That lady with the bald eagle and the fox is the best, especially since her cat is apparently named Suitcase. Good name.

I keep visiting New York at the wrong times aka this weekend instead of next next Tuesday. I don't even know what to do there this weekend! Bummer.

Apparently some people were upset that some Hunger Games characters were black: http://jezebel.com/5896408/racist-hunger-games-fans-dont-care-how-much-money-the-movie-made

Super late, but more dancing: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1h6q1pYDJ1qju80b.gif

Yeah, he lost a lot of weight and looked pretty fashionable at the party, moreso than the SCDP guys, I think. I don't know. Maybe he does coke now or something. So LA.

Yeah, it seemed like he was hiding something at the party (saying "Jennifer's at home" almost as many times as we're told that Don didn't like the party) and went way too into detail with Roger about the effect Megan's dance had on his post-party plans with Jennifer. Definitely something wrong there.

Also, I think Roger's especially desperate after the Lucky Strike fallout, which is why he fell for Pete's 6am meeting trick. He wants to be seen as valuable and is clinging onto the good reputation his name has, but he's struggling and trying to appear like he's not.

I think I missed when Harry Crane went from being, like, a decent guy to sexual harasser extraordinaire. I know it started in the last episode of Season 4 with the Carolyn Jones business, but he was super annoying in this episode. I wonder what his deal is now.

Not sure why the 311 release isn't notable.

Apparently Noah Baumbach wrote the screenplay for the new Madagascar, so maybe your wish will be granted (no it won't, but maybe (no it won't)).

Hope this doesn't sound too whatever (obviously you are the one writing for Stereogum and I am the one commenting on Stereogum), but I liked this column much more this week than I did in the last two weeks. It seemed like there was a common thread throughout the piece (the influence of ghosts and religious imagery on School of Seven Bells), and the writing was less 'let's make every sentence sound like part of a press release' and was much more readable as a result. Most of all, it got me interested in listening to the new School of Seven Bells record. Thanks for writing it.

Season 1 is fine. Season 2 is fine too, but they really ratcheted up the melodrama in it. I mean, talking werewolves?

I watched some behind-the-scenes thing about Downton Abbey and Laura Carmichael (who plays Edith) said that the cast and crew would always say "Poor Edith" whenever she... does anything, really. But yeah, poor Edith :(

I mean, you're right that Cheap Girls isn't the most original band ever, and I definitely appreciate that albums like Interstellar and Visions are pushing things forward, but Cheap Girls just nails that '90s college radio rock (or whatever you'd call it) sound so well that I think they're worth a listen.

I would also like to know what happened exactly. The death's obviously sad no matter what, but if he died of natural causes, I will probably plunge into a fun spiral of "I HAVE TWO YEARS LEFT TO LIVE! WHAT HAVE I ACCOMPLISHED?!" for a few days.

The new Cheap Girls record came out this week too. Listen to Cheap Girls, y'all.

And I also figured April would break his mug anyway because that seems like a thing she would do, I guess?

I started watching the Office again recently and I feel like it's been funnier than it has been in a couple of years. Last night's episode almost made me laugh as much as Season 2/3 the Office. Granted, I feel more indifference about what happens plot-wise in the Office now than I did then (or than I do now with Parks and Rec, where I really hope Leslie wins that city council seat), but still, laughing is nice.

Wow, I didn't catch that the mug was a Duke Silver mug at all. I was too busy laughing at Andy's comment about how tea is gross.

Roseanne/older sitcoms are a good idea. Part of me really wants to watch Cheers, because I saw the pilot for that recently and thought it was kind of great! But I don't know, that's a lot of TV to watch.

I think Peep Show is available on Hulu too, like for free and stuff, so you don't even need Netflix to watch it (hi guys).

I like Downton Abbey a lot, but I'd be more interested in seeing a show for the first time rather than seeing it again, even if the show has more layers upon a second viewing. But I am but one monster.

Can we watch The Wire, or has everyone else here already watched The Wire? Or maybe Misfits.

Really? I don't think most people who protest new Walmarts are doing it from an elitist standpoint. I think they're worried that local businesses will close as a result of Walmart moving in, and also about how bad Walmart's wages are for workers (probably worse than the wages given by local businesses). I'm also going to go out on a limb and say that Walmart execs aren't putting a Walmart in downtown Athens because they want to help those in poverty. The Athens area (I am not from there but know people who are/were) already has two Walmarts a little outside city limits. This one is a bigger deal because it will be located downtown, very close to loved local businesses that might shut down as a result of Walmart's cheaper prices (though I guess accessible to people downtown who don't have a car). Two seems enough for me. I remember going to school in a poorer part of the country and taking the bus to Walmart to buy school supplies - there was a bus system in the area, and one of the bus lines went right to Walmart's front door. There are probably similar buses in Athens to get to the other two Walmarts. Walmart has its place, but the oversaturation is unnecessary and bad for everyone, I think. I guess I'm assuming some things here, but I think there are a lot of factors involved and it's hard to make a blanket statement like you made without thinking about it a little more.
