I get to comment about GG at the same time as everyone else!

Gilmore Girls 2x16, 'Bridesmaids Revisited':

I fricking love Christopher. I do. I don't know exactly why. But I always love him, even when I'm busy hating him for being a jerk (see: third season, fifth season). And I enjoy his friendship with Lorelai. So I was happy to see him. However: dude who plays Christoper, STOP CUTTING YOUR HAIR. It looks better when it's a little bit longer. Trust me on this one.

I totally called Lane getting married! Ha!

Also, having gone through five boys total with no luck, it's clearly time for some Rory/Paris femslash. For serious. (voleuse agress with me!)

In GG alum news, we discovered recently that Dave Rygalski is in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Naked Guy Marty is in the movie version of Rent. Awesome.

The Amazing Race 9, Episode 1:

Loving the hippies and the nerds. Those shrieking-harpy faux-glamazons have GOT to go. Next episode, please?

Some of the teams are taking it way too far with the matching outfits and whatnot. The pink girls? "Mojo," with "MO" on one and "JO" on the other? Ick.

The southern dentist jerk was all "I lack compassion" and waaaaaah, I would never want him for my dentist EVER! I believe I shall call him Orin and his blonde servant wife Audrey.

And the single mom and daughter are totally the Gilmore Girls. The daughter even sort of vaguely looks like a Hispanic version of Rory. I was trying out "Gilmoritas" for their name, but not sure it'll stick.

I totally agree on the Amazing Race! The nerds are really cute in a nerdy way. And I like the mother and daughter. And the hippies are amusing. I liked the "galamzons" until they started shrieking non-stop, which was really really irritating. :-)

I like Christopher, too. I seriously do. I told my hubby last night that he and Lorelai should end up together. Luke is rubbing me raw lately.

Sigh...Lane. :( I'm still hoping her old boyfriend will leave the OC and come back to Starshollow.

I am still fuming over the whole "we were on a break" crap, though.

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm ticked at Luke for being so damn oblivious. He wouldn't be himself if he wasn't, but still, ARGH!

I miss Dave Rygalski something fierce. But we'll never get the actor off the OC. :( Zach's okay; "That is *so* not rock 'n' roll!" has become something of a catchphrase around our house.

"We were on a break!" says Ross Logan to Rachel Rory. Nothing new under the sun, right?

[wendyhouse.livejournal.com]

heeee so glad you're caught up! I totally wanted to call you this morning after I watched Bridesmaid but I wasn't sure if you were up to speed.

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

Can't call me of a morning, m'dear, I work for a living now. ;-) 8:30 to 5:30.

[wendyhouse.livejournal.com]

well, I could, you just wouldn't be available! :(

what are you working at?

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

Receptionisting at an architecture firm. It was only supposed to be a week, but they've kept me for two; don't know how much longer.

[wendyhouse.livejournal.com]

coo'.
so more temping, for the moment?

nedward had yogurt today -- LOVED it!

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

Yep, gotta pay those bills. Hopefully Rogue will land a "real" job and then I can be the one who's job-searching.

Oooh, flavored or plain? Any progress on the teeth front?

[wendyhouse.livejournal.com]

YoBaby organic. Plain yogurt with fruit and cereal puree in the bottom. We had strawberry banana, and then raspberry pear. And it was apparently so good that what was left in the container then had to be rubbed all over his body.
So now he's in his diaper on the LR floor, reading a Boynton book quite happily while I find him clean clothes.

On the tooth front, I can *feel* one but still can't really see it. It is, as my mother puts it, the downstage right tooth :)

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

Awww, messy boy!

Yay for feeling the tooth! At least he won't have to gum his way through life. ;-)

[wendyhouse.livejournal.com]

indeed. food choices are so much broader when you have teeth :)

and now he's dressed in his new busy beaver outfit from Gymboree-- so cute!!

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

Awwww!!! I wanna be there. :'(

[wendyhouse.livejournal.com]

I will of course send pictures, but here:

!!!!! cuteness overload!

