Man Shops Globe

The Sundance Channel show Man Shops Globe about the buyer for Anthropologie is really engaging. I thought it would be more uptight and stuffy but Keith's suprisringly down to earth. Although it's quite funny how he is so price-consious! When I was in the Durham store last, I spied a cabinet from England for $20k! I wonder what he paid...

Louis Theroux

Meet Louis Theroux, my fave British TV presenter. He's the son of the afore-blogged Paul Theroux and a charming guy. I first stumbled across him when I was living in the UK and soaking up BBC.

He does interesting documentaries, mostly about weird people , places and subcultures in the US.
He hosts the engaging and scary The Most Hated Family in America about the boneheads over at Westboro Baptist Church, available in 8 parts on YouTube.

There, ahem, might be a body of his work floating around on the internets for download but you didn't hear it from me.

Weekend

If you need me Saturday, I'll be hunkered down catching up on season 2 of Mad Men to prep for Sunday's premiere of season 3.

Better Late Than Never

I've been on a serious Mad Men binge lately. I'd seen a few eps here and there but over the last week I've watched the entire season on DVD. It's such a well-written, carefully crafted show.

Plus, the fashion, furniture and sets are just so swank.
