Lately
Lately, I have been completely failing to like things my friends adore, which makes me sad. If you know me personally, you know I’m rarely happier than when falling in line with my peers. Which is why I’m so sad not to be enjoying *Mad Men* and completely baffled by *The Silver Linings Playbook*. I really have to accept that tastes aren’t universal, but I so *want* them to be.
Here’s something I DO like–a video of Alice the kitten with her head stuck in a kitchen chair. It would not be funny if she hadn’t freed herself 20 minutes later, but she did so it is, so enjoy!
The reason I don’t like MM and SLP is not because they don’t have kittens in them–really.
Buy the book:
I was not impressed with Silver Lining Playbook either. I felt it was trying too hard and could not decide what it was.
I got Mad Men for Christmas and haven’t watched it yet. I will approach with caution. 🙂

Don’t be put off MM because of me–a lot of people love it. And I may yet–will report back once we’ve watched more episodes!
February 12th, 2013 at 12:27 pmYou’re actually on a list of people who don’t like the show. I have heard various critcisms regarding its plots, characters, and theme.
We are stil going to check it out though. If only to decide for ourselves.
