This. And dramas. I am admittedly a huge wuss, but it selfishly frustrates me to know that there are so many good tv shows out there that I just can't watch because I won't be able to stomach them.

You have inspired me to pick up a bottle of my favorite bubbly and some elderflower liquor for Nov 8. I will be drinking alone, but at least I can drink in style.

Thank goodness for this thread. I just moved from NJ to California, blue to blue, but am on a military base and surrounded by people I am trying really hard to stay friendly with and doing my damnedest to not bring up politics but hearing complaints about liberals and killary. I am getting pretty good at shifting the conversation. Luckily, there is not a lot of outright Trump support, but he is seen around here as the lesser of two evils. I am just trying to power through the next 10 days, but the thing that really makes me anxious is that either way, the next four years are going to be just as fractured and tense. I am trying to just focus on the change in scenery and enjoy the warmer weather.

I like GG well enough and watch it, but my UO is I do not get why it still inspires soooo much discussion after all these years.

I loved Kelly's tattoo. I am really hoping she wins, she seems cool and I have liked just about everything she has done on this show.

The Devil Wears Prada. I do actually feel bad for Andy's boyfriend when she misses his birthday, but man, the rest are such jerks giving her a guilt trip about her job but still taking all the free shit she offers with glee.

I really really hope they don't go there with Ginny and Mike. I am such a sucker for platonic opposite sex professional friendships, and I can see these two making a great pair. I agree with @Enero that MIke was looking longingly at her and the group because he is starting to not fit in with the team as he wants a more settled life. As for the gym scenes, I saw it as more of a competition, and I have been watching tv long enough now that I think it was kind of a male gaze-y type thing that the camera was trying to get the audience to check Ginny out. I was not a huge fan of the agent turning more to work after infertility and a divorce, it seemed too cliche and hokey to me. But I am willing to see where the story goes. And man, I just feel bad for Ginny's brother, between getting slapped in the face to make his sister do better and him giving up in this ep for her own good. Hopefully he comes back.

I actually don't find her to be overally weird or awkward at all? I didn't watch or know anything about this trial previously, but while watching this she seemed like an emotive person who was caught in a completely shitty situation. Now, the reporter they interviewed? He seemed completely scummy to me and missing any sense of empathy. I felt disgusted whenever he came on.

I freaking love the Project Chimps red. As a PSA, it is a great red that does not pull orange or fuschia if you have issues with that as I do. And Kat Von D makes the only liquid lipsticks that don't make me feel like my lips will crack after wearing them. I ended up skipping the Bite set as I am drowning in nude lipsticks. Instead, I cashed in my ulta points and got the Lorac Mega Pro 3. I am hoping it has the same quality of the permanent palettes. I would love to hear opinions on the Ultimate Basics. I am more into matte shadows lately, but have seen mixed reviews. Those mauvey tapes though......

I like Broad City, but don't find Illana (the curly haired one) funny at all. She is just too much. To me, the show is all about the awkward Abby moments. And Lincoln, but it is really hard not to like Lincoln.

It totally depends on what you are looking for in a palette, but I had the chocolate bar and would recommend against it. For me, I enjoy palettes bc they can offer a lot of variety for your buck. I have neutral to warm light skin, and on me almost all the browns looked the same and the purples were just kind of bad quality. Personally, it is not worth having 10 shades of brown that are very similar. Since you are cool, the Bon Bon bar might suit you better, and I feel it has more variety, making it a fun choice. On topic, I am having a really hard time convincing myself not to buy the bite beauty lipstick set.

My least favorite Lorelai moment will always be "I got the good kid."

Honestly, Lorelei seemed far more intelligent and quick witted to me than Rory. Rory was a reader and good at knowing things, but I thought Lorelei just seemed brighter, if that makes sense.

