Rory’s Book Club: “Me Talk Pretty One Day”
“Me talk pretty one day” by David Sedaris has me taking back every bad thing I ever said about short stories. I don’t know if these are actually considered short stories, I just know that they are funny & very very good. There were no scary kids, it wasn’t a downer at all. This was my first Sedaris & I feel like I’ve been missing out all this time. He’s even funnier than me, & I think I’m pretty funny. In fact, he’s one of the funniest writers I have ever read. Where has he been all my life? You can not have a bad day after reading this book, I don’t care what is going on. This book is instant happy. I must now track down all of his other books & try to find his radio program. My only caution is to read this in a quiet place because you will laugh so hard everyone else at the library/bookstore will glare at you.
Anything that breaks Mariah Carey is no friend of mine
“Glitter” has been mentioned several times as one of the worst movies, both on “Gilmore Girls” & of all time. I’m a big fan of Mariah Carey, my youth was spent listening to Mariah Carey music on newfangled CD’s. So of course, I would hate any movie that caused her to have a nervous breakdown, or was associated with that in any way. It wasn’t a terrible movie, yes it didn’t haven’t a lot of plot & relied heavily on music. The camera angles made me seasick. However, that is pretty predictable for anytime you put a singer in a movie & tell her to act. I think the reason this movie got such a bad reputation was the story of Mariah Carey’s breakdown. Otherwise it would have just faded away into the mediocre movie hall of fame where all movies featuring popstars go to die. I would give it a solid entire pop tart, basically because people showed up to make the movie. That is still one more pop tart than most critics would give “Glitter”. I’m kind hearted.

Dear writers,
What’s up with naming Lane’s kids Kwan & Steve? They should have rock & roll names. I also don’t understand the obsession with making April seem like Rory. You did the same thing in that awkward Season 3 episode where Jess went to his dad’s & meet his dad’s girlfriend’s daughter. Rory was a special kid because she was unique, it makes her less special when you keep trying to replicate it over & over. Nice job though, this episode was pretty funny & I heart Michel & Taylor. This is the first time all season that I am waiting to see next weeks episode instead of dreading it. (It will be good to see Lorelai back at the diner).
Dear Lorelai,
You have wonderful instincts, you are right to hate Logan. I hate Logan, & we always know that I am always right. Don’t let him sweet talk you & tell you that he is in the same situation you were in when you left your parents house. When you left to set out on your own, you were not a loser, & Logan is & always will be. You are right to be skeptical. I really loved when you got lost in the maze, it’s been awhile since we’ve had an "Ahh Lorelai’s all alone" shot. BFF
Dear Stylists on the GG set,
I really love the comeback of the shrunken 3/4 sleeve cardigan. I’m off to wash everything I own in hot water in hopes that it will look that I’ve been wearing the same sweater since I was seven years old.
Dear Rory,
You seemed like you were more Rory-ish this episode. You had ambitions, you had sparkle, you made a pro con list, you weren’t completely obsessed with your boyfriend. Welcome back. You’ve been missed.
Dear April,
I’m glad that you like New Mexico so much, but the purpose of you moving there was so you wouldn’t be in Connecticut do try & work on that please, thanks.
Dear Paris,
At first I was disgusted as you that Logan was living in your apartment, basically free loading. However, I think you are just the person to whip him into shape. He is definitely someone that needs more structure, a life plan, & to be yelled at, please take care of that for me.
Dear Rhode Island,
Please move closer to Connecticut so Rory can make it home for Friday night dinner & crazy town festivals, should she choose to take that job at a later date. Love Ya!
