Freaks & Geeks

For those out there who are lucky enough to have seen the one-year-long show, Freaks and Geeks, I have a question for you. Who was your FAVORITE character. It may seem like a simple question, but lets give this some thought shall we? First we have Lindsay the well-mannered, wonderfully naive, want-to-be-freak who stutters when she's nervous or unsure. Then there's Sam the short, geeky, race car fanatic dying to win over Cindy Sanders. Nick- stoner, romantic, absolutely hilarious. Kim Kelly- snobby, rude, bitchy, wasn't hugged enough as a child. The cast list goes on and on.

Perhaps it's not the characters, but how the actors are so compatible. Recently, there have been an overwhelming amount of new movies with two or more of the fictional Lincoln High School graduates. Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshal, and hopefully more will be coming soon.

Back with Biscotti

Hello. As lovely as Italy was, I am so glad to be home and be able to sit in my air conditioned attic, eat chocolate pudding and have a Gilmore Girl marathon with myself/my cousin. When Lorelei and Rory arrive home from Europe, they carry around a white bag of biscotti. When something fun happened, they would ask each other, "Biscotti moment?," reach in the bag and have a snack. Now having journeyed to the land of biscotti, I ask myself: how could I not have had biscotti moments there? Well, I did. And for your fun, I documented them to compare to the Gilmore's'.

needs a bath.

Ciao for Now

All right, so until July 20, I'm going to be in Italy. Perhaps when in the Vatican I will have the conveniently opportune moment to touch the Pope's car as Lorelei Gilmore legendarily did. It certainly will make for a nice anecdote! Speaking of Gilmore Girls, my cousin and I have been ploughing through season 4 for the past couple days. She was not much of a fan at all...but season 4 has turned her into one. If anyone is looking to find a new anti-drug while I'm gone, Gilmore Girls would be an easy way to go. My suggestion is (unless you really get seriously hooked) leave the seasons 6 and 7 alone. The new writer for the later years was not quite as witty and hilarious. I'm off to go watch the last 9 episodes. Ciao bella!
