Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, Mad Men is coming back March 25th.

All right, I should be all caught up by then! More than halfway through season three now.

When the hell is Venture Bros. coming back?

They're just starting production this month So, maybe next fall?

Fooey!

Though if it comes back along with the arrival of Legend of Korra, that'll be cool. Plus Emmett and I have a big slate of summer movies to consume.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I am excited for Mad Men to come back for a slightly unorthodox reason. The lady who runs the vintage store where I've been apprenticing claims that business picks up when Mad Men is on the air, and I'm really curious about whether that's actually true.

People start having Mad Man viewing parties so you gotta dress up.

Art Crawl!!!

So, some of my knitting group folks had been to Mitsuya (which they insist on mispronouncing by not enunciating the y) - and provided us with good and unusual Japanese treats.

My favorite arare - you know the nori wrapped ones (this sort) - were delicious.

And they had blueberry filled and sesame filled marshmallows. The blueberry ones were delicious. The sesame ones were interesting. I'd never had a savory marshmallow before. But - if you find blueberry (preserves) filled marshmallows - nab them. One of the knitters described then as being like gummy bears - and I said only softer and less chewy. This is totally the ones we had.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Supernatural's back. I can get through the lean times (defined as "until Community gets back"), but the return of shows like White Collar sure will help.

Our company just bought another subsidiary. Given the amount of "opportunities" we have integrating the three we have so far, IT-wise, this is going to be fun. In the *not* sense of the word. Power to us for expanding, though!

I have already bitched about my family's companies. Academi? Seriously? And the politician cousin got dinged for a stupid racist tweet. Why don't people know better? Jeez.

That's definitely a factor, but she claims it's also because people want to wear vintage more when they see it on TV regularly.

That's possible. I do want to eat and drink when I see TV characters eat and drink.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My mom has stopped by unannounced twice in the last 3 days. One time I was just getting out of the shower and dressed at like 11am, today I was still in my pjs watching tv at 10 something. I know part of it is to bring stuff over, but part of it, I think, is to make sure I am not a complete depressed disaster zone and/or to shame me into getting going. JUST CALL FIRST! It will have the same effect and I can look not so ggllllgh.

I mean, today I don't feel great, so without a job to go to or any other commitments, I was chillin through the morning, but I swear I will not do that everyday. I SWEAR.

Now I am all paranoid and showered and cleaned a workspace and am writing down my day as it goes and am updating resumes on LinkedIN (except it won;t let me) and Monster and Careerbuilder and I am going to get 4-5 resumes out before I take another entertainment break. STG

Hate all of this. Hate. But it is motivating, so I guess she is being effective.
