Grey's Blog: Didn't We Almost Have it All.

Runaway Groom

"I'm free!" she shouted, as her best friend clutched her from behind, she writhed in a stunning white strapless gown. She stood in Burke's apartment, abandoned and broken by the one man she truly let in. He was the one man that made her believe she could be compassionate. Now, as she looked around his apartment, once filled with meticulous items, it was now barren. No trumpet in the corner, no medical journals, not even Grand-Mama's picture on the nightstand. Burke was gone, and Yang was free? Then why all the hysterics? The question on her mind was the same one on ours. Is he coming back? Because she's so devastatingly free right now that it's hard to breathe. She's the kind of free that makes her think she doesn't really want to be this free. She wants to be who she is with Burke, who she's become because of him. She wants to be the obsessively perfect surgeon with a heart. A heart surgeon with a heart of gold if I may pun. One could almost feel a kinship with Christina Yang, because as she was being cut out of that wedding dress, and suffocated by that choker her situation resonated with viewers. We wait painstakingly every week for a show we've grown to love and hate at times. This season has been tough. We had all summer to grieve for Denny, but come to find more deaths ahead of us. This includes the major three part arc where Meredith's nearly goes asystolic on us from drowning. Many things don't make sense to us by the closing of Grey's, and even make us angry.

Why is Meredith so verbally inept when it comes to Derek? Why is Derek being McAsshole? Why is Izzy in love with George? Why are there the multiple deaths of so many parents like Mr. O'Malley, Ellis & Susan Grey. With the season finale, all the emotional trials we have been put through this season, a viewer can relate to Christina. We're freakin' there. I'm talking Carrie, at the prom, with the pigs blood horrified. But we're free right? We're free to have our Thursday night back without the onslaught of juicy entertainment, utter shock and sometimes even despair and disbelief. We're free, and we couldn't be more hurt that they set us free with so many questions. I finished reading the official Blog for Grey's and it gave some insight to what I already knew about Alex mirroring Meredith and how they're both too emotionally damaged to find happiness. They sort of connect on this almost really sad level.Also resonated on that Izzy, George, Callie triangle. But if you wanna read it, here is the link. http://www.greyswriters.com/. I want to have my own thoughts, cuz I'm aloud. Read them both if you'd like.

When I talk about Grey's it's an emotional experience. I pour my heart out. I'm crying as I type this. I'm actually not crying, but I probably would be if I weren't at work. So I'm going to attempt to glaze over whatever topics bore me, and call attention to the ones that matter. Let's begin with something I know you're all pissed and confused about: Isobel and George.

When Izzy met Georgie

All right, I know many of you are struggling with this. And this is very left field for us. Izzy is "in love," with George? After all her disastrous relationships: the hockey player boyfriend back home who didn't understand her as a doctor (only as a model). Then Alex, the emotional criple who couldn't be honest that he failed his board exams and then cheated with the syphilis nurse Olivia. Finally Denny Duquette, the guy with the large failing heart who won our hearts. Why George O'Malley you make ask. She's treated him like a little brother since the first season. "I don't care George, look at me in my underwear, it's fine, it really doesn't bother me." He even went so far as to not buy tampons when they were needed most, and defending his masculinity by announcing in the shower, "I am not your sister!"

Side note: My favorite Izzy moment is when Meredith is writing the check out to the nursing home for her mother and Izzy walks by with coffee or something. When she walks away, Meredith jovially replies, "Hello Kitty," The show has had its fun moments, and it continues to do so.

But, for many viewers Izzy and George is no fun. Why? Because though they have been playing this cat and mouse best-buddy type relationship we never really expected it to evolve into full blown sex. (It was apparently really good sex in those flashbacks George had while talking to Callie's father). I mean when the sex happened between Meredith and George, the horror was at least shared by the rest of the interns who knew. But as Karev would say, "So you slept with O'Malley. You're the girl who gets drunk and sleeps with inappropriate men. It's your thing."



But Izzy? Izzy's the girl that you settle down with. But people let's pay attention here? When has Izzy ever made sense to us? We think we know this girl, and she's lived in a trailer park, modeled underwear, had a kid, cut her fiancé's L-Vad wire. You think we know this girl? I think, we think that we know this girl. But she's a tortured and a little dark and twisty. I mean, maybe even as much if not more than Meredith. I think what we note is her vibrant optimism. We're fond of her feminine charms and Martha Stewart meets Pamela Anderson combination. So it doesn't surprise me she's confused and thinks she should belong with George. She's clingy, she needs people to see her, beyond this physical beauty. And when she feels like people do, like Denny and George she gravitates toward them strongly. We're talking, there's the cliff, and there she is jumping off of it. She's had to make some hard choices, and we don't know her entirely, not yet at least. We haven't seen her happy in a long-term stable relationship. And this subplot is just inevitable to me. They needed something, and it's going to play out. It kind of feels like they're grasping at straws, but it's Grey's. There's a spin-off in the works, we're going to forgive the madness that is Izzy and George. And in the show's defense they did give subtle clues when Izzy was so clearly jealous of Callie from the beginning. It could just be that she might not really want George, but she doesn't want anybody else to have him.

Meredith and Derek no more?

