What’s hot:
Yahoo Music. I loves it, it is amazing. I can find and listen to any song or album that I can think of. For example, I just discovered Sufjan Stevens for the first time (*heart*) — just added his “Illinois” album to my music library. Oh, and what’s this, the new debut album by Elliott Yamin? Downloaded.
It is such a deal. (I went with the basic $5.99 a month plan because I’m not a big ipod kind of guy). One other thing that’s cool is that as you rate songs (or artists or entire albums) you like, you get a better and better playlist on your Yahoo music radio station. This is how I discover a lot of cool music I would not have known about otherwise. This part you can do for free, even.
What’s not:
Grey’s Anatomy. Lord knows I’m trying to be sympathetic, but I have just about had it with all of these characters. Izzie cutting the LVAD wire? Meredith dumping McVet for McScraggly? George and Callie getting married in Vegas? The attendings being immature about the chief position? Meredith constantly being the damsel in distress? You know, there are competent people in medicine in the real world. You just wouldn’t know it from watching this show.
And Mark Sloan — the writers seem to be trying so hard to make us like him. But unfortunately he’s a jerk and a womanizer, so he always feels weird. And Addison Montgomery — she used to be such a kickass doctor, someone who tolerated zero BS. But some time during her divorce they took away her mojo. How disappointing. Let’s hope her spinoff series is better.
