and now I'm a "Scrubs" fan

I caught the newest episode of Scrubs last night, "My House." I don't normally watch the show regularly, but it seemed like the best thing on. In the episode, Dr. Cox acted like Hugh Laurie's "Dr. House" character on "House MD". One of the patients was a young woman suffering from a mysterious and baffling heart condition. Near the end of the episode, Cox finally figured out what was wrong with her: Stress cardiomyopathy, also known, literally, as "broken heart syndrome." The woman had told him she was single, but she had been wearing a wedding ring. He found out that her husband had just died and she wasn't ready to take the ring off. Her grief was so powerful that it had physically weakened her heart muscle.
JD wondered how it could be possible to beome sick or injured from a broken heart, and how one would fix that. And he began imagining, daydreaming: He was standing over a patient, an elderly man, who was flatlining. He turned to the room and said, "Kittens, stat!" Someone handed him a large cardboard box. He gently upended the box over the dead man -- and at least half a dozen very tiny kittens tumbled out, all over the bed, mewing and meeping and purring, and the man came back to life -- and I squealed at the top of my lungs and instantly melted into a pile of goo.
KITTENS!

I'm hoping someone saw that episode so they can squeal with me. Who wants to squeal with me?

Kittens fix anything. Upset? Angry? Sad? Scared? Have a kitten.

Best episode ever. Seriously.

movies from books

I was reading the Wikipedia summaries for "Children Of Men," both the upcoming movie and the novel it is based on. And after reading the summaries, I realized just why I cannot stand it when certain books are made into Hollywood movies -- ridiculous creative liberties, character changes, character additions and eliminations, plot changes, and generally a total overhaul of plotlines and story points. It might as well be an entirely different movie not based on the book at all, save for the title and a few key story points.
The fact that the movie includes a pregnant woman who does not even exist in the book, changes the names of several characters, completely changes the ending, and basically mucks up the whole deal, all make me not want to see the movie. I'd rather read the book. I don't even understand why the hell they put that Kee character in. The pregnant woman is supposed to be Julian; there is no Kee. Theo's ex-wife is named Helena. People who don't die in the book die in the movie, and vice versa. I feel like the people who made the movie didn't even care about the important details of the book, they just saw a bunch of character names and a main plot and ran with it.

Yes, Wikipedia spoils me. I also know the ending to Pan's Labyrinth. It's very depressing.
