More on Mindy:
Continued from last time:
3.b. More Mindy on Colin: I tried to find this tweet/related photo about Mindy watching Bridget Jones with her pals for my original post re. Mindy and Colin but I had difficulties. I found renewed strength while watching a lecture about gluconeogenesis today and found the link! Here is the tweet (a "RT", as they say):
Watching Bridget Jones with my bffs. "Nice boys don't kiss like that." "Yes they fucking do."yfrog.com/kg5e8vkj
It's so beautiful! In the accompanying photo, Mindy and her two besties (from college!) are snuggled under a microplush throw (a worthy purchase by the way; warmth without the weight!) ready to enjoy the Greatest Chick Flick of Our Time. What a great group activity! My mom and I have watched it together multiple times (ie, any time it pops up on TBS).
Stuff about Mindy that homies have sent me that I enjoy:
c. Red Band Trailer with Mindy Kaling (Red Band Trailer):
Mindy makes lots of fun and interesting points (Diablo doesn't really. But she did write Juno so I guess we can forgive her.). But what I'd really like to point out is that Mindy is sporting a pair of bamboo earrings!
There was a time in February when I really wanted bamboo hoop earrings. I informed my pals of this desire and I received a lot of lukewarm responses, ranging from "Okay..." to "Sounds tacky." Some also expressed concern that my earlobes could become targets should I engage in some sort of physical altercation. I don't think I have ever tried to physically overpower someone (perhaps due to my "shrimpy" nature) but were I to throw caution and 22 years of nonviolence to the wind, I would certainly pull a Snooki and hand my doorknockers to J-Woww before leaping into the fray. Despite the lackluster response, my enthusiasm for bamboo hoops remained undimmed.
As with any serious project, I did my research. A quick Google search informed me that the earrings were more popularly described as "doorknockers" or "basketball wives' earrings". That didn't quite match up to my platonic ideal. I craved the fluidity of say, Elsa Peretti studs, but for more of a Claire's price point. However, I did not wish to perish due to some sort of base metal poisoning, so ix-nay on Claire's. There were these really awesome ones from Nordstrom (that have been following me around the web every since, thanks Google Ads!) but they were more than a bit on the pricey side. I had pretty much given up hope, but lo, when I was taking a post-class break in Urban Outfitters, I found these! They are a mere $14! I think the smaller shoots, burnished silver color, and non-shoulder-brushing size make them an excellent choice. I purchased them, along with a dress that-- upon recent re-inspection-- looks like a rug. Perhaps I'll return said dress, but the earrings are so fun! They are a bit tacky but that's part of their wonderfulness! Soon enough we'll be in the Professional World and these will be no longer an option (unless you are that kind of Professional).
