God showed up outside Mary's house and played "In Your Eyes" on his boom box. Man, did they fuck that night.

Oh, snap!

Heh, as IF. She'll never press charges coz she knows I only hit her coz I love her. And I love her so much, CHRIST! I love her so much I just have to break her nose.

Fuck baseball, I swear…

Gimpy leg or no, Anna was about the sexiest woman we've ever seen on the show, though I'm glad Dick's relationship with her was platonic.

Am I the Only One…
…who hated "The Jet Set"? Once Don runs off with the eponymous pack of cliches, the episode goes off the rails into Boring Gulch. A

And the gay long distance rates are murder.

Lethem's Greatest Achievement…
…may well be getting The Library of America to enshrine 13 of Philip K. Dick's novels (11 of them great) in three volumes. I did like Gun and As She Climbed. Fortress of Solitude pissed me off from beginning to end but I ultimately would recommend that one as well.

But that's why I hate the Saw movies
Jigsaw IS a life coach and it's bullshit.

I liked Synechdoche, it was Adapatation I could not (and cannot) stand.

"Sex and the City" was the kind of show misogynists watch when they want to recharge their chick-hating batteries. GG was a rather smart, charming show I imagine smart, charming tweens and teens could watch with their smart, charming moms.

I was happy there was a show like GG for young, smart girls to watch—it wasn't my kind of show but it struck me as being worthwhile.

Shall we meet to discuss this further?

It's pretty much agreed that no American will win the Nobel Prize in Literature for some time.

I don't think it's gibberish but I do think it's incomplete. If accounts is the masculine side of the business, why does Sterling himself refer to it in less than masculine terms: "Do you know how many handjobs I'm going to have to give?" or words to that effect after Pete alienated Admiral.

I think the "I asked for the moon" was just one more underscore of the fact that Connie is an irrational and cryptic lunatic, a sentimental bully (this show is full of bullies, btw, which makes sense as the bully-bullied relationship is perhaps the model of 90% of human interaction).

In the very first episode, we see a Don Draper who is very comfortable with the bigotries of his era. When Roger asks if they've hired any Jews (to trot out for Mencken's), Don replies, with proud defensiveness, "Not on my watch."

Funny—I've always seen through Don. I "like" him as a character (I "like" Pete and Roger, too) but I've never seen him as anything more than a philandering bully.

I'm with Vichuted: I don't see Carla answering the door as indicative of quite so much hypocrisy as some people seem to. Were she white housekeeper, she'd pretty much be doing the same things and be in the same fix vis-a-vis Betty's nascent infidelity. If anything, Carla has a job with people who treat her with some…

I just ran from the room, in tears.
