There’s something that I disagree with the Gilmores about. Shocking, I know. I had hoped that I would never see this day. Usually, I come around to their way of thinking, but not this time.

It happened during the B&B episode. The Gilmores had finally braved the B&B lobby because of their weakness for scones. There is a huge cultural difference here. I live in Utah & once had a conversation like this with from someone back east “No, a scone is fry bread. Ummm fry bread? It’s like umm a scone”. So the confused party looked up scone online & brought me a picture of something that looked like a muffin. A scone is not a muffin.

Anyways, on the show they were eating the muffin scone impostors that look like this:

Actually a scone is bread that is fried. It is yummy. It looks like this:

This pretty much ensures that I will never move east. All because of the scones. What do scones look like in your area?

I’ve been unsuccessful at finding a show to replace Gilmore Girls. I can’t even find a show to take away the stinging pain & deep sense of loss. However, if we’re talking pure wpm (words per minute as Paris calls it), I may have found a match. After I watch a few hours of the Gilmore Girls, I notice that I start talking really fast. It’s fun to watch people try & keep up with my conversation. If my stories are boring even me, I try speeding them up & slowing them down in mid sentence to see if anyone catches on. This is especially fun when discussing business.

They talk as least as fast as the Gilmores on The West Wing. Granted, the West Wing lacks humor, cute clothes, & Kirk. However, I just close my eyes & enjoy the wpm.

I was recently booking a hotel & thought “Hmm what about a bed & breakfast?” Yes, I know that Rory & Lorelai hate B&B’s. I always found this odd because the Dragonfly is kind of a B&B that also serves lunch & dinner. I guess the difference is the Dragonfly is cooler.

There was this really cool B&B that I came across in my search where the rooms were based on different authors. It seemed perfect. I’ve never stayed in a Bed & Breakfast before just because I’m a little bit scared of them, especially since seeing the Gilmore Girls experience. It just like I’m staying in a stranger’s house & that stranger may have imported floral wallpaper from France. The scones would be nice though. In the end, I just couldn’t risk it & decided to stay in a hotel, although I might’ve gotten an interesting blog post if the B&B was like the Chesire Cat.

As far as I can remember the Gilmores have taken three road trips:

• The first trip was to the Chesire Cat Inn & road trip to Harvard.
• One to Martha’s Vineyard with Logan & Luke.
• A long drive with Emily to the fake Mia’s wedding.

Let’s face it, most of the time on other TV shows when the cast takes a road trip or is outside of their element, it sucks. Not true in this case. (Well fine, the Martha’s Vineyard episode left a lot to be desired, but Amy didn’t write it, Daniel did.)

I really love the Gilmore road trips. I love watching the Gilmore’s watch a roomba vacuum the floor. It’s just that kind of show, it can work in all kind of situations. I’m going on a road trip & was trying to think how to make it more Gilmore. The only thing that I can think of is that I need to have my window rolling up privileges revoked. At least I don’t know how to fold a map correctly. I’m more of the Lorelai approach. I just crumple it up & say “Is it smaller? OK, then”.
