Crushes

My friend has this saying about crushes.

He calls them crashes, and they're appropriately named because a crash is very much like a crush. First and foremost, they are unavoidable. If you want to avoid a crush, unless the person turns out to be Satan reincarnated, you're probably not going to get over it just like that. You may put it aside, or put it on the back-burner but it's there. It's like an MTD (Mentally Transmitted Disease.) You meet someone and they're moderately to extremely attractive and then when they open their mouth they actually have something intelligible to say, you're hooked. The reason you don't want to have a crush, at least for too long is, if it doesn't work out, there's all this wasted effort. So then we move to stage two.

The 411

We get out of our "Cars," (Minds) and look at the damage. The other person obviously doesn't have as much damages as you. So they get off scot-free and you end up clinging onto your bumper and trying to tie it up. You try to put yourself together so you don't look a hott mess and you exchange information. Now-a-days it's no longer home telephone number. Lol, remember the old days when you would have to do that and your mom would pick up the phone: "Honey, so-and-so is on the phone for you." Tre-embarrassing right? Now it's Cell Phones, and the occasional email exchange. Bur rather than give email people opt to use Myspace or Facebook. It's safer, you get more a choice when you use these venues. I mean email has become a little too personal to just give out. In Facebook, more so than Myspace you can control more of what people are allowed to see as your friend. So you exchange the information and wait. If you have inherent harmless stalker tendencies like me, you send over a little "Hello." just to remind them you're alive, and change your profile picture to the best one. So that when they see you're alive, they associate that livelyness with lovelyness. Am I right?

The Waiting Game

Then you wait. You wait some more. And then you wait a little more. I tend to not wait and realize things play out better when you wait. But you're excited and you need something to do with all that crush energy. You peruse their profile, looking at every picture.You might not look in detail, but just the cute pictures where your cursh is the main focus. You try to picture yourself in their life. Not in a weird insertion kind of way, but a "Where do I fit in?" inventory to see if you two are indeed compatible. And even if you aren't. You daydream. You wait and wait until finally you give up and write more messages, maybe even call. You invite them out, because nothing speeds up comfort like a face to face meeting? Right? Wrong...lol. Face to Face can be awkward. Chances are if you can't hold a conversation online, you might as well be dead in the water when you come face to face. It isn't a rule, just general experience. Your really are you true self around your friends. They get your humor, they get your intention. What do I say about relationships? Relationships are fifty percent intention, and other fifty is execution. And when you try these new things out on people that don't get it. It either amuses them or...makes yourself seem like an ass. Either way crushes can be the cute little pining away kind, or the one that jerk in your side. The pain in a a joint when you realize you're not as young as you used to be.

The Cure for the Common Crush?

How do you cure it? Well, there's no sure fire way to do it. I mean you think if you absorb enough of the person you'll get it out of your system. But it doesn't really work that way. The way I got over my last crush was rather unconventional but it made so much sense. I don't know if it was really a crush or my intuition. I knew there was something that happened between my friend or mine and this person. So that stopped my river of affection rather quickly. I don't know why, but it just did. It was like Hallelujah. And now I consider that person to be a semi-friend. Semi-friends are a little higher than an acqaintance. But in truth this person is still just an acqaintance. But we've managed to segue into quasi-friendship. As did another crush of mine earlier. That one was a little easier, because it became apparent early on we were better suited as friends. So you can't really get over a crush until you spend more time with the person on a non-expectations basis. And sometimes being direct works. I'll say, "I'll say, I kind of have a thing for you. Let me know if I'm just being delusional here. Could you possibly have a thing for me." Even when they say no, you might still feel the urge to crush. That's natural. If we all did what we were suppose to do...the world would be a boring, but lovely place. So that's just my take. I'll update this as more advice as it comes in.

Hot Topic of the Week: Language

Has the English Language become obsolete, especially in a diversified market like Miami-Ft. Lauderdale?

In my Media Management class we we've been watching this video on the Language Barrier in the Miami area. There were a lot of views expressed by the different minority groups present. The Black community members consensus was that they are being maligned for their inability to speak Spanish fluently. There was a large emphasis on the Cuban community and their overtaking the city of Miami. While, some of the UM students offered their views, I wanted to offer mine.