Where they go from here? Who knows? Of course we all want them to end up together. He loves ferryboats, she loves Tequila. It's a match made in heaven right? Wrong! We only think so because we fell in love with them as they fell in love with each other. But no matter how bad they are for each other right now, we want them to find happiness. (TOGETHER of course.) Sometimes I just want to shake Meredith and ask her why she can't just surrender and be happy with Derek! But for now it's over, it's so over. If McDreamy starts dating her sister, I am just going to shoot myself. She's might be the younger, less dark and twisty, quasi-gorgeous Grey, but she's not our girl. If she narrates an episode I will cuss to high hell. No way! I can't have it. You do not get to move in on our turf and take our McLife right out from under us. I'm not saying I will hate the girl. But it might be nice to see some new faces. Everybody's single now almost. Let's break out Meredith's mom's surgery tapes and have a go at it. There's nothing wrong with opening up your social circle as long as we stay loyal to the people we love the most and who have put in the work.



The Chief starting over?

Speaking of voiceover work. The Chief was running this episode, aptly titled "Didn't we almost have it all." Oh don't you remember pre-crack Whitney? She was crazy back then too, we just didn't know it. But the Chief has some unknown territory ahead of him. I mean on the one hand he has all this experience that will help him do the job better. But the bottom line is, he is only one man. Will he be able to balance work and family? Will Adele stay with him? Will they be jonesing for a baby like Callie O'Malley. I'm sure they worked out the time table of he being pregnant by him. But who was that man in HIS house making dents in his baby's head? Grossness. I don't even want to sort that laundry. But it will be nice to see the chief get a verbal lashing from Bailey once his situation settles. Because we all know it's coming.

McChump!

Alex always loses out. We've fallen for his fatherly turnaround this season, but like Addison we sort of hate him for not really owning up to anything. He's so in love with Ava and he let her go. He was really into Izzy and let her go, I mean cheated on her, but he sabotaged himself. He had her and then couldn't perform! Alex you suck, Addison was right. You're scared, and you always hesitate and reject anything good for you! MAN UP BITCH! MAN UP! That goes for Meredith too. I think Alex and Mer were just lost at birth and might be related. Lol. Or they're just creepy Soul Mates. Something in my head is exploring the idea of Alex and Meredith dating, and trying to fix the emotional instability in one another. Weird, but you never know.

Callie a MILF?

Not to me anyway. A few people I know think she's cute. But I still think she has drag queen hair sometimes. And I don't like the stank look she gives Izzy. I mean if this were a sides thing, I'd be team Izzy all the way, but that's just because I've watched her in so many other things, Roswell, Valentine, to Wish Upon a Star, and other misc. stuff I can't remember the names of. I love the girl, she's got spunk and personality. But Callie's aight...for all other purposes. And she's everyone's Boss next season. How will that go over with Iz and the gang?



Addison Gone Bye-Bye.

Grey's, the spin off? I will write a whole other blog devoted to the "Private Practice," fans. It definitively had its moments and has room to grow. But I don't know about this Taye Diggs curse. Kevin Hill, Daybreak, even the end of Will & Grace. He's a good actor but I think he needs to step it up for TV. You can't rest on your Brown Suga' performance for the rest of ya life bro. Look at Sanaa Lathan on Nip/Tuck, she played someone way off base and drove it home. And let's take a moment to admire Addison's Anatomy. That woman is gorgeous, lovable, and sultry. She's got Bette Davis eyes. Ok, enough said for now. Oh and she's engaged in real life, best of luck with that. She's known him only a few months. But hopefully when it's love, it's love. She's getting a new job and a new life. Thanks Chief.

Bailey Backlash?

Ok, she's been working her butt off. She's been put through the ringer with these lovable yet troublesome set of interns. She's Bailey. We love, trust, respect, fear, and sometimes, wanna hug the Miranda Monster that is Dr. Bailey. Why didn't she get promoted? Well, it's her family. She needs to spend time, not only with her son, but her husband too. She's been neglecting them, especially her husband the Thanksgiving before the baby came. She was at the hospital fishing chicken bones out of people's esophagus. And come on, singing her baby tro sleep over the phone. Come on now, she needs to be home more for special moments. She's the overachiever who can't do it all and is pushing herself too hard. That's why she sent that guy back that had that never ending cold at the clinic. Turns out his brian was sinking and that's a horrible thing, you want your brain in the position it's suppose to be in. She misdiagnosed him because she's spread herself too thin with this clinic. Granted, the time for the clinic was opportune it has taken a lot of her stamina away as a surgeon. But now that Callie is Chief Resident, the pressure will be off of Bailey, and she can regain her momentum.

And I predict Callie messing up as CR and Bailey having to step in and save her ass. It's not that I'm against Callie, it's just that I'm for Izzy. But for some strange reason I still like her and George together. Izzy just needs a new love interest. I think they tried to go somewhere we didn't expect them to and got caught up. Because, who else was secretly fantasizing about the McSteamy/McIzzy love scene? Lmao, my favorite comical sex scene is when Addison is having sex with Sloane, and picturing Alex. She even tells Sloane as she's "arriving" (inside joke). Whit reminds me, Mark will have to stand on his own next season. No sexual interests to speak of, or at least none that will pay his manwhoring behind any attention. I mean we're thinking about Meredith taking that route, but would she really be that spiteful? It could happen if Derek starts to date her sister. It's just so funny to think of all these characters that you know they will eventually bring in. I been thinking about Lexy Grey since last season. Seriously. It's just so dann intricate I tell you. And what if McSteamy dates Lexy Grey. Whoa...oh the implications. There's just so much room for madness.



