This blog doesn't generally veer into pop culture territory, which is a pity. This is mostly because I feel pretty removed from pop culture -- especially movies here -- and besides my weekly session at comingsoon.net to watch movie trailers, and my near-religious devotion to Germany's Next Top Model, I remain entertainment-free. I usually hate people like me, people who claim to ''not care'' about movies or those who say they ''don't really watch TV.'' Those people seem pretentious and are usually not very funny. They also don't read nearly as many books as they claim to.
So, I was really late to the party with Mad Men, the stylish drama about ad execs (''Madison Ave. Men'') in 1960. After reading about how the show, in its first season, won the Golden Globe, I decided to watch some episodes illegally... they were amazing. No other show has such sharp writing, inspired set design, or a light-handed touch with nostaligia... I'm officially obsessed.
Other than discovering MM, I'm getting back to normal this week after having two weeks of DNA visitors. Erik and I miss our familes but we've kept busy planning our April travels. This weekend, I head to Berlin to watch Henly run in a (half) MARATHON, next weekend is Bern for E's birthday, and two weeks after that is München!
I am conquering Germania.
