Two Little Things
1. Missing the old Gilmore Girls writers:
“Are you sure you don’t want some tea? Tea usually makes things like this a little less awkward. There are things to hold and stir.”
2. A bit of lovely out of Blogher: Remedies for Small Blogger Blues
Oh yes, I do very much miss the old GG writers. Never have so many cultural references been contained in 46 minutes and left me laughing so hard.
“You lost me at carrots, which was the first draft of ‘you had me at hello’.”
Oh, Gilmore Girls, how I miss you. I spent a good hour falling asleep to old episodes just last night.
(Stumbled on here a bit ago. Lovely site.)
Miss GG too!
Thank you for linking to that list. As a bone fide small blogger those tips really do help! This one is my favorite: “Take this feeling that you have about being discouraged or not “not mattering†and take it as a cue that you need to reach out to others who are feeling the same.” I think that I have been aware of that necessity but never thought about it on that level. Thanks again!
PS Your baby is cute.
I miss GG, too. But even more, I’m still DEEPLY UPSET about Veronica Mars’s cancellation.
Missing the GG like the *enter lame cliche here*. They were the best.
I can only hope that the boneheads who fired the Palladinos are kicking themselves in the butt over such a stupid move. The whole show just lost its way after they left.
I totally needed to read that “Remedies” list today. Thanks! Love your site. Jules

Agreed. Missing Gilmore Girls in general is one thing, but had it not been for the new writers, I’m sure we’d have squeezed another season out of them.
I stopped watching Gilmore Girls after ASP left because it was just so awful.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch seasons 1-5 on DVD and cry myself to sleep.
Wow, first time on your site and you have a GG reference. I think I heart you very, very much already.
I so miss that show. It was brilliant and I could watch it with my teenage daughter and we both *got* it. That, like, never happens.
Great site!
Is THAT what happened to our Girls? I didn’t know about the Palladino saga. Big mistake. Big, big mistake. That explains everything about the shortcomings of the last season.
*sigh* I watch reruns on ABC Family every evening at 5 while I give my baby (her name is Maggie, btw!) her dinner-bottle. I swear she watches it with me; even at 4 months, she totally gets the pop-culture reference and quick-witted humor. The Palladinos were geniuses. Unlike the morons that let them go.
I don’t understand how they can cancel a great show like GG, but keep crappy reality shows on the air. Who watches this stuff?
I heard they left to write a new show. I was an avid viewer of G.G. and stopped watching when the new/leftover writer repeated a plot point for the second time. (It was not the last either.)
Anyway, I love this website so much! Thank you for writing!
I needed small blogger blues remedies today – I got your book and between the two I am feeling all “I am blogger, hear me roar!”.
Love, love, love the Gilmore Girls. There were so many moments of perfection in that show. I’m really going to miss that snappy writing this fall. SAD is me.
Thanks for the small blogger link… I was actually feeling small this morning, but I’m not now!
Someone else linked the small blogger link recently and as a small blogger, I definitely should read it…of course when I have the time. Sheesh. And eventually, I do want to buy your book!
Most excellent, a GG lament AND info for small bloggers.
I still get that dizzy, angry feeling when I think about ASP leaving. It deserved to be canceled after that last season – what a stinker.
Bossy hearts her audience of One, Bossy hearts her audience of One…
Oooh Gilmore. How I miss you.
Nice link, thanks!
Just discovered this site and love it already. Have you seen the GG seven seasons box set?

Beeyootiful.
Great link and advice. Why do we blog if not first for ourselves? Thanks as always, Maggie.
UNCANNY! I just watched the episode with that tea quote yesterday – I’ve been on a missing-the-Gilmore Girls-kick for the past couple of days, and watching lotsnlots of the 2nd season dvds. I KNOW I’m going to miss them EVEN MORE come autumn – Stars Hollow was always extra pretty in the fall. Suki was always putting soup in hollowed out lil punkins and stuff. And Lorelai and Rory’s clothes were extra faboo. DAaaaANG, oh why???
*snif!*
No need to fret, ASP has a new sitcom starring Parker Posey…..

I miss the first 3 or so seasons of Gilmore Girls.
“I have hit a level of perfection that has rarely been seen outside the Victoria’s Secret catalog.”
should i be ashamed to admit that I have the first couple seasons on DVD? It was a joke-gift from my sister that I find myself breaking out when I am home alone with the sniffles.
i miss lorelai and rory.
“oy with the poodles already!”