Ok, so back onto Cristina and Burke. I couldn't call what they have in store for next season. Is Burke going to leave Seattle Grace? Will he be the new Cardio-Thoracic surgeon at Mercy West? Will George start over his internship with the new Grey? Will Cristina be more emotionally stunted from being left at the alter. And how dramatic was her standing there in that dress. It was so, Stepmom meets Beaches. The Grey's Finale's always make you want to cry. Watch the one with Denny and see if you don't cry. And though we are mad at Burke we will get over it. He didn't want to force Cristina into something she's been complaining about since the beginning. I mean little things like when they picked the same cake gave us hope, but you can't rest your life on cake. And although I do think that Cristina could have been happy being married, once all the getting married was done, I'm not sure it would have lasted. She's a completely different person than Burke. We knew this from the beginning. Though their medical mindsets we in tune their personalities weren't. She's given up a lot of herself to be with Burke. She said it herself when she was pregnant, "He's turned me into this stupid fat girl, who cares!" However, had Cristina just walked down that aisle sooner, she might not have been walked out on. Because did you hear his vows. The man was serious. Those were some romantic sexy vows. They gave me chills. It was a classic Grey's speech and they needed a good one. And I love how Addison said, "Dump Yang and marry me." That was so funny. I think Addison will do well on her own. Or come crashing and crying back to Grey's. I leave you with those vows, and advise you to bitch at me about what I didn't cover, or what I should cover.

Oh and the climber story I thought was weak. Didn't do much for me...I've seen better acting and plot. They try to do what they always do which is having the patients mirror the struggle within the characters. It didn't mesh for me. You can tell Shonda didn't write much of that. Also the Gay Bar-Owning parents. Haha, such a weird couple Joe and Gaysian but they might have twins. So wow...Miranda will have to be setting up play dates with her son. And that's it for now, check back...maybe later. I might write my own Grey's script of the next show. Haha. I love doing that. So here are the vows I promied you:

"Cristina, I could promise to hold you and to cherish you. I could promise to be there in sickness and in health. I could say till death do us part. But I won't. Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. And I do not stand here on my wedding day hopeful and optimistic. I am not optimistic, I am not hopeful. I am sure. I am steady and I know. I am a heart man. I take them apart and put them back together. I hold them in my hands. I am a heart man. So this I am sure you are my partner, my lover, my very best friend. My heart, my heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands. I promise you me."

(I typed this verbatim for you all. So feel special. It still gets me when I read it.)

GA Battle of the Grey's (Meredith vs. Lexi)

So I know many of you are wondering who was the very forward little Miss that tried to buy our McDreamy a drink? Um who else goes to bars and sleeps with inappropriate men when bad things happens? I'd say your long-lost sister whom you've never met's Boyfriend is pretty damn inappropriate. It's Lexi Grey, who also a medical intern. What a great way to bring her into the show, that Shonda is always thinking. And if I am wrong, she's related to Meredith in some way. Has to be, why else would we see her? Just a random woman? McDreamy's new love interest? I think not. Our McDreamy is well...McDreamy. He wouldn't cheat. He wasn't my favorite person the night he just let Meredith leave, I was really mad at him that night. Like, what was the point of that? "I'm tired of breathing for you?" Did we not remember at the beginning of the show, when he had just been betrayed by his best friend. Who did he say "was like coming up for air." I repeat verbatum, "It was like I was drowning and you saved me." And he saved her right back. Well, now we know even Shepherd isn't perfect. No matter how much he likes ferry boats or elevators, or catching trout, or wide open spaces with a trailer on it. It's time like this you really miss Doc. He was their little Devil-puppy's glue. I swear, had Lexi offered a shot of tequila I would have definitely known it was her.

I just can't help but feel pity for Meredith. She has had a lot happen to her, this year, last year, the year before. Being a medical intern in itself is a tough gig. The girl's got chops of steel to still be standing. If my real mom, and then my surrugate (an even better mom) just both died within months of one another, I'd be under the bar for weeks. Well, let's hope I never have to test that theory anytime within the next 80-100 years. And let's not forget she almost drowned, lost doc. Watched Izzy go through Denny, cried while having sex with George. She broke little McVet's heart. She got her panties pasted to the bulletin board and then almost got pummelled by Callie. Ok, point is, she's been through the ringer. I commend her for being as strong as she is. But at some point, she's gotta pull herself up by the boot straps and get a new outlook on life. She should just accept that bad things are gonna happen to her a lot, a whole lot. And she tried to have the whole Painting with the colors of the wind deal, and she's gotta stick with that. He's her knight in shining whatever and by God, she better beat her sister's ass for him.

