I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Somehow? Gilmore Girls is the best thing you can ask for.

Actually im not sure you deserve it.

It's definitely old-school episodes television, which isn't something I'm typically interested in. But there's something about it...the Aaron Sorkin-esque cadence to the dialogue without the Sorkin-esque preachiness; the idea of a small town populated entirely by really strong, albeit one-dimensional characters; plus a really hot MILF in the leading role.

I had to Google what this means but I agree.

I was hesitant about mentioning how disappointing I thought the new episodes were to my wife in case she was really into them and I harshed her buzz but I was relieved to find out she felt exactly the same.

do you normally live in fear of your wife's emotions?

We are five eps in and no tears yet.