[rosiewook.livejournal.com]

Well, Chris' hair is cut because the actor has full-time work on another show, now. But I DO like it longer.

As for him and Lorelai getting together? Nope. I think they're always going to be close friends. But it's totally Luke. I know it is. Lorelai just has to learn how to deal with Luke.

And I totally freaked when Lane got engaged. What a wonderful scene! I especially loved how Luke just kept steering her around, afterwards. And he had this great look on his face that tells me we should be seeing progress with Lorelai the next new episode.

I'm also a bit bummed about Rory and Logan breaking up. (Again.) Rory, I thought you had matured. Sex happens; especially to men during a breakup. And I really don't want to see a repeat of the whole Friends storyline, either! Hopefully this one will resolve quickly. I like the idea of Rory riding off into the sunset thrown into the world of her grandparents.

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

What show is the actor on? IMDB was unhelpful.

I don't want Chris and Lorelai together either. I think there's too much between them for that, but they work very well as friends. They have an awesome rapport.

I don't blame Rory for being angry. She just comes from a fundamentally different worldview than Logan, where monogamy is the standard and you don't have one-night-stands. Hell, if it had been just one girl she might've handled it okay. But that it was multiple girls, yeah, I can see where she's coming from.

[gmtarkin.livejournal.com]

And yet, Rory was raised my a single mom who clearly dated a lot (albeit not right in front of Rory). While she wouldn't approve of one-night stands, I find it tough to believe that she's unaware of stupid things you do in relationships. Lorelai is not so much with the commitment.

I find the fact that Logan and Christopher are so alike to be both very real and a bit creepy. I love Christopher, and I'm warming to Logan, but in a way Rory is dating her charming, irresponsible dad. The scene where they compared private schools they had gotten kicked out of was perfect, but a bit eye-opening, I would think.

That being said, my personal belief is that Rory has been aiming for a world somewhere between Lorelai and Emily's, and that Logan suits that balance very well. Plus, the more Christopher-y he gets, the more I'm going to like him. :-)

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

On your first point, absolutely, I think Rory's very aware of stupid things that people do (ie, losing your virginity to your married ex-boyfriend). What really horrified her, I think, was that Logan didn't think he'd done anything wrong. To him, it was perfectly okay to decide you were broken up and proceed to sleep with a lineup of brainless women: "I was depressed, I was lonely, I was upset. I've known these girls forever. It was just companionship. It meant nothing." He never said anything along the lines of "I shouldn't have done it" or "It was a mistake." Which is pretty much 180 degrees from how Rory sees things.

I had noted the similarities between Christopher and Logan, but hadn't really put it together in the sense of "Wow, Rory's dating her dad." It makes total sense, though, as you say-- real, but kinda creepy. Hopefully Logan can make good, like Christopher finally did. (Although he's clearly still learning, too. Gigi is a monster!)

[donnafantastico.livejournal.com]

YAY! Someone else who loves Christopher!!!!!!!!! *clings to you*

Seriously, I have been watching GG since day 1 and you're the first person other than me to say that!

Loving the hippies and the nerds. Those shrieking-harpy faux-glamazons have GOT to go. Next episode, please?

Amen!

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

*clings back* Us Christopher fans gotta stick together! I am sooo terrified to go into GG fandom at large-- I'm not ready yet to have people yell mean things about characters I love. The show is still too new and precious to me for that. I don't wanna turn into a GG cynic just yet (although the show itself isn't helping a whole lot). But ugh, I was reading the post at SZ and someone posted something along the lines of "LORELAI IS A HEINOUS BITCH!" and I ran away because I'm not READY for that, dammit!

[donnafantastico.livejournal.com]

As I said, I've watched GG since Day 1, and I've yet to become a cynic! I credit this to FULL message board avoidance! Never ever ever will I read the TWoP boards, I'm afraid it will ruin my beautiful show! It's soooooo much better that way.

[jainamsolo.livejournal.com]

I believe I shall take a page out of your book and limit my GG involvement to writing in my LJ and reading my friends' LJs. Seems much safer. :)
