Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My brother has taken pictures of the swank bathrooms in his hotel rooms and sent them to me. Cancer conferences often score fancypants hotels.
I'm about to turn Mister Kitty into slippers. He occasionally recalls he likes to jump up on the end bookcase and knock things off a nearby shelf. And he's so.fucking.persistant. I pull him off, try to distract him. As soon as I'm settled, he's back up there and I have to lunge to rescue my knickknacks. AHRG. He'll eventually forget again, but AHRG.
And, there is the other hiring/firing aspect of whether or not Isiah Washington's contract was going to be renewed. I do love the character of Burke even I think IW is an ass. But the reality is, if he were on his way out, this is a lovely and heartbreaking way to achieve that for the character and for Cristina.
Mr. Kitty,
Get off the bookshelf please and be good to sara. Or else.
Love,
Kat
Kat, I am in total agreement with you on the meta. Love Burke, regardless of the actor's shortcomings, and this was kind of an elegant move by the writers, really. I'm impressed that they didn't telegraph his leaving at all in previous episodes, yet I completely believe that he is gone and not coming back.
Back in the day I saw an interview with Isaiah Washington, and he was kinda goofy and un-Burkish. Okay, a lot. So I made the clean separation between the man and the character before the whole anti-homosexual and strange behaviour started. Which made it easy to love Burke (or at least be drawn to him, despite his flaws) while thinking the actor an asshat. I can see how his asshattedness may affect his current and future employ, but I want as much Burke as possible.
As soon as I'm settled, he's back up there and I have to lunge to rescue my knickknacks. AHRG.
Deb Grabien -- because she has 11 (12?) cats -- learned the trick of securing knickknacks in place with sealing wax. I think she uses the kind of sealing wax that can be used with glue guns -- the inexpensive kind. She says it works great.

taking notes for future cat-owning
These items WERE tacked down with something similar. He's pretty damned strong when determined (he can bruise when he's kneading.) I am smart enough to only put the relatively unbreakable stuff within extended-cat-reach.
But Kat's stern words seemed to have worked. He's busy being passed out.
Oh! Sealing wax on the knickknacks . Huh.
I saw Waitress today. ehn. I am a traditionalist in many ways about romantic comedies, and no consequence infidelity is not so much for me. At least not from characters that I assume I am supposed to like. Performances were good.