Now let me get to George and Izzy. Izzy, who's still cute and sort of plateuing in her performance. Ever since she got married in real life and Denny almost died she hasn't been able to act out the angst she usually does. I wanna see her bake something...But George, I like George more and more since he got married. Even though he's a cheater, they were drunk...but they have genuine feelings. And like something's up with his hair, McMini has turned into McGeorgie. He's become a man, come into his own. Now he's got a little love triangle action going. Lord knows he'll have a vision with Callie and Izzy at some point it time, lol. I really do like Callie now...but she needs to become a divorcee...The way he looks at Izzy. It's the way McDreamy used to look at Meredith. And he's got those light eyes so it's like really intense, he's all like, "I really can't be kissing you in elevators," and you're like looking at his eyes all enamored like, "Huh?" And then you like shake your head, "I didn't kiss this fool in the elevator." Come on, don't lie. I saw some of you do it. (Actually, I didn't get to watch it with my fam the way I usually do on Thursday. I really missed it! I hope that they read this and know that watching Grey's with them is like one of my little joys in the world. Yes, Kathy and Marcos I mean you too. You are family. DUH!) And Mercy West? Yuck. Didn't one of their interns kill a pregnant woman? Yes, you Chow!

The Chief and his wife...I won't even touch. She is pregnant? Lord Jesus help the cheif. Adele was spotting all over the bathroom floor.

Bailey's got competition for chief resident? That will be interesting. I won't get into any theories. it would be funny to see someone else get picked and watch Bailey squirm about it, watch them fail, and then clean it all up. She's gonna rock that Hospital.

Alex and Jane Doe. You know why he's so mad? Besides the obvious that he stated. He feels if Mrs. Pope can do that to her husband, she can do it to him and that hurts. How can someone just disappear? He really has feelings for her and I think he was so hurt that she's the kind of woman who can just leave her husband for no good reason. He is so hurt. And you know he just wants to be that baby's daddy. He should just be happy she don't want her husband. But, you know, life ain't that simple.

The Exam? Umm real tough. I love that the chief even had a sandwhich for her. He is her dad. Whether she likes it or not, her real dad sucks like her mom did. And her surrogate mom was even better. It's a testament to Meredith and why we love her, even though her own family sucks she draws people in who are good, and want to help her, and who care and protect her. She's our Grey, and that's why she's the focal point of the show.

Gay, Bar-owning parents? Umm tell me Joe and his little Asian Sensation are not the most mismatched couple you've ever seen. Gay or Straight, it's just weird. But whatever, in this life nothing in improbable. We've been to the moon and by, sky is not the limit, the universe is. Their surrogate mother was cute. I like her. And since she has two babies, why not give one to the other couple and Joe and what's his face can keep the other. AND! (I'm really excited as I type this, which is odd.) They can meet at summer Camp!!!And do a weird Parent Trap. "Let's get together, yea, yea, yea." Lol. It's just cause I love Hailey Mills(The original "Parent Trap.") , and yes I still love Fire-Crotch (Lindsay Lohan) too.

Umm those mountain guys? All I can say is... What the Jesus? I guess they must have tried to put homeboy out of his misery? Watch one of those mountain climbers ends up being Jane Doe/Ava/ I can't remember her real name off the top of my head's husband. Shut up, you wouldn't have known it if I did write it. All I can remember now is Pope. Patricia. And I just watched it too. How pathetic. Dimentia I tell ya. That's the question of the week, write a comment with her name.

And Burke and Christina are getting married! Oh the elation. If a girl like Christina can get married there's hope out there for all you emotionally crippled people! Lol. And Burke, he's a black McDreamy. You can call him McChocolate, Chocolate Thunder, whatever you want ladies...and maybe some gentlemen? -lifts eyebrow- But yea, the dress, the chapel, the "Mama." I can't wait to see it all.

Who will George Pick?
Clues: Um, she's blonde and we love her.

Who was the woman McDreamy met?
Clues: She was wearing black, she had a bad day, she was at a bar (Joe's bar of all places) which is close to the Hospital, where she was waiting in the Car for Thatcher and Molly (The other sister), She's cute and forward, She kinda looks like Meredith, and there's a really big 99.9 percent chance her last name is Grey. Figure it out people.

Will Christina get married?
Um can we say runaway bride? Lol. Nah, she better if she knows what's good for her.

Will Callie get pregnant with George's baby?
Umm yuck.

Where will McSteamy go from here?

Are we losing Addison to another show?
Clues: Um yes...lol. Or so E! says. She will be starring in Montgomery's Anatomy.
Haha, I just had to do this. "There's another showing in an hour, and it's wet"

What will happen to the Chief's wife, will she die too?

What about those Mountain climbers?

Is Jane doe strong enough to catch Alex's syphillis?

Will Bailey become chief resident?

All these questions and more will be answered on the Season (Only Season, not Series, Don't get scared) Fiinale of, "Grey's Anatomy."

(Like Dane Cook says about shoes, I say phuck proofreading! But only for blogs. In the real world...you really have to know how to spell. Not like Black Eyed Peas either, T-to the-A- to the S-T-E-Y...Umm what? )

Ciao all. I couldn't write more. So tired. I'm a workaholic.

Grey's Anatomy: My Favorite Mistake

Greetings my Grey Peoples,

All right, so apparently Grey's isn't showing a new episode until I blog something? They must be on strike or something? Two weeks, come on Shonda, you're killing us. You can't just create a Hit TV show and then take multi-breaks at such a pivotal point in the plot. Who do you think you are, "The OC?" Well just remember, that show got cancelled...But enough of my threats, let's get down to the juice. Izzy and George had sex, Izzie and George...they had sex. That is just wrong on so many levels.

