Period dramas are all the rage these days. Whether it’s a look at an aristocratic British family of the 1910′s, a tale of a male-dominated advertising industry in the 1960′s, or a story about hipster skanks in Brooklyn of the early 2010′s, TV shows set in a familiar yet somewhat strange world are becoming increasingly popular.

I bought a dog. I love my dog, but so far I haven’t settled on a name for him yet. I’ve been putting it off, since he doesn’t exactly come when he’s called anyway, but it’s something I should probably do sooner rather than later.
