Man, my reading comprehension is low low low. Sorry. I'm a little burnt out right now.

Poor Kat.

Gray's anatomy is making me happy. Very very happy.

Had to make a late evening trip to the QFC for diapers etc. During the 15 minute visit I discovered:

• They've pulled all the pseudoephedrine-containing products off the shelves, except Claritin-D. Why you can still get Claritin-D but not any of the Sudafed drug cocktails that have 3, 4, or 5 active ingredients?
• A Tina Turner cover of "I Want To Know What Love Is," except that it wasn't by Tina Turner; Allmusic lists some 125 recorded versions (all of which are bad... except for the Foreigner version, which is meh) but none by Tina. A little research eventually got me the answer -- Shirley Bassey! Shirley Bassey playing on a grocery store muzak system? Huh.
• A cover of Ani DiFranco's "32 Flavors" by what I thought was Jessica-Hillary-Brittney-Ashlee (they all run together for me)... only, again, it wasn't. It was by Alana Davis and came out in 1997. Huh. Apparently, I have a fairly large musical blind spot during my England year.
• They must take half the diapers off the shelf after 8pm just to confuse the sleep-addled parent into buying the super-expensive ones.
• Oh, and this odd food product. 43%? What's the other 57%? Isn't there a law against this?

I'm still a bit peeved that Kroger rearranged everything three years ago when they finally made it a "Kroger QFC" and not "Art's Family Center with a QFC sign." I'm still going to the old aisles and not finding what I need. Art's was so local back in the day. Kroger has done its best to wring the localness out of QFC.

I'm about to go to bed, but I'm so glad I got to see pictures of Lily. Egad is she cute. I want to nibble on her cheeks, they are so delicious.

Also, Laura is lucky because Alibelle and her mom are such utter charm bombs. And her mom *is* youthful. I was so surprised when I met her.

On Friday Almanzo and I got to see the Sydney Aquarium. It is just so beyond nifty that to make that adjective even start to apply I'd have to yell it at decibels that would deafen people. Though in the shark tank, I had a major "What would BillyTee do?" moment as everyone else assumed that the small fish clinging to some of the sharks must have been baby sharks, even though they looked nothing like sharks and there were plaques declaring them to be remoras. It was almost as bad as the time at the Milwaukee museum when a father told his kids that manequin of Cleopatra was actually Salome and had them sing a song very loudly about her dancing and be slutty and getting a guy beheaded.

Oh lord yes. I had a moment like that in Zion National Park, with tourists confidently declaring the bighorn sheep on the opposite side of the gorge to be mountain goats.

Remoras are very cool, and can be found in the MGM hotel in Vegas. Minus their ride, which afforded a very clear view of their suction cup.

Thanks Trudy, Sue and Cashmere for the WW info. I think it is funny that I only watch WW

for josh and donna

and I missed their

only scene together.

Also, you can take your Dr. McDreamy Sheppard and Burke and asshole with heart-of-gold, but George is all mine. Miiiiine. He's so frelling adorable and I just want to put him in my pocket and take him home.

Yeah, especially given the recent Mark Ruffalo conversation in Movies -- they're kind of the same type.

I like George, but he lacks focus and intensity. I'm not good with the waffley. I like direction (perhaps because I feel lacking in it). He'd so be stuck in the best friend zone.

But many of the Ruffalo-esque characters are reasonably attractive.
