The Guy That Works Out WAY too much.

God, so, this guy, Jake Turner, has a lot of issues. i will say, he clearly was getting to hit a hot Bella back in grad school, when she had the fun hair, and a clothing taste that I completely admire. Also, in grad school, she apparently liked to go to concerts, and go out and party, and dressed super awesome. I would have liked Bella Bloom in grad school, hell, that skirt she had on killed.

But, overall, Bella is an unlikeable adult, pretty much. I mean, her friends seem cool, which is now the oddest development in television, the fact that you cast a main character, who, all in all, is not that great person, but have fun friends that are clearly more entertaining than she is. (See Grey's Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer, hell, even look back at Joan of Arcadia).

The most entertaning part of this episode was, of course, the googling of exes, which, not only does EVERYONE do, but with the advent of facebook, is even easier now. So, good for the show for having writers that at least are up with the times, now, they just need to make their lead character, more likeable.

The last episode ended with Day 6, with 359 days to go before she ain't getting married, ever.

Because this episode begins in the morning, and, after she had decided to keep high school boy's cat, and knew he was out of town, we will, for argument's sake, say this episode begins on Day 7.

So, on Day 7, she goes to see the race, and have brunch with her friends, misses her sister's odd aerobics class, and, good old Jake creeps on by the flower shop. I cannot get a read on whether they did the mountain bike date on this day, or the next day. But given the mountain bike timing, and the fact that it is still light out, the whole time they are gone (remember, Bella's already had a long day 7) I have to think that Mountain Bike date was on the next morning.

On Day 8, this is Mountain Bike date, and we start by getting a great Brave and the Bold, comic book reference, and Jake is way way way too touchy with Bella. God, it is odd. But, after the bike ride, they go to the beach for the co worker beach date, Bella comes home and catches her sister about ready to bang her fiance, and they make a ridiculous "no sex till marriage" pledge. (Waiting for your wedding day is fine, and commendable, however, when you do it all the time, stopping, is just dumb). The day ends with Jake and Bella agreeing to "get together tomorrow" before work.

On the morning of Day 9, they are kayaking, and Jake is totally into his own shit. Bella goes rock climbing with him mid day, and makes plans for that same night. SERIOUSLY, Bella, don't make same day plans. It is too desperate, and, you JUST reconnected with this guy 2 days ago, when he threw shit at you. Honestly, it is ok to stay at home at night, and not be doing stuff with him all the time. Bella and Jake go to a bar, play trivia, and have sex. She has now had sex with two different guys in the same week, while trying to find her high school boyfriend, whose cat she has. Bella, is a bit easy, and to quote her sister, is a bit of a tramp.

Then, day 10 comes around, and Bella is unsure as to how she going to proceed. The two go and rock climb some more, blah blah blah, he shows up at work, gets one more chance, which I guess is the same night (odd planning). AND internal inconsistency, earlier, Jake said trivia was once a week, now, it is every night. Jake tells of his ex, which is his boss, and Bella freaks..

Bella is outside with all her friends, on the 11th day (no one is working today, it must be a weekend), and, that night, Bella is checking out the list, which, has to mean, that the next episode will start on the morning of day 12, which means 353 more days, until Bella Bloom is forever alone.

I just don't know where they are going.

I am trying to figure out what message this show is trying to send with the flooding analogy. First off, I don't get it. I just don't get what dramatic theme was kicking around the writer's room, when someone said "What if the place flooded, on the second floor, and as a result, someone found pancreatic cancer super early?"

Dumb luck?

Who knows. What we did learn this week was that McBitchy is STILL freaking out about living with McDreamy. And, here is my issue, she went up on the cliff, and did the candles thing, so that Derek would know she was serious, yet, it somehow seems odd to her that Derek wants to JUST live with her, and not everyone else. Sad.

Also, I am not digging the needy Izzie. First off, living with Kerev? The way he has been acting lately, seems to come out of nowhere. I know they are trying to get the season moving fast, but, this seemed very heavy handed and forced, and, I mean, we still don't have a real resolution to George and Izzie. They are no longer together, because it was awkward and strange, but, will they talk about it? Are they just never mentioning it again? What the hell?

Lexie, my favorite sexy intern was, as McSteamy said this week, quite pathetic. I mean, god, just tell George you think his dopey face is awesome, and get over it. George is a huge whore like Meredith, he will bang you.

