It's Tuesday and that means that it is a Gilmore Girls night. I remember way back when, maybe the first or second season, the show was voted "the best show on TV that you are not watching." I never know who they actually poll are watching shows but this show is FANTASTIC. So witty and smart and sassy. In case you have been living under a rock, here's the premise: "Set in a storybook Connecticut town populated with an eclectic mix of everyday folks and lovable lunatics, GILMORE GIRLS is a humorous multigenerational series about friendship, family and the ties that bind. Now beginning its seventh season, the series revolves around thirtysomething Lorelai Gilmore and her college-age daughter, and best friend in the world, Rory. Lorelai has made her share of mistakes in life, but she has been doing her best to see that Rory doesn't follow in her footsteps. That may be easier said than done, considering that the two share the same interests, the same intellect, the same coffee addiction and the same eyes." Read all about it at http://thewb.warnerbros.com/shows/gilmore-girls/about. If you haven't watched the original series, or the reruns on ABC Family, then run, do-not-walk, to the local video store or library and get yourself started back at season one. You will not be disappointed...and the references to pop culture are fantastic. Bangles fans Unite!
And speaking of witty, if you want something witty to read...then try the David Sedaris classic "Holidays on Ice." It rocks (no pun intended) and is laugh out loud amusing. For witty but cute, try "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn. On the kids side of witty, try "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales" by Jon Scieszka. Kudos also to Sedaris for reading his "Holidays on Ice" which will give you witty a la audio.
Witty music? I'd have to hand it to Jimmy Buffett for a few lyrics from "Fruitcakes"...it's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning. He has plenty of other great lyrics so get out that old box set and relive witty to the tune of the beach.
What else is witty in daily life? In Candy Lane, I would say Twix bars and Hot Tamales, witty dessert would be Key Lime Pie, witty hair products are the BedHead Line, Pumpernickel is bread gone witty and Lipstick? "O" by MAC...of course.
