I love movies and all, but television can just be so much cooler. Movies have that two hour time limit thing, so just when I've fallen for a character, the credits roll, and that's that.

I've got a new one. Gilmore Girls. I don't know why I didn't watch it. One episode was all it took to hook me. I love that Rory's adorable, responsible, actually looks like a sixteen year old, reads all the time, likes school, and really gets along with her mother. And oh, yeah, is still portrayed as cool.

My mother likes it too. Problem: it's going to be on Tuesdays in the fall. At eight. The same time as Buffy. Which I tape AND watch. Though I suppose I could just tape and watch later? Except I'm a compulsive show taper and I suspect I may want to start taping Gilmore Girls soon. God. Addiction. It's bad.

But there is nothing remotely interesting in the new fall lineup... except, possibly, Alias.

But why the fuck is there going to be a Survivor 3? Good god. That's just not needed. Television is supposed to be storytelling. On the Island of Me, anyway. Which would, I suppose, be why I never watch the news.

But Gilmore Girls. God, is it good. Witty. Charming. Sweet. It just makes me happy. It makes me proud of my absurdly good relationship with my mother. It even makes me want to like Connecticut. No small feat.

Oooh, I'm so glad you're enjoying Sarah Harmer! You Were Here is, without a doubt, the best cd I've bought in the past year. And I've bought a lot. ;)
