The greatest commercials you will ever see

Haiku Recap! Mad Men 4.13 "Tomorrowland"

I'll admit I have been guilty of neglecting Mad Men on the blog, but no longer! In fact, I'm just in time to comment on...the season finale! Wait a minute. Season 4 is over already?! Say it ain't so. This season had so many intriguing plot and character developments that I never wanted it to end! And now, I have to wait how long until season 5, Matt Weiner and AMC?! My little Mad Men-loving heart can't take it. Summer of 2011 (or whenever season 5 will air) can't arrive soon enough. 

Anyways, in true Ashitaka's Angels fashion (we love making haikus here), here is a quick recap of Mad Men's season finale, "Tomorrowland," in haiku form:


To: Don; From: Everyone, especially Dr. Faye Miller
Oh, no, you didn't!!
She's just another escape.
Oh, no, you didn't.


A New Low, Even for Her:
She fired Carla?!
Little girl in adult's clothes.
No one's on her side. 



Oh, Wise Henry Francis:
Read from your tomes,
only adult in your marriage.
"There is no fresh start."



Can These Two Just Become Friends Now?!
The men around you
act stupidly; smoke your cigs,
BAMF Peggy and Joan.



Ode to Creepy Glen
I'm not creepy, really.
Can I have some of your hair?
Making Drapers move



Ode to Mad Men Season 4
SCDP's world
lights up my TV as does 
Jon Hamm. Come back soon!


Special thanks to guest haiku-maker, Lea, for her contributions to "Ode to Creepy Glen" and "A New Low, Even for Her." Snaps all around.

30 Rock goes LIVE Tonight! I want to go to there.


Friends, I have a confession to make. Thanks to my enabler, Netflix, I've been on the brink of OD'ing on an endless stream of 30 Rock reruns. As a result, my love for (read: slight addiction to) this show has only grown--so much so, that I've begun to crave its quirky and smart brand humor all the more. It's also given me an incessant case of the munchies.

This season's episodes have been pretty amusing so far, but I'm really looking forward to tonight's LIVE episode because anything could happen! In front of a live audience, things could go anywhere from 'smoothly' to 'the-wheels-have-fallen-off-and-the-whole-effing-cast-is-winging-it-now'. In any case, I'll be watching with a stack of Oreos on hand.

Tonight, they'll be taping 2 live shows: one at 8:30 for the East coast and another at 11:30 for the West coast. I kind of want to watch both because they'll be tweaking material for the 2nd episode. (I hope they hulu that shiz.)

Tina Fey has promised special guest stars, which leads me to speculate. Will Dr. Spaceman appear? Will Jon Hamm as the now hook-handed Dr. Baird make a cameo? Will one of Kenneth's relatives from Stone Mountain, GA show up?


I've got my hooks crossed that the answer to at least one of these questions is a resounding yes.

30 Rock's first LIVE episode kicks off tonight at 8:30/7:30 central, nerds. Don't miss it.

Here are some pretty promos for you to watch.
