Drinking like Mad Women at work

The women of Double X magazine try to work while drinking as much as the guys from Mad Men. Their findings: drunk ideas are never as good as they seem, and liquor makes meetings much more fun.

We drink like this everyday in the Linebreak office. Or would, if Linebreak had an office. (via Kottke)

O’Hara poem in Mad Men

A YouTube clip of that espisode from Mad Men where Don Draper reads from Frank ‘O Hara’s book Meditations in an Emergency. The reading is from the last section of “Mayakovsky.”

I can’t count the number of times I’ve watched this episode, this season, this show.
