I buy them on iTunes, it's $22 I think per season and more worth it than anything else on iTunes.

I loved Marti Noxon's work on Buffy! And here.

Also, I now am dying to try out that "Mom called" line but I'm not sure I could pull it off as a girl.

I really liked the way that thing w/ Faye harmonized with him telling blonde girl some story about an imaginary sister.

Danny Strong is such a terrific actor. Although his character seems quite annoying based on the strength of his ability I really hope we see him more this season.

I think Roger wasn't as opposed to hiring Don as he seemed on the surface of it. Giving Don his card had a double meaning.

Not everyone has to stay in a job for over a year, so he could have come back, spent like a year w/ cars then moved to Manhattan. What interests me is WHERE Anna Draper found Don (when she walked into the car dealership he worked at). Was that in CA or somewhere else random in the US?

I liked the ambiguity of not knowing whether Roger actually hired him or not. If I were forced to choose one I'd probably say Roger *did* offer him a job but I still appreciated the ambiguity.

I wish Breaking Bad had won. To me Mad Men is like 110% while Breaking Bad is 120%.

I love him too. He's so good.

Looking forward to this, hope it will retain Yugoslav sensibility
Any of you seen Grbavica? What a great movie.

Fuck you.

I don't understand why everyone thinks this movie is going to be so successful. It's an incredibly weird book that, and forgive me for sounding like a snob, I find impossible to believe will be accessible to the majority of the American public. Like half of it is about the firebombing of Dresden. Basically it's about…

One of the best books I've ever read in my life. It's very affecting, unless you are the kind of person who will interpret it as twee and affected. I (and lots of other people) categorize him with Milan Kundera and Gunter Grass and John Irving. I.e., somewhat subdued magic realism with lots of emotional themes and a…

"The thing that bugs me about Foer is that he relies on stylistic tricks, which would be fine if he wasn't taking on subjects (the Holocaust, 9/11) that cry out for far more serious treatment." I really disagree with this. I mean, apart from that I don't feel that he "relies on stylistic tricks," which I suppose is a…

Oh, on the other hand that episode has the scene where Dawn gets all tramped out and sleazily dances with that guy, which scene I have rewound and rewatched like forty times, so that probably more than makes up for my not watching the cheerleading scene.

The one thing I can remember totally not being able to take is the scene from episode "Him" (I think it's 7.5, or maybe 7.6) where Dawn tries out for cheerleading and embarrasses herself. I find it totally unwatchable. It's just too uncomfortable. It's not really supposed to be funny though.

Also, isn't it really hard to accurately throw opened beverages because the change in dynamics caused by the liquid spilling out changes the arc of the can?

I liked Chuck Klosterman's first book but everything I tried to read after that I felt was really samey and the dominance of his personal voice took from generating interest in the content he was writing about. While Nabin has a very distinctive writing style I feel it's never used in lieu of genuinely interesting…

That's because you were in Boston!
