Cause the fa...oh, you meant the writers live in LA.<br />Cause the fact that Sacred Heart is not in LA was brought back to me recently when Turk complained that JD had promised they'd take their "first" trip to Disneyland together.<br /><br />I never liked Kim, and I've never seen EB on anything else, so this probably wasn't my favorite ep. In fact, I don't remember a lot.<br />I did a 45 minute in the am, 60 minute in the pm commute for two weeks and I was having phone conversations in my sleep. (a friend called after I got home to remind me of a chat and she told me the next day that we had, indeed, talked. I asked her what I said. She said I said I hated [working in] Billerica)<br /><br />It's not safe for me to have long commutes. That might go double for doctors with long shifts. There was an ep of Grey's where they covered long shifts and driving... the one where the guy from Kumar and whoever drove into a pregnant lady.<br /><br />37 isn't bad - if it's really 37.

Of course, I like Elliot and Keith too. In fact, JD and Elliot always annoyed me...I think it's because I'm a guy. You know people can BE friends.<br /><br />At any rate, I am so sad there are only two episodes left. BSG and Scrubs....all that's left is Lost and terribly insulting reality TV. <br /><br />Although in the end, as I approach 40, I can see TV not caring about what I like anyway. In five years, they won't care at all.timbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840503196010960235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-61305612376740018342009-04-24T12:54:00.000-04:002009-04-24T12:54:00.000-04:00I just realized this:
