Have you lost the pulse of pop culture? Me too, but I'm pretending I'm on it. Things I'm loving right now:
- Ben Folds, who we saw perform with the Spokane Symphony on Sunday at The Fox. So fun! So much orchestration! And I loved the disjointed crowd - the dressy symphony season ticket holders, intermingled with the uber casual Ben Folds fans pleading for Folds to "Rock this bitch!"
- The September Issue - holy cow, what a cool insider's view of the life of Vogue, Anna Wintour and her insanely far-reaching influence over the world of fashion, and the Creative Director, Grace Coddington, who's more of a free-spirited artist in the commercial world. It's really great. My brain can't even contain all of that fashion.
- Mad Men, Mad Men, Mad Men. Beautiful, quiet, informative, heartbreaking, often hilarious. Keep your eyes out for riding lawnmowers - not for indoor use.
- Where the Wild Things Are - it looks perfect, the music is great, the characters are developed and believable and sad and funny. For what it's worth, I think it really captures the destructive yet cuddly yet angry yet loving yet stubborn yet dependent nature of boyhood like nothing else I've seen. Of course I'm an outsider when it comes to boyhood, but from what I've observed, this movie really nails it.

Don't get mad, but I'm bored with Mad Men! Is that okay? I'm tired of Don Draper! And his whiny wife.
I'm not mad, just disappointed. In you. Just kidding, I don't care. I'm kinda fascinated by all of the weird Don/Betty stuff. Plus, she's got the best clothes out of all of them. But they haven't done nearly as many stories on the younger office people lately. Where's Joan?? Where's Cosgrove? Pete and Peggy were barely in the last one I saw. Maybe this week?
