he's on the table and he's gone to code, and i do not think anyone knows what they're doing here

i was never a big fan of video games. from the atari my sister got for her 6th birthday or something to the xbox i tried at a friend's house. gameboys, psp's... they were never really my thing. sure, i play them. and yes, i have fun. but i was never one of those "natural" video gamers. i usually suck. and i get very frustrated with them and end up all tense and annoyed and ready to throw the whole thing out of the nearest window. but my cousin has a nintendo ds, and all that has changed. she has a grey's anatomy game which has become my latest addiction. you don't really do much in the game but play through episodes making choices that don't change the storyline, completing challenges like avoiding little red balls of anger, and performing parts of surgeries. not much to do, but highly highly addictive. on the addictiveness spectrum, it's somewhere between cigarettes and crack, and probably closer to the crack.

one thing i hate about the game: meredith. i don't mind her in the show and at times really like her, though she was never my favorite character. in the game, i despise her. she has a one track mind, and all her story lines revolve around her relationship with mcdreamy. the entire hospital is on lockdown because of a diptheria outbreak and what is she thinking about? how her date will be afftected by the lockdown. she is in the middle of a bypass heart surgery and asks to leave early so she will have time to get ready for said date. i mean, really?? what kind of doctor does that?? i don't care if there is a whole surgerical team doing the operation, you do not leave halfway through for a date, even in a game. she interrupts shepherd while he's prepping a patient or something to tell him that she's committed to their relationship, and while he's distracted, the patient has a seizure. i think what really annoys me is that although i control a lot of her choices, i really have no control over what happens. she's the same no matter what i do. now, i havent watched the show in a while. i missed the entire last season - night classes suck. but i dont remember meredith being that obsessed. yes, her relationship was always a big part of the plot, but i remember her being a good doctor, not a ditsy flake. if that's how her character has gotten lately, then i'm not sure i want to watch last season which is sitting on my desk.

oh, and i hate how george is such a girl.
