I continued my re-visiting of celebrity memoirs in audio-book form by listening to Tina Fey’s Bossypants and it was a delight. Tina Fey is one of my favorite humans and 30 Rock is one of my favorite TV shows. As I write this my husband and I are watching the series finale following what was most likely our 15th or 16th re-watch.* We probably couldn’t go a whole day without dropping at least one 30 Rock line.** I seriously considered having this whole review just being 30 Rock gifs but I […]
A really boring review about a really funny book.

It’s always a breath of fresh air to have an intelligent woman talk to/at you for 4-6 hours about funny little anecdotes that may or may not carry some underlying lesson about the world. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have […]
