( I don't know if this is a spoiler really, but Grey's Anatomy news/Callica-related ranting under the cut )


ETA: Oh and just in case you thought this could be written off as an isolated incident, there's going to be more Grey's de-gaying. AWESOME. Just when I had hope for humanity or something.

Had a lovely birthday! Well, after I got off work, at any rate. Things that I got:

*2 bottles of wine

*Money from various relatives (yay for still being young/poor enough to rate that)

*Small, cute thing of flowers from my direct boss

*Crap from various people in my office for lamenting being "old" (everyone that I work with is at least 7 years older than me).

*New York Betty Boop PJ shorts from miripanda.

*AWESOME/HORRIBLE Yaoi manga from my Other Roommate M that she got free from work. Basically it's stuff that sounds like it came from a Harlequin challenge- complete with poor characterization, treacly florid writing, and borderline disturbing relationship dynamics. Plots include futuristic slaves, Arabian Sheiks who abduct their ex boyfriends back, and, my personal favorite, a touching Merman/non-Merman love story. Why would you pay money for this when you can read it for free in SGA fandom?

*Various drinks at Sing Sing, the karaoke bar we hit up that night.

*A "Desperado" serenade from Other Roommate M at said karaoke bar.

*The opportunity to sing "Breaking Free" from HSM in public to a bar full o' folks.

*Home safely at the end of the night.

*The day off work the next morning. (Thank God. Ow.)

Also, in other news, the McShep reel_sga story circa_eve and I are avoiding writing tried to grow a plot. Or something. *pokes at it sadly*

Also, GIP! New fannish obsession, HI. (Thanks st2102 for the screencap!) The Hahn and Callie kiss last Thursday? Also a bday present. Yes.

So. I'm bored and don't want to do laundry.

But, Grey's Anatomy, right? I used to love the show. And then, somewhere in Season 2 or 3 it got more whiny and repetitive than I could take. (BLOWING UP KYLE CHANDLER = BEGINNING OF THE END)

BUT. It doesn't suck anymore, guys! I started watching it since it came back from hiatus (mostly because Entertainment Weekly told me to, and I am a sheep, a sheep when it comes to that magazine).

And guys, last Thursday's episode was AWESOME. More slashy (boykissage!) and also femslashy stuff than anything I've seen in primetime TV in a while. Thoughts:

( Does anyone still care about Grey's Anatomy spoilers? ) The short version is, I like this show again! It's also getting much gayer than usual. These two things could be related.

Watching Grey's Anatomy. Hee. A character on TV with my name, which never happens, and Sandra Oh being fabulous, which happens a lot. "You know that thing where I say something, and then you say something, and then somebody cries, and there's a moment...?" Ha!! (Seriously, how much of a crush do I have on her? A big ol' honkin' one. That's right.)

It's a good show, I think. I like the writing overall, though it's a little cheesy sometimes- the reveal at the end? eh- but when has that ever deterred me from watching anything? All the characters seem well defined- and heart bypass guy, who's name I didn't catch, is friggin' adorable. We'll see. :)
