Was waiting for Big Love and realised there was probably a podcast to go along with the show; ended up watching a selection of preview/explanatory clips which made me even more excited for the show's return. I'm tempted to watch all of the previous two seasons before I dive in again, but that's not really practical.

--

Other fandom: finally watched CSI's season 8 premiere. Oh god, Warrick! I mean, I knew that was the outcome, but still. And seeing Jorja Fox reprise Sara was just wonderful. I've really missed her, and I loved how together she looked: how Sara always used to dress in dark tones, and how leaving Vegas seems to have done her some good. Hopefully I won't be at the store tomorrow night, so then I can watch the next one on TV.

--

I'm finally caught up with Private Practice, though I'm still behind on Grey's Anatomy. People: please explain to me why I keep allowing myself to get caught up in this annoyance. This show is about a bunch of grown adults behaving like teenagers, constantly going against patient privilege/request, and cheating on everyone. WHY AM I STILL WATCHING?

re: Grey's Anatomy, see above x100.

On the plus side: omg, United States of Tara! The parts of the pilot that weren't leaked in the trailer were good enough to make me want to watch again, which I would be doing anyway, if only for Rosemarie DeWitt who I have taken a great liking to. T is grating, but I really like Buck, and I hope we get to clue in to Alice asap. Plus, I really like the relationship between the brother and the sister in the show. So. Yay?

I must have seemed extremely frustrated at the centre this morning (I didn't feel it) because Boss Lady asked me twice if I was okay. It was a strange morning because there were a lot of people there but there wasn't really a lot for me to do. Then I had a shift at the reception after which I sent off a meeting report to the College Rep who visited on Friday. Hopefully that's all in order.

This evening I have to work the late shift at The Store. Again. Kill me; kill me now.

Because Addison is awesome ;P and because Grey's used to be a really awesome show

Replace 'Addison' with 'Charlotte' and you'd have my actual reason.

re: Grey's: not any more. Sigh.

I finally dumped Private Practice and Grey's. For me, I always saw PP as worse when it came to ethical issues. It's been a dumping ground for moral-er than thou art, lazy writing. They don't have patients or even interpersonal connections anymore, they have Issues. With Grey's, it was the whole firing of Brooke.

I haven't watched the past couple of Grey's episodes; I'm not sure I can bring myself to be bothered. I thought perhaps Melissa George would be redemptive, but I can't stand her, so.

re: PP, I was okay with the show until the past few episodes in which we had various adulterous gang-ups, Cooper forcibly vaccinating a child against his mother's wishes, a ham-fisted morality tale about prostitution and various other trifles. What the hell?

The morality tale about prostitution was kind of the tipping point for me. Sex work isn't all hearts and flowers, but it's nothing like they portrayed it as.

I watch Grey's purely for the crack. And it always delivers in plenty. :D A lot of people seem to be very displeased with Grey's lately. I'm not, but maybe I'm coming at this from a different angle, 'cause I didn't watch it from the start. I don't know, I just love it when everyone is slutty and no one talks about anything other than sex. That's what I'm watching for, nevermind the rest. I JUST WANT THE CRACK.
