Oh 2016…

It's been a rough year for many folks: lots of celebrity deaths that impacted people particularly hard, lots of negativity across the American political spectrum, lots of negative news stories, lots of hardship economically and otherwise. Some have cried out about how horrible 2016 is as a year. And I hesitate to paint the entire… Continue reading Oh 2016…

More Gilmore Girls thoughts (though this time reflecting more on A Year in the Life)

Still no overt spoilers though I might recommend watching the revival before reading on, it's not necessary, but it might help. I'll type a bit about the emotions that the show has for me. I think part of why this show is so influential to me is that Rory's character is so close to my… Continue reading More Gilmore Girls thoughts (though this time reflecting more on A Year in the Life)
