on this past sunday’s episode of mad men everyone got a shot of “vitamins” that was actually speed. and it was incredible. are you watching?!

Cosgrove is my favorite character on the show though.

(Come on. In addition to being likeable, largely sane, and happily married, he also writes SF stories and knows how to tap-dance.)

(But now that SCDP and CGC have merged and all, I sure would like some follow-up on his and Peggy’s “pact” that she totally walked out on.)

(Not holding my breath, though. Flush that one down the memory hole of similar Chekhov guns that have somehow fallen off the mantel and ended up lost behind the firedogs.)

On the TLo Lawnmower Scale of Mad Men WTF*, that episode was a solid 4 out of 5 lawnmowers.

* “We mentioned last season that we rate the WTF factor on Mad Men using the lawnmower scale. Guy gets his foot cut off: 5 out of 5 lawnmowers. Don’s wife unexpectedly breaks into a sexy song routine: 3.5 out of 5. Betty gained 40 pounds since we last saw her: 3/5. You get the idea.” —Tom and Lorenzo

Look! There was a fan fiction article in today’s  Washington Express (a free daily I newspaper put out by the Washington Post in Washington DC)

You don’t have to sign up to read stories on ArchiveOfOurOwn though. Just to post them :)

I’m just sitting here chuckling at the illo.

You can tell this was written by someone in fandom because they got the definition of “slash” right. \o/

I also like the observation that fan fiction isn’t just a late-twentieth-century invention. And a nod to Teaspoon in the sidebar! And laughing at the description of the Pit of Voles as “massive, if somewhat impersonal”.


Finally managed to catch Oliver the Cat slinking into the closet. Note that this is a ten-pound cat, vs a fairly substantial sliding door.

There is a reason it is known as the Slough of Research. (Hat tip to innocentsmith for that, as I recall.)
