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

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

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

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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.

Art Crawl!!!

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

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

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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

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!"

Always Anti-fascist!

I hate Senator Kyl. We're not all fuckwits, honest. Pederson in '06!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Was the face transplant woman high or drunk when her dog bit her causing the disfigurement? She says that the was unconscious when the dog bit her and didn't realize how bad the damage was until she tried to smoke a cigarette and couldn't-- presumably because she had no mouth!
