geebsUp here in the NYC for Thanksgiving! One advantage I had picked up on with First Class when I went back up here in August for K's wedding, not only do you get to check a bag for free, it gets the sky priority tag, so its also one of the first bags on the carousel when you go to pick up your bags. Normally I don't check in a bag for TG, but since I could check one for free and it would be quick to pick up, I brought my normal suit case instead of trying to stuff everything in a duffel. And I don't have to worry about overhead space or haul two bags with me through the airport.
I mean, from Atlanta to NY, the price difference between first and coach isn't that huge, especially since you get charged for checked bags in coach and you get a free check in in first. And there's more room and a meal. So honestly, I think its worth it.
TV commentary:
Major Crimes- Whoops, forgot to talk about this. Though I don't have much to say other than one thing. Like, they knew Flynn was in the hospital awaiting emergency surgery. Even if they didn't know exactly when it was, they had to know you can't have anything for at least 24 hours before, and it was prolly going to be in that time frame.
That reminds me of this one story this doc had where he was operating on a little girl, and she started aspirating food in the middle of surgery, and the parent tried to get all pissed off at the doc when the doc specifically said she couldn't have food. And the father was all, "Well, she was carrying on about being hungry and I felt sorry for her". Which makes me wonder, do some doctors not impress the importance of not eating before surgery, and just say, "don't eat 24 hours beforehand" without saying why? Because I think they should. I mean, I get not wanting to scare patients, but, I think saying, "Don't eat or you could fucking die!" is an important warning.
Like with a colonoscopy- do some patients know how the digestive system works? And how the reason they shouldn't eat is because in the process of breaking the food down, methane gas is created inside you. Which the colonoscopy equipment could set off while going through your body. So I think doctors should be frank- "Hey, don't fucking eat beforehand if you don't want your insides to accidentally be set on fire and explode!"
Interesting though, trauma surgery though, I guess they have no choice whether the person has eaten or not. But I guess at that point, repairing the trauma is more important than any complications that might arise if the victim has food in their stomach.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend- Okay, that comment from Paula about the rice-cooker cracked me up- "You want them to end up bonding over the one food that binds their two cultures?" Because both those cultures do like the rice. But there was some pretty good real talk this ep. Let's go with Josh and Valenica first. Poor, deluded, Josh. He buys a table on his own, because he feels bad Valencia is making all the decisions, not realizing, that's because she wants to make all the decisions. Greg, Hector, and White Josh make vague references to the fact that his relationship with Valencia is kinda toxic and his life will be ruined if he sticks with her. Also, Hector's (accidental/unintentional?) parking/anal sex comparison was also pretty hilarious!
But yeah, I don't think Josh got what they were saying, but since his buddies are his buddies, they work all night building that table anyways. And not surprisingly, Valencia hates it, though she's passive aggressively "nice" ordering Josh to take it apart and return it.
Anyways, back to the rice cooker thing, Rebecca wanted to give it as a house warming present, but he calls Josh to see if its okay to come over, even though she's already across the street. And she seems hit ignore, which sends her into a spiral. And its the first time we see this stuff affect her work, with Daryl sending her home.
Paula, meanwhile, gets involved with the prospective new client for the firm, Calvin. And the whole situation is interesting, because from what we've seen of Paula and Rebecca's friendship, its been pretty one sided towards Rebecca. Though, its not that Rebecca is some kinda user who is a total jerk to Paula. But Paula does all this stuff for her because she has her own problems- she's in a loveless marriage and trying to get Rebecca and Josh together is the only thing that brings her joy right now. Until Calvin.
So its kinda cool that Rebecca was in this downward spiral, but the thing that snaps her out of it is realizing Paula is about to make a huge mistake by just jumping into bed with Calvin. Rebecca realizes being numb to her problems is no way to fix herself, and realizes Paula is doing the same thing in her own way. So she stops Paula before its too late, not only helping her friend, but landing the big client.
So it seems like Rebecca is on the right track, back in therapy. Too bad she's still under Josh's thrall, she ditches therapy as soon as he comes calling. But I guess baby steps.