McMini gets McIzzy

"No one, meaning me, needs to hear George's rendition of Sexy back at 3 in the morning"- Christina
All right, so apparently since Pluto is not a planet anymore, the world's gravity has shifted, Anna Nicole died and we still don't know who the daddy is, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich(Don't care how I spell it, he's an ass.) calling Spanish the language of the Ghetto.( I for one believe you should learn other languages, it's useful. What's with all this sameness? We can't Walmart the World people. We are diverse, accept it. Italians make Pizza, Chinese make Rice Patties, and Ray J made a sex tape with Kim Karshardian, it's 2006 people. Whitney is pulling a Demi.) So what other logical sense could it make that Izzie and George had some startling sex? I mean he did almost break Callie's vajayjay when his father died, George is apparently as RKelly would name him, a "GoGetHer." And who knew? We always loved George as the awkward social outcast who's sort of never gets the girl, but homeboy's got to bodacious(yes that's an academic word) babes and is in real life, playing for the other team. I don't know how many people take issues with his homosexuality, but I think it's funny. The show almost set you up for that the first episode when he's going on about the strappy sandals and later on when he meets that friend of the chief's who needed a liver and kept flirting with George. That sort of comical ambiguity really helps. Because TR is gay, George is not people. George can actually call himself the Sultan of Punanny(Closer reference).

I read somewhere that they were sayin Grey's is the first real show where the character's beauty (mostly talking the girls here) takes a backseat to their personality, and that it's the first show that portrays women in a real light. I think it's perfectly true. I work with an entire office of attractive women, and it's good that people know, attractive people can be smart. We can have it all, lol(Yes you who are reading this, you gorgeous creature you). Not that I'm glib or anything, I was ugly duckling for quite some time in between. I was a gorgeous baby, big head, but gorgeous. But you know, there's that balance in life. You lack one thing, you make up for it somewhere else. Such is the Circle/Cycle of life. Whoa, way off topic now. Let's move on. But they had hours and hours of sex. He meant it more than once, hilarious.

MerDer Sex?

I read somewhere in the blog for the show about it being a long time for MerDer sex, that was totally understandable...but I just assumed they were having sex...lol. I mean it was a cute moment when Mer was kissing his "boo-boo's" away but they always have their cute little moments. She's all painting with the colors of the wind and shit and he's her knight in shining whatever. I think they're a great representation of a couple today, flawed, yet still together, still sticking it out. I think a lot of people these days are like, fuck this I am out for myself. I can't be bothered with anyone else. I got one life to live, one chance to be bold and beautiful and follow my passions. Lol. Well party people, that's shit. You need someone to go home to at the end of the day. It's all right to be single. I for one am a fan, but it's lonely kid. Besides, I need someone to be accountable for you, and not just yo' mama. Like the man at Walmart today wearing an all Lime-Green suit, who the hell let him make that mistake? I need someone to cuss when you act a fool and cut me off on the highway. Who do I blame when you mark Bush on the ballot? If it's just you, that's no fun. If you have a partner it's more likely you'll make a well thought-out decision about your actions. People make people accountable. You don't become a Teacher/Porn Star otherwise you employers and co-workers will start looking at you funny. It's true, your network makes you accountable for what you do. And we all just love, someone to kiss you on your neck, and whisper nasty things like, "All I need is a moment alone to give you my tongue and make you out of control," in your ear. Yea, I said it. Get some lovin'. Ain't nothing wrong with getting you groove back if you lost it. Unless you groove is really gay and wanted a green card...poor Stella. On to newer topics. Mer kicked Derek out of the room when he brought up Sloane's motives. I felt the tension in that room. He was right, but Meredith took a page from her dead Mother's book and did the surgery anyway. Ballsy...and it's exactly what Ellis would have done. She was kinda right about Derek holding her back from being the best she can be, but what she really didn't know was that she was the problem. Meredith couldn't be the best Meredith because her own harsh crazy mother didn't recognize her half the time and she was harboring all this anger for her father. Now that Ellis is gone, we see some of that fixing of her life. I think Meredith's mom dying gave her strength to be a better surgeon and just prove her mother wrong.



Wishin' and Hopin' and Plannin and Prayin'.

Christina's "Be Kind Rewind Operation" was funny. Burke and Christina are tying the knot, you are cordially invited. Just a small ceremony with Mer and Der, and the Justice of the Peace. No veil because who the hell wants some mosquito net hanging over their face in their wedding day? And white? Who are we kidding here? You don't buy the car before test driving. That's how people ended up with the crappy Yugo. I love it, I absolutely can't wait to see Burke and Christina get married. He wants so bad to start a family, and Christina is so not use to having a family that she likes. I would love to see her mother again, Mrs. Rubenstein:(To Burke) "You're good-looking, Christina, he's good looking. Why don't you ever bring a man home this good-looking?" I just know she might end up crying like she did after her miscarriage, "I can't stop crying, somebody sedate me!!!" She makes me crack up. I know people like Christina. You don't agree with them on everything, but you love them so much, because they are so unapologetically themselves. It's a beautiful to embrace your personality. When she talks to the patient with diabetes, "Did you go to medical school?" I died. And then the poor guy has to chop off his foot and Christina realizes that it might be too late for her patient's foot, but that he has the other foot. While she might not want to marry Burke the traditional way, they can do it their own way. "You try and keep your other foot. "
I love Burke's line about "I wanna move forward, I'm not interested in going back." Burke is so wise sometimes. Isaiah might be a bigot, but Burke is infinitely wise reguardless of him.



