Males and their sport

The other day one of my BFFs were ranting about our significant others and their attachment to sports matches. I have come home many an afternoon, to find The Boyf watching the same cricket final from 1992, in which mullets and the tightie whites reign supreme. He urges me to watch the second ball from the 22nd over, "the one where we bowl an amazing wicket". When I ask why he keeps watching the same match that he has memorized by heart, he replies with a, "but it's so awesome!"

I know I watch a lot of shit TV, from Keeping up with The Kardashians to Honey Boo Boo, but I don't get the point of watching the same match over and over. On a sport filled Saturday, The Boyf has to watch the rugby match build-up from 2 hours before the match. Then the match, during which time talking is strictly prohibited and compulsory snacks of beer and biltong must be had. Then comes the overweight has-beens of rugby, talking about the match. And if that's not enough then come the highlights and 3 hours later, the same fucking match gets watched! It's soul destroying!

I'd far rather watch this!

Grey's Anatomy turns into a musical......

I love Grey's! I really do. Even though it is at times completely unrealistic and quite frankly, ridiculous, I still love it. But when Grey's meets Glee it can mean only one thing.........disaster!

I just finished watching Season 7 Episode 18 titled "Song beneath the Song". Basically it is a musical episode, which has the majority of the cast singing whilst performing surgery.

Note: SPOILER ALERT! (Don't read on if you haven't watched it)

The episode starts with Callie Torres lying through a broken car windshield. As she is rushed to Seattle Grace, the hilarity begins. She starts singing Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars as she is wheeled in on a stretcher. Owen Hunt, Lexy Grey and Miranda Bailey (aka The Nazi) all join in. The singing isn't bad and these four sing the majority of songs for the rest of the episode. But singing in a medical drama.......C'mon! It's absurd and if we wanted to watch Glee, we would!

As Callie and Sloane's unborn baby faces death, a reappearance of an old character occurs, none other than the famous Obstetrician and Neonatal Surgeon (note: no medical doctor is ever BOTH!), Addison Montgomery. I have never wanted an episode to end so quickly and I kept looking at the time to see how much more torture I would have to endure.

My one highlight was when Alex Karev springs into song and dance. He is sexy. He can dance. And, YES, he can sing. But that moment was short-lived and involved watching awkward duets with Christina Yang being half-naked.

Christina does not sing  :(  I had being waiting for it the whole episode, but she looks like she would be completely tone deaf anyway. Meredith sings a line or two, but has loads of back-up to make her sound half decent.

The cringe-worthy climax was when everyone sings "How To Save a Life" in unison, whilst operating on Callie.

I hope that the producers of Grey's have learnt a lesson, and will stick to what they do best in the future. Leave the singsong for the teens and carry on giving us blood, guts and romance!

TV F$%K Ups

I'm having a very boring day at the Office.

Here is something to cheer you guys up!

It seems like she has either had one too many whiskeys or has a severe form of aphasia.

An oldie, but a goodie!

And she represents Americans....................?

Boxset Addictions

I have just spent the last 2 days at home.....4 words....Gossip Girl Season 3.

I know I'm a bit behind, as everyone is raving about Season 4, but relocating to another part of the world can do that to you.

Anyway....OMG! The finale was so hectic and I can't wait to get my grubby, little, addicted paws onto Season 4.

The outfits, the drama, the betrayal. It's all just so irresistable and perfectly enslaving!

In true GG fashion........xoxo
