I finally had time today to catch up on my blog subscriptions, and rather than making this blog all-Ellen, all-the-time, I thought I’d share some of my favorite posts as of late:
Grace Boyle on Inspiration: When It Hits the Brain, It Feels So Good
Laura Kimball on Fear: Fear is a Four-Letter Word
Beth Oppenheim on making the most of Saturday & Sunday: Everybody’s Working for the Weekend
Sarah Bray’s Series (be sure to read all 5 parts!) on changing your online image: How to Change People’s Minds About You
If you’re a fan of contemporary interior design/architecture magazines like Dwell, I’d strongly suggest you head over to Unhappy Hipsters.
And on a random tangent…
Maybe this is old news to everyone else, but I just found out that a movie about the founding of Facebook called The Social Network is currently in production and being directed by none other than David Fincher (of Fight Club fame). Justin Timberlake is cast as Sean Parker, the co-founder of Napster who apparently caused some turmoil amongst the Facebook crowd. I started contemplating who I’d cast to direct and star in a movie of my life (not that I’ve done anything to merit a film….yet).
The Mom: Glenn Close
The Sister: Scarlett Johannson
The Friends: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Connelly, Katherine Heigl
The Boy: James McAvoy
The Shrink: Helen Mirren
The Psycho Roommate: Leighton Meester
Yours Truly: Zooey Deschanel
Director: Quentin Tarantino
If you’re up to the challenge, I’d love to hear who you’d cast to star in the movie of your life…personal or professional (e.g. you have an office crew that rivals that of The Office…or Wall Street).
