The bad thing about watching so many "Gilmore Girls" reruns on UP is that I end up screaming "Oh my GOSH, shut UP!!" at the awful commercials for awful, awful, awful reality shows. At least 99 percent of reality shows are awful, but the "wholesome" reality shows are a special brand of awful. I swear I'd rather put up with ads for the Kardashians than for the Bateses and that sheriff that never stops talking at the top of his lungs.

I hope everyone had a nice day!

And for those of you who celebrate it, a very happy Gilmore Girls Revival Day tomorrow. :-) I can't believe I'm nervous about it. About a TV show! I won't say what I'd like to happen, or what I'd like not to happen, because I've already been through enough Gilmore Girls-related online debates and don't have energy left for any more. I just hope all my favorite characters end up in a good place!

If you happen to find yourself on a TV show created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, you might have one or more of the following problems.

• Your parents ask you whether they look fat, and if they bought you a car, you have to actually look and answer them.
• Your grandfather wants you to read the paper to him, and he gets upset if you don't get to Gail Collins before he falls asleep.
• There are no 24-hour tent companies. Also, the best Buddhist mariachi band is always on tour when you need them.
• You can't bring yourself to say someone's dead, and no matter how hard you try, you can't manage to make a face that effectively conveys the message.
• You have a name like Boo, Truly, or Hubbell.
• Old guys you've never met ask you to walk their dogs.

Oh, and then there's that whole thing where you marry a guy you barely know while drunk, and then you find out he lives with his mother, and then he dies in a car accident almost as soon as you get to his home.

On the plus side, though, you and your friends can choreograph, rehearse, and present an original ballet in a single evening.

I liked Gilmore Girls pretty well, and I'm liking Bunheads pretty well, but honestly, this woman's characters lead seriously whacked-out lives.

(ETA: In real life, you might have a problem like your bullet points refusing to behave themselves. Sorry for the messed-up formatting.)