One Student said when she goes to the mall, in certain stores there are only Spanish-speakers. She expressed the need have both languages in a place of business.

I believe this is correct. In a place of business, for the sake of money you better have someone on staff who can navigate both languages successfully or you lose a customer. This is the reality of our Miami market. While there are jobs where you can successfully get by with one language, business (In Miami anyway) really calls for two, because it means you can help the most people. In my line of work, which is in an English department, you have to speak English. They call it English and Communication for a reason. While I try my best to accommodate the people who are looking for the ESL(English as a Second Langauge) department, I don't always know if I am successful. But I feel like, you walk into an English (Mainly Composition and Speech) department, you have to know English. I mean, you have to know English to get into the classes. Still, some people slip by. I often mistake people for ESL and they correct me that they are indeed in an English class in my department. It still shocks and amazes me sometimes. An accent is fine, even endearing sometimes. But if you can't fully understand simple sentences in English, I worry.

Another student (Black, I don't know if that's relevant.) said he thinks English is the ugliest language and that he feels we have to adapt. Learn multiple languages. Just like when computers came into the market, we all had to learn. (He was very well received by the class and audience.)

Why can't we do the same thing that we did with computers, with language?

Here's why not. Spanish doesn't help "me" complete tasks in my day. It doesn't, allow "me" to search the internet, create word documents and charts, or prepare presentations. It doesn't do anything for "me" in my day-to-day that "I" couldn't do in English, except converse with those who only speak Spanish.

That is the atypical American egocentric response. And while it's flawed, it has some merit. How about people stop trying to convince us learning Spanish is so good, and tell my why they think not learning English makes any sense? I'll gladly learn Spanish when everyone knows english. How can you be American, or want to be American or live in America and not learn English. I don't care what age you are. The constitution is written in English. American culture was founded under the English language. The American Indians know English. (Granted, they were beaten into it by slavery, but they know it.) They had to learn. They don't say, hey let's all speak Cherokee. They learned English and as one of the women in the video said. She was told by a Hispanic person that she has to learn Spanish to get a job. How ridiculous is that? How dare someone tell a person, who has more right to this land than anyone, that the language that was beaten into her ancestors is obsolete. How dare they tell her that she must speak Spanish because it's Miami.

The popular argument is that the pilgrims came over, they pillaged the land and made everyone learn English. You can't use that as a defense. Well what if enough Spanish people come over, then can you pillage and make us all speak Spanish? No. That's not a defense. We are a country that was founded under some shady circumstances and we've tried to make amends for it. But we're here. We established the Government we live under (In English). America and English are synonymous.

We shouldn't erase our culture and nativity. I am personally excited to learn about new cultures and regions of the world. Hell, they're so much food I would miss if we only ate American dishes. I don't even eat many American dishes. What is an American dish? Grilled Cheese? BBQ chicken? Who knows. Diversity is a good thing. I couldn't live without curry goat or Cuban bread. I call skinny plastic slippers Chancletas (Couldn't spell it). I am a product of growing up in Miami. My Spanish isn't all there, but it's there.

So let me express my personal view. I know I probably said some things that people don't agree with. But I don't agree with a few things about the community of Hispanics who only speak Spanish. Granted, they will have to have someone read this to them in English, because I am not translating it. Let's start:

1.) When you come to America, learn English. I don't care how old you are or how hard it is. If you feel like you're gonna die soon then don't want to waste the time, get on it. It's better than sitting around waiting to die, watching Telemundo. ( I want to qualify this statement by saying there are people who are brilliant and do jobs only in Spanish because they were educated in a Hispanic country. But in all the stories I hear, in order for that person to move up, they learned English!) Too all those who don't speak English well, don't give English-only speakers stank looks and tell them they should learn Spanish, which brings me to point number 2.

2.) Don't you ever tell me to learn Spanish, or any other language if you can't speak to me fluently in English. I don't care where you came from. If you cant read the constitution to me, recite (not from memory, but from a book or something) some Walt Whitman, read me the Common sense, you're not American. Even if you've read those things translated in Spanish, the mere fact of anyone who hasn't read it that speaks english makes them more American than you. British people are more American than you if you can't read it. It should be a law that you can't be a resident if you don't learn English by at least your second year. You can't even be a citizen unless you express an ample command of the English language, can recite (not from memory of course) the Constitution, and recite one line of great American Literature or poetry from memory.

