What I’ve Been Doing 23 April 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
It was a nice, lazy, fun weekend full of baseball, movies, and video games. Who could complain? Movies The Cabin in the Woods – If you think for a second you want to see this movie, you probably shouldn’t read anything about it. Those of you who don’t, well I thought it was an interesting […]

Mad Men S5E4: “Signal 30” [IB]
Guys, seriously, how great was that episode? Pete is a weaselly, slimy character, but he’s oftentimes the most interesting character on the screen after Don. He’s a guy who wants it all, but cannot recognize when he’s got it. More importantly, Pete Campbell can never have it all because he is so aggressively unlikeable. Driver’s […]

What I’ve Been Doing 16 April 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
I didn’t do much this week, but cut me some slack, man! I was in Las Vegas! Movies Nope TV Mad Men – My thoughts on the last episode are here, but it’s a safe bet to say that I love this show and this season has been great so far. Books Ha! Nope. Should […]

Mad Men S5E03: “Mystery Date” [IB]
You know what’s my favorite thing about Mad Men? Even when it’s dead serious or surreal it’s not above brilliant jokes. I want to hit on the lighter moments first, because this episode was very dark and violent. Moment numero uno has to be the scene with Peggy and Sterling. It’s just perfect to see […]

What I’ve Been Doing 9 April 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Baseball. It signals the end of winter. Guess what, guys? Winter is GONE! The Marlins are off to a rocky start (1-3), but they’re still looking pretty good and, in the past two games, playing pretty well too. I really hope this season is better than the last, but, either way, at least baseball has […]

Mad Men S5E02: “Tea Leaves” [IB]
Not every episode can be a bombastic “Zou Bisou”, can it? A lot of people don’t like Betty, but this episode featured centered around her in a truly bizarre fat suit. Betty has a little bit of a health scare related to a lump found on her thyroid which sends ripples through the Francis and […]

Mad Men S5E01: “A Little Kiss” [IB]
Mad Men is back, y’all, and it’s better than ever! Season four flirted with perfection, but that was somewhere around 17 months ago. Now it’s time for something new. I think it’s fair to guess that season five is probably going to deal with the civil rights issue that its protagonists have mostly dodged for […]

What I’ve Been Doing 2 April 2012 [FB/IB/F/BT/GO]
Guys, Goon was really good. More later, but you should check it out. This week was a real scattershot weekend as I tried to play a bunch of games I didn’t give much time to before. Movies Martha Marcy May Marlene – The cult in the movie is an interesting contrast to the fundamentalist Christian […]

Mad Men is BACK…but shhhh! I haven’t seen the premiere yet. Trying to finish S4 first and I’ve got about three episodes to burn through. I’ll get it tonight. Don’t worry. Movies Was supposed to watch one, but…didn’t get around to it. TV Persona 4: The Animation – This show continues to be awesome. The […]
