rachg82Today's been a good day overall, I have to say. I didn't have to go to work, I continued my marathon with Gilmore Girls & Buffy (I decided to leave X-Files & Bones for last), and this evening I made a batch of the best cookies in the history of the world (peanut butter cookies with reeces peanut butter cups stuck inside). Seriously, I know I'm prone to hyperbole and all, but they are freaking ridonkulously good. It was really funny too, because I NEVER bake anything from scratch, like ever, so when I told my mom what I was doing over the phone, her response was all "by yourself?" With this like ~concerned tone~. Haha. I was like "I'll be okay, I promise."
I had a funny trip to the store too. First off, I got hollared at on my way home, which made no sense at all because A. I didn't even take a shower today and I just had my hair thrown up in a messy ponytail, and B. I had nothing even remotely approaching sexy on as I was all bundled up against the cold. And yet I got the drive-by action anyway, plus this super entertaining exchange with the cashier before I left:
Cashier: How old are you?
Me: *eyes him* Why?
Cashier: Well, 'cause I can't really tell, I was just curious, and uh. . .
Me: 27. How old are you?
Cashier: 19.
Me: Good to know.
Cashier: I just wanted to know, 'cause like, you never know when you might need that info.
Me: Uh-huh
Cashier: There might be some life or death situation or something.
Me: Right
Cashier: Like, what if you were being mugged out in the parking lot, and the guy was like "I need to know how old you are or else!" I could help!
Me: Well, if that happens I'll think of you.
Cashier: Yeah, yeah. Well, um, Merry Christmas!
Hahahaha. Most random moment of random ever. WAY TO HIT ON A WOMAN BY ASKING THEM THEIR AGE, DUDE. NOT SO SUAVE. But, hey, you gotta hand it to him with the save there. What if you were being mugged! Hee. The person standing behind me in line was just like "WTF?"
Anyway, so that was my day. Now I'm gonna mix up a mug of hot chocolate & then get my little butt to bed (my family isn't getting together until early afternoon tomorrow, hence why I'm not in bed already). Before I do that though, I felt inspired to share a few of my favorite moments & lines from the episodes I already watched today (and of course there'll be a Vid of the Day as well, this time one for each show because I like to spoil you all like that).
Buffy:
Like I said in my last post, this isn't actually one of my favorite episodes of the whole show, but it is one I enjoyed enough to include in my marathon and here's why:
1. Getting into the Hanukkah spirit:
Buffy: So what are you doing on Christmas?
Willow: Being JEWISH, remember? Not everyone worships Santa!
2. Awkward Mom Moments:
Buffy: Why don't we invite Giles?
Joyce: No!
Heeee. Remember that time when Joyce & Giles became teenagers again & totally had sex on a cop's car? I do.
3. Xander and his sleeping bag. Aw, Xander, I feel ya on the family drama. Come on over to my place. We'll make s'mores.
4. Badass!Giles:
Angel: I can't come in unless I'm invited. . .
Giles: I know. *pulls out crossbow* Come in.
5. Buffy & Faith.
Need I say more? Their mere presence together in any episode makes it better. But if you want more than that, here you go: First Buffy invites Faith over for Christmas and compliments her lights (why is that so sweet to me? I don't know, it just is), and even though Faith at first declines the offer because she has to play all hard-to-get, she later shows up on Buffy's doorstep looking all shy & adorable & happy to see her, and she brings presents, and does this sort of wistful staring after Buffy when she walks away (what, she does! Heh). Aaand she tells her to watch her back when Buffy has to leave to go after Angel! Awww, I love it so much when they're getting along & not trying to kill each other! Hee. (Okay, so I also love them when they *are* trying to kill each other, but that's neither here nor there.)
6. And, lest we forget what a total shipper-whore I am when it comes to this show: Angel & Buffy and their hot!dream!sexing! Except then they get interrupted by that stupid eyeless Bringer. Man, talk about a cockblocker, am I right?
Also, can we please take a moment to discuss the repressed hotness of the scene where Angel's in her bedroom and going all crazypants over how badly he wants her? AND THEN THROWS HIMSELF OUT THE WINDOW? Like, dude, you could just take a cold shower. I'm just saying. Heh.
7. Jenny's back:
I don't even care that it's not really Jenny, and that it's really The First. We still got to see her again. And in my favorite Jenny-outfit no less! I'll take it.
8. Xander putting aside his jealousy & helping Buffy help Angel. Aww, Xander. *hearts*
9. Willy! (I love Willy) And Xander trying to be all smooth! "Let me take a double shot of. . .of information, pal!" Haha.
