Everything I didn’t know about Sam Phillips

Filed under: Gilmore Music • Comments: 3
  • First off, Sam Phillips is a girl. I should’ve guessed this because she is credited with the la la music on Gilmore Girls.
  • According to wikipedia she was promoted in the 80’s as “the Christian Cyndi Lauper.”
  • Went from using the name Leslie Phillips to the name Sam Phillips when she changed record labels in 1988. That’s quite the leap.
  • New album expected out this year call “Will you trade me this for a tank of gas?” Haven’t we all asked that question at some point & time?

I really am becoming a Gilmore

Filed under: Gilmore Girls • Comments: 5

Remember when Lorelai & Rory finally reunited after months of fighting? All through the separation Lorelai kept conversation topics written on post it notes to tell Rory about when they reconciled. Then, Lorelai couldn’t read the notes. I think one of them said Russian Plebeshem. I was pleasantly surprised to look down at a post it note on my desk & see this:

I have no idea what that says. It was obviously important enough for me to commemorate it on a post it. In other news, I’m not like Rory because I use pink post it notes & Rory uses serious office supplies.

The Return of Jezebel James

Filed under: Gilmore Girls • Comments: 6

The Return of Jezebel James airs tonight. It’s a sitcom by Amy Sherman Palladino. This leads me to wonder, what exactly was Gilmore Girls? It’s wasn’t a comedy or a drama, or even a drama-edy. It was just awesome.

I didn’t watch the preview for Jezebel James because I couldn’t find the mute button, or really the unmute button. I’ll definitely be tuning in. Once again, not having a life pays off.  If you’re reading this after the show aired, what did you think about it?

Learning to love snow

Filed under: Gilmore Girls • Comments: 1

I’ve never shared Lorelai’s belief that snow is magical. Probably because I live in Utah so I know that snow is in fact very cold. In snowy weather, a sweater & scarf almost never keeps you warm. Ah, to live in a world of magical TV snow.

Instead my feelings about snow coincide with the episode where Lorelai hates snow, except no one has built me an ice skating rink yet. I’m still waiting on that one. I will however concede that snow is magical. Snow hides a lot of flaws, or in the case of my town, piles of junk sitting in the front yard. So I like snow, just as long as I don’t have to go outside.