Calliapie? O'Malley

Whoa, and we thought her middle name was weird. Apparently Callie comes with a lot more drama than we ever knew. I love that she is is so awkward when it comes to her dad. I love when Izzie walks in on the two of them while Callie is trying to get George cleaned up.
Izzie: "Oh the O'Malley's.(awkward laugh) Do your stuff, your married stuff, Yay."
And then Izzie is nervous all day around Callie and she has to be her intern which is all too hapless. That is to say hilarious. Then Geoge asks the woman who can barely move to lie still during a CT, that was awkwardly funny. And worst of all Izzy has to confide in Addison. My favorite lines are:
Addy: "So God's plan is for you to commit adultery."
Izzy:"God got a virgin pregnant by magic, he's not exactly playing by the rules."
And how weird is it that Callie's dad is Hector Elizondo, from Princess Diaries and Pretty Woman. He was great as Callie's father. You always feel under pressure with that guy.



Jane Doe's New Face

Yet another example of Alex softening up. Come on kid, how many damn gold stars do you want on your HW? I personally want to see Alex man-up again. It's all right for him to get in touch with his pink and squishy feelings,(Aww he loves banana cream pie, gag me. lol) but I miss the old Alex. (Even though that is good pie) He's so deep in uterii right now that his mojo is almost non-existent. But there are small redeeming moments like when he says to her, "If you don't pick a face, (opens the mirror) this is what you'll look like the rest of your life." But I think some Frat Brother or Wrestling buddy visits are in order. Open this kid up a bit more to us. I think because we have so many damn characters it's hard to get everybody's story in there. Hence, the spin-off, which I kinda blame for slowing down Grey's production.



The Race for Chief

Webber:"He has a ten year plan."
Shepherd:"What he's only been here a day."
Webber:"Did you see that folder, the man has a plans, tweaks for my hospital."
I love everbody stepping up their game. Burke was all in his suit, pitching ideas to the Board. Poor Shep, he was in bad shape. Mark really knew how to push his buttons And Mark was a sneaky little bastard, but you have to admire his gumption. Even Addison had to pony up her charisma.
Sloane: What are you weaknesses?
Addison: I don't have any. I'm that good.
Sloane: "I'm an easy target for evil red-heads."
The banter between these two is very cute. And when Sloane asks Bailey what she would do to improve the hospital, she gives him the typical Bailey talk-to. The "Right now" plan was funny.



But at the end of the day, Meredith suceeded and kissed Derek's pain away. Burke and Christina came to an understanding, and George and Mr. Torres even negotiated. Now I know some of you are still sore about the George and Izzy sexcapades...everything has a purpose in this show. And don't lie...sometimes some of ya'll wake up remembering the shit you did the night before and wished you hadn't. Bourbon does some strange things to you. And remember George and Izzie were doing every damn this else a couple does before Callie came along. They just didn't have sex. And it's funny that I came to this realization at the end of the blog that the daughter of the mother whose organs were turning to stone represented Izzy. Izzy froze up after Denny died and she's learning from her mistakes. And damn homegirl was thrown a curve ball, realizing that she was in some weird way in love with George. It'll all make sense soon. We just have to wait, and have faith. And wait we will, the next episode is slated for :

The Miami Heat: The Heated Soul

The Heated Soul (For those who missed it)

I guess I hadn't realized I forgot to blog this. Luckily my cool friend Suzy had it on her page so I am posting it here....it was when we obviously beat Dallas. Enjoy!

How does one express such a joy as victory. The heart swells, there is a rhythm in your step, at any given moment you could bust out singing. That is how the Heat kicking Dallas' ass makes me feel! Dwyane served up a can of kickass, and Shaq gave them a side of "In yo' face"

So for all the Haterz, I forgive you. You made a mistake, it's human to err. But don't EVA. EVA, EVA, EVA question the D.Wade strategy. He is my MVP of the year. I am so getting those shoes!

Wade is above Kobe on the Stats List! ..4, get it!

All right, not to forget the other players. Haslem, he's coming up. He's a team player, knows this strengths and corn rows are keeping his thought mentally structured. He's in the game, he's having a good time and lining them up like a star.

Mourning, you been through some shyt and I personally extend my gratitude for coming back so strong not just for yourself, but for the game of basketball. You're no longer playing for noteriety, you're playing for the true love of game and the love of your fans. You're the Miami King of Hearts. We love you.

Peyton...pay attention the fucking ball and not chit-chatting with the ref. foo! Or was that Posey? I get those fools confused. Posey is a hard worker, he gets a gold star.

Walker, you and that damn little cabbage patch, good save though. I liked that a lot.

Williams, we need our token white boy. You did your thing, had a few mess ups, but overall a strong player. Kopono you too I guess. Simien...I didn't even notice you.

