a Grey area

Okay, I’ll admit I watch “Grey’s Anatomy.”  I got hooked because my wife, who teaches anatomy, got hooked.  And she was hooked because at least some of the time their medicine is correct on the show.

So I watched last night (part 1 of the season finale) and yes, hooked is an understatement.  I’m yelling at the poor people on the screen (who can’t hear me, because that technology hasn’t been invented yet).  And the worst part is: the ending is tonite.

I have no idea how I’ll remember it’s on a Monday night.  Sheesh.

And Tivo may not help, since apparently the President wants to tell us his Latest Plan for something.  You know it’ll be rehashed ad infinitum in the press for the next week, so why doesn’t he just NOT broadcast on the Grey’s Anatomy Channel.  That’s be okay by me.

Memories

This will long be remembered as the Mother’s Day that my eldest did not insist on stopping to go to the bathroom, and instead filled an Ozarka bottle while we were driving.

Oh, that sinking feeling

So tonite my honey and I went to see Poseidon.

It was part of a grand Date Night, which I must tell you all about (I’m sure you’re just dying to know how it was) but I don’t really have time right now.

But I’ll tell you about the movie portion.  I’ll try not to spoil anything.Just Ducky!

First, you have a ship, which is apparently a large ship (based on the many wonderful pictures of it sailing.  Someplace).

On the ship we have a couple thousand people, but only a couple dozen that we actually care enough about to have speaking parts.  And of these it is painfully clear in the first ten minutes that, well, it’s time to cut payroll costs, if you catch my drift.

(heh, I said “drift” in a post about a ship).

The movie is, well, predictable.  Want the cliff cliff cliff notes version?

Boat.  New Years.  Wave.  Scream.  Splash.  “Gosh!” Climb. Swim. Die! Climb. Rescue.

And no, that is not a spoiler that they get rescued.  They can’t kill off everybody!  But they come pretty close.  (oops, now that was a spoiler).

Here are some comments we made to each other during the movie (not in order):
