@MindyKaling
If you are as much of a Mindy Kaling fan as I am....meaning you religiously watch The Mindy Project, occasional episodes of The Office, that means you were able to finish her overly hilarious book in a few short days. I couldn't help to read the book and have a voiceover in my head of her reading it.

If you haven't had the chance to read it yet....I'll give you a sneak peak with some of my favorite excerpts from the book!
1. [about Pierce Brosnan]: "He is manly and glistening, and I remember this one point very clearly: he has a thick swatch of chest hair. It was a minor sexual awakening. During Mrs. Doubtfire. Not a move often cited for its idealized depiction of traditional masculinity."
2. "Nothing says impenetrability and closeness like a silk-screened T-shirt with an acronym most people don't understand."
3. "It's the same mysterious and powerful hatred that reared its head later in life for other things, like hiking, orientation games, and having to watch any kind of pageant whatsoever."
4. [About Jewish mothers]: "Hey look. I know you talk to your mom twice a day on the phone, and I talk to my mom only once a day. That doesn't mean your mom beats my mom. Also, I know your mom is an amazing cook. I feel like you think my mom cooked us Hamburger Helper growing up."
5. "A charismatic and almost incomprehensible Frence stylist took me to a trailer filled with gowns. It was like walking through Saddam Hussein's niece's closet. Organza, tulle, silk filled the trailer from floor to ceiling; rhinestones and feathers were everywhere."

The Carrie Diaries
Who else but Carrie Bradshaw could rock a DIY nail polish splattered expensive cross body, to a mixed matched outfit that could only be found in the real world at a high end thrift shop that nobody knows about? While watching the pilot for this new series last night, I couldn't help but admire how AnnaSophia Robb picked up on some of SJP's expressions and body language. For all the SATC addicts (aka, like me) this show has everything and more! -- the gossip, the solid group of friends, the attraction to the ultimate 'bad boy', the exposure to homoerotic lifestyles and city night life!

Why blog? What makes you so different, Rachel?
Better yet why not? At this point, after getting my feet wet (read: second attempt at blogging), advice from bloggers I admire, and some googling here 'n there I decided I should keep on truckin'.
Still in the process of regaining my HTML knowledge since my myspace layout designer days are in the past (the fourth grade...) Sadly, I was a part of the minimal percent that desired to become myspace famous while rebelling against my parents, aka deleting my 'www.myspace.com' history every time I logged off the computer.
This blog is going to be faaar from perfect, but it is going to be me.
Let's get it started, shall we?
