I usually like to play April Fool’s jokes in June.  No one is expecting it then.  On April first everyone is prepared.  I have always wanted to recreate the scene from Lorelai’s dream where she wakes up to dozens of alarm clocks going off.  This isn’t so much a prank as it is annoying.

I don’t know if the alarm clock industry has gotten a bail out so someone needs to do their part & buy them all up.  There are things that go on in my head that people who don’t watch Gilmore Girls will just never understand.  Unfortunately, they still have to live with me.

I was just watching the episode with the urine mints again.  Sadly, if you search for urine mints in google, the first search result isn’t about Gilmore Girls. This took place during Rory’s awkward date with Trevor.  She couldn’t think of anything to say so she started talking about this study that shows that the restaurant mints have traces of urine on them.  You know urine mints.  I was just trying to think of my most awkward dating conversation & there have been so many of them.

I know that once my friend, who is actually really good at dating, was telling me how she tried to break the ice by telling stories about working in a nursing home & the elderly’s bathroom habits.  I thought this was so funny, that I used it on my next date.  I think this post explains a lot about why I’m single.  If I’m not having a good time, I at least try to switch the evening up so I find it entertaining. I think urine mints are funny.  What are your most awkward dating conversations?  What are you supposed to talk about on a first date?

Every single time I have to think of a spurr of the moment gift I think of Fruits de le Terre.  You know, that present that Lorelai tried to give to Luke after their Europe trip.

I just want to see if I can pass off a relabeled smuckers jar as fine fancy jam.  I want to tell the story of Sochelle & her burning desire to make jam.  I want to say jamstress with a straight face. I actually think I could get away with this as a hostess gift.  Especially if it is around people that have never watched the show. I need to go practice on my delivery. I am slightly evil.

Go here & look at this.

I don’t usually talk about the actual actors on Gilmore Girls.  It’s probably because while I love them, I don’t like them as much as their characters.  If I had to admit that Luke Danes doesn’t actually exist I’ll give up dating altogether.

Anyways, they did this amazing photo shoot called “70 Years of American Style Icons”.  Alexis Blidel was Rosie the Riveter.  It’s a striking image, but she looks a lot angrier than Rosie did.  She really needs to stand up straight when having her photograph taken. Still, it’s super pretty.

Also, I was reading a book called “Hollywood Beauty Secrets” & they asked Alexis how she gets such creamy skin.  She swears by steaming her face with olive oil once a week.  That scared me, somehow I’m sure I’d accidentally deep fry my skin.
