My procrastination knows no bounds

I've been stalking people I went to grade, middle, and high school with but no longer speak to. Thanks to the interwebs, this is pretty easy.

I discovered that a boy I had a crush on in the 8th Grade got married but is now divorced. He is still as cute as he was back in the day. Another guy I despised looks like a meth addict and his wife/girlfriend epitomizes white trash. Yay!

Then some shockers: one guy I knew in middle school and high school (who I think had something to do with my car radio being stolen) who was kind of cute in an endearing way is SMOKING HOT now. Then another guy who was a bean pole and kind of awkward is beefy and cute now! Hilarious.

OK, back to work...

I've seen the end times, and it isn't pretty

Holy shit. Wal-Mart is now offering low cost legal services. God help us all!

...which of course means, cat video time!! I'm afraid to say it, but my cat is almost as bad as this one:

Mad Men is disappointing...

SPOILERS BELOW

The first two seasons of Mad Men were great; mysteries, inappropriate comments, drinking like fish throughout the workday - fabulous.

But now, as we near the end of the 3rd season, it's unclear what the point is anymore. We get it: suburban life is stifling and the Mad Men early-60s society is on the brink of dramatic change (possibly?). Don Draper is a mean, womanizing bastard who occasionally cuts someone down in a funny way. He's hot; we get it.

I was excited by Betty's discovery last week, only for it to go nowhere. There's the hope she'll confront Don, or at least have another tryst in the bathroom of some NYC bar again, but so what?

The episodes this season have been meandering and incomplete, and it seems like the writers/directors/producers are self-consciously trying to create a meditative or contemplative atmosphere in the show that simply falls flat.

The show gets a lot of accolades, but in the third season it is truly about nothing. Aside from the fabulous Joan, who cares about these people? They are all awful. They've completely ruined the Peggy story-arch by having her screw Ducky... that was so pathetic.

I'm hoping for a comeback, but expecting to be disappointed over the next month!

Radical lawyer, William Kunstler

There are many people I find inspiring, and William Kunstler is one of them. He was a controversial lawyer who represented a wide-range of clients, including the American Indian Movement and John Gotti.

His daughters produced a documentary about his life as a lawyer and a father. Here's the trailer:
