http://www.lippsisters.com - a Mad Men fansite that looks so awesome. I have to say, I think the main reason I'm not more involved in the fandom is just because I almost don't have to be. I don't feel there's anything I can write about the characters that will be at all good enough, there's no speculation that I feel I need to sit down and discuss (I mean, it's so good and so well written I get annoyed to find someone else who might disagree with me, as if I alone have the true doctrine in my hand and ZOMG HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID, IT'S INSULTING THE WRITERS, IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!!111!!!!! GARR!). In short, I am not worthy of it.

Lord help me when I start watching The Wire.

http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/ - Always good commentary, especially about Mad Men. Somehow I must be strong and not read any series 3 posts until it comes out on BBC iplayer, ha...

 Whatever happened to Jim Gaffigan? Did he get to Hollywood in the end? He used to be one of my favourites. I've also completely forgotten John Lenaham, who did this bizarre sketch levitating a spliff with Rick Wakeman doing the music. Genius.

• This is one of those 'what a coincidence' sort of posts considering Clinton's Nigerian 'tour' was all over the newspapers (mostly concerning the current situation in the oil producing Delta State). I was surprised to see a US politician talking to leaders of a third world nation without any mention of aid in lieu of foreign policy and I'm hoping this is a continuing trend for the Obama administration.
• Another writer whose books I have to order. Between hers and Milton Davis' recs, I suspect I now have a new library in the making.
• Yet another uncannily relevant post from an awesome blog. Not really much else to say really!
