My birthday is in the beginning of July. Ever since I was little this has been problematic. People always seem to have summer vacations or family reunions on my actual birthday. Plus, sometimes it’s even an extended part of the 4th celebrations. So, my solution to this for the past few years has been birthday week, an idea I got from the Gilmore Girls, I think they did this for Lorelai’s birthday. This allows me to celebrate with several sets of friends and family. Plus, if one of my birthdays doesn’t turn out well then there’s always tomorrow to get it right. It’s something I highly recommend. Anyone else have a birthday week?

I had a lot more time in 2006. I finally got around to updating the Which Gilmore Girl Are You? Quiz. It should be up and running now. I still haven’t had time to get to the other quizzes and it may very well be 2020 when I do.

I rewrote the questions. On the original quiz I came out as Rory but in the new one I’m Lorelai. That could just be because I really have changed since 2006. What are your results with the new one?

I just looked up the plural of nemesis and I guess it’s nemeses or nemesi. I was just watching the episode “That’ll Do Pig” about Emily and her fight with Richard’s mom Lorelai. It hit me that everyone has a nemesis. Through much of the show, this was Emily’s role. Then comes along a woman who is basically Emily’s version of Emily. I guess everyone has someone who makes them feel small and belittled. I’ve always just thought of this episode as funny and a way to show Emily’s slightly hypocritical nature but it does say something about the human condition, I’m not exactly sure what, but it does say something.

This was a movie that I think the Gilmores watch in season three about Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier. It’s from the 70’s. This movie is great and confusing, like watchign the most interesting home videos ever. Thank goodness for the internet and the ability to look up who are these people and what they are doing. Even then I can only take it in very small doses but when I can handle it, it’s fantastic. Anyone else watched this?
