OMFG

How good was MM? Ladies, I cannot wait for next season. seriously.

catching up on tee vee

so i finally got to catch up on gg and mm. ( i have unfortunately caught laryngitis and don't feel like leaving this house so it was the perfect time to watch my itunes.) in terms of gg, loved the shout-out to the hotness of stephen on the tudors. had to giggle at that one. but, why were they so obsessed with yale? i felt that yale must have paid them to feature the campus.
now on to mad men. when i saw the title of the episode, i couldn't wait to see if it would feature our favorite norwegian composer. and it did. was minorly disappointed that they felt the need to dialogue about it. as we well know from the wash post article, the average mad men viewer is part of that dreaded "intellectual elite" who has undue influence over our cultural sensibilities and should have a basic knowledge of classical music. (ps obama tries to watch mad men despite his hectic schedule!)
what say you, mes soeurs?

The political atmosphere


has made me nostalgic for the early years of West Wing and because Borders is having a buy two get one free sale for DVDs, I went and got the first three seasons. Oh West Wing. Why is television not this smart anymore?

I brought my new baby home today...



Isn't she adorable? So thin! So shiny! So full of available memory! I'm in heaven!

Angie is so great



Love her foundation work. Love that she is working to take care of the children of undocumented workers here in the US.
