Basic thoughts: Grandpa Gene is the best. Seriously. That German WWI helmet was boss. Shut up, Don! So what if it's a dead man's hat. It's a dead WWI German's hat! That's frickin' cool!!!

Mad Men Mondays: Episode 3.2 "Love Among the Ruins"
I don't think I'm smart enough for this show sometimes. I've watched this episode twice and I'm still not sure what was happening in some of the scenes. Also, I'm not sure how I should be reacting to what some of the characters are doing.
Why was Don fondling the grass during the May Pole dance?
What was that long look that Don gave Peggy while she was in her office on the typewriter at the end of the episode?
What was the thematic connection between the different plot lines (the Madison Square Garden storyline, the Peggy hates Ann Margaret storyline, and the Betty vs William dutiful children of senile father storyline)?
I'm so confused!!!! Waaaaah!

(not) drunk (enough?)
this could get ugly.
spelling is not my strong suit, so...... be ware. be warned.
Rock 'n' roll is better than books. Hot dogs are better than chicken. Rita Hayworth is better than everybody.

I want a sammich. A roast beef, corned beef, ham, italian salami, turkey with bacon sammich. MMMMMMMMMM, sammiches is gewd.
Punk rock is your god. Listen to the ramones your cretins! I don't know why i'm telling you this, nobody listens to good music anymore.

Now for something serious: Is it just me or does it feel like life is entering a fog? The world is entering a strange confusion; there's something in the air and it aint mint flavored. It's egg sauce and sulfer; it's fire and burnt pizza. It's stale beer and lost youth. Or maybe I'm just cold from the august weather being 500 degrees below average!!!!! Seriously, Al Gore, go eff yourself! Global warming?! It's colder than I can ever remember!!!!!!
I want more. That's all I can think to say.

Mad Men Monday: Episode 3.1 "Out of Town"
For season three of Mad Men, "Change" seems to be the watchword, but I think a better word might be "Upheaval." Change is too positive, it's too nice. Change makes me think of "new" and "forward" and "frontiers" -- it can be a frightening word, but that fear is often tempered by anticipation and promise. The world is changing: that is both an unsettling and an exhilarating thought.
It's the old adage: "Change can be good." But for my money, the change I feel coming for the guys and gals at Sterling Cooper does not look good. The changes coming, the ones that seem to be edging closer the further we move into the 60s, are not full of promise and forward momentum and the dawn of a new age. The changes coming are going to shatter things; the changes coming are going to destroy institutions. Some people say, let those institutions burn, but I'm not willing to jump onto the youth rebellion, or start banging my drum for the impending revolution just yet. What's coming over the horizon is a devolution. Adulthood will be shattered. The Hollywood studios will crumble. Fashion will tumble into oblivion. Don Draper will eventually meet the 1970s and that's too depressing a thought for words.
