GA: My heart broke for Cristina there. I've read around the web that her reaction could be read as relief or anguish, and I completely don't see it. It was all anguish from where I was sitting. Sure, she said she was free, but she didn't sound like she was enjoying it.

Kat, what you hate also irritates me. Oyveh is all I have to say to it.

Did "house-fixing" shopping today. That means replacing my normal bulbs with the curly one, finally getting machine washable place mats, a lock for my storage bin, a fan (dude, Vornado's at Bed Bath & Beyond? With me holding the 20% off coupon? I totally bought one for the living room).

I'm tired, and irritated. Some jackass was half parked in my parking spot when I got back with all my stuff. I saw him when he eventually ran back to get his car, and he wasn't even hanging out in my apartment complex. Jackass.

Holy crap. All of my Vegas stories from this trip are bathroom related!

I went into the bathroom at a rest stop on the way back this morning. I walked in behind this woman. She was pretty picky about the bathroom and wanted a clean stall (and really, who doesn't). She went into the next stall over from me. She was one of those perchers. You know the type: The women who refuse to sit on a toilet seat.

Anyhow, lady could not hit the bowl. Instead she splashed the floor and almost me, a stall away. She proceeded to get onto her cell phone and talk from the stall (which is a phone foul). THEN she didn't flush the toilet nor wipe off the pee. NOR did she wash her hands.

My favorite thing? As I watched her walk away while talking on her cell phone. I noticed the splashes of urine on her pant leg.

Seriously? She was so freaking yucky.

ita, that's how I saw it too.

Cristina did not seem relieved at all. She didn't want the wedding, but she wanted him. And her delay and freak out wasn't doubt, in my view, but it was really not knowing what to say. Meanwhile, Burke has a point on one level. I mean he is constantly prodding her and has his own doubts too.

Damn. If there is no Burke next season I will be bereft. I loved that character.

Yeah, I thought that was a real I'm-going-to-fuck-this-up freakout at the wedding. This being the wedding, not the marriage. Remember, Cristina doesn't fail well. And she doesn't do things she's not good at. So this whole wedding - I think she never really got why it was so important, but still, accepted that it was. And found herself completely out of her depth. She would never make a mistake like forgetting about the vows when she scrubbed in if it was something surgery related.

I'm trying to find some more sympathy for Burke, because, you know, it's not a crime to care about your wedding. And god knows Cristina can't be easy to live with. But I feel like he grabbed onto doubts whenever she didn't hit it out of the park on all these things, without seeing how far she'd come just to almost get it right. And maybe that's it - Cristina doesn't fail. So Burke sees her failing (or, rather, not doing it perfectly) and figures she obviously doesn't care enough. Which - doesn't really make me like him any more. So much for that little exercise.

Also WRT GA, I keep forgetting to note that Marti Noxon is an executive producer.

WRT Burke. I don't know. He acted rashly or he thought about what his mom had said and took the opening to act on his doubts. Poor Cristina.

GA: I think Burke honestly thought that in trying to be more what he wanted Christina was diminishing herself. Which, not really his call I'd say, and possibly a rationalization for his own unexamined doubts, but ta least trying not to be self-centered.

Holy crap. All of my Vegas stories from this trip are bathroom related!

We went with a woman who HAD to see all of the top 10 bathrooms in Vegas from the show they did on the Travel Channel. For reals. I think we managed to see one with her before we struck out on our own.

Seriously? She was so freaking yucky.

If she was that nonchalant about her own hygiene, why so picky about the stall?

I confess to taking a picture inside the bathroom at the ... Paris? Hotel in Vegas. It was so pretty!

Nothing I hate more than people who leave their pee all over the bathroom. It serves her right that she took some with her.
