I’m still having Gilmore Girls withdrawals, so I’ve been trying to find a replacement show. It’s like when a goldfish dies & after a few days/weeks/months, you are ready to go to the pet store. I’ll always be loyal to the Gilmores, but I just wanted something to fill the gapping void in my life since the show ended. I decided to try some shows that have already finished their run. This way I know they are going to end, & when they are going to end, so I won’t be too traumatized. So far I’ve tried:

• Wonderfalls. Only four episodes aired, but the DVDs have 13 episodes. It’s a funny show that pretty much sums up generation y, but I couldn’t get too attached with just 13 shows.
• Alias. So many people have recommended this show to me, because Sidney kicks people & I love that. However, I just got so bored & only made it through half of the first season.
• Whenever I tell people that I love Gilmore Girls, they seem to recommend Felicity. Great, four whole seasons. Again, this show just didn’t seem to move. Like Alias I just couldn’t get involved. If I hadn’t watched Gilmore Girls, I might’ve liked it, but Amy Sherman Palladino spoiled me with interesting characters & conversations.

If I keep this up, pretty soon I’ll be watching One Tree Hill. There doesn’t seem to be anything else out there that is of the Gilmore caliber.

At first, I loved the sleek ponytail that Lorelai always wears with her fancy party dresses, it’s so easy to emulate. Then I started wondering, why do they even bother? Apparently it takes about three weeks to make Lauren Graham’s hair straight,. Which means this sleek pony tail probably takes longer than any other updo or more elegant hairstyle. Besides, my hair is in this style everyday, I want something different when I dress up. It doesn’t even work with a tiara.The great thing about a pony tail is that it’s easy & the fancy pony tail just ruins that.

The title was originally going to be My New Year Gilmorutions, but I refrained. Instead this year I will:

• Slam a wineglass on the table like Emily Gilmore to stop a conversation that I don’t like.
• Wear a skirt with a large circumference like in the Donna Reed episode.
• Spend a day wallowing when something bad happens.
• Popularize the world Gilmoreution.
• Give all of the appliances in my house first names.

What are your Gilmore Resolutions?
