Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think the problem with typical textbook word problems is that they aren't real-world ENOUGH. The ones in my stats text book were just right -- because it was a book for social science students, the illustrations were numbers I'd really be looking at in real life, not trains passing in Iowa or whatever.
That's what I loved about stats.
and no one acted like a moron.
Weeeelllll, no one except Lorelei. Her total meltdown was worthy of a five year old. Get a grip, woman.
No, honey, nice try. Logan Huntzberger belongs to me!
GC, I thought her meltdown was no more insane or moronic that people I've known and kept respecting. In fact, less than some. I was sympathetic, while praying that I'd never act that way.
I don't think so, GC. It felt very real to me, and Lauren Graham acted the hell out of it. It's the pain of realizing you fucked up something that could have been wonderful with one stupid stupid mistake. I know it.

Word. I've had that meltdown at least once. But maybe I'm just a moron.
Now, don't get me wrong. I understand crying and being upset and making silly phone calls. What I don't get is a 36 year old woman not showing up for work, not answering her phone, and all that mess. That part just didn't ring true to me. But I did like the ep.
I bought the mental health day -- not just from her, but in general. In fact, as normally written, I was expecting something way OTT. And was delighted not to get it.
And in reality, I barely answer my phone even when I'm not broken and depressed. So that doesn't bother me in the least, because in the state she was in, it makes perfect sense to me, wanting to just hide. Because it wasn't just him, but also knowing that the whole town is going around, dividing itself and discussing, which makes sense given the town but would be hide-in-the-cabinet awful.
But calling in sick is the way to do that. Not leaving your business partners high and dry. Not to mention that she made Sookie worry. That's childish.
