Since Bermuda is a British territory (and I already started the tradition of saying "bye" in the languages of the places I'm going. Once DOES make a tradition. SHUT IT!), I'm saying "cheers!" to all my loyal, gorgeous, brilliant readers. At this time on Sunday, I'll be setting sail to the pristine pink sand beaches of Bermuda. As of Friday afternoon, I did not complete Swann's Way. If I finish it before Saturday evening, I will post the review. But, as is normal, I still

I'm both excited and nervous about our next book. Only because Rory Gilmore, herself, said it took her forever to read. Our first book in S1:E11 is... Swann's Way by Marcel Proust (Unfortunately, I'm not reading a gorgeous leather-bound volume borrowed from Max Medina. But it wasfree on the Kindle!) #marcelproust #swannsway

Baby Girl Jesus never did locate her missing arm. Lorelai invited Narcolepsy Boy to use the front door. Richard almost ruined Christmas (jerk). Lorelai made the mistake of telling Luke that he "always looks good". As the giant man-turned-beetle exits stage right, we finish Forgiveness and Stuff. And as Lorelai tells us what "Marcel Proust would say...", we begin Paris is Burning. In episode 11, let's just say that Lorelai is rather busy... she gets nervous about Rory's
