're pissed off that he did. So let him torch his career to pay for his sins. Unless, you actually feel something for the idiot...
Dr. Cuddy: I like what he does for this hospital.
Dr. Wilson: What he does is who he is... And the same goes for you.
Dr. House: You did it because you love her. Ironically, you never took her into consideration. Can't wait to see what you get her for your anniversary.
Dr. Taub: It involves House, Foreman, and Thirteen, which means it's dumb, dangerous, or tragic, or a combination. I'm embracing my ignorance.
Dr. Wilson: Im not apologizing because you're dying, I'm aplogizing because you were right. I am stuck. My girlfriend died. She was the only person I've loved in a long time and... I'm still living in her apartment. I'm surrounded by her things. I've left it all exactly where it was. I don't know how to get unstuck.
Dr. Miller: The only wrong thing is.. to do nothing...
