Boogie Chillen

I had written a little about Monday's show, but had a HIGHLY annoying laptop mishap (i.e., it REALLY PISSED ME OFF! I had had the hard drive replaced, but didn't like the sounds I was hearing, so I backed everything up onto an external drive, then ran the recovery disks, just to make sure *I* decided what did and did not get initially installed, but had left the USB external drive still connected to the it, and the recovery CDs hosed the backup drive, which it logically SHOULD have IGNORED at that point in time, but it DIDN'T) and I lost everything I had done for the last two weeks (and some from farther back), but here is what I vaguely remember saying:

Why is Erica so ecstatic with the view from the prospective New Beginnings building? It looks just like the view from her old Enchantment office, and it was never a very good view to begin with what with the massive urban decay that has afflicted PV for the last 10 years.

I have to say that I've really enjoyed how Zach Slater consistently does NOT rise to the bait whenever he's, well, baited. He coolly listens and usually declares whatever they have to say to be either not particularly interesting to him or none of their business and leaves it at that. On a show where pretty much everyone blows it on a daily basis whenever they are baited, no matter HOW much experience they've had, it's quite refreshing to see someone react with simple logic and/or cool detachment and simply walk away from the melodramatics and obvious attempts at emotional manipulation.

Who delivers the daily paper to David's isolated mountaintop cabin? I hope David gives that person BIG tips.

Are we supposed to be mad at the Emergency nurse? Sorry, Ryan was a loudmouth JACKASS who refused to explain anything at all and just barged in bellowing at her and threatening to buy the hospital so he can fire her.

Greenlee freaks out in the MRI machine, So Ryan and Maria just rush in and Ryan orders the technician, who is standing right next to the machine, to "stop this thing"! Uh, I'm pretty sure the machine wasn't running yet, if only because the technician was standing right next to it instead of in the next room, not to mention the fact that there was no noise coming from it other than the sound of Greenlee yelling at the top of her lungs.

That's certainly the SLOWEST MRI I've ever heard, once it finally DID get going.
