Ain’t it swell? Don, Peggy, Roger, Joan and the entire gang from Sterling Cooper are back for another season of Mad Men on Sunday night.
From the six martini lunches to the fabulous clothes, I just love, love, love this TV show set in an advertising agency in New York City during the 1960s.

Admittedly, I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy, nor do I pretend that I know the every move of Katherine Heigl. On a personal level, I don’t care all that much because I don’t know her. However, news items keep coming my way about a recent issue and I figured it’s worth discussing.
This article from LA Times sums [...]

Today, the latest installment of the Harry Potter movie franchise “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” hits theaters.
I admit, I’m a fan. I’ve read all the books, own all the DVDs and spent a good part of this past Sunday watching the movie marathon on ABC Family (I did have a bad cold). Hey, we [...]

This morning, my trusty Tweet deck alerted me to a Tweet posted by my co-worker, which read: “‘Does this include punching someone when you’re frustrated? ‘What Job Seekers Can Learn From NHL Hockey Players‘” (And, no Anthony, it doesn’t.)

Poor Tuesday. Lost in the sea of a shortened work week. It’s not the dreaded Monday. It’s not Hump Day/first of July. It’s not Thursday, which this week is Friday. It just sits there, waiting to be ignored.

With the release of the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, we got to thinking about what it would be like if Transformers were walking around among us. I suppose that’s the premise of the show and movies already, but our minds still raced.
