At this point, no one is complaining about lockdown. We’re handling delayed Amazon deliveries with ease, we’re cleaning up after ourselves, we have at least three video conferencing apps downloaded on our phones. We’re no longer using this time indoors to write our next book, or work on that project we’ve been putting off. We’re… Continue reading An ode to late nights
What else are you supposed to do in the middle of the apocalypse but reminisce over some of the most random details from your past, amirite? Right smack in the middle of an important assignment, I was hit by a sudden wave of nostalgia from the time I lived in the US – four years… Continue reading Pies, fries, and confessions for you guys
I didn’t watch a lot of TV growing up. I read a lot of Enid Blyton, and tried to turn my study corner into a Faraway Tree shrine. As an adult, I’ve discarded one of those two habits. So here I am, with some spare time and a gaping hole in my life where a… Continue reading Gilmore Girls – Unpopular Opinion #7: The Stupid Questions Edition
Suitcases and shopping carts She’s been counting down since the beginning of the month. It’s been an agonizing few weeks of submitting papers and clocking in last-minute work obligations, and she can’t wait one more second. Her suitcases are lying open on the floor – half packed – with over a week to go. Not… Continue reading Home for the holidays: A story in five parts
Rory’s high school to college transition is the only thing about her I can relate to. I don’t think she peaked in high school, I think she just discovered the bottomless pool of distractions that is college life. When I was in school, I woke up before 7 every morning and exercised (even though I… Continue reading Gilmore Girls – Unpopular Opinion #6: Relatable Rory?!
So far, you’ve dealt with just one terrible opinion at a time. You thought things were easy. What a shock for you. I have now decided it’s time to pelt you with take after take. Mostly because I take pleasure in your pain but also because these are way too short to have their own… Continue reading Gilmore Girls – Unpopular Opinion #5: Mini Rants
Did Luke and Lorelai have anything in common? Let’s see. He was the only person on the show with any sense of financial responsibility. She lived in a mansion and couldn’t upgrade her lumpy couch. He served unhealthy food while constantly growling about how his unhealthy food will kill you. She inhaled coffee and exhaled… Continue reading Gilmore Girls – Unpopular Opinion #4: Luke and NO-relai (sorry)
I obviously don’t push every person in my life to marry early. If you’re 22 and single, please focus on your career. If you’re 22 and in a relationship you’re not sure about, please focus on your career. But if you’re at a crossroads in your career and are in a stable, loving relationship, why… Continue reading Gilmore Girls – Unpopular Opinion #3: Rory should’ve married Logan
Mitchum Huntzberger was not very nice to Logan but he was perfectly polite to Rory when the rest of the family insulted her. He did not deserve to be written as a villain. Did he mock Rory in front of the staff? Did he make up vague reasons when he told her she didn’t have… Continue reading Gilmore Girls – Unpopular Opinion #2: Justice for Mitchum Huntzberger
Look, there’s really no good way for me to start this series. I didn’t grow up watching TV, so I didn’t know Gilmore Girls existed until the show came to Netflix in 2014. And I have nothing to show for the last five years other than stories of how much Gilmore Girls I watched and… Continue reading Gilmore Girls – Unpopular Opinions
