So what am I watching right now?  <i>Grease: You&#8217;re the One That I Want<\/i>, a reality competition in which the winners will play Danny and Sandy in a Broadway production of <i>Grease<\/i>.  I had just started this blog (or actually, the Blogspot forerunner of this blog) during <i>American Idol<\/i> last year, so I may not have mentioned it here, but what I wanted more than anything else was a Broadway night.

After the crisis, Izzy and Christina were helping Meredith into the shower to wash blood and cuts off her face (at risk of spoiling people who are an entire season behind, like me, I&#8217;ll go ahead and say the bomb exploded later, after it was handed off to the bomb squad, but she was standing in the hall and got minorly knocked down), and I thought, hey, don&#8217;t you think they should have a doctor look at her injuries first?  Cue *facepalm* as I immediately realize, duh, they&#8217;re both doctors, and they&#8217;ve obviously looked at her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so what I need right now is another show to watch.
