I KNOW! And 'Breaking Bad' doesn't come back until March. And I don't have Showtime, so I have to wait for 'Dexter' too. What am I gonna do? Read?

Sally: You say things and you don't really mean them. You can't just do that.

"the "there are people who buy things…" speech"

Oh, but when she showed up at the new "office" with her preciouos little sandwiches and her "Isn't it exciting?" did you see the daggers Peggy shot her with her eyes? There's so much baggage there.

I don't think Cosgrove was approached either—we know that Bert values the cache of Pete's name, and I think it was true that they recognized his value as the young, hungry upstart that Ken and his haircut aren't. Consider this—they needed someone who could coax his accounts to jump ship and that means someone who has…

Theoretically though, Don's now free to court her in earnest. I wonder if she meant enough to him for real to pursue it, or if Roger's reading of Don's attitudes toward relationship (good so long as they remain useful, but unnecessary otherwise) with hold true.

"you'll be fine"
Sal will not be coming back as the head of SCDP art department—although the new firm will, of course, need one. I think he'll be back as an in-demand freelance commercial director, sought out by a still guilty feeling Harry Crane.

I don't own very many DVD's, but I bought both 'Blade Runner' and the 'Shining' so that I WOULDN'T have to drop everything to watch them every time they are on.

That's not a movie you watch so much as inhabit.

Gorilla—I agree about the change in tone watching 'Breakfast Club' as an adult, especially if you're a teacher. Paul Gleason's character (though still a jerk, and totally unsuited to the profession) is a lot more sympathetic if you've actually had to deal with that know-it-all kid that just wants to escalate the…

I'm your Huckleberry.

Still waiting for a 'Mad Max' trilogy box set with all kinds of extras and letterboxing.

Plus 'Frantic' has that Grace Jones on it—excellent mood music.

I haven't seen 'The Ghost and Mr. Chicken' since I was maybe 12 (on TBS, I'll wager), but I loved it at the time.

Since I've been out of the classroom I have really missed getting to know students—but I sure don't miss attendance, discipline, and grading. When I go home for the day I'm done (too bad it's after twelve hour days during testing season).

A Little Smut Won't Hurt You
There are a lot of them—The two that routinely surprise me are 'Dick' and 'Undercover Brother' on Comedy Central—but the alltime champion, the movie I will switch away from other things I'm enjoying to watch the minute I realize it's on, is "True Grit". It's not my favorite movie, but it's…

I just want to say:
I don't want your strange cake from Brooklyn!

"I don't want your strange cake from Brooklyn!"
This is my new motto.

Couldn't you tell that the question about whose performance was the most surprising was fishing for Mariah Carey comments. I was glad he avoided that trap.
