“I’m a kayak hear me roar” Recap

Posted by Sarakastic on Feb 20, 2007 in Gilmore Girls | 2 comments

Ok, this is how break ups should go.  You blubber to the salesperson at the gas station, you drink & learn Quick Books with your mom, you try to help your dad adjust to life after a heart attack.  You do not go & sleep with the father of your child after just breaking an engagement.  They finally got a break up right.  Christopher is gone, April is in New Mexico, hopefully never to be heard from again.  Logan’s father is a jerk, & Logan presumably lost all of his money.  Plus Miss Patty, Babette, & Kirk were hilarious.   I hope Lorelai takes some time to just relax & be herself before jumping back into a relationship with Luke.

 My mom really hated the opening scene about running out of gas, she thought it was horrible acting on both sides. So, then we tried to recreate it, both without any acting experience, & we did a better job. I’m thinking of being in motion pictures.  I have to admit I was a little distracted because I bought the phone that Lorelai uses today, so I spent most of the episode trying to match her exact ringtone.  Lorelai doesn’t seem as upset as she should be, but it’s just Christopher after all.  What were your thoughts about the episode?

Rory’s Book Club: Metamorphosis

Posted by Sarakastic on Feb 20, 2007 in Book Reviews | 0 comments

I’m not scared of a lot in this world, except for cats. (It’s not my fault that they are evil & I’m the only person who sees this). I was scared to read Kafka’s “Metamorphosis”. (Nice segway, I got a good dig in at cats, I should be a talk show host with those smooth transitions. Seamless, really). The “Gilmore Girls” always mention Kafka, so I took it to be something for “smart people”. The complexities of “Metamorphosis” are still being argued today. What if it’s just a book about a man who turns into a fly? If I was a writer, I would make psuedo deep novels completely at random & then laugh when people tried to attach meaning to them. I actually liked “Metamorphosis”. I didn’t understand it, but it was only 55 pages long. I can handle something I don’t understand for that long, no need for 800+ pages. I will definitely be reading Kafka again, mostly because I just like to say “I was just reading Kafka &…”

Note:  I also read this one for free online at the Gutenberg Project.

The Sims as played by Sarakastic

Posted by Sarakastic on Feb 16, 2007 in Gilmore Girls | 4 comments

I got “The Sims” for Christmas. It sounded better than frostbite, which is all there is to do in Utah in winter. I made a Lorelai, Rory & Luke & put them in the same house. They looked like the “Gilmore Girls” & they acted like the Gilmores. At first everything was going ok.

Except the fact that Lorelai & Luke should not live in the same house…ever. They were constantly fighting. I gave them lots of cool toys, computers, TV to distract them, but they still always ended up in a cloud of anger.

Rory was the only responsible one so she spent all her time trying to take care of the ant problem. She became so consumed with this that she kept missing class & was sent to military school.

Finally Lorelai had enough & left.

Luke wandered around the house complaining about the furniture placement & his lack of love. The only person that ever came to visit was a burglar who stole the oriental rug in the living room. Luke got crankier & crankier until he died in a BBQ fire when he was once again making hamburgers for breakfast.

That is how I play the SIMS.