For those George defenders out there, remember, he's had McBitchy (who hasn't at this point?), he's had Izzie, he's had Callie, and he's had Nurse Olivia. George is a Meredith level whore, and the fact that Lexie, as cute as she is, would even have to try to bed him, who, bizzare.

Finally, the Chief was off this week too. I know he's freaking the fuck out about his hospital dropping (i.e. PLUMETTING) in the ranks, but not even listening to our sage of all things Dr. Bailey, just is dumb.

Dr. Bailey is always right, just LISTEN to her.

Sigh.

Meredith was crazy this week, but not bitchy. That sucks, I want her drunk, bitchy, and sleeping around, that's the Meredith Grey I love.

We LOVE the EX LIST!

God, we have found a show with a lead character who may be as selfish, and whoreish, as McBitchy herself, Meredith Grey.

God, Bella Bloom? Her of being a crazy to Alex on Grey's fame, is the lead here, and, well, she is nutty and fun, so, she could be our new meredith.

"You Need to Marry WITHIN THE YEAR or you'll spend the rest of your life alone"

While I dig vapid selfishness, I don't see this show lasting, why? The above quote.

So, while I will comment on this show, every week, we have to follow the timeline, just for fun.

Day 1: Bella meets the Psychic, so, she has to be MARRIED within a year, and has only 364 days to actually get hitched.

Day 2: Bella goes back to the Psychic, sees the ad for Johnny Freaking Diamont, and begins her hunt, that night, she hears BITCH, a great song.

Day 3: We hear about Bella's horrible mole, and, like Meredith Grey, she freaks out over nothing. (side note, McWife commented that it could cancer, and, sadly, that is completely overlooked, could have been a good educational moment).

Day 4: Johnny and Bella the Whore wake up in bed together, and Johnny begins to go a little nuts. Presumably, the same day (we will give the show the benefit of the doubt here) she has the fight with him when he is trying to leave for rehearsal. We will also assume that the same night, they are in the bath tub together.

Day 5: They wake up, in bed together, at Bella's house, that night, she hears that Revenge is stronger than love, and that she will DIE ALONE.

Day 6: Bella is talking to her sister, at the house, and, there you go, one episode down, and she only has 359 days to convince one of her ex's to marry her, and apparently, some guy from high school is the next big step!

I mean, I love the big fuck you song at the end, and I really want to buy it on itunes, very very badly.

I don't even know you.....so?

Well, with that, the brand new season of the best show on television started, and, while she was a little neurotic throughout the show, Meredith was, sadly, not much of a bitch. Sigh.

First off, I think that the show is making a bold and smart choice by having the focus for the season seemingly be one getting the hospital better again, and making everyone better surgeons. I think such a story arc will be fascinating, as, I feel that it will show more stress, more drama, and lead to more instances of Meredith being a total bitch.

I also liked every one's favorite Chief, Richard, last night, in that he showed not only range as an actor, but was a patient teacher to Callie McBisexual, and placed trust in his doctor's. Great leadership, and great teaching skills, all in all, good guy.

Speaking of good guys, I agree with what Izzie said, that McDreamy is a good guy. I also agree with what Chang said, that Meredith and McDreamy will never make it. She is still fundamentally selfish, and fragile, while McDreamy is a great guy, smart, confident, accomplished, and he is taking her on, essentially, as s project.

Look at her problem committing to moving in together. Is moving together a big deal? Yes, of course it is, when McWife and I moved in together, it was a huge deal. But, honestly, we made the decision and stuck with it, and certainly didn't have wack job discussions with it, going back and forth, with all of our co workers. Hell, if we had, I would hope one of them would have acted like Chang, and said, "You two don't have a chance in hell."

Having said that we had some more good last night. George was not annoying, which is nice. Lexie was a tad bit annoying, but still adorable, so, we forgive her as best we can. Kerev was Kerev. I mean, Meredith did stick her nose in it, and Izzie got burned because of it, but, Kerev does not open up, and, when he did, it hurt him. He's a complex guy, and is great character actor, and, well, I almost lost it when Izzie came home, and he was with some random topless chick.

Nurse Rose was a bit of a wack job last night. First off, she cut McDreamy, which was not good, and ultimately, allowed them a way to get rid of her. However, she exhibited some characteristics of bat shit crazy that she just had never shown before. This proves that all women are bat shit crazy when pushed to a certain extent, and, well, Rose had enough. I will miss her, and she seems to be going the way of Nurse Olivia, and leaving us behind.

