Mad Men & stuff
Hubby didn't go to aikido so it's not a real Wednesday relax but oh well. Lovely day, no Madam on the premises, so despite a bunch of total ferals (it's the windy weather, I suspect) things were at least Happy for kids and staff and Uncle Tom Cobbley'n'all.
Done my housewifey bit tonight - bobotie with madras seasoning; silly me spent an hour making the stuff, lovingly prepared 2tbs oil-emulsified spice mix, then went and added the (6tbs) dry remainder in a thoughtless moment. Oh well. Still tasted good :) Now chilling out with Snowy White[1], Guinness and tpb.

Mad Men 1.3. Watching that awful, awful kids' birthday party thing, with the horrible, horrible women and the kids acting out their parents and... UGH. Some things don't change. Makes one want to cry. And smoke. Seriously. DAMMIT. This is worse than The Fourth Arm for setting up cravings :)
I can see another Box Set coming on. Might have to get Dad into this too - although the similarities with his old GMH crowd might be toooooo too beyond :)
In other media: Introduced hubby to Breaking Bad. Reaction so far... I think I can win him over, especially once the Grotesquely Funny Violence starts :) and OMG The Fixer is INTO a second season and no bastich told me? *readies popcorn stash*

Finished Gopnik - passed it onto our Babies' Room Leader. Well worth the time, and not just for early childhood chappies. Always good to be reminded that Child X whacking you over the nut with a fly swat to see what will happen is engaged in serious psychological research :)

[1] Oh, don't start :) Bird of Paradise is one of my all-time Guilty Pleasure songs.
