Tobin: I moved to Utah because I heard there was lots of job opportunities for industrious Mormons.
Loralei: I didn’t know you were a Mormon.
Tobin: I wasn’t, so I became one. The paperwork took weeks. And I didn’t know about the alcohol thing.
Loralei: They famously abstain.
Tobin: No coffee either. The choir is fabulous, but then there’s the funny underwear. It didn’t last.

Tobin: I found some websites I’d like to recommend to you, Loralei. I spent a lot of time online when I was a Mormon. There wasn’t much else to do.

What has Gilmore Girls said about your state?

The cats. They know that I’ve broken up with Jason and that I’m alone. And they’ve decided that it’s time for me to become a crazy cat lady.

I was putting away my groceries when all of a sudden a cat comes strolling out of my bathroom…in my house. I do not own a cat. In fact, I usually have to hold back my very valid argument that cats are actually Satan. They are the one thing that I’m terrified of. This event only further proves that fact. Now they can go through walls and transport themselves through the time and space continuum. I tried to get the cat to leave without picking it up. I said what I thought would be his name rather sternly and pointed toward the door, nothing. He ran under the futon (the futon, yet another symbol of carefree alone-ness, I won’t even be bound by the traditional definition of furniture). Had he not eventually gotten bored and walked out the front door I would probably still have a cat.

Now excuse me while I go yell at the kids who are rock climbing on the decorative rock of the apartment building. I’m a spinster, it’s what we do.

This morning I decided to try one of the cereal combos that Rory & Paris invented.  Well not exactly because I didn’t have five different kinds of cereal or half and half. I settled on Captain Crunch & Cinnamon Toast Crunch because they both have Crunch in the name. Surprise surprise I don’t own any grown up cereals. Hey, I like to solve the puzzles on the back of the box while I eat. It gets my brain ready for the rest of the day.

Eventually, the cinnamon overpowered everything and the different sizes and shapes of the cereal didn’t allow for them to become soggy at the same rate. It was good, but I wouldn’t necessarily do that combo again. I can see how it would be helpful if you had to eat something boring like shredded wheat and wanted to liven it up with Cocoa Pebbles. I’m so good at cooking.

I’ve always defended the acting on the show. I usually say something like “Did you see them talk fast?  Rory show them how you talk fast.” There is one scene that is supposed to be serious but makes me laugh every time. It takes place in Season 4 in the episode “Nag Hammadi is where They Found the Gnostic Gospels” It’s the scene where a drunk Luke goes to fix Lorelai’s window and has a ranting fit about what Jess said to him and accidentally cuts his hand. I live in Utah & Luke isn’t even a convincing drunk to me. It’s the worst acting I’ve seen on any show ever. I can only assume that he taught April how to cry. What do you think is the worst acting on Gilmore Girls?
