Grey's Anatomy

Last week I started a new show. Well, new to me at least. I've been hearing about Grey's Anatomy for years, and many of my good friends are in love with that show. My primary objection is the fact that I can't do medical things. Not even a little bit. Zero medical things at all. Blood, vomit, puss; if it comes out of the human body, I'm not interested. My friends kept reassuring me that "it's really not that bad, you hardly notice it". I'm calling BS on that one. Or maybe it's my fault for not adequately expressing my disgust at all things medical. Whatever the case may be, I wish it weren't so gross because I am sucked in by all of the relational drama that happens each episode. Here's my take on the characters so far as they've been introduced (**spoiler alert: if you haven't seen it, leave now).

Meredith Grey: she's ok I guess, I'm not a huge fan of the narratives at the beginning or end of the episodes though. I like that they're presenting her as a strong female lead; HOWEVER, I feel like they could've made her last without Dr. McDreamy a bit longer. Her career is on the line here!! She doesn't need a man!

Dr. McDreamy: he has nice hair

Christina: super mean, but also has great hair

Izzie: she's got gumption, I think I like her

George: what a teddy bear of a man. It breaks my heart that he's in love with Meredith and pines over her. Also, everyone walks all over him because he's such a nice, caring, sensitive guy. Jerks. You do you George! You go Glen Coco!!

Alex: since my peers at BYU are reading this blog, I'll refrain from using the words I'd like to use to describe him. You get the picture though.

Dr. what's-his-face-the-one-who-slept-with-Christina: he's also mean, so I guess it makes sense he's into Christina

"The Nazi": I didn't like her at first, but then I really did. She calls people on their crap. Get it guuurrl.

It's undecided as to whether or not I will continue watching the show because 1. medical stuff is nasty 2. it's pretty sexual in nature, so I'm fast forwarding a lot of stuff, and then rewinding because I think I'm missing stuff and I end up watching the stuff I fast-forwarded in the first place 3. I get sucked into watching like 2 or 3 episodes at a time (that's almost 3 hours solid) and I can't afford to continue going to bed at 2am when my 9 month old wakes me up at 4am to eat.

And this has been your view into my life. You're welcome. Congratulations to my fellow classmates for finishing your research papers, we're in the home stretch people #blessed