However, this blog would not be complete without mention of the JOURNEYMAN, Major Doctor, who showed up, got Chang all hot and bothered, suggested some great doctor stuff, and was a huge ass. He was great, and, while I did love journeyman last year, I was pleased with Kevin McKidd's performance, and I hope that he gets made a series regular.

Long and short of it? The two hours drug a little long last night. I feel like it was a strong start to the season, and, while I am sad to lose Nurse Rose, and her craziness, I still hope that Meredith and her bitchiness stays around.

Candles in a Field.

I have to say, I am sorry it took me so long to get back to this, and so long to post about the Grey's Finale. Life gets busy, the wedding was fun, and I really meant to keep coming back.

The season final of Grey's Anatomy was nothing short of sensational, and, in that regard, it took me a week of retrospect to truly be able to write about it.

I feel like the best performance went to, without question, Kerev. He was a rock, he was soft, he was Kerev, and he was stunning. In the end, when Izzie was going to give him what he wanted, she ended up giving him what he needed, just someone to cry to, not simply for his child or crazy gf, but for his mother, and, Izzie was there. Fantastic.

Next up, Dr. Bailey, she was superb, per usual, and every damn thing she did, especially her many, MANY star wars references were great. Just great.

Yang too was awesome, but, I digress, as there was good plot movement, that must be discussed.

I am glad we are over George and Izzie, I do not like them together, and am glad that Izzie will now have something genuinely complicated with Kerev, and that Sexy Lexie will have to explore what is clearly the huge crush she has on George. GEORGE by the way, may Join Kerev, McDreamy and McSteamy cast member status and bed three girls on the show, in Meredith, Izzie, and now possibly Lexie. That would be nice.

The Dr. Hahn and Callie stuff really snuck up on me, while I suspected Dr. Hahn for quite some time, Callie's apparent woman love caught me off guard, and could be a nice pup to Dr. Hahn's clear butch tendency. I really cannot wait to see that play out.

Finally, it looks as if Nurse Rose and McDreamy is done. That may not be so bad. Meredith, while a bit selfish when it came to putting live viruses into the brains of others, was genuinely missing her McDreamboat, and took affirmative, non bitchy steps to get him. Make no mistake, she is still a raging bitch, and I hate her, but the revelations about her mother were astounding, and she played it perfectly. Her showing up on the lot with all those candles was inspired, and fun to watch.

McDreamy, however, was the real class act, and I am starting to think that he has a clause in his contract that requires he always look like the best guy out there, because, before he could get back with Meredith, he had to leave, talk to Rose, and end it with her, because, it was the right thing to do.

All in all, I know this is less snarky then normal, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. For the summer, expect Big Brother updates, the return of the Mole, POSSIBLE Swington discussions, and, of course, a wait for more Grey's.

Have A bitchin summer everyone.

The Strike is OVER, it's time to LIVE BLOG!

Good evening friends, as some of you know, McFiance and I get married in 9 short days. So, while you all go and try to find good presents for us, I present to you the first Grey's Blog since the strike started, and the last one for at least a few weeks.

When we last left the good people of Grey's, McBitchy was all pissed that McDreamy liked the nurse (I really don't remember her name, let's pray they keep her though, because honestly, I love any women characters that Meredith Grey hates). Speaking of, Sexy Lexie was upset too, but we feel bad for her because she had to watch after Meredith's dad be all drunk and crazy while Meredith was a drunken whore in college.

Alright, here we go:

8:00 p.m: A recap, and, guess what, it sucks ass and is not NEAR as funny as mine was. Not near. Oh, btw, this ep is entitled "Where The Wild Things Are". I think the asnwer to that is Meredith's dorm room in college, I could be wrong.

8:04: Eric Dane and McDreamy are talking about the fact that the Nurse, who apparently has a bit of class, because she doesn't randomly sleep with boys, like, say, McBitchy, and who anticipation is better than sex. (I disagree, but, I like that the Nurse isn't a whore).

8:07: We learn that competition is an orgasm for Izzie, nice.

8:08: A really banged up car, which apparently was attacked by Mountain Cougars shows up, shit, entrails are falling out. And we get the best quote of the night, so far "intestines in the hands"

During the commercial break we learn that will smith has a new movie coming out, which, sadly, is not a big screen adaption of Fresh Prince. Sad, no work for Carlton that isn't Celebrity Fit Club.

8:11: BEARS! It was a damn bear cub and his mother, SHIT. Nasty shit. I can tell you what, I just saw MY brother last week, I am glad no BEARS were involved.

