Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I haven’t written much today because I have been absolutely consumed with Mad Men! What a fantastic show. I love every minute of it and thanks to the wonderfulness of netflix, I can watch all four seasons at my leisure. Netflix is seriously the best thing ever and if you don’t have it…WHY? I think we are actually going to get rid of our cable and just use Netflix. Netflix is great but not the point of my post! Mad Men is such a great show for so many reasons. The amount of taboo topics, cigarette smoking and drinking is delicious! Don Draper is in a league all his own. Amazing! Betty..How gorgeous and miserable and Joan, what a beauty! Peter is a snake and I totally knew Peggy was pregnant! I am just beginning season two and I cannot wait to see where the storyline goes. Things were so different then yet so similar. The amount of sexual harassment at the work place is just disgusting but yet the men totally rely on the women for everything. I cant even fathom a time when you drank and smoked on the job and the amount of affairs is just alarming BUT, with that said, Betty is the typical bored housewife, the marriages are actually kind of loving in their dysfunction and they do a hell of a job at work. Talk about commitment! Don Draper could sell me ice in Alaska! I think I will write a separate post about how the wives are treated and how in someways, life back then is better than life now. I cant now because I have more to watch
