Insanely Awe-dical

I watched the first episode of Grey's Anatomy. I feel so betrayed by the commercial overhyping it, especially by giving it the coveted tv slot after Desperate Housewives. What made me realize that I didn't like it was that Scrubs had a similar first episode -- the first "hell" day as a medical intern. They have a diverse cast, and a fair amount of room for expansion, but I'm not excited about it, and I doubt I'll even check out the subsequent episode.

It made me think about watching new shows. Most people say give a show 2 or 3 episodes before you make your decision. I started watching Huff since I liked Hank Azaria, and it is pretty good after 6 or so episodes. It did start off pretty slow, but its pretty good. The OC hooked me right after the first episode, and Kate and I are at about episode 6 also. Scrubs hooked me from that one episode I saw at Daniel's place 2 years ago.

The truth is -- Grey's Anatomy sports beautiful girls, but nothing more is keeping me there. If I was in high school, I may pretend to like it just for the girls -- just like how I watched that Jennfier Love Hewitt show for a couple of weeks. Maybe the real reason I stopped watching that show was because it preceded WCW Nitro (whic preceded Monday Night Raw), and 5 hrs of wrestling tv is enough tv.

I saw this happy couple, probably in their late 50s/60s walking around campus. The husband had a lunch pack, standard to perhaps half of high school kids, while the wife carried around a backpack, more feminine than masculine, in that it was rounder and smaller (than the standard unisex jansports). It seemed like they had a really free and happy spirit, and they legitimately enjoyed walking around campus. Perhaps UCI was their alma mater. But the carefree way he looked at her almost seemed to say "I love walking around our old school together, and even though there are younger girls here, I will only have eyes for you."

Or something more eloquent than that.
