eagerly anticipating Mad Men

I really like the show Mad Men, and I'm excited that it's coming back on. One thing that I like more than Mad Men, though, is Heather Havrilesky. Heather is a TV reviewer for Salon, and I totally love her writing. Very snarky:

"...life with responsibilities is just like one of those mazes made of bushes they put in British gardens for self-hating Brits to torture themselves with. One minute you think you're strolling along at a leisurely pace like the heroine of a Jane Austen novel, the next minute you're confused, bleeding, sobbing and covered in thorny brambles, and the last five hours are a complete blank. That, and you're surrounded by dirty laundry, hungry children, resentful domesticated animals and a drunk stranger who claims to be your spouse."

I especially love the notion that domesticated animals would resent you. She must have cats.
