I don't think that McDreamy is really inactive. I thought he was appreciably warmer to Addison and in a recent ep their cuddling with the McDog was sweet. I agree with the greater idea that it might spur him to express his feelings towards Meredith, but honestly, their triangle is getting stale. And I'd rather have him with Addison, because if the Burke-Sheppard interaction, when Addison comes in and she calls Burke by his first name, indicates what might be possible among characters who are all at the same work level, then I'd like more of that. Plus, I'm a bit character spoiled so I know who's coming next and it won't be pretty. I mean, the character = pretty, but the interaction, I assume, won't be.

GA: It would be really bad if the process of waking up McDreamy (look a secondary reason to call him McDreamy!) Bailey's HUSBAND dies!!

Yeah, sometimes it's NSM about the conflict as the reactions to it.

When I came into work this morning the guys were discussing the ads, and then one started bitching that his DVR didn't get GA. One of the others started quoting bits of it.

Whither the testosterone, boys?

did you see the teaser? with George's dream? That wasn't about estrogen.

Yeah, but they're not quoting that bit. In fact, it's the female lines that are getting repeated.

Ha! Well the female lines are the best part. Plus that bit isn't quotable.

from this AM's Grey Matter: [link]

About the shower scene: I knew it was the Superbowl, people. I knew a little girl-on-girl would be good with the Superbowl boys and maybe keep them watching. I’m not stupid. But I also wanted to do something a) that was not gratuitous and b) that is turned on its ear in the second part that airs next week. And Katie, Sandra and Ellen (that’s Izzie, Cristina and Meredith) were total troupers for pulling it off with such humor. They wore sweatpants and little tube top thingies and soaped each other up for hours without a single word of complaint. And it was cold that day. Really cold. It’s why I love our cast. I write stuff and they leap. They’re leapers. So watch for next week’s shower scene and remember this one and know that I am shouting, “HA! You think girl-on-girl threesomes are real? NO WAY. THIS is how women take care of each other.”

White fonted for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

Kat - thanks for reminding me of Grey's Matter -- I ALWAYS forget to go over there and it's totally worth doing.

I don't see that he has much of a case. There is a federal law that says you can't do that and they did that. I don't think the authorization of force covered domestic spying in any way.

Oh, Gud, that's... oh, what's the word? ...quaint.

Senator Kyl just explained to all us idjits out here in TeeVee Land that we should understand that this is ALL COVERED by Article II, which gives the President authority to use any and all necessary means to conduct a war, end of discussion. This is what was done by our President; ergo, this is what was necessary; ergo, this is legal. Questions? Read Article II!

I think he fancied it up with longer words, but that's the gist of it.

Oh, and by the way? 9/11. Also, 9/11. And why do all these disagreeable obstructionists in the lesser party want 9/11 to happen again? Because, clearly, they want to stop Bush from preventing another 9/11. Because 9/11 could happen again. 9/11.

Fuckbuckets.

Words you should never have to say on the phone in your cube: "The burning sensation started..." I'm really trying to pay attention to other things and stop overhearing the conversation. I do have two doctor's calls to make today, but they're much more opaque. And less with the burning.

Did anybody mention the Lusitania??

At the pinnacle of my testify-before-congress disgust is a permanent throne for Condoleezza Rice, blabbing about the unexpectedness of the Lusitania being sunk when testifying before the 911 commission. The poor commission members were all like, "Yes, yes, I remember when that happened you whippersnapper, let's get on with the incriminating stuff!"
