* So glad AMC seems to have finally worked out a deal to keep Mad Men going for two (three?) more seasons. I was so happy I finally uploaded a Mad Men icon. :P Will Don and the others make it to the 1970s? Also ... 30 MILLION DOLLARS?! Can I write for an AMC show?
* Looking forward to seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kerryblaze today tomorrow (duh) and a whole bunch more LJ folks next weekend. I was going to wait till the day of to secure a ticket to H2SIB for next Saturday, but I've discovered that would be unwise. I passed by the theater the other morning at about 9:30 and there were like 40 people lined up outside the Hirschfeld waiting for the box office to open. This show is huge.
* I'm disappointed in myself for not having broken the 100 movie mark by now. Still, 82 as of the end of March is nothing to sneeze at. Favorite first-run film so far this year - hands down 13 Assassins. I hate to compare it to Seven Samurai, because that's too obvious, but if you like Seven Samurai I think you would LOVE 13 Assassins. Favorite vintage seen for the first time this year - hmmmm, probably Sullivan's Travels.
* Hey, remember Freedom Rock, man? (Well, turn it up, man!) For some reason, I went looking for the old commercial and the song list. I never had the set, but I know that I and my peers gained a sizable chunk of knowledge about 1960s rock due to the commercial alone. I took it upon myself to collect mp3s of all the songs on the list (I'd love to buy someone's used record set on eBay, but I don't have a player right now). Anyway, I was pretty gobsmacked at how much awesome music is on there that I never heard on the commercial (some of which I'd never heard period until I started digging for mp3s). Is "One Tin Soldier" the greatest peace song ever or what?!
* And now to Jim McGuffin for the weather. GO AWAY, WINTER! That is all. Back to you, Ted. (If you don't recognize the name references, your Potter-fu is rusty. :P)
