eyes don't betray me now

Mad Men continues to be amazing and it has seriously spoiled me. I did not see the cane slap coming. Pete has come a mighty long way, he's learned to look at the big picture. Trudy looked hilarious, I adore her. Honestly, even if the new agency goes down Peggy and Pete will be alright. I do hope Lane's gf comes back for later episodes.

The Event is not a bad show but I'm not that invested in the characters or the mystery.

Hawaii Five-0 is not trying to break out of any boxes but that's okay. It's enjoyable and it has DDK all on my tv screen so I'm not upset. It's not a show I'm going to go out my way to catch but if I'm awake I'll watch it.


Just finished World War Z and I completely loved it. There were some things that I didn't love but overall, a very successful book. Now I'm on my way to see what others had to say about it.


Yes I did keep up with soccer/football happenings this weekend: on Saturday after I looked up the scores because I couldn't watch the games and then I took deep breaths and wondered if it was possible to experience WTF blackouts. Ties, losses, omg I'm so glad I didn't skip out on plans to watch those games. But this week provides new chances and the only thing I can do is move on and look forward.

Shall I try predictions again? Will they also go horribly wrong?

Tuesday
I've got nothing! Seriously, the only thing I'm mostly certain of is a Chelsea win.

No plans for nano but they last time I had a plan and didn't finish so perhaps now the opposite will be true.

Mad Men continues to be amazing and it has seriously spoiled me.

This is my life right now. Season four has been consistently fantastic, and most shows seem to be lucky if they do one episode I like half as much as I've liked this season. I don't know if it means that TV needs to pick up the slack, if Mad Men is just at this high standard of quality that'd be impossible for other shows to touch, or some combination of both.

As far as World War Z goes, I haven't read another book this year that left such a major impression on me. It left the kind of impression I usually don't get from genre fiction, honestly. And that meant it was actually very hard for me to read because it stressed me out so much. In a good way.

What trips me out so often that this is a show I can watch without subscribing to premium cable. I've seen great dramas before but most of them were on HBO. Honestly, it seems like cable has a higher level of drama than the network channels do and I wish the networks would step up their game but as long as I get tv like Mad Men I'm okay.

WWZ had me pausing, reading certain sections again, and then going back to see where certain characters were first mentioned. The scope of that book alone impressed and even knowing the person being interviewed survived, I still felt such tension. I've heard rumors about a movie but I'm not sure how it would translate. If done right it could be amazing but I'm not sure if it would be done right.
