It’s long been established that Tuesday is the best day for blogging (in my opinion anyway 
), but did you know that it has just moved up the list to best day ever?
Yes, it’s true.
Last Thursday, whilst I was happily blogging away, Boatman mentioned that he thought there was a new episode of How I Met Your Mother, that we had just missed. Since HIMYM is to him with Grey’s Anatomy is to me, I kindly offered to finish my post, so we could watch it on Yahoo Plus 7.
Obviously, I am the wife of the year.
However, upon logging on, we discovered that either there was no new episode, or Plus 7 doesn’t air them, (it does that with Bones too, much to my annoyance), because HIMYM wasn’t even listed as a show.
To my surprise, Grey’s was.
I clicked on the link, expecting that the only episode would be the shocking season final that aired a few months ago, only to find that it was, in fact, the pilot episode of season 9! Apparently, Channel Seven decided that instead of making us wait until February like they usually do, they would instead slyly put it on now, and not even tell me!
The first episode was last Tuesday, when I don’t even have the TV on,cause let’s face, it it’s the best night for blog reading!
Barely containing my surprised glee, I begged and pleaded with Boatman to let us watch it, and he, being the husband of the year, sighed and gave in.
He’s kind of wonderful like that.
Now there is a huge part of me that would like to give you a scene by seen dissection of the episode, but I won’t in case you haven’t seen it yet, or for some unimaginable reason, you don’t like the show.
No, instead, I thought I would tell you about my recent real life Grey’s experience.
Back in the final days of 2011, when Miss Taylah Put the Lime in the Coconut, and then Drank em both up, I was fortunate enough to witness some fantastic soap opera-esque drama at RDH, featuring Dr Greg, and some blonde Meredith wanna be. Watching the interaction between Dr Greg and Dr Wannabe, at the time provided much humour and enjoyment; it was literally like seeing Meredith and Mc Dreamy flirting at the nurses station. Except in this case wannabe was wanna-in-his-pants-be, and Dr Greg was cool, calm, and relatively detached.
So imagine my surprise, when a few weekends ago on a Saturday evening, I turn up at the ED with miss Ava and an almost 41 degree temperature, and see Dr Greg hanging out in the peads department, and Dr Wannabe, with pocket embroidery detail on her scrubs, still flirting up a storm!
Nine months later, and like all the best day time television, I can still pick up where I left off.
Doing my best stealthy detective work, I strategically placed myself in a position where I could not only see all the very obvious flirting, but hear a good deal of it too.
Turns out Dr Greg is not a local, but that was fairly obvious; he didn’t look one. Another female doctor, completely enamored with the perfectly coiffed one, was doing her best to convince him that he needed to return to Darwin for the Christmas party. The theme, this year is Bollywood.
On a side note- I’m wondering how I can crash this party; sari over my scrubs perhaps?
So what I’m thinking, is that southern based resident doctor, periodically comes up for ‘remote health’ education, and a self esteem boost.
He has Dr Par-Tay, doing her best to get him drunk and stupid (an obvious assumption), and Dr Wannabe, leaning into him as she discusses patient case notes, and possibly a bevy of other medically licensed females, all vying for his attention.
Obviously he needs to pick one.
So in the spirit of Shonda Rhimes*, who I’m certain is drafting a script writing contract for me as we speak, I’ve decided the take matters in to my own hands.
We’re going to need a catalyst for Dr Greg.
I’m thinking preferably not a bomb in the hospital, or a mad man shooting up the halls, if I’m going to be there to witness it.There are no ferry boats in Darwin, plus Grey’s has already done that.
No, this needs to be something truly Territorian.
Something only Darwin can do.
We need to set loose a crocodile in the hospital.
Preferably at the Bolly Wood party, when the drinks are flowing and Dr Greg’s inhibitions are lowered.
That way, when Sweetheart comes rounding the corner, with her her teeth bared, and reflecting the light of the mirror ball, and Dr Par-Tay is on one side of the room, and the blonde bombshell on the other, and all the other romantic hopefuls are standing on the side lines gazing at doctor Greg……
Well let’s let the video tell the tale.
If you can’t see the video, you can watch it here
Who would you hitch Dr Greg up with?
More importantly, how would you do it?
*Shonda Rhimes is the creator of Grey’s Anatomy. Which of course you should already know.

Oh, nothing like good ol’ real life hospital drama in the making. I like the idea of crocodiles.Especially if you dress is up in a sari
Grace recently posted..Sweet Homeward Bound
I’d be tempted to try and stage something if there was another hospital I could use in case of emergency!
Jess@Essentially Jess recently posted..Ava
Classic! Imagine of a croc WAS loose in the hospital! It would be chaos.
Try going to the CBS website – you might be able to watch the HIMYM episode on there?
Mel recently posted..The one where he faked his own death…
Oh thanks I’ll check that out!
I really hope they never have a crocodile loose in the hospital, although the NT News would have a field day!

