This defines my idea of the perfect relationship.

Lunchables is doing the cutest “Keep the Smiles Coming” ad campaign right now, with the goal of donating one million pounds of fruit to food banks around the country. After a great dinner at ABC Kitchen, my friend and I discovered a giant Lunchables screen on 18th Street between Park and Broadway. You pose, the software places a piece of fruit (one of 3) on your head/face and if you take the photo and submit it to the Lunchables site, it donates 10 pounds of fruit! It also emails the photo to you, so that you can…oh, say…use it as your Facebook profile shot. SO FUN. DO IT!
Murfee’s Law? I called it first, man…
Where were these kinds of handsome gents when we were at Princeton, Kelly? Nevertheless, this girl will keep dreaming of the day…

“Thiel isn’t totally alone in the first part of his education bubble assertion. It used to be a given that a college education was always worth the investment– even if you had to take out student loans to get one. But over the last year, as unemployment hovers around double digits, the cost of universities soars and kids graduate and move back home with their parents, the once-heretical question of whether education is worth the exorbitant price has started to be re-examined even by the most hard-core members of American intelligensia.
Making matters worse was a 2005 President George W. Bush decree that student loan debt is the one thing you can’t wriggle away from by declaring personal bankruptcy, says Thiel. “It’s actually worse than a bad mortgage,” he says. “You have to get rid of the future you wanted to pay off all the debt from the fancy school that was supposed to give you that future.”
But Thiel’s issues with education run even deeper. He thinks it’s fundamentally wrong for a society to pin people’s best hope for a better life on something that is by definition exclusionary. “If Harvard were really the best education, if it makes that much of a difference, why not franchise it so more people can attend? Why not create 100 Harvard affiliates?” he says. “It’s something about the scarcity and the status. In education your value depends on other people failing. Whenever Darwinism is invoked it’s usually a justification for doing something mean. It’s a way to ignore that people are falling through the cracks, because you pretend that if they could just go to Harvard, they’d be fine. Maybe that’s not true.”

As I’ve raved before, “Anything Goes” is a spectacular show—it may even be the best production I’ve ever seen on Broadway. Tonight my friend Cathy and I went for the second time in as many weeks to see our new favorite. In addition to excellent production quality on every level, this show has an incredible cast, and marks the Broadway debut of my childhood schoolmate, Kevin.
Not even a full year out of college, Kevin is already partnering in showstopping dance numbers with Sutton Foster in this Roundabout Production…the dream doesn’t get any bigger than that.
There’s something so satisfying and reassuring about good things happening to good people…it sort of takes the fear out of life.
Here’s wishing Kevin many broken legs and a career as bright as its debut.
Ms. Poehler and Ms. Fey have been friends since their Chicago days. “She’s the same way back then as she is now,” Ms. Poehler said, “which is really, really funny and incredibly hard-working and a very supportive and loyal friend. But she was a lot less rich. That was the only difference: she was like 100 percent less rich.