Shaq...where were you tonight? Kobe must have a voodoo doll of you, messing with your head. 54% dude...Bow Wow shot better in that Like Mike movie...without the shoes. Shazamm, lol. But you did do a good job, some nice saves, a few slips...how you gonna let them grab the ball from you. Stackhouse was in yo' face! I was waiting for you to squish somebody.

I would say overall the team did look a bit disorganized, the ball was getting passed to Dallas to many times. People were playing tough, but the heat rose to the occasion.

Coach Riley, you did a good job, you're the Dr. Bailey of the basketball court. Keep it coming. We're taking down the Lakers next year at the Finals, let me be the first to say...Kobe may be a great player, but he's getting put into retirement by Wade.

I guess what I can say about it all is that Basketball is like life. You get on the court whether you're ready to play or not. You make some important passes. You score a few points. You try not to foul anybody if they don't foul you first. You make your intentional fouls count. Sometimes you steal the ball, and sometimes you get robbed yourself. Sometimes you overestimate your abilities, and sometimes you surprise yourself. But overall when you pour your heart into it, work hard, and know that while the buck stops with you, no man is an island. Your team is like family, whether you like them or not, they're on you're team. You go out there and give them your all, and you all reap the benefits. So I leave you with the words of Whitney and Mariah.

"There can be miracles when you believe, thought hope [was] frail, it's hard to kill...You will when you believe."

Grey's Anatomy: Seeing Grey

Commentary on "Losing my Religion."

So I know that many of you watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy, which was really like three episodes jam-packed into two nights of unadulterated, (wait no...there was some adultery going on) fun. Hehe, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of mistakes people make, well-knowing the consequences. I am guilty of this myself of course, but there are sometimes when the universe makes allowances. Like last night.

He had those eyes and she had that dress, what else did you expect to happen? It was like I thought it, and my TV willed to into fruition. And ok yes, the panties coming off was a little skanky ( I mean they didn't have to show those panties and they did...God love 'em.) but it was what we all waited for the entire season. We had watched Derek, who by the way chased Meredith, made her fall in love with him, and then left her to be with his wife. I admit, staying married was an admirable thing to do, a stupid one, but that's who Derek is. But raise your hand if you're tired of seeing Derek play the hero.
"When you waited two months to tell me, and I have to find out by her showing up all leggy and fabulous and telling me herself. You pulled the plug on a sink with an open drain. Anything you say runs right out, there is no enough."

If this is measure of how American Society has changed due to the invention of television it is sad and sort of funny at the same time. How many people are praying that Derek will leave his wife and that Meredith (Who by the way just pieced back together her life. I means Finn has plans, all sorts of plans.) leaves Finn and gets back together with Derek. Hate McDreamy for being so damn appealing and so damn unavailable to Meredith. Calling her a whore, you're the whore. I mean it's a lot of drama to deal with in one sitting. Finn is a great guy, no matter how scary or damaged,(He saved Gotham City, and I'm sure banged Alicia Silverstone.) and that small insight into his background a few episodes ago just makes you feel for him. And even Addison I've developed feelings for. She loved her husband, and he was soo damn apathetic that he caught her cheating and didn't even bother to show how angry he was. I would like to quote McSteamy:"He catches me in bed with his wife, I mean actually in the throws, and he just walks away. But he sees me so much as talking to you and I'm on the floor bleeding."
So in my eyes, that marriage is over, it was over even before Addison cheated on Derek. The fact that he stayed with her and even tried to make it was a great sign of how McDreamy will one day be a good McDad.

Poor McVet, if Meredith doesn't choose him, he might become an alcoholic or something, not that I'd blame him. He's got issues all on his own that we haven't even touched yet.

Now onto to Callie and George...what is that? It's so odd. She is soo....SOO, and he is soo George. But I like George a lot because in his own way, he's a McMinni, I mean he knows how to say the right thing, in just the right way, when he's not flustered or nervous. I've yet to hear the other Doctors really get through to patients the way George has, Burke's pretty good, but to some degree they all sound clinical, George just sounds warm and friendly.

And what the hell were they thinking shooting Burke? Burke...My head of Cardiothoracic surgery shot on my surgical floor? They have got to be kidding me. I think as scary a move as it was to have him shot it was worth it, it showed him as being more human, because lord knows as much as he claims to be a person, he's a little androidian(you know, like a robot.) And how much of a mess was Cristina this episode. As much as you want to condemn her for being hesistant, she's grown a lot. I think Burke might be the first real guy she's opened up to and that scares her a little bit.

Well, Bailey didn't have too much going on except that her interns were running a muck behind her back, falling in love with patients, asking about dog bones, falling asleep during sex, trying to escape the vagina squad, and not saying I love you in return, but most of all having to go to the prom. And damn did you see here micromanage the prom of the century? Bailey is a complex woman. "I like Judy dolls, I own Judy dolls, the only problem I have is that they're in the bowel of this man."
Alex showed a little heart this episode but he hasn't redeemed himself.

The Chief, I will leave alone, he has issues as well.

