Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

I have a problem. Yesterday was a very long and taxing day. I got home from work, put on my ugliest sweats, (why are they always the most comfortable) rummaged through my terribly sparse freezer, came up with a chicken stir-fry, settled in with a glass of wine and turned on the television. Having no interest in anything that was coming on, America’s Next Top Model Finale, (big deal) Top Chef (it will come on 50 times this weekend) I had more important things to worry about. I was in the middle of Disc 2 of Season 2 of Grey’s Anatomy. I had to find out what was going to happen next. My problem is that I have now become addicted to the show. My head was swimming and I had a terribly painful headache from everything I had endured during the day, but all of that was erased when I heard the wonderful words “Previously on Grey’s Anatomy.” I knew I had work to do but I couldn’t bring myself to read another word. Even though I had an early morning, I somehow managed to stay up until 2:30 am watching the show because I just had to know what happened next. I called my girl to ask her if certain characters were still on the show this season because there was trouble brewing and I had to ease my mind that they would make it out of this. In fact the only reason I turned the show off and went to bed was because I had to keep rewinding to rewatch the parts I’d dosed off on. I knew it was time to let it burn. But This show is awesome. I am half asleep and quite achy as I sit here at work typing this, but my mind is at ease knowing that Dr Bailey’s husband is still alive and that Meredith survived the explosion. If you haven’t seen season 2, sorry. But I’m just sayin’! How exactly did I become so enthralled by the lives of these fictitious characters? My only dream is that someday people will be saying the same thing about my characters, but the point is this show is great and I can’t believe that I have slept on it this hard for this long. I’m so glad I am able to catch up on the seasons and understand the relationships and the stories behind them. Man, I love it! Of course this means that this is going to severely cut into my interaction with people until I finish season 2. But that is a sacrifice I am willing to make

Peace Y’all!
