You think it was that deliberate? I thought it was just Don not giving a shit.

I think it was deliberate. He wants to disappear again, hence waiting until no one was around to make that call.

I also thought it was a really deliberate contrast to his sending the book at the beginning and having written the inscription at the beginning.

Oh, and aside, I loved the choice of "What'll I Do?" as the song playing as Don's luggage was delivered to the apparently deserted (at least for the moment) house.

But I'm totally with Hec-- he has to return at some point. The question is, when, exactly, and what's he going to find when he does come back?

That's why after Vidal it was called "precision" haircutting.

Did Mary Quant have one of the first Vidal cuts or was hers simply attributed to her?

They were close friends and aesthetic allies. She wasn't the first one to sport a Sassoon cut, but was one of the most prominent early adopters.

There's a really cool book about the swinging sixties in London titled Ready Steady Go with detailed backstories on all the players in Soho and Chelsea. This is back when Terrence Stamp and Michael Caine were the to It Boys of London and pulled more birds than Gene Simmons or Wilt Chamberlain could ever imagine.

It's by far the best cultural history of that time and era.

I wonder if Don doesn't think that he has anything to lose. He's not happy at work (and did we all notice that Duck's only non negotiable in the deal was that Creative reports to him), Betty won't even let him in the house. Why shouldn't he leave?

I thought Don was missing his kids when he saw the other two show up (and gave them his and Joy's room) and was calling his house to talk to them. I should have known that wouldn't be a Don move.

Roger has lost his damned mind.

I meant deliberately defacing the book - I get why he wouldn't want the phone number or address or whatever lying around, but I don't think he even noticed he was tearing out The Last Page Of A Book vs The Nearest Piece Of Paper.

I'll have to go back and watch that scene again-- I think when I first saw it, I was fixating on how easily he'd said his real name and how whoever was on the other end of the line didn't seem to be surprised to hear that name.

What I thought was kind of contrived was that he obviously opened an address book to look up the number he called. Why not just write the info in there?

Apropos of not much of anything, I think he's going to D.C.

I just went back and rewatched that scene and when it flashed on the page in his hand, I think I caught "Washington DC" scrawled across the page.
