Gilmore Girls, Laundry, and Max Montoya

Today was a very lazy day of sorts. I got up, cleaned house, did laundry, made it to the gym, etc.

I spent a bit of time watching DVD's, my favorite episode of Gilmore Girls from last season. It's called "The Reigning Lorelai," where Lorelai's acid-tongued grandmother, played wonderfully by Marion Ross, passes away. Lorelai and her mother Emily are inventoring Grams' house and find a letter she had written to Emily's husband begging him to leave Emily at the alter. While it sounds incredibly depressing, the story is actually very humorous seeing how each family member deals with the situation. Emily gets livid, starts drinking and smoking in her robe, and refuses to help plan the funeral. Richard is naturally a mess. Lorelai has to plan everything, finally blowing up at a poor salesgirl while trying to buy underwear for her dead grandmother, and Rory writes up the obit. It was incredibly well done, very poignant and very funny. I do love the show.

While watching TV today I finally managed to snag a photo of Max Montoya, the former Cincinnati Bengal who now does television spots for Remke Markets, a local grocery chain. I saw him for the first time a few months ago and thought, "Damn, that's a fine looking daddy bear." With his graying hair and big shoulders, I was drooling. I tried to find a current photo of him on the net without success, so I finally got a picture of him to share.

Seeing the picture makes me think that I should invest in a flat screen TV sometime. :)

Grins - wouldn't a 3-D one be better *wink*?

If you have a way to play DVD's on th computer, Power DVD and other DVD player software should allow you to snag stills directly from the disc and save to the HD. Try that.

Otherwise, he's quite the good lookin' graying daddy bear I would agree.

I need to buy some rewriteable DVD's I guess :)

EXACTLY!

Do you have that episode taped, or saved, or whatever? Last season isn't out on DVD already is it? (Opening new window and heading to Amazon.com!) I've only seen a couple from last season and I'm itching for the new set! It's such a great show. I gave up watching it in German, it doesn't have the same cadence (although it has it's own unique brand of amusement ... watching Emily in German is ... strangely fitting). ;)

I feel so sorry for you over that on some occasions, like this. This episode is from the fourth season, which is out on DVD.

And I agree Emily in German would be oddly appropriate! :D

Ah, ok. I recently found the fourth season, but I haven't watched it yet. Soon though!

There are some good episodes in it. I think some fans didn't like it because there wasn't as much Lorelai-Rory interaction, but I think they did a great job.