Now, the good stuff. Denny and Izzy. She looked amazing in that dress, she was dolled up, no doubt. But she was inevitably unlucky. We all knew Denny was going to die at some point in the show. Shows like this, with people that sick are always there for a reason. I mean don't get me wrong he was looking strong, but his proposal said it all. She steals a heart for him and they live happily ever after. After she broke almost all of the vows she swore as a Doctor she wouldn't. Denny was a good guy, I would have liked to see them at least have had more time. But life is unexpected like that, things happen, complications occur and people leave, even when things are going well. So I guess the moral message was to cherish your loved ones, but also don't steal hearts. Because when they don't belong to you...they really don't belong to you. 17 seconds. or not. That was really dramatic having her walk out in that dress, and even be in that bed next to his corpse in that dress, there is some good ass thinking going on over there Shonda Rhimes. You're ridiculously smart.

So what now?
A
summer of repeats...endless Sundays without the warmth of a new episode?
Get a life people...if anything Grey's should inspire you to join the medical field. I could learn about appendectamies and pericardiotomies all day long...almost. They should use that in school...educational entertainment. It works. I know more about cystic fibrosis, nemothorax, and pericardial windows than I can even express.

And really...if you must cry. For the summer will be Grey...but it's like what 3 Months...My heart is still recovering. They did that final 3 episodes thing to last us the three months, they did a good job...I have no qualms about the show...it gives you this indescribable warm, sad, playful, intelligent, sometimes incredibly painful sense of relevance. Life just didn't make sense before Grey's Anatomy (Ok maybe it's not that serious...but seriously. Seriously....)

Fools of Love

This was the beginning of my Grey's Anatomy Blogs...How cute. Clear references to Meredith my wispy wasp.

Everyone messes up. It's what we're designed to do, to try something and see what works. Most people opt for the safer route, doing exactly what works and trying not to deviate from that. But pioneers try the untried, they brave new territory and sometimes they're rewarded, and sometimes not. Meredith slept with George...-shakes head.- Tisk square. Lol. I'm still deciding what I want to be, do I want to be smart in love, or do I want to pioneer. But yet again all this requires someone else. I don't know I just think I'm ill equipped for relationships. I mean they're a lot of work, taking into account other people's feelings, and making the majority of your decisions around them. Is it just me or does that feel constricting. Then again, there's feeding the beast (sex) and kisses on the neck, warm embraces, and sweet, sweet lies. I mean less face it, Fifty percent of a relationship is the intention, and other fifty is the execution.. That whole "Oh baby, I'm gonna buy you a house and take care of you," bullshit I hope is dying its deserved death. Don't rely on anyone. Buy youself a house, then you're free to tell who you want to come and go. Seriously. But relationships are complex and you really need to find someone who fits. Who fits for me? Intellectual, but not snooty. Rich~ not a prerequisite because I'm not a gold digger, but I'd be a liar to say that wouldn't be sweet. But there's that down side where rich people think they can treat you like shit, which ain't happening either. and of course personality trumps a lot of these. I mean if I find someone with just a beautiful soul who's capable, makes a decent living, and shares my interest that would be great. So wow I said all of that for nothing because I haven't really narrowed it super down. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm open to life's possibilities. I can't define that "It" that makes you fall in love. I'm not even going to go into the physical, because that I can shut down from the get-go. If you have to change yourself to please me, it's prolly not worth. Find somebody who's gonna love you on your worst hair day. I stay cute for me, not anyone else. It's called personal pride. Seriously. But you know what it is, I'm great in social settings, but hooking up wise I have the worst game. Like I think I over-exaggerate when it comes to my skillz, so it makes me more self-conscious which encourages me to not try at all and then I expect people to come to me. But by not trying sometimes I look standoffish and then other people are afraid to approach me. Lol, weirdness right? I could go on for days. So anyway I forgot why I started this blog. Anyway I had no destination in mind, hope you enjoyed the ride?

Changes

Maybe I do, maybe it's because I give soo much. This is my warning to all those seeking change in other people. People are who they are, they can't help themselves. Something is pulling at them to be better but they fight back in fear losing the person they know. While you struggle devoting all your efforts to that person in hopes that one day they will bloom and shine with the beauty on an orchid (the beautiful creature you know they could be.) A little piece of you dies with every event that reinforces their ignorance. And while you know they're not shit now. And I repeat you know they're not shit now...u still feel like they have sooo much Potential. But alas your efforts are wasted and you end up angry or hurt, and even sometimes you cried. But no more, now you're just a little bitter and you think how immature people get. U know u shouldn't be angry, but actions speak hella' louder than words. But you work through it. The rain doesn't shower the flowers expecting them to bloom in return. The Sun doesn't shine and moon to rise and take its place. It just happens, it's nature. So if you must nurture, do not waste all your sunshine on one bud, there are other flowers to be cared for, flowers that will bloom. If you must set, do so, don't wait for the moon. There are people that understand that their dharma doesn't involve self-doubt, pathologically criticising, or inadvertenly hurting themselves. Wounds tend to heal on their own, but how you care for them determines what kind of scar they leave and how much pain you have to endure waiting for it to heal.... Fuck, I'm heated.... I'm listening to Linkin Park....u know shit ain't right. You ever have an album that takes you back to a dark place? Hybrid Theory does that for me. So in short, don't be expectin', instead use your time reflectin'. Pharaoh out, 1 .
