And A Girlfriend in a Pear Tree : Joyce has taken a trip to the
Amazon, where she harvested an entire rainforest and stuck it in a giant
vase to bring back to L.A. for her lady-love. Luckily, Phyllis loves
endangered natural resources. When Haviland's show opened ( Les Miserables )
I sent her a lemon tree with a fake stalker love note. Haviland picture
moment:

Carly : Aw, Jane Lynch. THE LYNCH.
Alex : That tie is ruining my life.
Carly : Jane Lynch can do no wrong. She's fabulous.

Lesbian Squabble #4: I Won't Be Left Dancing Alone To Songs From The Past
In the Ring: Phyllis and Joyce
Content/Result: Phyllis says it was nice of Joyce to ask her to move
in with her -- and Joyce remarks how cute it was when Phyllis employed the
revolutionary dialogue about the U-Haul. It was so nice that she'll never
forget it. Never say never, Joyce.
------------------------------------------------------------
Carly: "Did you get that joke from another lesbian? Have you been
communicating with other lesbians?"
Riese: "That is the first joke ever in the history of lesbian jokes.*
Before U-Hauls were invented, it was like ... the wagon."
Carly : "You wanna horse-and-buggie it with me?"
Riese : "Get on the Oregon Trail! "
------------------------------------------------------------
(*Update: Since the viewing and the moment when I said what I said up there,
I've now listened to the Planet Cast and they make a similar joke about this
being the first lesbian joke ever. They made it first, I mean,
chronologically, though I was unawares. Mostly, I just wanted to note that
here so that I could advance myself from this recap and into my favorite
area, "META," where meta means whatever I want it to, like how you probs do
with the word "ironic." You should
listen to them,
obvs , as they are amazing.)
Content/Result Ctd. : Joyce says she's fine with Phyllis needing more
time to decide, but Phyllis misinterprets this as permission to see other
people, which Joyce's actually not okay with. Phyllis says she told Camilla
they have to wait -- Joyce is all HOLD UP whaa? "Camilla's a FRIEND!" Joyce
argues, but Phyllis is like "girl, she is NOT your friend, don't play me
like that," and Joyce is like "well, she be friends wit my friends," and
then they yell some more, and Joyce says she's being rash, and she'll give
her time to think about it before Phyllis does something she'll regret. It's
pretty transparent. And The Winner Is ... : Phyllis.

It's A Small World After All : Kit and Max are forcing Jenny to
listen to Adele talk about her life and her Mom. They ask Adele why she
chose the University of Central Florida and why she chose Orlando and after
a quiet but brilliant moment where Jenny says, quietly, "Because she loves
Disneyworld," Adele explains that it's the only school in Orlando that
offers Women's Studies and Film AND she needed to take care of her mother
who had a nervous breakdown and it was terrible, just terrible.
------------------------------------------------------------
Carly : "Because it's the only school in Orlando, period! I can't
believe she went to UCF 'cause of the Women's Studies and the Film Program.
The Film program is a joke, the women's studies program is a certificate
program! It's a certificate! It's not even a degree! I am so upset right
now."
------------------------------------------------------------

Your Life is Hype, Your Love is Hype : Adele adds that she turned
down an NYU scholarship to take care of her mother. That's too bad, 'cause
clearly she's sacrificed both the opp of living near ME and her sanity,
because if she was sane, she would not believe that Jenny Schecter is a real
writer. Also, those glasses, did they steal those from "Ugly Duckling
Pre-Swan" Central Casting Costume Department? Anyhow, this is lovely. I like
Kit in this context, and Max ... omg, almost bearable!! Kit's like, "Isn't
that nice, Jenny?" (re: Adele reading her book five times) Adele reveals her
true dedication when she says she came to the Planet 'cause she heard it was
the inspiration for the Pluto Cafe. Man, she'll really die when she meets
Nina and Bev! It'll be like Nurse Betty .
