Obsession Confession Sunday: Mad About Mad Men

Five Mad Men-esque things I'm currently obsessed with:


Coulda been my career.
  1. Advertising/business. I have a degree in advertising. I fell into making the internet by accident and made a career of it. I once thought I would work in an ad agency, preferably making billboards. 
  2. The clothes. Oh my. The clothes. I need Joan's wardrobe.
  3. The furniture. I'd like to refurnish my house with Mad Men set pieces.
  4. Peggy. Sometimes she's awful. Sometimes she's inspiring. But aren't we all that way.
  5. The cigarettes. I'm pretty sure I have contracted lung cancer through the television now. 
What are you watching?

I'm not dead.

Hey kids, guess who is still alive...me. Barely.
   

 
As you may know, I started a new job last week. I am now a web geek for the marketing department in a hospital. It involves coding classic ASP, a normal work environment and giving a crap - three things I haven't dealt with in quite a while. And I pretty much love it. But. I'm so insanely tired. My commute is a bit longer and I actually have to show up on time and NOT skip lunch to leave early (my last job was pretty really, really flexible with time). I've been sort of zombie-fied every night. This was convenient while I was boarded up for Hurricane Isaac. Not so convenient for the ole blog. (Yes, I fully understand how lame this sounds.)

I did, however, find the time and energy to...
  • dream about Neal Patrick Harris. I made him feel me up. Shamu was watching. They both cried. I'm having trouble finding this in the dream dictionary. 
  • start watching Mad Men. How have I not been watching this show?
  • discover that when I ignore my Google Reader account for a week, it stacks up with 1000+ posts.
  • eat more peanut butter m&ms than I will ever admit to.
I should be back to my regularly scheduled features and random oddities next week. Anything new and tiring going on with yous guys?
