Top 10 Things We Miss About the Mad Men Era -
I agree with all of these, emphatically yes to men in suits, drinks at work, and my dear beats.
And yet, I’m a little irritated. While I am in 100% agreement over “Curvy Women,” (as though I don’t have a crush on Christina Hendricks. Hello), I’m not sure this is necessary:
Fashion flattered the hourglass figure, not the straight and narrow. Women looked more like females — you know, the gender capable of producing and nursing another human being — than like adolescent boys
Back to my “all women are beautiful” argument and way to make skinny girls feel shitty about themselves, and ohbytheway, Fuck Off, Time.
The sweetest home run swing in baseball. Haters to the left.

Ah. Now goodnight. Tomorrow is 600. I can feel it.
Maybe I really am just an f-ing basketcase, and I do this all to myself.
Something to ponder.
Goodnight, friends.
Tomorrow, in case you have forgotten, is Friday.

All together now, DOOOOOOOOOOOUCHE!
““I am public enemy number 1 or 2 to the Democratic Party, the progressive movement, and the Obama administration based upon the successes my journalism has had.”” —
Andrew Breitbart - An unrepentant Andrew Breitbart told POLITICO Thursday that the Obama administration and its allies have manufactured a controversy over the video he posted of Shirley Sherrod’s speech to the NAACP as part of an orchestrated effort to take him down.

This man is an unbelievable disgrace to his profession.
I realized tonight, somewhere in the midst of a quiet feeling of anxiety that was creeping through me, that I am completely overwhelmed right now. I feel like there is bad…just far, far too much bad in this moment of my life. Things that are happening to people I love that I can not stop. Things that I worry might be happening to me-perhaps irrational, because that is how I am-but this time I really worry my fears make perfect sense. There is too much that I don’t know right now, and too much that I can’t control and it feels like it haunts me almost every second of every day. That it is all lingering there behind every thought and every smile.
But now there is this- now mixed with the all of that fear, and sadness, and anxiety…I feel something else. I feel that there is good. And there is happiness. And there are things that I hardly remember, or maybe things I have never known. And the thing is…I’m not sure whether that hurts or helps. I’m not sure if it gives me hope, or if it just works to make me feel that much more overwhelmed. I know that I want to feel them…that I need to, because sometimes it is like breathing again after months of holding my breath. But yet, my breaths are still uneven with emotion.
And all I know for sure is that right now, in this second, I am wound so tightly I could burst and that it may be a long time before I sleep tonight, exhaustion be damned.

It would be bad if it was in vain…
Which was our originally scheduled program, I have instead spent the last hour on my hands and knees cleaning up what looked like a murder scene in the parents’ kitchen. It turns out my father, who is supposed to be resting during the day to keep his strength up for chemo and yada yada… instead decided he should mow the lawn, weed-whack and then do the hedges with some giant monstrosity of a hedge trimmer.
I’m not sure what happened but it appears…he missed? Instead of the hedges he took a chunk out of his hand. The one place, mind you, he is supposed to be very careful with on the chemo he is on. Also, with low platelets the bleeding has been about out of control.
So, you know, good times.
Blood makes me a bit queasy, but I want it to all be up before they get home from the hospital. If I don’t earn my f-ing fantastic daughter of the year award, I truly don’t know who does.
Now please excuse me while i go vomit and then lie down.
LOVE the chorizo. Trader Joe’s is just about my favorite place on the planet, I have to admit. Would drive there for their meatless meatballs alone.
Well it took about 3 episodes of Season 1 for me to really get in to it, but now I think I’m hooked. ThankyouverymuchAmandaGray.
Welcome! It ONLY gets better. By season 2 you will be a junkie.
