Irony

Grey's Anatomy is ruining my life. Kinda ironic if you think about it that a drama about saving lives is systematically destroying mine. Over the next 8 days i have 5 more exam papers, 3 of which i am throughly unprepared for, and yet i have just wasted about 3 hours watching a mind-numbing suburban medical drama. Medical and drama are seriously two words that do not go together. Medicine, good medicine should be the furthest thing from drama. It should be clean cut (mind the pun), black and white. No blurred lines no grey area (again, pun) and when there is no grey area there is no drama.

But that is straying.

I honestly don't know what keeps me coming back for more. It has integrated everything i despise about self-serving american dramas. Moral lessons at the end. Retardly optimistic endgames to insanely overwhelming scenarios. The love-him-hate-him-but-will-still-fuck-him relationship that the lead actors have. That fuckin' narrative. Unless a narrative is done by Edward Norton, producers should learn to bugger off with it. Plus it lacks grotesque, over the top, brains splattered on wall violence. Granted the soundtrack on it is pretty awesome (any show that features Interpol on its songlist are a testament to the impecable musical taste of the music director and hence show that the producer is not a total gimp).

Oh that's right. Meredith Grey aka Ellen Pompeo is crazy fuckin' hot. Thats it. Oh and Kate Heigl is pretty easy on the eyes as well.

So in summar,...fuck. Now i'm starting to sound like a narrative. Who the hell am i summarising for anyway?...it's not like anyone reads this bleeding thing.
Whatever.
All thoughts composed, Grey's Anatomy rocks for 2 reasons namely Pompeo and Heigl. The good soundtrak is a bonus. Like a back massage after sex. If those aren't reasons good enough for anyone then you my friend are a spastic. Or gay which means you're a spastic as well. Or, well a women. I'll just leave that commentless.

The irony of it all is that a girl friend of mine figures that the show empowers women and champions feminism, showing that a being a woman is not a limit to being a success in a man's world. Just to bad that the strength of the show lies in the prefectly primmed hair of its hottest stars and all the sex that they manage to get themselves into.
