There was a guy in HSNL talking about how people with a lot of money spend their time watching TV shows and they aren't creating anything blah blah blah. Fuck that guy. I do a little bit of everything, and one of those things is watch superb TV. Which I THOUGHT Mad Men was, until..

Fucking Don just goes off the deep end in the very last episode of season four and marries his fucking secretary (while he's dating someone else) even though they don't show any special connection between the two, just that Don sees that she's good with his kids. Don says all this bullshit about how often he's been thinking about her and how much he loves her and blah blah blah. Are you fucking serious? Don almost makes sense every once in a while and then he just goes off the deep end. Logic evades this show pretty frequently. Characters seem to be inconsistent. Also the entire last episode is like a season or a half a season packed into one thing where he's going to Cali and bringing the kids and obviously psycho cunt ex wife is doing crazy shit like firing the nanny and wishing she had Don back then he's in Cali with his secretary (lol? that was the best idea you could come up with Don?) then he's getting wedding ring then he's fucking magically back in his apartment and she's there and he's watching her sleep for a few hours (no big deal Don you're not a creep) and professing his love and OBV she's all about it as if we didn't know that already and then they're just in love and getting married and that's it. That's the episode. Seems like 6 episodes, but they do it in 30 minutes. Magic. Took the show from probably about a B+ for me to a C or something. Not even a little excited for S5, even though I'll watch it, show could've been so much better if it would've been more Don bossing it up and less Don in a bunch of random relationships where he just wants to tell anything he's near that he loves it so he can fuck it. I don't get it this chick with the tilting as fuck teeth was DTF without a relationship and so he loves her? WTF.

Things have been going well for me. I'm in Vegas, I really like it here. Good food, good gym, good basketball, good weather (compared to the midwest anyways). I have SICK blackout curtains the length of these very high windows so I can sleep forever. It's nearly pitch in my room during the day with a southern wall.
I'm still getting fat. I'm up to 180 or something, probably half of the 10-15 pounds I've gained is fat, but I'm crushing lifts and beasting along in general. Excited to feel stronger in the gym everyday. Finally squatting well-- I bought some weightlifting shoes and they've done wonders for my confidence (I still have a bum ankle and I couldn't get good depth-- the heel in the shoe and the grip was exactly what I needed). I'm still making some linear gains on all exercises except shoulder, press, though it'll usually take me two workouts to go up for bench.
The Bears are terrible without Cutler. Holy shit they're bad. I tried to watch a little today, it was a waste, I couldn't sit through it. Hanie has been bad, but the playcalling for him seems even worse. I am going to make the playoffs in a few of my fantasy leagues but honestly the NBA can't come soon enough.
I wish I had more exciting updates, but my life has been consumed with lifting/reading/madmen/eating the sweets that people got me for my birthday. Maybe I'll have something interesting to report after I play WPT 5 Diamond this week.
