Binge-watch Weekend Recommendation: Gilmore Girls

Happy Friday! It's almost the weekend. For some of you that may mean going out and spending zillions of your hard earned cash on going out. First, there's dinner, then drinks and that thing called socializing which now means getting together and staring at your phones on social media. Unless you're a hermit like myself. The weekends are for some serious Netflix binge-watching. It's not my fault, really. I mean, why would someone just give me access to every season of every awesome show ever for nine bucks a month? This has inspired a new weekly recommendation post. While I do jump back and forth from show to show, my current favorite is Gilmore Girls, thus beating out for the first spot.



The damn thing has 4 and a half stars! The show is about a mother and daughter and their sometimes crazy, sometimes boring life and tendencies. It's set in a small Connecticut town, where absolutely no crime happens, everybody knows every other body, and no one has any filter. When the show was originally aired, I would catch an episode now and again, which never allowed me the time to appreciate it. I'm not sure why, because seemingly nothing happens from show to show. I can attest to the brilliant writing, however. The references are at times over my head sometimes, or I have to stretch my brain way back to what was going on in current events back then. I'm currently somewhere in the middle of Season 5 of 7. (Although, don't hold your breath, because I zip through those suckers at times.) Something happens at the end of Season 4 that kept me quite intrigued. Somehow, Rory has become the annoying one, and Lorelai is the sane mother! We'll see how long it lasts though. So, if you're low on plans or have an extra 4 hours to stare at a TV screen instead of your phone screen, check it out. By the way, anyone know how to get Netflix to stop judging you and asking if you're still watching and just autoplay your show? Much appreciated.

8 Most Annoying Christmas Songs

True, all christmas songs can be annoying, especially when overplayed or played too early. But here are the ones that really take the cake when it comes to sickeningly annoying. 8) Mary, Did You Know? by Clay Aiken Um, hello ? I think she knew something was up due to the whole virgin thing . 7) Suzy Snowflake by Rosemary Clooney Everyone wants Suzy Snowflake until they have to drive in it. Go away. 6) All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth by Spike Jones That's not how you talk! You're faking it! 5) Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays by NSync Maybe I just listened to it too much in my pre-teen years. 4) I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas by Gayla Peevey Hippoptamuseseses? That's not a word ! My ears are bleeding. 3) Christmas Shoes by Newsong.   Cue the tears. Christmas is not sad. 2) Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer by Dr. Elmo Good. 1) Dominic the Donkey by Lou Monte. Hee haw hee haw. Why?! Get out of my head!!!...

5 Top Christmas Movies

I love Christmas movies. Probably more than the normal amount. Every year there a few that i can't wait to watch. Here's a list of my top five favorites. 5.) Home Alone Gotta love a kid that thinks he made his family disappear, then realizes that's all he wants for Christmas. And Buzz... 4.) A Christmas Story Set in the good ole 1940's, this movie brings you back to a time when you got soap in your mouth for swearing and all a kid wanted was an official Red Ryder BB rifle. It's also hilariously ironic without trying. Who can't remember when dear mom would dress you like this for your own good? 3.) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation You gotta admire Clark Griswold's tenacity of trying to give his family the best for the holiday season. It's not his fault that every time he tries, some hilarious disaster ensues. Plus, you know this is how you feel when you get your Christmas bonus. 2.) Elf Made in 2003, at...