That is fair to not sympathize with Rachel. But I have hard time sympathizing with Ross who supposedly loved Rachel soooooo much but it only took an immature fight to sleep with someone else. Sure, I can see it happening, people do dumb things when drunk and brokenhearted. But his running around town trying to hide it instead of coming clean along with his massive jealousy makes him look like a jerk in my eyes. Meh, they both suck. Team single both of them.

This show was depressing as fuck when it came to the teen set that stayed in Stars Hollows, which I thought was so weird and antiquated. Dean, Lane, Lindsay...couldn't someone who stayed had a happy ending? It seemed like it was prestigious college or nothing. Jess was the only non-Ivy kid of Rory's age who got to grow. And he had to move across the country to get it. It is just so unrealistic to me, I am about Rory's age and had plenty of friends go state school route and end up pretty successful out of college. Anyway, I fall in the writers did a poor job with Dean camp. I don't think he was a particularly charming character, but I do think he was dumbed down for the sake of the story. And yeah he was jealous and possessive, but he was a kid. Plus in the end, he was right about Jess and Rory.

I will always love Leslie telling off Ben by saying she talked to everyone at the party and they all said they wanted him to leave. Following by Ann saying "that was so professional Leslie" an Amy Poehler just giving this serene, proud look. So many good drunk moments on this show.

I don't like Paris too much. She has a quick wit, but I can't get past her very competitive nature. People like her grate on me in real life so I don't find her as entertaining as a lot of others do. Not sure how unpopular/popular this is, but this show is always the most compelling to me when it focuses on the dynamic between Richard, Emily, and Loralei. I actually find episodes with Chilton or townie heavy plots boring. This is kind of hard for me to articulate and this may not be the right place for this, but here goes. I like this show, but it kind of baffles me that it still causes this much discussion on boards after all these years, compared to other similar shows of the era. I have been rewatching on Netflix and it's engaging, but I can't figure out why so many people find it so compelling to discuss.

I love Rachel with the friends, but seriously, whenever she has a love interest, her behavior makes me cringe so badly. I don't find it funny or cute, just annoying. The only time I didn't mind it as much was with Joshua, because I got the sense it was supposed to be cringey.

I will take politics talk any day over the Olympics. At least it might actually impact my life somehow.

I am afraid it will just have Wolf of Wall Street effect where people see douche-iness as being super cool and fun.

The Olympics are boring. Winter, summer. Both boring.

I like the balance of the current batch of episodes. It was nice to catch up with the residents of Beach City before all the gem action. Lost at Sea.... I am still trying to wrap my head around this episode. I am glad that they are exploring the darker side of Lapis. I was proud of her for getting Jasper out of there and not giving in to missing being Malachite. I do think she is hiding the real reason she came to Earth. I loved Greg the Babysitter. I was never a huge Rose fan, but her interactions with the coolest baby ever, Sour Cream, had me cracking up. I really enjoy the flashback episodes. As a side note, a Peridot twitter has been made and has been greatly entertaining me all week. I really want to see a Peridot and Lapis as roomies ep.

I think the ideas of breaks are somewhat immature, but I don't consider them break ups per se. To me, it means taking time to think about the relationship apart with the expectation that there will be a conversation about whether to continue the relationship. So while I think they were on a break (since they didn't really end the break as Ross overreacted and hung up as soon as he heard Mark), I think it was in the realm of cheating.

I saw this one mostly on Hulu awhile ago, but it really bugged me. Rashida Jones and her friends are sitting around watching something on their tablets, ands she asks them all what football movie they are watching. Her friend says he is watching Catch Me if You Can. She kind of glowers at him. Why does she care?! Why are they all in the same room watching different movies? Unless you are going to pick a movie to watch together, why does he have to stick to a football theme?

If you are looking for a lengthening and curling waterproof mascara, Heroina Make Long and Curl is the absolute best I have ever tried. It gives my average lashes the doll lash look. It stays on through sweaty heat. Only issues are that it is hard to find (have to order on Amazon) and it is hard to take off at the end of the day.
