This weekend was great!

We were home! Saturday was the Croatian party which was a really nice time. Low-key with yummy food and of course great people. Sunday I finally got my lazy day. We stayed in, ate leftover baklava and veggie curry I had made Friday, played some WoW (looks like I'm back into it after an absence), read some Watchmen (yeah I waited until the movie is about to come out, lame I know). Question: are there any happy comics? And wrote a couple of lectures. It was very relaxing.

Currently I'm proctoring my midterm. Probably not the best idea to be posting while proctoring, but there are only 9 of them, they're writing essays, and I can see all of them from my table. (Plus I brought in some leftover baklava so their brain would have plenty of glucose.) Grading fun tonight!

Some notes on media:

1. The 2nd season of Mad Men is shaping up to be just as awesome as the 1st. I still want all the clothes (but none of the angst). Highly recommended.

2. After Mad Men they are reshowing Breaking Bad which I caught a few episodes of this spring. It took me 2-3 episodes to get into it but it became quite compelling. One of the most original stories I've seen on television. Recommended.

3. <3 <3 <3 for The Middleman!!! Seriously, you should really check it out. It plays on ABC Family (just ignore the commercials) on Monday nights at 10pm here. If you don't want to do that you can get it from the ABC Family website (free) or from iTunes. Love love love!!! Very highly recommended.

4. I've been watching Due South for the first time during my lunch breaks. (Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kassrachel for the tip on finding the entire series cheap.)
oh you guys! It's so sweet. I just LOVE them. Plot silliness aside, Benny and Ray and the dog! Awwww. It's just a whole cute love fest set in dirty Chicago streets. I want to have babies and name them Benny and Ray. <3

God, isn't Mad Men continuing to be so fantastic?? So freaking good.

Also, yay, Due South! LOVE LOVE LOVE! You should continue to post about how much you love it as you watch. *g* I love to see people discover how awesome that show is.
