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.

Must watch GA tonight. Whitefont killing me.

Also killing me. a headache. I kinda had one yesterday, but I am on dose 3 of Ibu today. It starts in the temples and goes down into the jaw. I never get headaches.

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.

Hey Perkins. Iffn you're bored can you make a clean version of that FAQ thing we've been working on? And FYI nice lady, 5 of 12 of your CDs are done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What did people do this weekend?

Not much.

About GA: Did anyone get a Golden Girls vibe off the older ladies? I'm not one who believes the right thing is trying to save your marriage-- I think the right thing is being honest about your feelings, and being gentle with those you care(d) for. IFF McDreamy is still in love with his wife (not sure I've seen the evidence), then he's trying to do the right thing. Otherwise it's just the stiff, delaying the kaboom thing. Cristina rocked, Burke rocked, Alex slimed, Izzie and George had their moments in the sun.

Perkins! Colin just got back from the Galapagos--are you taking a cruise?

No. Of course, "You're So Damn Hot" was scheduled to play right after it, so if my boss had waited a couple of minutes, he would have caught me dancing in my chair.
