G***'s A***omy

Former Boss: "Have you been writing?"

"No."

Pause. Uncomfortable silence.

Former Boss: "Have you been watching Grey's Anatomy?"

"No."

Pause.

Former Boss: "They don't have any gay doctors on that show. Although there's a lot of racial diversity."

I cannot watch Ellen Pompeo* and I don't understand why we can't all agree that she. is. a dealbreaker. How is it possible that in a discussion re: that show, "they don't have any gay doctors" seems like a valid criticism when THE LEAD IS A ZELLWEGER WANNABE WITH A FUCKING LISP?!?!

I'd rather talk about how I've stopped writing and lost nearly every creative impulse under the immense pressure of studying physics and organic chemistry than talk about Grey's Anatomy. And it just won't go away. Everyone is watching it. It's like Forrest Gump all over again.

I only watched it twice, and I didn't hate the show as a whole. Only her. I hate her as a character and as an actress. And from what I've heard from that set, I'd also hate her as a person.

* I'm not sure if that's how you spell her name, but I can't bring myself to google her to find out. I dislike her that much.

That is how you spell her name. And, yes, she does suck. And, they kind of know she sucks.

No gay doctors, but the bartender is gay. And, I think one of the actors is, though he's not all out or anything.

And, yeah, everyone is watching it. And I have all these little bitter memories about it, but at the same time, I have to keep up with it if I want to be working in tv because it's a juggernaut and I already broke up with Lost.
