I was excited to see that my town was throwing a winter festival.  I excitedly read all of the features in the town newspaper.  (It is kind of like the Star’s Hollow Gazette.  The big story this week was that someone found a deflated weather balloon.  There was a picture & everything.  I can only imagine what they would have printed had no one found a weather balloon.)

The winter festival was going to include contained bomb fires & apple cider.  Contained bon fires are as far as I can make out, flaming trash cans.  Something about the winter festival made me feel like I was playing homeless.  I decided not to go.  I usually support all of the town festivals, but what they never mention during the Gilmore Girls Winter Carnivals is that it’s cold outside in winter.  Really cold.  If they would’ve had a doggy swami I would’ve been there.

Well, I know the practical reason is that she started as a maid when Rory was young & then worked her way up to managing the Independence Inn.  Another practical reason is that Amy Sherman-Palladino made her that way. It just always seemed weird to me that she dreamed of opening her own inn with Sookie.  As a self proclaimed drifter, I’m always curious as to how people end up in their chosen career paths.  It just doesn’t suit Lorelai’s personality.  She’s not really the managing type.  I could see her in that girl band that she joked about starting. I know that many of us end up in jobs that we don’t like, but supposedly it was her dream.  Can you think of a better job for Lorelai?

A $400 pink & white sapphire Hello Kitty pendant. Alternate post title: why we are in a recession. Alternate alternate post title: Some people have too much money & I’m not one of them. I can understand buying it in crystals for like $20 but $400?.

I use to have a roommate who always said the word romantical.  Then we would have fights meetings about whether romantical was actually a word & even if it was a word how it shouldn’t be one.  I was obviously against the word romantical, but just this once I will present what I think are the most romantical Gilmore Girls moments, in no particular order.

1000 yellow daises.  Granted, they were given to Lorelai by Max, not Luke.  However, 1000 yellow daises will always be romantical, no matter who gives them.

Luke & Lorelai’s first kiss.  There’s just something about the combination of “That’s the romantic way to do this dammit”  followed by “Would you just stand still?” that makes all the other boys in the whole world look like losers.

Wow, I’m only at two.  I never really looked to the show because it was about a love story.  i always thought of it as just plain awesome.  Help me out, what should the other three most romantic Gilmore Girls moments be? (Please, only include Christopher if you must.  I might throw up in my mouth a little.)  Also note that my spell check is underlining the word romantical because it is not a word.
