I even cook like a Gilmore

I broil most everything.  It’s faster than actually waiting for something to cook.  Yet, it still uses the oven so I feel good about myself.  One year, I had an old fashioned stove in my college apartment.  I put the food in the oven, cranked it as high as it would go & nothing happened.  I spent twenty minutes trying to make it set on fire.  Years later I watched this episode of The Gilmore Girls where Max shows them the broiler. Ohh that’s what the funny drawer with the fire was for.  Now I know.

Stealing thunder

I think my dad was a little bit disappointed when he bought a Jeep.  He had been saving up for this manly car for years & I ruined it by saying “Ohhh that’s what Lorelai Gilmore drives.”  I didn’t offer to go off roading with him.  I didn’t ask just how many vertical feet it could climb without tipping over.  Instead, I said “So can I drive around in it & listen to Carol King?”  He let me & it was fabulous.  Jeeps are noiser than they appear on the show.

All About Eve

Paris makes a reference to Eve Harrington when Rory is supposed to give a Yale tour to that Anna girl.  Of course, I looked up who Eve Harrington was, found it was from the classic movie called All About Eve & hunted down the 1950s movie.

I had assumed that I had already watched All About Eve, just because it’s talked about a lot.  I had not.  I also assumed that I knew the general story line.  I did not.  I even assumed that Bettie Davis would annoy me with her Bettie Davis eyes.  She did not.  This film was captivating &  it’s hard to captivate me because I’m cynical.
