Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Our wings are not tired.

Own your own town for $1.75 million.

Looks like a good deal. Not quite right for Buffistaville though. Buffista Island a better plan.

Yikes I looked at the pictures of the Tram stranded people [link] and really there is not a chance that would ever happen to me because there is no way I would ever get on a Tram like that. I'd swim the East River first.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Perkins, I hope your stomach shapes up and quickly.

I'm slightly dizzy this morning, but not enough, I think, to stop me from driving in an hour or so.

Sue, I thought the wedding was very sweet, although I wish they'd explained what the argument with the grandmother was --it was obviously predictable to the characters, but I felt like I missed something. There was also minimal use of the townspeople considering, but I really missed the hot boys and hated the oh-so-predictable outburst of Lorelai's poorly managed resentment. And what set her off seemed so minor, all told.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Of course, a civil war or two in the next couple of years might change the calculus somewhat.

I'd argue that there's been a cold civil war going on for a good 15 years or more. At minimum, since Buchanan's speech at the 1992 Republican convention.

hip deep in pie

ita, I had actually had the TV on mute during Lorelai's outburst, (My sister called) so it didn't really register with me, even though I could totally see what was happening, even with the show muted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Perkins, I hope you're feeling better, and/or taking a sick day today. Sick is sick!

Art Crawl!!!

I hated Loreilai's drunken speech at the end - but there was much to love in this episode. I wondered whether the untranslated Korean was thanks to Lost ?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

US map of religiosity

eta: There's a big mess of religiosity in Texas, and another big one in Minnesota/Iowa/N & S Dakota. Huh.
