Last night's Mad Men's episode was pretty great. Betty had a health scare and she's gained quite a bit of weight. She seems to be a little calmed down since her news about her health. Pete might take over Roger's job hopefully not. I mean I like Pete's character but he can be arrogant at times, and I like how they hired a new secretary named Dawn. So, they have finally learned diversity in the workplace. Kudos to Matthew Weiner on that part, and I saw the preview for the next episode and Roger asked Peggy what she was doing tonight. Could it be an affair between the two that would be interesting. I don't think Peggy would go for it although she did have a one time fling with Duck Philips. (Ewww) I think season five is getting off to a good start, and the creator said the series will have two more seasons left.  I love time period dramas, but this and Boardwalk Empire, are on the top of my list. If you missed Sunday's episode, it's on Demand now. If your viewing my page don't be scared to leave a comment. Don't worry, I'm friendly. Catch Mad Men every Sunday night at 10/9c on AMC.

 There were many movies that I wanted to see this new year, but The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is the one that I was anticipating. When I saw the trailer for it earlier on I immediately read the book, and I fell in love with Lisbeth's character, her personality, and everything from how she dressed, to how she handles herself. Rooney Mara did an excellent performance in her breakout role, the novel is so detailed, and I couldn't put it down. This novel was probably the best thriller/mysteries I have every read. It was very  detailed, and entertaining from start to finish, and I can't wait to read the second one. I will do my best not to do any spoilers. This story is about a girl named Lisbeth Salander she has piercings, tattoos, and she is short and skinny. Her personality can be a little confusing at times, her character went through a lot. She is a strong independent woman, and she's been taking care of herself almost her whole life. She is hired to work with  Mikael Blomkvist played by Daniel Craig, and I thought he did a great job playing him. In the book the author describes him is a man who gets women easy, or a womanizer but later in the story we learn more about him. Daniel Craig is a perfect choice because he's yummy to look at, and the book describes him as good looking. So Lisbeth and Blomkvist work together on a case about a missing girl, and they are trying to find her killer. I give this movie a 10/10 because it's just so great, and the cinematography was just gorgeous. The tone is very dark, so if you are looking for an escape I suggest MI 4 with Tom Cruise, and in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo there are a few scenes that some of you may find unpleasant. If you have read the books, then you are prepared for those grotesque scenes, Lisbeth is an interesting character. The things that her and Blomkvist go through are pretty amazing so I'll leave it at that.  Feel free to leave a comment about what you thought of the movie, but please no spoilers for those who haven't seen it. Rooney Mara went through a huge transformation I hope she gets awards for that. Here's a pic of Lisbeth.



Well things have been going very well for me. I was let go of my job but that's ok because I have better things to aspire to. I'll be starting college in two weeks!! Super excited, and I've decided to finish out my psych degree and then study education when I go on grad school. I have a test in a week in a half and I feel more confident about it. This is the busiest summer I've ever had! Working, hanging out with friends and I'm supposedly dating a new guy. I met him at a friend's birthday party. He's a really nice guy, and I like him a lot but I'm trying really hard not to fall too quickly. I have to stay focused on what I need to do to make myself better. We've been on a few dates and they've been nice so far we have a lot in common. I have never felt so balanced as I do now I'm moving forward with my education and I hopefully will have a new job lining up. I want to work at the library as a library assistant and that would be quite lovely. But I feel like things will be opening up for me finally. I'm learning not to take myself too seriously and that life can be fun and full well my cup is over flowing right now. I've traveled a lot this summer more than usual I had a chance to go to the beach which was super fun. I'm learning to stay optimistic come what may and I feel more comfortable with myself and I feel more connected. It took me a long time to get to this point of contentment it was a lot of transformations but it's making me stronger. When it comes to relationships I hadn't planed on being in one but I guess the universe has bigger plans. I'm just gonna enjoy the situation and see how far it goes and if doesn't I'll live.
