Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

Netflix releases four official teaser posters for the Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life out November 25th.

It's been ten years since the original series' run came to an end leaving fans wanting more. Here's what we know about the upcoming revival:

  • Luke and Lorelai are (still) together
  • Rory's career is going through a rough patch
  • Emily and the family are dealing with the loss of Richard
  • Original cast members Alexis Bledel (Rory), Lauren Graham (Lorelai), Scott Patterson (Luke), Kelly Bishop (Emily), Keiko Agena (Lane), Yanic Truesdale (Michel), Melissa McCarthey (Sookie), Sean Gunn (Kirk), Liza Weil (Paris), Danny Strong (Doyle), Matt Czuchry (Logan), Jared Padalicki (Dean) and Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) will be featured.

Scott Patterson dished on Luke and Lorelai's relationship, saying:

What I can tell you is that we are together and we are figuring out our next move. There are definitely some fireworks there. We did some really intense adult scenes. Since the movies are only an hour and a half long it has way more detail and the writing is deeper and seems longer so it sort of changed. Fans are not expecting this, but it’s more a film now than it is a TV show.”

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will feature four 90 minute installments coming to Netflix Friday, November 25th.

Received a heartwarming letter today.

Ryan and I have been downsizing with the upcoming move. He's been selling a lot of stuff on Kijiji. Today, he received a really awesome piece of mail from someone who'd purchased a table & chair set. 

Human decency, FTW! 

As a show of appreciation, we sent a Thank You card with $52. This was truly unexpected and very, very heartwarming.  

Thought I'd share.

We GOTTA move - we're building THIS:

We're building our dream home! There's only one problem: we've gotta tear down the one we live in first.

Massive shout out to PLOT NON PLOT for helping us build our dream home. Construction begins next spring with a March 2017 demolition date. Pictured below is a rendering of the final product (two 3 story semis in Ottawa's hottest neighbourhood). We will be keeping the left side and selling or renting the right. Expected date of completion will be Winter, 2017.

We are currently looking for a house, condo or apartment rental (December 2016-December 2017) in the Hintonburg area.

Search criteria:
- 2bdrm (+)
- in suite laundry
- 2 parking spaces
- accessible (ie. not a 3 story walk-up)
- Hintonburg/Westboro/Little Italy area
- unfurnished

If you know of a place we can temporarily call home for the next year, please contact me.
