a television war between the cynics and the saints
You're not supposed to curse by an open window, right? At least, you're not supposed to do something by an open window. Whistle? Throw out the bathwater? Isn't there a proverb? I was in the Publix parking lot today, stopped in the middle of an aisle while someone pulled into a spot in front of me, and the guy behind me honked his horn. I checked the rearview mirror and said "fuck off, man" and then looked out my window, where this guy was just walking by and grinning at me. I jumped. "Not you, sir," I said, and I grinned back.
Watched Grey's Anatomy tonight and my, did a lot of things happen! First of all, I have it bad for Patrick Dempsey. *facepalm* He's so cute! Seriously, he comes on screen and I exclaimoften actually out loud"he's just so cute!" So far, there has been no actual squealing. Jesus. But, um, enough about me. Let's talk about his wife. My first guess is she won't give him a divorce. I haven't really come up with a lot of other viable options because 1) I really want to like him, 2) they're obviously estranged enough that they don't usually contact each other for at least weeks at a time, and 3) he, uh, lives in a trailer. On a huge plot of land. It's a perfectly fine trailer, I'm just saying he lives alone. Oh, and the Chief of Surgery/Medicine, whatever, who's name I don't know, Shepherd's mentor, said the secret, illicit relationship was a bad idea because of the intern/resident (or was it "attending"?) thing, not because Shepherd was already, like, married. So, estranged, but why estranged? And why not divorced? All hopefully in a way that will not make him a lying, cheating asshole.
As for Meredith, I wish she'd have more, I don't know. Personality? Her character has a great backstory and set-up, but she comes across as flat and humorless and boring. I've seen her laugh, but she's not funny; she said tonight her mother and her secret were too much to handle anymore, but she's just never seemed that upset. It's the opposite of considering someone and coming back with "I just don't know what you see in them." On paper there's plenty to recommend her, but she's got no spark.
Meanwhile, in another part of the episode, I was shocked nobody walked into the locker room when Alex was on his knees staring at another guy's penis. Obvious? maybe, but it would have been comedy gold! And at the end, "you gave me syphilis!" Priceless!
I watched Desperate Housewives too, but I was mostly keeping my mom company while I did the crossword (the Post'sI always let my mother have the Times). I've caught it a couple of times, but I've just never gotten into it. I don't really care enough to comment, except to say wow! is Teri Hatcher skinny. God knows they're all skinny, but I used to watch Lois and Clark, and I kept wincing every time I saw Susan in jeans.
