non-weekend update (no hipster glasses here)
My mom's neighbor just called and said she found the mailbox-killer note: "I guess one of my kids must have found it on the door" which means kids are not reliable messengers, I guess. Or else they gave it to their dad and he forgot about it, which sounds a lot like my dad, so I guess it's feasible. I would think the kids would have mentioned it, though, because after I gave the boy the note, he and his sister gathered around the mailbox to stare at it like I said I left some baby kittens inside to give it back some of the vitality I so wrongfully stole from it.
Anyway, she said she would have never noticed it was hit and thanked me for my honesty. So I guess that means I don't have to replace it? I'm not sure. She sounded nice enough, so I guess that's what she meant.
I almost forgot to squeal about "The Amazing Race" last night. Squee!, etc. I was talking to the tv the entire second half; I was so happy Uchenna and Joyce won. Rob and Amber would have been okay, but they don't really need another million, do they? (Apparently they think they do, judging by the whoring out of their wedding, but that's not really the point.) I think the moment when they won is one of my favorite good moments from any reality show. Aww, I almost cried.
My favorite bad reality tv moments mostly come from TAR, too: like the broken ox scene, the "you were a POW because you can't commit" scene.
Anyway, the TAR finale made up for another crappy Daniel Palladino-written "Gilmore Girls." Come on, a pregnancy scare that lasts two minutes? Sookie deciding for Jackson about getting snipped without any discussion whatsoever? Rory turning to a life of crime because she just can't handle constructive criticism? WHATEVER. I was talking to Amy about the episode last night and she told me about the Luke/Kirk battle, which I sadly missed. Or maybe not so sadly, since Kirk ends up being an asshole. We also debated who could be proposing next week. I hope Rory runs off with Logan and gets married in Vegas, that would kick ass. It would be totally out of character for her, but that wouldn't be anything new, so go with it.
