This is one of those things that I think about daily but I’ve never been brave enough to try. I love the scene where Rory and Lorelai both hover in order to get a table at Luke’s. They just go stand next to the person and look at them. I’m sure that it would work and it’s not like you can get arrested for looking at someone.  I read somewhere that it’s a sign of psychopathness to turn and face people in the elevator instead of looking at the door like everyone else. Granted, when I read the study the word psychopathness was not used but the medical world obviously does not have my way with words.

LUKE: Well, let’s just say you can wait your whole life waiting for bells to fall into disrepair. Sometimes they need a push.

A few years ago I was immediately drawn to my new college campus because of the bell tower. There was even an unsanctioned school event where kids would gather under the bell tower and kiss at midnight throughout the entire bell chime. I did not do this because it was gross. Other than that, the bells were enchanting…at first.  Never before was there such an annoying reminder that the hour or half hour was coming. I was lucky enough to be able to hear the bells in my apartment.   If only I’d known this then:

LUKE: Well, I was thinking we could just jam the turnbuckle, or wedge the main mechanism, just for fun disconnect a few of the clappers; Contrary to popular belief you don’t have to break every bell. If you just damage a couple, say the tierce and the prime, you pretty much ruin the set.

Dating would be so much easier if men just wore labels. Sometimes, I know that I’m dating someone that reminds me of Gilmore Girls. Then, I can’t figure out if that person is Luke or Christopher and that’s a pretty big difference. I get so confused and think “No Christopher is too good for him, he’s definitely a Logan.” I end up pondering if I would be happy with a Dean. I gravitate more towards Jess. There are plenty of men like Jess out there, but the punk kid one, not the literary, more dependable thought provoking one. Sadly, I have never found an Adam Brody. That’s why they should all get signs that say the character they most resemble. I’ll take one Luke please.

Like Lorelai I watched this movie because of the name. I envisioned a lot of women running around going ya ya. I wanted ya ya to become a catch phrase for empowerment. Plus, there was a pretty sunflower on the cover. It looked like such an uplifting movie. After about half an hour I was pointing the remote control to my head and pressing the rewind button as if this would somehow erase the memory of this awful, awful film. The only good thing about this movie is the title and the cover.
