Jon Hamm in Mad Men



Jon Hamm is quite possibly one of the sexiest men alive. Deciding to finally put Mad Men: Season 1 in my NetFlix cue, I started watching the season from the beginning last Sunday. I was instantly hooked. The show is amazing in every sense (great storylines, developed characters, cool era, etc.), and have I mentioned that Jon Hamm is quite possibly one of the sexiest men alive?


Just looking at a picture of him, one might say Yeah, he's sexy, but not at the top of my list. Fortunately, just looking at him isn't what makes him hot. It's his entire being- his swagger, the way he smokes his cigarette (the show is in the 50s - give me a break), his voice, the way he speaks... he's just.... smooth. Both in real life (since we hang out all the time) and in the show.
Daaaayyyyyyuuuummmmmm.
Love it.

I'm getting a little too excited about all of this. Bottom line, even if you don't find him attractive (and boys, let's just be honest, you know you want to be him)- you should definitely watch the show from the beginning. It's SO GOOD. Can't wait for disc 3 to arrive.



Are you hiring any new secretaries anytime soon?
ugh. PERFECTION. I LOVE BEARDS!!!!

Elephant LOVE

If you know me at all, you know that I'm obsessed with elephants. I really can't get over it. And at a level unlike any other animal (except maybe golden-doodles), the babies are so cute I can hardly stand it. They're like little cute, fuzzy, alien mutants that I want to squeeze uncontrollably. 
Newborn elephants already weigh more than most full-grown humans -- but the newest addition to Australia's Melbourne Zoo is a giant even by those standards.

A baby male calf was born this month at an already-robust 315 pounds. Compare that to the typical 200- to 250-pound baby elephant, and you can start to feel really bad for the mother that carried him around for 22 months. 

You bet your uterus -- elephant pregnancies last nearly two years. TWO YEARS.



"Little Man," as the zoo refers to the baby, has already been out and about. He joins six other elephants at the zoo, including his half sister Mali (which means one thing: mom is a total slut). 
Watch as he trots around and slaps some guy in the nuts several times with a trunk of his own.

UGH! I want one!



Story of My Life.

Sometimes I'm the the one with the goatee, sometimes I'm the bearded bear with the hoodie. Depends on the week.

Why Doesn't Oprah Ever Call Me?

Oprah Winfrey surprised her audience on Monday’s season 25 premiere with an all-expenses-paid trip to Australia. Australian taxpayers were stunned to find out Tuesday that Oprah isn’t footing the bill; they are. 

The trip is estimated to cost taxpayers $3 million dollars. Granted this comes as a plan from the Australian Tourism Board. The Board claims that they have spent millions to attract more tourists to visit Australia, and believe Oprah coming there will give them much needed publicity. 

Oprah will be taking 300 audience members on the trip and will film the finale at the SydneyOpera House to be renamed Sydney Oprah House for the finale



UGH NOT FAIR! Oprah, you're out of control.
