Pamie,
I just found Television Without Pity and have been reading your GG recaps. They're hilarious! I especially enjoyed the details of your upcoming wedding. As someone who was married for twenty-four years: DON'T DO IT! All right, go ahead and do it, but remember it's a crapshoot. You can intellectualize all you like, but it boils down to this: you guys will change over the years (especially if you have kids). The question is whether you change in compatible ways or incompatible ways, and you have absolutely no way of predicting. Okay enough of the bitter old divorced-person stuff. My daughter and I watch GG together every week and sometimes I fall asleep, so the recaps help. But I have a question: who is mfTL? I can't find where you first used the term. Thanks.
Despite all the advice, I do believe I'm still going to get married.
Luke, Lorelai, Dean, and Rory enter Lorelai's house, still talking about Pippi Longstocking. Lorelai offers everyone a beer, which Dean gladly accepts. This makes Luke scoff, because Dean's so young. But Dean and Rory have been underage drinking for over a year now, and Dean's married, so I think legally he can totally drink alcohol. Luke looks like he's already drunk and now crazy, as he grumps that Dean isn't twenty-one yet. Dean flashes a cute dimple, but I'm still not giving him his old prefix. It's not Jared Padalecki's fault; they've made the character devoid of character. Dean says he'll have something other than a beer if Luke's got a problem with it. Luke calls Dean "buddy" -- I hate it when guys do that -- and says that Dean can have a beer, since he's so tall and in slacks. Someone fix Luke's hair. Lorelai asks what she can bring Dean. He asks for water. Luke tells him to put some barley and hops in it, since nobody's judging him. Since it is Lorelai's house, she says she'll bring out enough beers for everyone, but hopefully Rory won't drink them all. Can't someone tell Luke it's time for him to go home? Why are they even bothering with his crabby ass? I needed Luke to tell off that woman sitting in front of me on the plane yesterday. Her Windsong's still on my tongue. Lorelai leaves.
Rory can't figure out how to get Dean and Luke together again, so she reminds them that they were once on a softball team together. Dean says it was just a pick-up game. Luke and Dean walk to opposite sides of the room as Rory goes on and on about that game, and how they were a part of the best team Stars Hollow has ever had. I guess a school just let out around this coffee shop, because it has become swarmed with children, who are running around, screaming, eating scones. Kids ordering scones. I've seen everything. No: here's how I just saw everything. I looked up in frustration because of the screaming and the children, and sitting across from me making the same, exhausted face, is Eyebrows. I am living a WB life without any of the WB payroll. Well, here's hoping it comes with the WB wardrobe. The baristas just blasted Beck, hoping to lull the children into some kind of slumber, but the bedlam is making it difficult for me to hear the episode. How appropriate that I'm surrounded with childlike behavior, considering what's about to happen in this scene. Rory is reduced to humming, "Dum-dee-dum-dum-dum-dum." Then Lorelai asks her if that's a song. Rory says it was just "Dum-dee-dum-dum."
