I think all of you will agree that one of the better feelings in modern times is to discover a new T.V. series you like. Recently, Mad Men, AMC’s show about Madison Avenue advertisement executives in the 1950’s, has been getting a lot of buzz. I decided to check it out an wasn’t disappointed.
The show follows many different plot lines and characters, but if you had to boil it down, it focuses on Donald Draper, his life, and the advertising company he is the star of.
The show explores everything from office life in the 50s to marriage, love, mystery, sex, and business. It is so good. The first season is out on DVD but ALSO FREE ON DEMAND (in HD as well) and Season 2 begins July 27 @ 10PM. Give it a shot… you won’t be disappointed.
Don Draper and his very beautiful wife. How could you cheat on that face?

Barack Obama’s first major overseas tour since he announced his canidacy has been going very well. First, The PM of Iraq announced his general support of Obama’s Iraq withdrawal plan, only to retract it later, which the White House admitted was because of their pressure. Secondly, while McCain was hoping for an Obama gaffe while abroad, it was hiimself who screwed up today, talking about the safety of the “Iraqi-Pakistan” border, a border that doesn’t exist (trend here?).
Anyway, Obama is looking the part in the photos released from the trip.

Last night, at 12:30 am, I came to the realization that there were people out there seeing The Dark Knight. I couldn’t take it. Ignoring the fact that I already had tickets to the IMAX version of the film for Saturday night, I went to the theater and bought tickets for the 3:30am showing. After a nap I sat down in the theater, confident in my decision. This is my review of Batman: The Dark Knight.