3.) I'm not telling Americans not to learn another language. Because chances are it will improve your cognitive skills. I want to learn Italian and French. I'm open to other languages, just not when people try to force them down my throat.

4.) There are some people who I adore that only speak Spanish. And I know a lot of my friends are reading this like, oh my Abuela, she's too old to learn to English. I love Spanish Grandma's and they can get away with not learning English, because they're so lovable. But let me never catch one telling me I need to learn Spanish. I actually want to learn Spanish so I can talk to them. I think it's fun. It's limiting not be able to communicate with people you like. And the Abuelita's I've met have a sweet attitude about it and talk to me anyway, and I just nod and pretend like I understand.

5.) Just stop expecting Spanish. That's all I want. The Spanish community has been very accommodating with neighborhoods like Little Havana, where you don't have to speak a lick of English to get by. We have two of the biggest Spanish Network television headquarters here. We are a big juggernaut of the Spanish language. Hell, how do you think Florida got its name. It wasn't Anglican, let me tell you that. We're a making it a little too comfortable for people to not learn English. But I feel like, people are allowed to make themselves at home here. We're a country built on (Legal) immigrants

(Let me just say some other things. I lost a lot of thoughts in writing this. When I get them, they will be up here.
I enjoy Shakira in Spanish more than in English. I think her lyrics are beautiful in her native Colombian Spanish, and in English it's almost a bastardization of her work. So I'm a fan of the Spanish people and the Language, just not the attitude that Spanish is better and that all American have to learn it. It's everyone's choice if they want to be limited. All our political events are conducted in English. If you want to claim your nativity without the American attached to it, go back to you country. For those of you who say, I am this and that, not American. If you were born here, I want you to go back to that country and tell me how much you have in common with those people? How well can you speak to them? Ask them what they think of you? Ask them what they think of America. It's a mini assignment, because chances are you you've done it, or will do it.)

6.) For those of you who already speak Several languages. Shut up in all of them. You already know English...you had to conform in order to be American. Don't enable one group without addressing the other.

7.) Realize that you are ethnocentric. American's go over to Europe and expect all the people to speak English. They think, as my teacher says that louder louder English will translate on its own. But when I go over there. I will have my little translation books. I want people to talk to me in their native tongue. I mean for the first few days a few American signs or guides might be helpful, but I want to be able to order un cafe on my own and say no when someone offers Escargot. Embrace the other cultures.

Language is like religion, you may share it with people, but you can't force it on them. It's not your right. It damn sure ain't your privilege.


I just want anybody's thoughts. Because it's a hot topic and it gets me heated. Especially when people come at me in Spanish, after I told them I only speak English. I try my best to comprehend the Spanish, but if you cant try to speak English...don't try to talk to me.

A Note from the Doc: Welcome to my Blog

Greetings Mental Patients, 

After much decision, I have decided to migrate my Myspace blog onto a platform that more people can access it. I realize people don't all have a Myspace, and I'm not going to say that's sad, because it isn't. For some people, it's sanity. Myspace is like putting out a welcome to every Tom Dick and Harry that you've met over the years. And God help you, if they find you. Mostly it's Lolita who wants you to view her webcam, because she's hot-to-trot. But I use it as a social device. There's the occasional hottie that might chat to. But you have to treat Myspace and even sometimes Facebook as fantasy. It's no substitute for real life experience. It is a powerful media. I learn a lot about this convergence in my Journalism classes. But is this Box of I's and O's (Computer Language) Separating us from one another, or does it bring us closer together? I think it has the power to do both. And it's your(Yes you) responsibility to choose what's real for you. Very few things in this world are genuine and original. And when you find something, someone, some anything that strikes a chord with you. Take it and run with it. I am going to try to put my Grey's Anatomy Blogs in order. But until we meet again, happy internet hunting. 

That's my Rapport (Which is a play on Report, but you got that didn't you? And Look up Rapport, if you don't know what that means. It's French. Au Revoir)

GA: I'm @ Home with Grey's "A Change is gonna come"

I'm Home, I can't utter any other words in my head. My head is all full with me being home.

