Ah yes…last night I felt like Penny Lane to CU’s Russell Hammond. The friendly UPS lady brought Guitar Hero III for us yesterday, just in time because the TV season is about to end and we need something to do while waiting for Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List, The Mole, Bridezillas, Army Wives and The Closer.

After going through the tutorial, CU immediately began his quest for Rock God status. His efforts were admirable, and if I may say so…he has a long career ahead of him as a simulated rock star. My first attempt at “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” effectively had me booed off the stage…as did my second. The third time I got a bit better, making it through 88% of “Story of my Life” before missing about six in a row…I was getting tired. After that, it was all over and we decided to fix dinner.

After dinner…we watched Grey’s Anatomy. I haven’t been the huge fan this season that I was say – in season two, when everyone loved the show. Last night was good, though. I have a problem with Callie and Erica…not because of the girl-on-girl factor, but because I’m just getting tired of everyone hooking up with everyone else. I’d reached that point during the (thankfully) aborted George/Izzie pairing, so anything after that generally makes me want to encase myself in several hundred pounds of cement.

Bailey was awesome with the whole “bigger picture” thing…as she always is, and Lexie has a crush on George. Gee. Didn’t see that one coming. Alex must have been watching old episodes of Sex and the City when he wrote his essay, and apparently brilliant surgeons, if they really want to die…know how to do it. They don’t pansy-ass it and slit their wrists or sink into the darkness of the Puget Sound. They slit their carotid artery. See? Learn something new on this show every week.

While CU and I were doing the “Will both the guy and the girl die? No, they won’t die. They’ll both live? Would they kill one and not the other?” verbal volley regarding the Twomor Couple, CU said, “If Shonda Rhimes is a nice person, she’ll have them both live.” Let’s just say CU doesn’t have the highest opinion of Ms. Rhimes right now. Come on, they both couldn’t live? It’s not like we’ll ever see them again!

And because I read in the Grey’s Anatomy blog that this season Derek and Meredith would get together for good, I actually believed her when she said she was whole and healed. Glad you are, and Cristina is, because I think we’re about to go to the Dark Side with Alex.
