I know Kristen Chenoweth is a big deal on Broadway but my entire knowledge of her is that locker room scene on Frasier. Which is one of the funniest scenes ever.

Ha he is whitebread indeed.
I saw this movie about a hundred years ago and I don't remember much about it, so I apologize in advance for being poor company.

The situations are so wildly different that I don't think "full circle" even remotely applies. Rory has a degree and a trust fund, she is never going to have to live in a shed and be a maid or suffer any hardship whatsoever because she's single and raising a child.
I wonder if originally ASP planned for Rory to get pregnant in high school and the network didn't go for it.

But be overweight and have sex (Kate and Toby) and one of you is going to die. Nice message, show. And from all of us fatties out there, go fuck yourself.
Until they say otherwise I am thinking it was one of those airplane blood clot situations. He mentioned being in the middle seat about a thousand times, so you know he wasn't moving around on the plane.

Listening to all the nitpicky pain-in-the-ass and lifelong things she would have to do after the surgery, I thought to myself that a regular old diet and exercise regimen sounded like the much easier option.
I love Randall to pieces.
I have got to say, I truly admire a show with the balls to throw tragedy into a Christmas episode. At first all their talk of "nothing bad happens on Christmas Eve" had me rolling my eyes (and also thinking, if this were real life, eventually that statement would bite you in the ass hard), and then they go and strike down Toby. I loved that. It's been the kind of year where I really don't want to watch a heartwarming cheery Christmas episode, so that was perfect, for me.

sometimes we get 'Squee on this, bitches.'
Hurt myself laughing at that. So true!
And I have no idea if this was still in my reply box from a previous reply that never went through or for some other reason, so if I'm repeating myself I apologize: I didn't know much about the Palladinos until Bunheads when people were posting interviews all the time, but at that point it did become clear why they haven't had Shonda-level success all these years.

And, because I am "that bitch" tonight, I can't help but think how delightfully ironic it would be if some of the properties they looked at had deeds with restrictive covenants: "No neo-Nazis, KKK members, sympathizers of same, or those who directly benefit from the racism of these hate groups need apply."
Maybe Drumpf will know what it feels like to be discriminated against when it comes to housing.
Isn't her husband Jewish? Because it would be even more ironic if that kept them out of something.

Then mention that you are just getting over a sinus infection, so you are feeling a little low energy
Oh! It's flu season, say you think you're coming down with something and then cough a lot! That ought to have people avoiding your space.

I really enjoyed Liane Moriarty's Truly Madly Guilty which was a breezy read and am now onto Michael Chabon's Moonglow which is so rich I can only read a bit of it at a time.
I loved Truly Madly Guilty (and all her books) and I'm off to sample Moonglow.
Has there been any discussion on here about Small Great Things - Jodi Picoult? (If so I'll go back and look for it.)

I agree, and I don't think it can be emphasized enough, there is no point in engaging - save your breath and your sanity and maybe even your personal safety from what I've seen online. Whatever ways this can be fought, engaging supporters will not be with one of them.

Advice needed. Next week, all week, I will be on a business trip with no less than 15 Trump supporters and sharing a room with one. We are all federal employees. In the past, I have tried avoiding the subject with these people, but they are dogged in their Trump love and Hillary hate. I guess I need some good comebacks for these people when they ignore my initial polite refusal of not talking about the subject. Any suggestions?
Is there any chance you could feign laryngitis? Or an ear infection that affects your hearing? You could compile a list of subject-changing topics, maybe? "Trump blah blah blah" / "Speaking of Trump, I read the other day that yams cause cancer." (It's a post-factual world - make up what you want!) Or you could damn him with praise. "Yes isn't Trump delightful! I can't wait for WWIII so we can kick ass and take names!" That way you're agreeing with them while maintaining your integrity. Or whenever someone mentions Trump tell them you've started selling Tupperware on the side, would they like to hear details about hosting a party? I would definitely try the headphones someone mentioned, and carry a book with me at all times. Maybe that Scientology book, and if someone mentioned Trump say "oh by the way since you love Trump let me tell you what I've learned about Scientology!"

When I read the replies to any criticism of him on Twitter I feel like I've slipped into the Upside Down. He tweets some outrageous lie and people say "he tells it like it is!" Someone bothers to provide proof that it's a lie and they say "you're just mad because he doesn't need the lying MSM to speak to his followers!" He talks to Taiwan and they're all, "how refreshing that he ignores the libtard snowflake PC rules!"
One of the promoted ads I see most frequently in my timeline is for the Banana Republic ... I wonder why.

I'm finding it amusing to understand Rory's attraction to the Wookie as a misguided attempt to capture the escapism provided by the LDB. Costumes and pretend don't work without the money and entitlement, I guess.
Turns out that money and entitlement provided the escapism, not the LDB.

I would really love to know what market research resulted in all these perfume commercials of women escaping their golden diamond-encrusted prisons. It's like "Calgon take me away" except you can't figure out why they want to get away. "Chanel, take me away from this rich husband and fancyass ball."

See that's my main problem with the commercial. It's the idea that you have to have all this stuff to have a merry christmas. My grandma and I did puzzles together to pass the time. This idea that we need wifi and Netflix to be happy is just sad. Like I said earlier yeah if you are staying for a week eventually you'll need to check your email and a couple episodes of Stranger Things would be nice but good grief this crazy jubilation over Home Alone is just bizarre.
I think that sadly, that commercial is 100% accurate. I think the internet is like electricity, you don't realize how much you take it for granted until it's out. I recently spent a few hundred years in a wifi-free, cell-free zone, and it was like the world suddenly went black and white and sound-free. And I'm closer in age to the grandparents than the kids, so it's not even a generational thing. It's not just Netflix, it's books, music, games and communication. It's ordering pizza, looking up store hours, checking whether the poinsettia is poisonous to cats, getting a prescription refilled, and a thousand other things that you don't realize you can't do until you can't do them. We've moved on from encyclopedias and phone books and so on - the world has changed, if you've got grandchildren just suck it up and get the wifi!

I don't think Rory saying she's buying the Gazette packs any kind of emotional punch. I mean it could be an interesting story, but not so much as the infamous last four words.
And that right there is the problem with teases like the infamous four words, or where is the island, or how he met your mother, or any other show where they dangle that kind of a carrot on a stick: it is never going to live up to the hype, and attempting to make it live up to the hype always involves a contortion that mostly pisses people off. Buying the Gazette wouldn't have that kind of emotional punch but it would have been a satisfying ending for me - Rory was in her element as editor at Yale, way more so than she ever has been as a journalist, and I would have enjoyed picturing her whipping that paper into shape. I do not enjoy picturing her raising a child by herself in her thirties, because I've already seen that movie. But the four words are required to be shocking since ASP has gone on about them for years, so a baby it is.

Your explanations do make sense stillshimpy and Keepitmoving. I guess a ray of hope is that maybe the next generation won't be so quick to believe it's on them.

It is still just blowing my damned mind that apparently, I care more about what happens to those people than they do.
I still can't wrap my head around women voting for a sexual predator. I would have thought that would be the end of it right there, but no.

I actually kind of admire the way she refocused the question. The way she'd rather put the focus on Rory's agency rather than the men in Rory's life is a storytelling choice I appreciate.
If fans think the men in Rory's life are the focus and not her career, that's on ASP, not the fans. The show did end with Rory saying she's pregnant, not Rory describing how she's going to (for example) use her trust fund to buy the Stars Hollow newspaper and turn it back into a newspaper that matters.

If I had to use one word to describe ASP it would be disingenuous. It's always a mystery to her why fans think that the things she deliberately sets in motion are, in fact, set in motion!

True, I don't think she's "owes" anyone anything either. But my point was that if you are -genuinely- campaigning against an injustice and a man who is truly a threat to all that you believe in and support--AND you have a platform to reach people on issues--it seems it would be an innate commitment, esp. after all these years of public service not to give up the fight now, when our country faces our biggest challenge--most dangerous leadership team--ever.nty of time for R&R.
I hear you but really, what more could she say? The people who support him aren't listening to her or anyone else on the left, or even people on the right if they're anti-Trump. (Which I think is about three people now, but I haven't looked at the headlines this afternoon- maybe they all caved too.) I don't know what ought to be done but it seems to me, it has to be something other than the thing that already didn't work.

It's weird to me that abortion isn't even on the table as an option, it's just a given that Rory pregnant = Rory has a baby. Like it's the sixties and not 2016. (Or 2017 not 2016, the way things are going.)
