just in case you need a distraction...

so, sandy told me about this. it's mindy kaling's blog. mindy kaling is one of the writers on _the office_ (she also plays kelly in the show, the chatty one who dates ryan the temp).

the blog is called "things i've bought that i love" and it's basically about stuff she's purchased with her disposable income, since she's young and unmarried and has an awesome job. she's a total girly girl, and a lot of the posts are about cosmetics or clothes or accessories. now, i know what you're thinking -- you're wondering what i could possibly find redeeming in a blog written by a girl who spends all of her time in NYC or LA and spends a lot of cash on girly stuff. but let me just say, kaling is hilarious! and i want to be friends with her!

also, she's got some other writers along for the ride, and while kaling posts most, the other posts by contributors about things they've bought that they love are good, too.

enjoy!
