Aimee, part of it is that for McDreamy to kiss her... well, that would make him less McDreamy. Because McDreamy did the right thing and decided to stay with Addison. He can be tortured about it, but if he's really being McDreamy, then he does the right thing, even when it hurts. Or so Shonda Rhimes might say... I think. It was totally right for him to be all present and consoling. But a kiss would have crossed that. THOUGH she could have initiated the kiss and that would have been a different story for me. Acceptable within her character. Pathetic and sad, but still in character (and social)!

Sumi, I agree that she didn't know. I just don't know if she does now.

Which also leads me to Adele! Does Adele know? Did she at the time? Does she know that he goes to see Ellis 2 or 3 times a week now?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Why me?

I don't know! I already said it was irrational and that I was ashamed! What more do you want?

Although I would be into it. I'd probably take pictures and post them....

And suddenly I don't feel so ashamed anymore.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

ITA, Kat.

Although, I don't really like the wife, but good on him for trying to fix it. And, how much did I love Cristina's apology? Cracked my shit up. But, I did feel that Burke should have apologized to Dr. Halfrect, as well.

but it made sense that he wouldn't. He's actually within his right as her boss to question what she does. It would make him a micromanaging kinda guy, which wouldn't be out of character. I also didn't buy that he never questioned another surgeon about something before. It's his JOB as a teacher to question, so why wouldn't he. Though, she was so right with calling him on the basis of it.

Each episode makes me like Burke more. And he was right in what he said to Cristina. I like watching him learn how to draw appropriate boundaries between his persona as boss's boss and his persona as boyfriend.

I don't like Addison either. But that's a fault of the writing, I think. There's no reason to like her because we don't know her at all. The last shot of the two of them in the bed with the dog was pretty sweet though.

It was, but I could see the discontent, for lack of a better word, in McDreamy's eyes. Like he was thinking, "I'm here, I'm trying to love her again, but damn if I can't get Meredith off my mind and wish it her were her and I and the dog instead of Addison." Or maybe that's just me and my love for tragic, star-crossed relationships.

There are good times for the Big Boss to come visit me in my office, like when I'm busy and multi-tasking, and generally looking impressive.

When iTunes is playing the Rubber Ducky song at high volume is not one of those times.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Probably not, shrift, but it made me laugh.

I'm bored, and today is still nowhere near ending.

What did people do this weekend?

I had a good weekend, with a mix of socializing, getting chores and errands done, and collecting brownie points at work for something that didn't take me very long.
