\"Amy<\/p>\n

How great is Amy Poehler\u2019s podcast Good Hang<\/a>? Her recent interviews with Mindy Kaling and Matt Damon brought out so many gems. I loved hearing about their odd jobs before acting and all the behind-the-scenes intel. Remember this chilling scene<\/a> in The Talented Mr. Ripley<\/a>? \u201cI hated [Philip Seymour Hoffman] so much that day,\u201d says Matt Damon. \u201cIt was like a fucking Marvel superhero coming out of him. And he sucked me right into it\u2026 And we liked each other! You know what I mean? But that was not, that was not in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I got a salon pedicure the other day for the first time in\u2026years? I was in a hurry, so I chose Fast Track Cherry<\/a> by Dazzle Dry \u2014 and it turned out to be such<\/em> a gorgeous color, highly recommend. (I also love this pink<\/a>.) Readers have recommended Dazzle Dry for years and years;\u00a0thank you so much for the tip.<\/p>\n

\"Rony<\/p>\n

My friend Rony just got an \u201cempty-nester dog,\u201d as she calls her, and her name is\u2026wait for this\u2026Miss California 2025!!! How freaking cute is that? \u201cI\u2019m not usually a dog person,\u201d Rony told me, \u201cbut I\u2019m in love<\/em> with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"anton<\/p>\n

Anton\u2019s deep thought, after seeing an old friend who\u2019d had a major growth spurt: \u201cBro, this is the only time in life where you don\u2019t see a friend for six months and suddenly they have like a beard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, every couple years<\/a>, I refresh my underwear drawer with 12 new pairs, instead of suffering with the old ratty ones. Well, I just did this with Stripe & Stare multipacks<\/a> (aka the \u201cworld\u2019s comfiest knickers\u201d), and they feel SO GOOD. I went for black<\/a>, sand<\/a>, and, just for fun, neon<\/a>!<\/p>\n

What about you? What have you been enjoying lately?<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. More fun things<\/a>, and a funny way to choose a book<\/a>.<\/p>\n