I brag a lot about Grey's being one of the best shows on Television and I'm right. Not the best show in History just yet, but pretty damn substantial from where I'm standing. My Media Management teacher is gonna hear about this. The ratings have to be through the roof. There's no way, there's no way. So let's do a little chatting about tonight's episode. I planned to do this blog about Grey's coming up, like I usually do. But I think I just missed it so damn much, I couldn't write. I had writer's block. I mean I could squeeze a few paragraphs out, but nothing substantial. I'm flabbergasted for the second time today. I know people want to text me and call me and tell me how they loved the show…I don't want to talk, I want to write. So here I am, typing away instantaneously.

I just want to makes some things clear, Shonda Rhimes, you are a genius and you didn't let me down. Private Practice, was good. It wasn't stellar, but I mean it's one great writer split between two shows. I am glad she didn't let Grey's suffer because of the new endeavor. But I do like Addison's Character still and her show is somewhat interesting with the whole holistic medicine thing. It's sort like what Dedo calls instant soup. It's the same archetype superimposed over a different show. Will audiences get all the show's wacky nuances and Grey banter? It's a very specific verbal flavor. ( e.g. "Let's never Mc—anything." "Stop Addisoning me,")

Ok so back to Grey's…

Tonight's episode was stellar….Change is a beautiful thing.

We fight chance a lot in life. I know I do. I've come a long way from this pudgy little shy boy to someone who's opinionated and articulate. I stand up for myself. I can talk in front of a crowd without feeling the urge to purge. I just, I've changed. And Grey's has certainly changed with me. I'm not saying it's the sole reason why I've changed, but it's a big part in my motivation. How can I, as a writer, sit idly back in awe of this phenomenal writing and story structure and not want to produce anything of my own. The truth is, I can't I have to write. It's who I am. I get in my own way. I procrastinate. I have a lot of thoughts in my head that I shy away from getting on paper. And you better damn believe I am going to drain this brain one day and just write out everything I can, much like an email I sent someone the other day, to which I hope it didn't scare the Be-Jesus out of you, because wow. Anyway, enough about my life. Let's talk about sex.



Grey and Shepherd in the on Call Rooms

I love how Shepherd knows her. He knows her like we know her, because we see everything. We've got God's eye-view. So Break-up sex huh? Kind of a perfect end, to a perfect episode. Derek is our guy, remember. He's that guy that knows everything about you, is disappointed when you hold back, and then loves you in spite of all that he knows, because he knows you better than you know yourself. He knows you really want to have this relationship, but you're so damaged, you don't think you can handle it. It's a lot to ask, with the constant abandonment issues. Let's face it, Ellis wasn't really much of a loving role model, and Daddy wasn't around. The only one who really tried was her step mom, and then she died of hiccups. The Chief has started to take the role of her Father, he's been doing it since that first episode. He really cares about Meredith as his own, and he sees how incredible she is. So Derek knows all this and more, and when Mark thinks that bashing Meredith is his way in (To which he said, "I came to Seattle to get you back." In very gay undertone, which we will get to later.) and it turns around in his face. Derek is our Shepherd, he will lead us to the promise land. We will see your little tequila wasp use that wispy voice to say "I do," and get married and finally be happy. Seriously!

Dr. Yang

Can I just say, that if you watch the progression of Christina Yang on a emotional chart it will astound you. She was this complete gutsy, competitive, surgery hound (and still kinda is, I'm glad they're true to her nature i.e. her getting rid of Izzy when she came begging for help.) but now has emotion. The girl is almost wearing her heart on her sleeve. Of course it's rolled up like how they used to do cigarette cartons back in the 70's when smoking was "cool." Wait, what am I talking about, smoking was never cool. No Smoking! She saw that black man and she saw Burke on that table. She didn't want to let him go, and luckily they brought him back. How funny is it that she calls her interns by number. It's such a Yang thing to do. And when she was waiting to get paged for rule number 5. "When I move, you move," –she stands there waiting for a page.- Obviously none of their Bailey renditions, which I hope you recognize from the first episode went well enough to brag about, except for maybe Alex's. Alex and Yang had a really good bonding moment. I think they've always understood each other as competitors. They were even stuck discharging happy patients in one episode, where they were both avoiding the hugs and celebration of the happy families. They've had a kindred cynical relationship, and we might see that develop more as the season goes on.

