We know that the Gilmores eat four Thanksgiving dinners & put red & green m&m’s in their cereal on Christmas. I was just trying to remember if there was any reference to how they celebrate Halloween. I know that there is an episode with a Quentin Tarantino themed party, but that is Finn’s birthday party. Would they put candy corn in their breakfast cereal?

I just totally negated my first paragraph because I just remembered. However, I’m not erasing the first paragraph because I had to figure out how to spell Quentin Tarantino & that is not easy. The episode was from the craptastic season six, so it slipped my mind. It’s the Twenty One is the Lonliest Number episode. Apparently the Gilmore way is to hang carmel apples from the tree in the front yard but Lorelai decides to do something different this year because she’s still on the outs with Rory.

But anyway, after that, I’m going to drag you out! You’re strapped in an electric chair! And I’m going to throw the switch and I’m going to totally electrocute you! And you’re flailing around, and we’ll rig something where it’s smoke and sparks shoot out of your nose, and once you’re dead, I’ll throw you onto the operating table and I’ll cut you open and I’ll pull linked sausages out of you and I throw them into the crowd.”

Now I just need to find someone who can shoot sparks out of their nose. Like finding a boyfriend wasn’t difficult enough.

I’ve noticed a comeback in men wearing the black 60’s eyeglasses. That doesn’t mean that I like it. I just noticed it is all. Every time I see this style I think “Why do you want to look like you work at NASA?”

Lane Kim was definitely someone who could rock glasses. In fact, both Zach & Mrs. Kim were distraught when Lane switched to contacts. Zach said the immortal words:

But you lose that initial impact. Now people will have to talk to you for a few minutes to figure out that you’re smart.

I have to confess that I feel the same way. I wear glasses when I need to give the impression that I’m smart. There is just something about glasses that says “I’ve ruined my eyes through many late nights of reading & I’m not ashamed to admit it.” When I see people with glasses, I automatically assume they are intelligent. What about you? Am I the only one who feeds into the stereotype?

Regardless of who wins the election, I can only hope that they take a page from Jackson’s speech when he accepted the town selectman position. Granted, I probably wouldn’t try it my first term, but I definitely would my second. We know that they are always thinking it so why don’t they just say it already?

Well, jeez. That was, quite a welcome. Thank you all for coming and supporting me in this… thing here. As I stand on this stage, looking at you all, I can’t help but think.,,I have a job. I have a life. I don’t have time to be selectman. I have a business. I have a kid. And Sookie and I are trying to have another one. ] And the doctor has us on this schedule, and it’s not flexible. And — what was I thinking? What the hell am I doing here? I don’t want to be selectman.

Also, this year I will be taking a page from Rory’s book & switch the sticker you get when you vote from outfit to outfit. Then, I will not steal a boat so my Mom won’t have to freak out about whether or not this jeopardizes my right to vote.

My Gilmore Girls viewing this week coincided with economic times. Not really, but they did mention CSPAN. Rory said jokingly to Paris something like “Ask my Mom, it’s all I talk about.” During another episode Zach is flipping through the channels & says, no way there’s a third CSPAN. I only have two CSPANS but I made a goal to tune in & watch at least an hour.

So far, Lorelei seems right, it’s like watching the security camera at the Men’s Warehouse. Hey, she said it, not me. As far as my political understanding goes, this is what happens in every incidence. A guy in a suit comes out & says “I tried to reach across the aisle. It’s all everyone else’s fault” Then he turns the time over to someone else, who says exactly the same thing. This guy says “thank you” & all the younger guys in suits say thank you with him & turn sharply & walk away.
