The Frat Party - The Mindy Project

by Liz Heather in

This episode of The Mindy Project is for sure my favourite episode of the first season. If you haven't seen any episodes, this is maybe a good sample to start on. Why am I sharing this? In honor of this fine lady's birthday that happened yesterday. 

Best parts of the 'sode?

  • The introduction of the new nurse Tamara.
  • "This is why I love him - he looks like the villain in a National Lampoon movie, but he's not. He's, like, into Haiti." 
  •  "You know what would cheer you up?" "McDonald's."
  • "Oh, ok... I get it. It's to make the party more difficult." 
  •  "This lil' sonofabitch aside."
  •  "You look ridiculous and you smell terrible." "I look fine and smell legit."
  • "Holy cow, did you see that?" 
  • Morgan's impression of Danny. 
  • "I don't where I end and he begins." 

Ike Barinholtz is perfect. Lord love him.  Such a great episode. 

Floating Hammock Bath Tub

by Liz Heather in

Just woah. Check it.

"The Vessel, a floating hammock styled bath tub made from carbon fibre by Splinter Works, provides you the most relaxing form of relaxing. Designed for use in a wet room, Vessel is suspended from the walls and does not touch the floor. It is fixed with stainless steel brackets that can be covered over, or left revealed. The bath is filled using a floor standing tap and the waste water released through the base into a floor drain."

Overheard In New York

Once in awhile, this site has some real gems. I don't read it as often as I used to - why? Not really a concrete reason, there are just too many good sites to remember.  

Here are some of my favourites from over the years:
