i started reading Jane Eyre a couple of days ago because it is perfect Fall reading: blustery, dreary November days in the fields of Britain; a psychotic wife trapped in an attic; an intense and rugged man named Rochester; and an indomitable female protagonist who loves books and truthfulness. what more can a reader ask for really? but i have a ( Read more... )

They sell an awesome "smoother" product that reduces frizz. You should try it.

This is what I took away from this episode... hottness:

Christopher was on the screen. I muttered "He's totally hott." (way hotter than luke).

Shirtless Logan was on the screen. I muttered "He's totally *totally* hott".

Then I laughed at myself. Then I thought about how my brain might explode if Christopher and shirtless logan were on the screen at the same time.

I thought of you when logan said he had a scone! I was like "oh man, I wonder what robyn thinks about this... scones ON gilmore girls!"

aww, you thought of me.

yeah, christopher was looking very nice in his blazer when he was at dinner with rory. i also found him attractive when he was talking to her on his cell phone in the coffee shop. a man in a coffee shop is made twice as hot just by his location.

Maybe it was Logan being shirtless, but I'm beginning to accept him. And this season is great. No more agony like last year.

The little girls - both the one she was supposed to be and the one she used to be - makes me wonder if not only this episode, but the the whole story about the gilmore girls will end with Lorelai making peace with her parents.

yeah, lorelai was really questioning herself in relation to her parents (i found the scene with the poptarts very entertaining). i wonder if they will ever make peace?

Thank you for the GG recap! Sounds like a good episode, I will definitely try to get a copy of it to watch. And now I have a Lorelai icon in which she looks like me!

Here's a dirty secret for you - I have never read Jane Eyre. Or Wuthering Heights.

Somehow I managed to get an english degree and never read those. My scope of interest bypassed a big chunk of classic lit. However, I did purchase a copy of one of those two books a while ago, except now I forget which one. I think it's Jane Eyre,and I do plan to read it eventually.

i was going to say that icon looks like you! i wish i looked like lorelai. i think i look more like kirk.

do you like modern and contemporary lit? because i've found that people who are really into modern stuff HATE jane eyre and wuthering heights. and don't feel so bad, i just read wuthering heights for the first time last year!

I do like modern lit, but I wouldn't say I'm especially "into" it. I don't know if I have a favorite genre anymore. I am hoping I will actually like jane. I'll let you know when I get to her.
