Things I’ve Encountered That I Like

{ Picture thanks to Diana King }

Recently helped coordinate a shoot and interview for Mindy Kaling for Audrey Magazine’s Winter cover. My girl crush on Mindy grew as I learned more about this accomplished writer-performer who became a theater wunderkind at only 24 and an executive-producer on the hit NBC comedy at only 32.

She’s also a blogger (I know, as if girl didn’t have enough on her plate) and shares hilarious musings of things she likes on this blog.

In honor of Mindy, I’m sharing some of the stuff I like.

Cool art. It’s Van Gogh’s Starry Night all done with different-colored brushes.

Thanks to one of my Chinatown gals, I got to enjoy the uber-exclusive Club 33. Rubbed shoulders with Mickey and Pluto too.

Just a reminder that the (lovably) idiotic Janice is still here! I accidentally took one of those restaurant beepers home. It wouldn’t stop beeping.

Doesn’t this just bring a smile to your face?

Be sure to purchase your copy of Mindy’s winter issue here.

Buffing It Out At The Wi Spa

“I’m a dirty, dirty girl.”

I thought this to myself as I watched flecks of my own skin roll off my arms and legs.

I’m at Wi Spa, getting the ultimate Korean Spa treatment. Have you heard of it? Are you ready to hear about it?

‘Cause it can sound like a porno film.

Or a cooking show on how to boil a chicken (I’ll explain later).

Doing Nothing

I am not a big fan of doing nothing. I always feel like I’m wasting time when I have a couple of hours free. I feel like I should be doing something.

But today, circumstances (of the physically ill kind) forced me into doing nothing all day.

Well, not nothing. I did catch up on How I Met Your Mother (how did I not know they already started showing new episodes a month ago?) and various other television shows. I took a much-needed afternoon nap to get over my fever. I chit-chatted with my camera and my lovely family overseas. That’s quite a lot now that I think about it.

When you do nothing for one day, it makes you take a step back and think about how life is going on with or without you in the rat race. Yes, the dishes do need cleaning and the bills need to be paid and the meeting needs to be had but when you’re not there for a day, does it really matter that much?

Doing nothing is something to sing about.

Now I will sleep early and hopefully feel rejuvenated and refreshed for more work through the days!
