| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

 Get out NOW if you haven't watched the show yet or just plain ol' don't want to know the details.
Go on...
Scram...
Now!!!
Good.
Okay, so Grey's Anatomy and its motley cast of characters redeemed itself with me this week, although the show itself was off the chizains. Really. The show was the bomb, in more ways than one.
From George's major man-up moment helping deliver Dr. Bailey's ain't-no-stoppin'-me-now baby, to Bailey chastising George to stop looking at her "Va-jay-jay" as the baby came out, last night's episode was mesmerizing, bonafide gripping television, with a conclusion to last week's cliffhanger that delivered, and then some.
...to Bailey's husband dying on the operating table in another room just as his baby was being born (and then being revived by Dr. McDreamy, who refused to take death for an answer)...
...to me thinking maybe Meredith had finally met the real love of her life in the guy from the bomb squad who she finally gave the bomb...
 ...to watching, along with Meredith...
...that delusional fantasy (on my part) die on the vine...
 ...as dude and said bomb went up in a shrapnel-rich puff of disaster as he gingerly walked away (without a helmet or mask, as my editor Jen pointed out...)
 ...and we momentarily think Meredith is so damn dead (not!!), but it's all good, because George finally gets the three-girls-in-the-shower scene he dreamt about last week...
 ...with Meredith, Izzie, and Cristina, although it was slightly different than he originally envisioned it...
 ...and Meredith certainly didn't look like she had hot lesbian action on her mind.
 ...more like a cool rush of water to ease the pain of that searing blast...
...to Cristina and Dr. Burke finally saying "I love you" to each other, even though each did it while the other was asleep...
...and Dr. McDreamy remembering, with almost obsessive/stalkerish detail, his last kiss with Meredith, right down to the lavender smell in her freshly-washed hair and the hole at the back of the neck of her ratty t-shirt.
It was all so much. Great, great viewing, and I learned some stuff in the process.
Three things I took from last night's episode:
1. It really is a damn good show. Shonda Rhimes is the shit, and she totally made that gratuitous Super Bowl Shower Moment work to her advantage.
2. George has the ability to see into the future, but his lens is real, real, real fucked up.
3. Meredith is keenly attuned to her intuition (last week's episode started with her rambling about feeling like she was going to die, and she almost did), but, like George, her keen intuition is skewed in real, real, real, real fucked-up kind of way. The next time she announces she feels like she's going to die, whoever's in the room should make a break for it, because you can rest assured one of them is about to bite it, not her. Which makes her either the world's greatest empathizer (taking on the feeling of the actual fates of others), or a modern-day narcissistic Cassandra ("I tell you, I'M the one who's going to die, not you!! It's MY destiny!! If anybody's going to die today, it's ME!!!"---meanwhile the people around her are dropping like flies.)

I'm still trying to calm down from last night's episode...
And have named today, national bomb squad appreciation day. Wjat selfless brave individuals. I read that Shonda worked closely with squad memebers to make it real. This is something they must go through again and again, the hope, and then the tragedy...
Also where are the police and arrest warrants? Who in metro-seattle is allowed to shoot things like that and not get arrested!
