Got up early this morning, couldn't sleep. I went for a 40-minute walk around the neighborhood, catching up on podcasts. Came home and realized we are very low on food, so ended up making vegetarian chik patties for breakfast. Mmmm. TVP.

Watched two episodes of "Mad Men." It's brilliant and addictive. Everyone's so dissatisfied! The attention to detail is magnificent. It's like the opposite of "Happy Days" -- possibly the most anachronistic period television in history.

Brian is cleaning up in his office. I am trying to talk him out of throwing out a bag of perfectly good practically new dress shirts.

Headed downtown now to meet up with a couple of girlfriends.

Okay "Flight of the Conchords" is the shit. Officially. Albi, the Racist Dragon? ell-oh-ell.

I also watched my TiVo of "Mad Men". Pretty good. A bit dark, too. And I knew who the gay guy was the second he opened his mouth. Good idea, but I think they should rein it in a little bit. Though I dug how he's the one who has to be the most vocal about how hot the chicks are. Overcompensating. I know gay men in the closet in 2007 who do that.

It's weird that I only have three weeks left at my company. After nine years. Gah. A whole new leaf. This time is going to go fast. I feel like I should be packing already but I know that is silly. I need to find a moving company. On that I am stuck right now.

Creed Thoughts

One of the things I love about this character from The Office is that the actor's real name is Creed. He's one of the cast members that was originally hired to just be a background player -- along with Oscar, Angela, and Phyllis.

So, I didn't watch American Idol for like three seasons, and this year decided okay why not, I'm no snob about my trashy reality TV. Turns out I picked the worst season ever, yay me!

So now that the best singer has been eliminated, who should "win"?

1. Blake, the lipless poser douchebag from my hometown (sorta) who ought to be kicked in the nuts?

or

2. Jordin, the home-schooled giggling fundie who in her spare time, attends pro-"life" rallies?

The correct answer is:

SANJAYA!
