For the color, I was kind of iffy. Pink was obvious, because I’m a girl. However, the negative association with Pink & Kelly Osbourne ruled out that one. If I really wanted to be like Lane it should be purple, but I was afraid my hair wouldn’t take such a drastic color change without the bleach. Again, I don’t have any celery soda. So I put the color pomade in my hair & I looked so rock & roll. I took a picture. I then proceeded to wash my hair 10-12 times until all traces were gone. I think next time I’ll just photoshop a picture of myself so I have purple hair. I did get the obligatory picture though:

I started the movie & was pleasantly surprised to not have the faded color, but I just couldn’t watch it because it was from the 70’s & for all I knew they were going to fade into that horrible color at any moment. I think I maybe have just created a new phobia, I hope they don’t name it after me.

If I’m going to be a Gilmore Girl, I have to have a Paris to be my foil, challenge me, make me look sweet by comparison. Look, you have to like me people, I’m not nearly as annoying as that girl. Unfortunately, all of my friends are nice.

So I went on a quest to find my very own Paris. I spent some time in the reference section of the bookstore because that’s where it seems like Paris would hang out, but I was in a chain bookstore & I didn’t know if she’d be there. I checked to see if anyone was yelling at the customer service people or saying “This is my natural speaking voice.” I live in a small town so I’m always on the lookout for hungry reporters trying to find the seedy underbelly. “Stars Hollow doesn’t have a seedy underbelly.”

I’m thinking that maybe I’ll just set up some kind of complicated chart system & see who stops to look at it. I really have to find a Paris, otherwise it means that I AM the Paris of my own world, & I just can’t have that.

It happened during the B&B episode. The Gilmores had finally braved the B&B lobby because of their weakness for scones. There is a huge cultural difference here. I live in Utah & once had a conversation like this with from someone back east “No, a scone is fry bread. Ummm fry bread? It’s like umm a scone”. So the confused party looked up scone online & brought me a picture of something that looked like a muffin. A scone is not a muffin.

Anyways, on the show they were eating the muffin scone impostors that look like this:

Actually a scone is bread that is fried. It is yummy. It looks like this:

This pretty much ensures that I will never move east. All because of the scones. What do scones look like in your area?

They talk as least as fast as the Gilmores on The West Wing. Granted, the West Wing lacks humor, cute clothes, & Kirk. However, I just close my eyes & enjoy the wpm.

There was this really cool B&B that I came across in my search where the rooms were based on different authors. It seemed perfect. I’ve never stayed in a Bed & Breakfast before just because I’m a little bit scared of them, especially since seeing the Gilmore Girls experience. It just like I’m staying in a stranger’s house & that stranger may have imported floral wallpaper from France. The scones would be nice though. In the end, I just couldn’t risk it & decided to stay in a hotel, although I might’ve gotten an interesting blog post if the B&B was like the Chesire Cat.

• The first trip was to the Chesire Cat Inn & road trip to Harvard.
• One to Martha’s Vineyard with Logan & Luke.
• A long drive with Emily to the fake Mia’s wedding.

Let’s face it, most of the time on other TV shows when the cast takes a road trip or is outside of their element, it sucks. Not true in this case. (Well fine, the Martha’s Vineyard episode left a lot to be desired, but Amy didn’t write it, Daniel did.)

I really love the Gilmore road trips. I love watching the Gilmore’s watch a roomba vacuum the floor. It’s just that kind of show, it can work in all kind of situations. I’m going on a road trip & was trying to think how to make it more Gilmore. The only thing that I can think of is that I need to have my window rolling up privileges revoked. At least I don’t know how to fold a map correctly. I’m more of the Lorelai approach. I just crumple it up & say “Is it smaller? OK, then”.

I have no idea what that says. It was obviously important enough for me to commemorate it on a post it. In other news, I’m not like Rory because I use pink post it notes & Rory uses serious office supplies.

I didn’t watch the preview for Jezebel James because I couldn’t find the mute button, or really the unmute button. I’ll definitely be tuning in. Once again, not having a life pays off.  If you’re reading this after the show aired, what did you think about it?
