Mad Men

In honor of Mad Men Season 4 starting tonight, I thought I would dedicate this post to our favorite advertising executives and all things Mad Men. I’ve stumbled across so many articles this past week about the wonderful show and thought I would share. Enjoy!

Permission to Judge

It’s a common fact that when you list things like favorite music, favorite television shows, or all-time favorite movies, people are bound to judge you. Heck, I do it! BUT I thought it might be fun to share some of my favorite TV shows in hopes that you’ll share yours and give me recommendations! So here they are:

and last but not least…

[From the top: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mad Men, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, and Seinfeld.]

Of course I have my guilty pleasures that I can share (and be embarrassed in another post). What are YOUR all-time favorite shows?

What’s On TV?

What’s on television tonight? I don’t know. Wait, actually I do know. All the time. We got rid of cable this year and now I have a love/hate relationship with television. Most of the shows that I watched are available on Hulu.com now but lately I’ve had a hard time interacting with others on Twitter after 7 o’clock in the evening. It’s either #greys, #americanidol, #LOST, #thebachelor, etc. What I’ve been seeing has really changed the way I view Twitter and how I want to present myself as someone with a Twitter account.

Here are some of my new Twitter standards and implementations:

- I cut down 300 people that I had been following. Reasons included : location, lack of tweeting, and tweeters who do not interact (ever).

- I’ll try not to tweet about random happenings throughout my day and instead start aiming at sharing links and interacting with others.

- I won’t automatically follow someone back. I need to look at what their purpose is on Twitter via their timeline and followers.

- I’ll be scheduling tweets via Postling.com. Often, I want to share articles or blog posts throughout the day but I can no longer consistently tweet while at work.

- If I don’t have something nice to tweet, don’t tweet anything at all.
