If you’re brave or dumb enough to follow my Twitter, you know I have the bad habit of bitching about Saturday Night Live every time a new episode airs.

I Dreamed a Dream Mad Men Would Be
Happy March, folks! I don’t dream very often. Perhaps I do and simply don’t remember them. Perhaps my waking insanity is enough to satisfy my subconscious.
