Poor Rory!

File Under: Guilty Pleasures

I love the show "Gilmore Girls" and was sad when it went off the air. I thought the writing was brilliant, the pop culture references were sharp and fast, and the acting was great. I want to live in a town like Stars Hollow with all it's quirky residents and places to go.

This morning I was sorting laundry and found an episode being shown on ABC Family. Once I heard the theme music, I was hooked. Mind you, I can watch it any time, I have the entire series on DVD. But, to find it on TV was a treat. It was an episode from season 2 or 3. Rory apparently had just broken up with Dean and was so sad. She was having trouble relating to her friends and her mom.

Twice during the episode, I found myself near tears. I felt so bad for poor Rory. I wanted to hug her and tell her that I understand and that it'll be okay. I have never cried during an episode of the show, but this morning I was close. How pathetic am I? I'm laughing about it now.

I eventually got out of the house, made it to the laundromat, the book store (half-off calendars!) and The Gap ($21 pants!). Afterwards I hit the gym.

Now I may run to Target. I don't necessarily HAVE to run to Target but I'm drawn to it just because it's a big shopping day and I don't really feel like schleping out to Macy's. I still have $119 to spend on my Flex Spending account, which expires 12/31. First Aid kits for everybody!

File Under: Television Faves

One of my favorite television shows, Gilmore Girls, ended last year. It ran its course, the last season just wasn't the same without the original producer at the helm. Back in November the final season was released on DVD. Best Buy had it on sale and now my collection is complete!

What remains incomplete are other favorite TV shows:
Friends - I have seasons 1-4, 6, 8 and 9. For some reason I started buying them out of order.

Will and Grace - I have seasons 1-4. I don't think they're all out yet so I'm safe.

Mad About You - I loved this show but managed to only buy season 1. I don't even know if they're all out, yet.

Seinfeld - Seasons 1 - 6 are in my collection. Almost done with that collection.

Nip/Tuck - Um...well, I wasn't really a fan of this show until I saw a clip of an episode involving a hot scene between a doctor and patient and then I knew this was a series I should own. The stories are good, the sex is really good (as far as cable goes). I have seasons 1-3. Season 3 is where that hot scene I described above appears.

There are a couple others, I can't recall right now, they're buried in the stack. Maybe I'll discuss them in another post.
