Apologies for not doing anything here for so long, things have been hectic and I've been exhausted from staring at the television and scraping through Politico for election news.

Meanwhile, hey! The awesome guy won! Well done you Americans! I like you now.

In television news, most of the programs suck and no word on Dollhouse's release date.

Le sigh.

The words allegedly attributed to Republican Vice-Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin in reference to Obama when Hillary lost the Democratic Party Nomination.

Why is noone in the Mainstream Media talking about this?

If this story doesn't break on MSM soon, I officially brand everyone an asshat. [LA Progressive]

In other news, I'm very excited about the fall season. Looking forward to a good dose of Mad Men, Pushing Daisies, Scrubs, 90210 (i can't help myself), Entourage and The Hills.

If you watched the first episode of 90210, did you come to the same conclusion I did about Kelly Taylor's little boy's father? ( I could have said BabyDaddy but meh) Did anyone else pick up that she was talking to Brandon on the phone? Are they alluding to Brandon being the dad? You know what would be great? If they ditched all the new characters and bring the old cast back and tell us what's been happening with those guys the last few years.

The new cast weren't born when the show began. Sigh. AND...does anyone else think Shenae Grimes is now freakishly skinny?

 --- is that her arm!?

I have been remiss in not talking about Emmy nominated awesome AMC show,Mad Men. This seemingly innocuous show about the advertising world in the 60s is far deeper than what I thought it would be about. It s so intriguing to go back to world where a woman's hair and lipstick is always done, men wear suits ALL the time and a woman who is curvy is appreciated. What a time.

Racism and sexism were not only commonplace, they were also common ways of thinking. On the verge of the sexual revolution, Mad Men takes a look at the 'just before's'. Just before Freedom fighters, civil rights, peace loving hippies. Just before the world changed.

The show revealed some insidious longing in me to live in that time where women were housewives. Those who worked did so only to find a man and the women who owned businesses were looked upon as strange artefacts. Intriguing.

It doesn't hurt that the cast are stunningly good looking and happen to be able to carry off subtle plot lines. The only one who irks me is VIncent Kartheiser (Connor from Angel) who is always annoying and smarmy, this time it just happens to suit his character.

I want this show to win everything at the Emmys. It deserves it.

I have written about this before but the reaches of my own stupidity never fails to amuse me. Recently, my mother joined a 'vitamin revolution', which promised not only to make her super healthy but also super rich. Its list of wow's included losing weight, gaining energy, making shiteloads of cash and feeling good about helping other people. What? Charity, friends, money and happiness? What miracle product is this!?

A fake one.

Mum took the bait and I laughed at her as she tried in vain to shift these so-called miracle vitamins. It wasn't so funny when she tried to force them on me.

MLMs don't work. They never have. I know because I've tried enough of them. Some were crazy ones that popped up one day, took all your money and vanished, others put the effort in to maintain a semblance of respectability - mainly because the owners thought they were onto something great. They were not. I

 wish I could show you how much money i lost playing the mlm game.

What about you guys? Can anyone prove me wrong with an mlm success story? I'll give you entreredits if you made over $1000 from an mlm. Also, because I am charitable like that, please provide the name (and link) of this fabulous opportunity so other people can make the mooah!