Dr. Karev

I think Alex has come tremendously far from being the Frat Guy Doctor. He's still a little rash when it comes to patients that are non-surgical. He's surgery-hungry and there's no gorgeous red-head that he can dive into uteri with this season. She's moved on. He's trying to move on, but there's someone stuck in his head. The infamous Jane Doe/Ava/ Rebecca Pope. Whose husband you might recognize from the Mallrats movie? She left, took her baby, and Alex's one true chance to grow up and be a decent human being. Hence, why he's the new Nazi. He was the only one that did the Bailey speech justice. He treats his interns like puppies. He's still got more developing to do, and he's a secondary character really. He's dirty Uncle Sal, we're gonna invite to the picnic anyway. Because it's what Jesus would freakin' do. (Lmao, at Izzy crying, not because she's crying, but how she says it crying. It was such an honest moment.)



Dr. Stevens

How weird was the story-line for Izzy this episode? I can't even—whatever. The dear was really CGI-ish but I guess someone thought it would be cool. And I actually liked the fact that they did it. It proved some things to us that we've long suspected. We suspected that Izzy was a pretty great doctor (she learned about a deer in a day and brought it back to life.) & we also learned something else: She's crazy as hell. I mean that we kinda knew when she cut her fiancé's L-VAD wire, but operating on a deer, yea that's typical Izzy. She's always out practicing non-conventional and unauthorized medicine. She's a rule breaker in every sense of the word. But her intentions are so good that we kind of overlook that, and love her anyway. Because…she's a model. And as Yang reminds her, she doesn't have to have any skills. She doesn't even have to know how to read. She could just walk around naked all day. But I'm glad she got a chance to prove she was a good Doctor to her interns and throw it back in their faces. Don't talk smack if you're not ready to compare surgical skills you little lackeys. I don't know why I thought of this quote but, as Burke says, "This is the men's room ladies, either whip one out, or close the door." (You have to do that with the close the door hand movement. I know you miss Burke, get over it.)

Georgie…

Poor kid, loses his Father and has to start his year all over. Not to mention, he's married to Callie. I liked Callie. But they were a weird fit from the beginning. And I know with the whole George and Izzy thing, people either Hate it, or love it. There's almost no in between. It's either utterly absurd, or it makes perfect sense. This goes back to Izzy but I will keep it here, because it pertains to George. Izzy is a clinger. She's one of those people that find a great thing and smother it. She forced it with Denny, and he ended up dying. She forced it with Alex, and he couldn't perform, so he cheated. And she's forcing this thing with George. But the truth is, George loves her too. And I don't know if it's a romantic love. But when a friendship runs really deep, and you're single…sometimes it just happens. But George is married. He married Callie and broke her vajayjay… The only real thing to support Izzy's love was her disdain for Callie. Maybe she just needed someone to stir those feelings of jealousy, because the Syph Nurse (Olivia) wasn't really competition. I don't know, it's a weird thing. And in life, I'll admit there are weird things. There are people together who shouldn't be, and they are, and it happens. So I guess it's not so fictional. But George's a good guy. I sort of thought the awesome pep-talk with McGrey or Mini-Grey or whatever we decide to name Lexi was really cool. It gave George a little bit of his mojo back, like when he performed heart surgery in that elevator. He delivered a baby, and boy did I love Sloan's response. "Yea, yea we're all heroes. Can I get back to sewing this woman's arm on?' So if George and Izzy really wanna play this thing out, which might blow up in their face. Because I don't think they have any real sexual chemistry without the Justin Timberlake CD and massive amounts of liquor, then why not see where it takes them. At least till the end of season 4 to see where it goes. Callie is gonna end up pregnant, and I can see it. Was there a part where I missed if it was confirmed or not? Cuz she kinda look like she knew she was.