Lol !!! I think you have too much time on your hands Jess. We’ve seen the first two episodes (we dl them after they air in the US). The first one was ok, but I was bored with the second one. Hope it gets better.

Jess@Essentially Jess recently posted..Ava
Superb! I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy (that would be a step too far for my husband) but I would watch Dr Greg’s Choice – you should do more episodes and make it a web series! Think of all the other obstacles you could put in their way…
Kirsty @ My Home Truths recently posted..Be Careful What You Wish For…
Oh I’m thinking that sounds like a fabulous idea! Stay tuned!
Jess@Essentially Jess recently posted..Ava
Never seen Grey’s (sorry!), but I really think the crocodile angle is a go-er. In fact, you should pitch that idea to the REAL Grey’s people – Shonda Rhimes or whoever. They could do a remote hospital/ travel-type episode to cure some rare tropical disease or similar…
Julie recently posted..When a parents’ heart gets broken
I think I should! Maybe I should send them the blog link…

I don’t watch it. I did years ago so I guess I could just start again. It’s a little like The Bold and the Beautiful. It never really changes. Rachel xx
Rachel from Redcliffe Style recently posted..I think school holidays broke me
No I disagree. All the characters have had big changes in their personalities, and have grown a lot. It’s one of the reasons I like it.

Why thank you. I love that you do this! You and I could make a very formidable team I think!
Jess@Essentially Jess recently posted..Ava
Clearly I do not got to the hospital enough and nor am I there for long enough when I am. Both of which I am a bit pleased about really but gee something like this really would have perked up my recent visits there.
Rhianna recently posted..Bullies bully the bully?
It’s because Dr Greg had left, that’s the problem. It obviously all revolves around him.
Jess@Essentially Jess recently posted..Ava
Great video. Especially the bikini clad Dr Wannabe riding the unruly croc
I was always a devoted Grey’s watcher but last season I missed a few eps and then saw the ad last week that the next season was back and they’ve just had a plane crash.
What happened last season? Can you get me up to speed in a nutshell? I left it where Meredith and McDreamy had just adopted the little girl but they were on the verge of breaking up because she effed up his clinical trial. And Owen and Christina were pregnant, he wanted it, she didn’t. Tell me what happened!
Ros recently posted..Crafty Mummy Fail!
Basically they worked it out, and then a whole bunch of stuff happened and then there was a plane crash. You really should watch it for yourself.

Jess@Essentially Jess recently posted..Ava
You’re hysterical, love the video – glad I’m not the only one who thinks every visit to the hospital is like walking onto the set of a TV show. I think my last hospitalisation was more along the lines of Scrubs than Greys though. And oh my gosh the return of Greys had me in tears but the second episode was weak as hell.
Kyla @ Three Quarters Full recently posted..Toilet Training – Part Two
See I didn’t think that! I thought the second episode was really well done to get everything up to speed. I have no idea where the rest of the season is going though.

Last Tuesday I decided I would flick Winners and Losers on while sitting with my laptop. When it finished I was about to turn the TV off when Grey’s started. It felt like Christmas! Where was the warning? Ah well, fate brought me that first episode of the new season, and I’m looking forward to ep2 tonight! Having said that, it’s become so darn dramatic, I swear there used to be more fun in it.
Kelly HTandT recently posted..Be Still My Beating Uterus
Yeah I’m hoping we get a bit more fun. It’s so weird they didn’t advertise it for like three months before hand like they usually do! It’s crazy!

You amuse me no end Miss J! I read this very very quickly this morning, now returned for a longer read. I remember last year. I think it was the first time I saw your vloginess awesomeness…..
Now, I just expect Jess to be:
1. Movie Script Writer
2. Director
3. Producer (I do believe the producer gets to select the actors!!)
4. Camera person
5. Personal assistant…you can determine what I mean.
Love your work, and Tuesdays and even tho it’s late here I happen to know via my instragrammed pic of Australia’s different time zones that you are at around 7.50 pm. Just settling down for bloggy reading. Cheers! Denyse

Alicia recently posted..Bloody Hell! – Open Slather
Oh we love that too!
Jess@Essentially Jess recently posted..Ava
I am a little afraid to admit that I lost interest in Grey’s after about season two. I watch it every now and then and get my sister to fill in the blanks for me, but the way commercial tv goes I never know when shows are on. I will most definitely watch every episode one day once the series is totally finished, on DVD, like I do with everything else I watch. And I totally get what Boatman means with HIMYM. We taped the first episode and we were both sitting there thinking we must have missed something, but apparently not. Channel 7 has a very bad habit of just not playing episodes though, or hiding the first few episodes of a show at some random time before they re-commence at a normal, advertised time with episode 4. It’s very frustrating and yet again why I tend to watch TV on DVD these days.