10. Buffy puns. You can never have too many of them:
The First: *listing off all its menacing badass ways*
Buffy: OKAY, okay, I get it. You're EVIL. Do we have to chat about it?
. . .
The First: You have no idea what you're dealing with!
Buffy: Lemme guess, is it. . .evil?
(Hee. I love you Buffy.)
11. And finally, even though I think the scene between Angel & Buffy on the hillside is almost painfully melodramatic, you still can't deny the cuteness of them walking hand in hand through the miracle-snow. Totally makes up for the cheese.
Gilmore Girls:
You know, it's been so long since I sat down to watch this show, I'd almost forgotten how much I loved it. I know, I know, perish the thought. But actually it kind of works out, because it sort of allowed me to watch it through fresh eyes again since I'd forgotten certain jokes & moments, etc. So yeah, good times. And now, with that being said, back to the list--
1. So now we know how Emily ages so gracefully:
Rory: So you just wanna hold a grudge?
Lorelai: Yes, burns more calories.
Rory: That's not true.
Lorelai: Yes it is. How do you think Grandma got those legs of hers?
2. Appletart songs. We don't even get to hear them, but just the image in my mind is entertainment enough.
3. Pizza delivery boys on razor scooters. Oh, Stars Hollow. This is why I love you.
4. Protective!Luke:
Luke: Tell me you forbid her to see the bagboy.
Lorelai: I did not forbid her to see the bagboy.
Luke: Are you crazy?
Lorelai: Well, he looks like he's moving up to produce so he's suddenly become quite a catch.
5. Two words for you: SANTA BURGER. *points to icon*
6. Luke & Lorelai and the slowest truck known to man. "Bye Grandma!" Haha.
7. Emily = the voice of the people:
Emily: So what exactly is going on between you two?
Luke: What? Nothin'. We're just friends. That's it.
Emily: You're idiots.
8. Jane Lynch as the random nurse Emily goes all bitchface on. Hi there, Jane Lynch!
9. Luke & his hospital phobia. Hee.
10. "You know you always look good". . ."Stop staring at me."
11. "I don't want him to die". . ."Well, you tell him that when you see him, okay? People like to hear that."
I love Rory in this episode & how worried she is for her grandpa, and how she keeps trying to help. And I thought her reading the newspaper to him was particularly sweet.
12. "I demand to go first."
Aww, Richard & Emily! Stop trying to make me cry over here.
13. Nothing like a good ole Luke-Hug to make it all better:
Am I wrong or isn't this the first time we see them hug on the show? It is, right? Well, regardless of whether it is or not, it's completely sweet. I love how awkward Luke is patting her back. And talking about how handkerchiefs are revolting. Hee. (((Luke)))
14. Lorelai & her parents. They have so much beef between them that whenever they come even close to reconciling or getting along, my heart goes all squishy. For example: The look that passes between Lorelai & her dad after he wakes up? Squishy. Lorelai & her mom on their way to the cafeteria at the end? Squishy again.
15. THE BLUE BASEBALL CAP OF OTP GIFT-GIVING. Who needs diamonds or expensive ties when you've got baseball caps & Santa Burgers?
And I think that's about it for the day. As promised, here is your daily dose of vidspamming. To stay with the theme of this entry, we've got both a Gilmore Girls vid and a Buffy vid. It also fits the theme of the 2000-2009 Vidfest I started this week as I became a fan of both shows during that time frame. And both quite against my will I might add. Heh. I had an irrational bias against all things WB, you see, and it took a long time for others to convince me to give either show a chance. Then of course I fell in love with both. Heh. Figures.
This first vid (by LiiuChan) is for Buffy & it's a montage of funny moments from the show. It would've been the perfect vid to post back when I was doing my Halloween Marathon, what with all the Halloween clips and all. But hey, better late than never, right?
And finally, our last vid comes to you by javajunkiegg, and is another collection of funny moments (this time for Gilmore Girls, obviously). It doesn't include all my favorite moments--that'd be impossible with this show--but it does have some pretty good ones. "I can't just stand here & let the lactating continue!" Haha.
I had a funny trip to the store too. First off, I got hollared at on my way home, which made no sense at all because A. I didn't even take a shower today and I just had my hair thrown up in a messy ponytail, and B. I had nothing even remotely approaching sexy on as I was all bundled up against the cold.

Not because I don't want to admit how old I am, but because people always seem to think it's okay to ask short people they don't know all sorts of questions like "how old are you?", "how tall are you?", "is your whole family short?" So annoying!