Dr. Torres-O'Malley

Callie is, as always the outsider. She can't fit in as the new Chief Resident. She can't fit into the job because it wasn't meant for her. It was meant for you-know-who, but that's another issue. Of course Karev doesn't listen to her, and the rest of the crew is less than enthusiastic about following orders from her. She is, and always will be someone who is trying to break the inner sanctum of the family dynamic that was built during their internship. She can't do it, she should just surrender to being on the outside. She thought she would marry George and everyone would listen to her. Again, instant-soup. It doesn't always taste good. I felt really bad for her in the moment where she said she was bad at her job, and bad at being a wife. She's really not that bad at being a wife. It's just that George doesn't love her in that Der-Mer way. He thinks he loves Izzy. Maybe, he does, maybe he doesn't. If she's pregnant she better tell him soon. This is gonna be one of those triangles that will frustrate the hell out of you. Because once somebody is pregnant, it's game over son. You have to do what's best for the child. And it doesn't always equal a happy marriage. Sometimes it's happy parents in other marriages, or relationships independent of one another. Life is sticky my friends, wear some gloves, but everyday you gotta scrub back in. I think she'll get the hang of the job at some point, but my senses tell me, she might not feel like sticking around the whole season. But I have grown to like her, maybe not as much as Addison, but a little more.



Dr. Bailey

Oh my love of the show. Mother Hen and her crazy ass little chicks. But as she says, they're not her interns anymore. They're not her residents either, not her problem. I think the Chief believes that the interns hinder Bailey from concentrating on her surgeries. Bailey used to be the Nazi. She was unfaltering. She stayed at Thanksgiving and picked up every extra surgery she could. She overworked herself. And with her newfound freedom she should be happy. She should be grateful. But like mother hen, she misses all her little chicks. Even though they are still around causing havoc: Grey cleaning severed arms after finding out her other half sister is in Seattle, doing her internship at her hospital no less, Karev ignoring pica because he wants something surgical, Yang transferring her personal feelings into her medicine, Stevens performing surgery on a deer, Georgie redoing everything he learned, but learning something new. He finally feels like the rock star of the group, granted it's a younger group. I was wondering why that damn patient was so hungry after his accident. He ate those damn cotton balls and everything else. All those coins…what a weirdo. I knew people with Pica ate paint off the walls, but that man was ridiculous. He could have asked for some ice chips or something. Out Bauley, she's gonna be all right. She needs to concentrate on her surgeries and getting home to her little boy.

Dr. Sloan

Oh Mark, our little man-whore. Are we really rooting for him. And mean if Derek can't make it work with Grey, maybe there's still hope for Mark and Derek? Lol, Awkward. He came back to Seattle to get his best friend. I say back, because he did visit that one time. We all know he came back to get Addison, and when he realized she didn't want him, only then did he throw himself into getting Derek back. Derek knows this, because Derek knows, he always knows. Even when he doesn't know, he knows. But it's admirable him still wanting to be Derek's friend after sleeping with his wife, and then hoarding his way back into Derek's life, and then running for the same job as him, and then sleeping with Derek's ex-wife some more. Mark's a real pillar of the community. We see a little tension building between him and Izzy, but who knows when they'll get to that story. Anyway…I am on the outs with Sloan. He's a good Doctor, he's got the looks, the dry sarcasm, the dirty verbal undertone, but he hasn't redeemed himself. Not just yet, or as Derek puts it,, "We can get a drink sometime, but not tonight." And that being said to Sloan, who loves instant soup by the way. He thought he was gonna be some super dad, Addison knew, like we did that it would take something bigger to change him. He had to have his heart broken. Because, how will he ever know that pain, the countless times he cheated, until it was done to him. She didn't break his heart hard enough, but it was pretty sufficient to get him to see the err of his ways. But like, Karev he's gonna slip up a time or two. So you have to be ready for it, and almost expect it.

The Chief…

Is doing everything over again…Wife still won't let him home. He's very vague this episode. I don't know if he's enjoying this taking back the Chief position stint. Besides we need the Medical Godfather presiding over the Hospital domain. And He doesn't drink because Meredith's mom turned him into an alcoholic, remember? He was in those AA meetings, and his Sponsor had cancer or something.

I could have went through Derek and Meredith separately…but I chose to do them first together. Tomorrow I will get to them separately in a more detailed report, like the scene between Yang and Shepherd, Meredith's Sister issues. And Lexi Grey…I'm not ready to talk about her yet. I knew who she was the moment I saw her…The girl in the bar…seriously. She's kinda cool, and I'm glad that Meredith caught her little pep-talk with George. So…tomorrow morning people…I am dog tired. I woke up at 6 today. I need my sleep.

So until tomorrow, you get this unedited version of my blog. It's a mess, but it's made with love.

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 :
