(Season 2, Episodes 8-10) I guess I was wrong in my last diary when I was lamenting McNulty’s future on the marine unit. It just took one more episode for Daniels to pull him off the boat, even with Rawls kicking and screaming the whole way. I really enjoy seeing the politics at work within […]

(Season 5, Episode 11 – “Wish You Were Here” ) “People die and other people get messed up about it.” – Alex to Izzie, after she tells him she’s been “seeing” Denny Even when Grey’s Anatomy isn’t that good or does stuff that makes me go, “That would never happen in a real hospital,” I still […]

It’s amazing how much useless trivia I carry around in my mind. I think a lot of folks are like me. Sometimes you just remember obscure facts you learned in junior high school decades later. Or you find that more recent news has actually seeped into your mind via osmosis or something. Jeopardy used to […]
