I have been sequestered at home for the past two days with a kidney infection. It's been pretty bad - today I felt a real sense of accomplishment that I was able to put on pants when the delivery guy rang the bell. It's rendered me pretty much incapacitated (walking huuuurts), so I've had lots of time to cruise the internet and get caught up on a lot of link-clicking I'd generally have to skip. And I have to say, OMG! People I know are totally awesome and doing awesome shit that makes me feel sort of lame for being so lazy and not living up to my potential!
Should you find yourself bedridden by a kidney infection (or bad sushi) or just have some free time and want an awesome way to entertain yourself, please, check out my awesome friends and acquaintances (in no particular order):
1) I went to high school with Mandi. My memory is, in general, pretty vague and unreliable but I think we had yearbook together at one point and had a pretty fun time. Anyway, Mandi is now poised to become a hugely famous and successful author. I can't wait to name drop. Please check out her blog, and shortly, her book, The Crantz Chronicles.
2) I work with Lauren. She moved to NYC from Alabama and is just a doll. She's so sweet and, as it turns out, way talented! She collaborated on this wicked catchy tune with a friend of hers (whose music I am really digging).
3) My boyfriend left on Monday for Russia (which, admittedly, has made the past two days suck that much more). He's acting with his company, Studio Six, in a major international theater festival. NYC representing in Moscow! Take a look, feel proud to be an American, have flashbacks of "Rocky IV"!
4) My other co-worker/pal, Jen, just did a review for a graphic novel that made me want to read more graphic novels.
Also, one of my best friends just finished the first chapter in a book he's been working on for a while now (not yet available for public consumption). He also somehow finds time to do an amazing Song of the Day blog that is always entertaining (email him to sign up, it's awesome!).
Cheers to all the amazing people in my life who inspire me/make me feel like a lazy bastard on a daily basis! xoxo
