M.I.A - Bad Girls

I liked The Mindy Project a lot, a lot, a lot. The fact that this song recurred throughout is the cherry on top of a great pilot. Also: “Into Occupy stuff”.

(Dispatch From The Common Area: I am locked out of my bedroom because I cleverly forgot my keys and the security guard is not on duty yet to let me in. But I just watched the trailer for this and it was great!)

As long as I get to see Mindy Kaling on my television this fall, I am a happy camper.

People come up to me often and say, “Oh, you’re friends with  Mindy, it’s so amazing. What’s she really like?” I take pride in not  telling them because I’m very possessive of you. But in the book, you  come through loud and clear, and a lot of people are going to feel close  to you. So, do you have any regrets about betraying your best friends  that way?Well, I’m glad you don’t tell them about the time I threw some trash on a homeless person that I thought was a pile of garbage.
[Laughs] Oh my God! That really did happen, and the  fact that you never told anyone that is amazing. If you did that, I  would tweet that out to everybody.

Until I was 30, I dated only boys. I’ll tell you  why: Men scared the sh*t out of me. Men know what they want. Men own  alarm clocks. Men sleep on a mattress that isn’t on the floor. Men buy  new shampoo instead of adding water to a nearly empty bottle of shampoo.  Men make reservations. Men go in for a kiss without giving you some  long preamble about how they’re thinking of kissing you. Men wear  clothes that have never been worn by anyone else before. 
OK, maybe men aren’t exactly like this. But this is what  I’ve cobbled together from the handful of men I know or know of, ranging  from Heathcliff Huxtable to Theodore Roosevelt to my dad. The point:  Men know what they want, and that is scary. 
What I was used to was boys. 
Boys are adorable. Boys trail off their sentences in an appealing  way. Boys get haircuts from their roommate, who “totally knows how to  cut hair.” Boys can pack up their whole life and move to Brooklyn for a  gig if they need to. Boys have “gigs.” Boys are broke. And when they do  have money, they spend it on a trip to Colorado to see a music festival.  Boys can talk for hours with you in a diner at three in the morning  because they don’t have regular work hours. But they suck to date when  you turn 30.
