I was told by two people today that Bill Clinton will be devlivering OSU’s 2007 Spring Commencement Address. How funny then that Richard Gilmore would remark in tonight’s episode:
Bill Clinton, thats a speaker I would have enjoyed. Can’t stand his politics, but he has a commanding presence and a nice voice. I wonder if he records books on tape.
Oh man, such a good episode of GG. It really may be the best episode in the 7th season so far, and 1 more to go!
Its Official. Chris was kind enough to IM me the link so I’d know asap. Of course with <SPOILER> Logan asking for permission to marry Rory </SPOILER> the show couldn’t end soon enough. This was echoed by Lauhren Grahmn:
“I care very much how the story ends,” Graham said told the AP. “… It would be my worst nightmare if we end the show with a wedding. To me, the premise of the show was, ‘What if your parent was your best friend?”
The bright spots of season 7: Marty’s return, and his art girl girlfriend were few and far between. The Lane and Lorelai story lines, oh so awful. It was time to end it. But this is a big win for NBC, once Gilmore Girls is gone, Lost will be the only normal fall-winter-spring show I care about which does not air on NBC (or cable).
So this actually came yesterday, but as Tuesdays are Gilmore Girls night, I saved it. I’ve been scouring ebay on occasion for the last year or more for some good deals on posters from the TV shows that I’ve seen all of (list still forthcoming). Eventually I hope to save myself from bare walls rather cheaply. But not as cheaply as I did in college where my only wall decoration was a search warrant for my computers and a list of what the police took (I got it all back so it was cheap). I’m not willing to pay more than $10 for a poster, including shipping, which really limits my options, but also saves me from blowing good money on pop wall art. Anyways my first success, a $7 (inc. shipping) Gilmore Girls Poster. The best part, it’s understated, if you don’t know what the poster is about you just don’t know, it doesn’t spell it out for you. Also, Alexis/Rory is in a really cute dress(edit: camisole, thanks :-P TimK). Now if only it we autographed like Chris’ The Departed poster.
So I watch a lot of TV, I pride myself on that just as much as I prided myself on not watching a lot of TV in high school. Anyways, one of the things I do, in addition to keeping up with up to 8 or so currently airing shows is acquire all of a canceled or 5+ season show and watch all of it in order. I’ve watched a lot of shows this way, and I just finished what I expected to be one of my favorites, Star Trek: The Next Generation. Yes I’m a geek, but I must say it is not nearly as good as some of the other shows of which I’ve watched all (I’m sure I’ll give you a list of those eventually). Partially, the show suffers from the fact that I’ve seen large swaths of it before, I’m even skipping the series finally because I can practically recite the plot by heart. I should have probably started this blog earlier as I did have some interesting reactions, especially to some of the shows I distinctly remember from when I was watching them as a six year old (I’ll probably sprinkle in some of those eventually too). Anyways, my other problem is that I didn’t see all of the episodes I remembered; apparently, I’ve gotten my signals mixed up and assigned shows from other star trek series to ST:TNG. For that very reason I think Arrested Development will have to wait for me to finish both ST:DS9 and ST:VOY, which will likely take me… wow a year (ST:TNG took about 7 months). Wow how do I ever expect to find a girl if I’m spending the next year watching Star Trek reruns.
