In the vacuum left by the season finale of Mad Men<\/a>, the Fortress Mamea inhabitants have been at a bit of a loose end. We enjoyed a fling with Better Off Ted<\/a>, had our injections with Nurse Jackie<\/a>, but they too have gone the way of Mad Men<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I’m at a similar place with my slate. Having reached my writing objectives for the year, I’m now trying to raise my film and TV viewing stats (59 finishes and 33 walk-\/turn-offs to date, compared to 2008’s 94 and 19, respectively), as well as my reading stats (there’s a gaping hole from July to September that I don’t think I can make up for).