8:12: Izzie has a shit patient, which may be Cheech, I am not sure.

8:13: SEXY LEXIE, who, I love, is hanging out with George, and apparently Izzie and George are still having problems. I wish they would find more for her to do than pine after kerev.

8:15: NEWLYWEDS, awwww nice, although the 10 day thing does seem a bit odd, and he was smooth, "I'll miss you while you're gone". Nice, very very nice. This chick is cute, she should not be so insecure, and yes she does look crazy, and YES that's her skull cut off!

Commercials, Iron Man comes up, man, I think ABC must own stock in Super Hero flicks, someone, look this up for me.

8: 21: Meredith gives Derek some NASTY ass looks, NASTY ass, and McSteamy is apparently Pro Meredith. I don't think this is very real, guys would not do this with each other, not at all. They support current girl more than past girl, but since this show is written by a woman, I will forgive the unguy like acting.

8:23: Cheech is freaking out on Izzie, totally, because she is trying to score points in some odd former intern game that does not involve sleeping with each other, so, in some regards, that's ok, but, I don't get Izzie with Cheech.

8:24: Meredith is STARTING TO FREAK OUT. She is comparing the guy who attacked the bear who married his rebound girl to McDreamy, and she is being bitchy about it. Apparently she doesn't need a reason to talk to Derek even though, clearly, she does.

8:29: The Nurse is quite nice and being very very flirty with Lexie, claims she loves Derek, and Meredith overhears. Lexie tries to be a bit funny with Meredith, who, of course, yells at her to stop stealing things.

8:31: The CHIEF of medicine is endorsing this POINTS game that DOES NOT help patients. I never, EVER, EVER want to be at a learning hospital.

8:33: Cheech is still fucked up, and damn if izzie isn't being a wack job about it, wow, this girl, NUTS, and he is getting a SPINAL TAP, this is nuts, I mean god, if i get an ankle sprain and I get a spinal tap I would be super pissed. Also, I would hope my insurance would cover it.

8:35: Before yet ANOTHER commerical break, meredith figures the bear guy who married his mid life crisis may have a tumor, I may be angry if she is right, I don't know yet.

Recap: A guy marries a woman he knew for 10 days, the two of them go to the woods with his brother, and he decides to act out of character, and touch a bear cub, his brother, gets his guts evicerated. He also starts writing really small, SO McBitchy decides TUMOR, because she is hoping that the Tumor is what is wrong with Derek cause he is diggin on the NURSE. She may be right. Also, Speed Racer looks amazing.

8:40: I like the trashy waitress, I hate Meredith Grey, and I am praying for no tumor.

8:43: Izzie is still trying to find stuff wrong with the ankle guy, and George and her still have no chemistry, and George, I don't know, I am losing him, he isn't that fun any more.

8:44: Brain TUMOR IS CONFIRMED! That really sucks, super sucky.

8:45: The bear brother dies, which is super super sad. His brother, with the tumor, is pretty self loathing about the whole situation.

8:52: After a 7 minute commercial, Meredith tells the trashy waitress that she doesn't know if she is a sympton of a tumor. I MEAN, COME ON. An emotionally distraught woman, comes to a doctor, and asks "does my husband love me, or is this the tumor?" Her response, "I don't know".

8:54: I LOVE THE SPARKLE PAGER, wow, what a great idea, and, shit, I can't wait to see this Bitch abuse this power. WOW, just wow.

8:55: ROSE! We get her name, finally, I forgot it, and it is Nurse Rose. McSteamy also wants some more Manpanion time with McDreamy. Bro's over ho's, bro's over ho's.

9:00: Also, a pretty pretty crappy ending, because, I mean, I kind of think that Lexi and George might hook up, in a roach house. It is very strange, but I don't know, it is very strange. Also, Meredith is quite quite quite freaky around Derek, after she sees him kissing up on Rose.

Off to final wedding planning, see you all in a few weeks!

An Update - Of Sorts

I am sorry.

All 4 of you that read this, I am very sorry.

I have been neglecting my blogging, in a horrible way. The strike is over, Big Brother 9 is almost over (go Ryan!) and sadly, I have not been blogging at all.

We have new BSG, new Office, new scrubs. All of these are amazing things, amazing things that I should be blogging about, but, I am not.

I am not because I am preparing to wed McFiance (14 days, whoa). So, I will try my best to blog between now and then, and, I promise you, that next week, when McBitchy herself, Meredith Grey returns to us, I will be blogging.

Oh yes, I will be blogging.
