Yeah. That's why I stopped watching. But then I got season 1 and 2 for Christmas and I got the love back, so I'm trying to catch up and get all the love back. But it's kind of hard because it seems that these strong, awesome women that I loved have turned into ... well, big old girls. Except maybe Lexie cause she just broke Sloan's dingdong.

I have been able to love Cristina the whole way through, so I kept watching. Bailey--they wobbled with her a bit, but she's been in fine form this season, so that's great. Callie's pretty decent, too. Of the men, I only really like Owen and one of the new guys whose name I can't remember. Oh, and I go in and out on Alex.

I need to return all these duplicate DVD gifts and buy the rest of the seasons, don't I?

I do not like the American women's snowboard outfits. It looks like they're meant to look like jeans and plaid shirts, but they just look dorky.

They're dumping snow in the parking lot across from the Y. It's incredible. Dump trucks dump their load, then a front loader would take it and dump it on mountains higher than the trucks. Fuckload of snow.

Lifeguard talked my ear off, he had to vent because his day was so borked by the roads.

Awesome piece (IMHO) about the Kevin Smith/SWA debacle and flying fatties in general. It's by Kate Harding, who I adore.

It's public goddamn transport. You travel with other people, you end up touching them.

This is my feeling every time I see someone get pissy about a child crying or kicking or whatever on a plane. You are squeezed into a tiny space with total strangers. It's not a spa, you know? (ftr, I try hard to keep my kids entertained and not kicking on the plane, but when confined to such a tiny space, it's not all within my control.)
