I'm pretty proud of myself today, I did 2 miles of the Jamie Bamber cardio sprint/walk and another mile of just walking (30 minutes total for 3 miles) this morning and was only winded, not dead on my feet afterwards. Now heading to the Y to swim and see about doing some punching bag work.

Wow, Matt. You're working hard. If only Jamie Bamber were there.

Yep -- it can definitely be read as "Knowledge of truth through cake"(or lumps of food, according to my Oxford Latin Dictionary.)

Okay, irritating kvetch about GA: Due to my recent experience, there is no way that twins born at 34 weeks would be held in a recovery room. Those noodles, no matter how big are still considered at risk preemies (due to lung development etc) and would be in warmers in the NICU. They might not be there for long, but probably overnight.

I sometimes wish that my knowledge on this weren't enough for me to watch TV and recognize the ish. The song at the end, by Ingrid Michaelson, Keep Breathing, is fantastically apt. And a nice companion to Anna Nalick's song Breathe which the show has used at least twice.

Okay, on the Burke/Cristina front? WTF? does this mean Washington is off the show after all? Distinct possibility. And George? I know that he's not off, but what now? And that felt cheap. Like Izzy not going back. Who's not going back next year? Meredith. Lame lame lame.

Although "experience the truth through cake batter" isn't such bad advice.

It would be a totally different website, but still a darned tasty one.

GA: Ah yes. See no real HS but lots of WTF?? I think that Burke won't be back so that we can experience the drama of George failing, George and Callie having the baby to save the marriage, George having the wife who is more successful in the professional he failed at than he ever was etc.

On the mumps thing from a little while back -- it used to be thought that if an adult man got mumps it would leave him sterile, but it's been more recently shown that, while that is a possible side effect, it's not anywhere near as common as people once thought. (I can recall a few books set around WWII where a couple wasn't able to have kids because the husband had mumps while he was in the army. Or, where they didn't have kids for some other secret reason, and told people that it was because he'd had mumps in the army.)

oooh.. that's a good one. I am so surprised by Bailey NOT being chief resident. I mean in reality it makes ZERO sense based on the conversation early in the season with the Chief. But it does bring in good angst.

I am heartbroken for Cristina. Truly.

Jesus, I hope not. I like Callie, but I'm so fucking tired of George and his shit.

It certainly sounds like Burke may be out, and I have no idea how they'll handle George. Do we know if anyone besides Addison is going to spin-off land?

Propecia (a hair-regrowth drug, initially developed to treat prostate problems) carries a warning that women shouldn't take or touch it. It doesn't say why.

It's because of birth defects. Serious enough that it's not just pregnant women but basically any women in their child-bearing years are supposed to stay far far away. Kind of freaky if you ask me.

On a truly random note:

We had dinner last night at Nines at the Palms Hotel (note to Lee, you might really like staying there next time you're in Vegas), and in the bathroom there was a sign that noted it was against hotel policy for there to be more than one person in a stall at a time. On the fine print, it said that they also did not allow sex nor drug use in the stalls.

I definitely wanted a picture of it but I think the bathroom attendant may not have approved.

Kat, my thinking on Bailey was that, if we take this to the real world for a moment, all that bullshit that's gone on with her interns has to reflect badly on her. I'm not saying she did fail them like she keeps thinking, but seriously. There's about one of them - unless I'm forgetting something about Karev - who hasn't flown seriously off the rails over the past year.
