My mom bets me she can pass for a 30-year-old. She’s actually 48. Y/N?

“ And apparently a lot of people watch television, and those who watch The Daily Show actually go out and buy books, which had been a rumor in book publishing for some time, but not something I was necessarily prepared to believe until I saw it in action. And that’s unique to The Daily Show. Not only is it one of the only shows that has book coverage these days in any sort of meaningful way, on the sort of late-night comedy circuit, but it actually has authors on the show. And the audience goes out and buys those books and reads them
— John Hodgman credits The Daily Show with the success of The Areas Of My Expertise. It’s true! I took a look at my bookshelf and every single non-fiction book I’ve bought over the last five years or so have been because I saw the authors on The Daily Show. I need to thank TDS for introducing me to writers like Hodgman and the super awesome Sarah Vowell, who is like my literary crush if there were such a thing.

“ There’s no one working in television or theater today who’s not influenced by… the fountainhead of this whole thing, which is “Death of a Salesman.” That’s it. And you never have to see it, just read the play and you’re like “This is it. This is everything. This is the truth about human behavior.” And it’s earlier than the show but it’s everything that I am interested in.
— Matthew Weiner. I never quite realised this until now but it seems fairly obvious once Weiner mentions it, given the thematic similarities, that Mad Men would totally be influenced by Death of a Salesman.

The October 20th Daily Show was just fantastic. Jon & Co. got really fired up about this “Real America” thing and its amazing to watch them tear it to shreds. Watch the whole episode (legally or illegally) if you can.

The Long Blondes - Giddy Stratospheres

I was pretty gutted to hear that The Long Blondes broke up today. Apparently their guitarist, Dorian Cox, suffered a stroke earlier this year and probably won’t be well enough to continue. Get well soon dude.

Farhana looks pissed because I keep taking photos of her without make-up on. This was at Nadiah’s house last night where we both valiantly attempted to study right up until we got distracted by a Project Runway re-run at 3am in which I was introduced to the cuteness that is Alison Kelly from season 3. Sadly she was eliminated (totally unfairly btw) in the episode we saw.

The Racoon Story from Calvin & Hobbes is just one of those things I can never read in public because I will cry every single time. Here’s a list of 25 Great Calvin & Hobbes Strips. Read it. C&H was always one of those strips I read as a kid that really spoke to me. It seemed to contain all of life’s answers and the older I get, the more I’m convinced that’s true.

“ If you’re a person with money and charisma and wit—a Don Draper, in other words—then your possibilities seem limitless, even though social convention keeps trying to force you into seeing one choice through until retirement and death.

The A.V. Club’s Noel Murray on this week’s episode of Mad Men, inadvertently summing up the show’s entire philosophy (via patrickcassels)

Besides Alan Sepinwall, Noel Murray is one of the most astute online reviewers I read. It’s always a pleasure to read these guys’ thoughts after an episode.

Why has no one told me about the Sons of Anarchy? This show is so fucking badass. It’s a modern day adaptation of Hamlet, except with you know, motorcycle gangs. With The Shield ending soon, I’m going to latch on to this show for my fill of violent anti-heroes and Shakespearean tragedy.
