i've taken a deep breath and decided to stop watching jack & bobby, despite the extreme hotness that is jack. gah my blog doesn't highlight/underline links, so click on the word jack to see jack. oh no that picture's making me want to watch again. damnit. anyway, reason: it's a bit of an irritating show, not good enough for me to risk being arrested for downloading or whatever. if and when it comes to tv here i'll probably watch it. plus the latest episode that i downloaded, refuses to play video. it's just a green screen and audio. and i tried playing it on divx and it was supremely jerky. and then it led to a series of events that ended up in me no longer having divx player, something that does NOT make me happy. anyway, this cuts down the list of current shows to 4 - GG, Lost, Alias, The OC. Although shows with DVDs to acquire is 5 due to the Buffy.

Oh that reminds me, I think I pulled off something fairly ingenious yesterday. Remember my uncle who owes me a whole bunch of DVDs? Well it gets fairly pathetic when you're begging him every time you communicate with him, to give you your dvds, and obviously he's busy and everything. Plus my parents told me to stop bugging him, but a girl wants her DVDs right? Although my dad would've bought them for me.

So uncle dearest emailed me about something yesterday, and at the end of my reply, I said something like "Have you bought my dvds yet? Because if you haven't, Dad's going to the US soon and I was thinking I could just get him to buy them instead. Of course, if you have already bought them you could send them to Radhika's (my dad's cousin in California) place and he'll pick it up from her." And of course it's the regular old Guilt Trip, because my uncle obviously won't want me to feel like he isn't buying me the dvds after all and like I can't count on him and everything, so he immediately mailed me back that he'd send them to Radhika. Yay. So now I can have those DVDs AND more DVDs that I will make my dad buy for me.

Only shittiness is, my dad gets back from California on the 7th of November and I'm leaving for India on the 8th, because my mother wants a huge family reunion in Bangalore for Deepavali. In fact, just yesterday after Lit she called me up and tried to convince me that I had to leave on the 5th, and I refused partly due to PW being at that time, and partly due to 3 days less of boredom is 3 days less of boredom. If she can't get me a ticket on the 8th she can buy me one on Raffles Class or something. I don't care. And spending 5 weeks in India does NOT make me happy, because I will effectively be without DVD player and fast internet connection for more than a month. And my poor dvds will be sitting here WAITING for me. And no, i will NOT lend them out while i'm in another country dvd-less. I might just take them with me and hug them to sleep at night. Ok actually that's ridiculous, but right now possessive me says I won't lend my dvds out until I'm done with them. Pity I won't have them in time for the marathons next week etc. Here's wishing that I do actually get all the DVDs in the end. My dad -can- be unreliable, and my uncle: who knows, he might forget again. Although last year he did send my Alias set to Radhika which is why i'm counting on this working. My dad should travel to the US more. Don't know why there was so little of it this year. And Í can't believe I didn't make my mom buy a couple of DVD sets when she was shopping her ass off in San Francisco this April.

I have a disgusting ability to write paragraphs and paragraphs on the most inconsequential of issues (well ok they're not inconsequential to ME but definitely trivial in the grand scheme of things that include life, love, death and promotional exams.) ooooh nice phrase, 'life, love, death and promotional exams.'

Anyway, to things of greater consequence: I have thought up a couple of scenes to put in my all-time favourite Javajunkie list.

1. the dance at the end of Last Week Fights, This Week Tights. It puts a HUGE grin on my face, even huger than the grin on Lorelai's face. And the Lorelai-Lukeness in that episode is much better than in Written in the Stars. It's so incredibly sweet and sweeeeeeeeeet. That dance was a much better sort-of culmination of their relationship than the sex, IMO. Although Luke without a shirt is undoubtedly even hotter than Luke in a suit. HAHA. Oooh Luke-arms!

(However, the post-coital does not rank on this list because it made me pissed off about the lack of the pre-. As someone on TWoP said, how'd they get into bed? Did Lorelai say something sly about being "all in"? Did they finish eating or just run off and do the deed? Did they talk before doing it? I want to know, damnit! This is what we've been waiting for for more than FOUR YEARS, and the first damn conversation in the entire series was between these two. Can we have them talk a bit more? Serious, real talk. And some making out would be good too. Because the LL chemistry is fascinating and they could do SO MUCH with it and as Vaish pointed out Lorelai kissed hairy-chested MAX MEDINA more than she did Luke. And really, much as I hated the gross pink nipples on that guy, their post-coital was really much more heartfelt than -this-. Sorry, after reading Pamie's recap I'm thoroughly disgruntled with the handling of the Javajunkie. Get a grip, Palladinos!)

2. The flirting scene in Written in the Stars. "And tonight, I will give you my extremely positive views on other aspects of your being". And the way he drawls the "being" is sooooo sexy. Oh god I'm going to drool again. Or swoon. And Lorelai's "yeah!?"... "finally. Do it some more" is adorable! And her ASS. My god. Really. Those jeans really really were workin' for her.

3. The first KISS in Raincoats and Recipes. I rewatched it three times today, along with my gazillionth rewatching of the flirting scene. I have to go rent Some Kind of Wonderful now, to watch the date that became the longest joke in GG history. Oh the Lorelai falling all over the table at the beginning comes pretty close, but not big enough scene to rate a place on the list. I like how Luke just calmly said "I'll get a broom" though. Atleast he knows his Lorelai.

4. Wayy back in That Damn Donna Reed, the almost-kiss behind the counter in Luke's. The sacred Other Side of the counter. And the almost-kiss!

Ok, not really a couple, but let's pretend it's a couple in the American defition of the word. As in, a few. And there are more. And before I start listing every Luke Lorelai scene ever made, I will go off. HAHA "If I Could Write" just started playing on my windows media player. For all ignorant people, that's the Sam Phillips song at the end of the GG season 5 premiere and it's brilliant. Sam Phillips also sang "Reflecting Light" which is the soundtrack to no 1 there on my Javajunkie all-time favourites list.

Have I mentioned that I HATE fielding phone calls while my mother's out. That lady's got a lot of calls to return when she comes back. I've answered the phone about 5 times in the last ten minutes. All calls for her. Geez. Leaving now, leaving now!
