Deep Thought: Be like Tina

At 9:30 p.m. Thursday I was doing what every good girl should be doing at 9:30 p.m. on a Thursday: pounding the elliptical machine at the gym.

(Bikini Challenge, folks. Seriously. I'm on it.)

Anyway, NBC's comedy 30 Rock was playing on the elliptical's attached television. Love this show, written by and starring current everywhere woman Tina Fey: her character is 30-something, writerly, and neurotic....with great legs. Last night she hooked up with a United Nations operative (Peter Dinklage).....whom she meets on a street corner when she approaches and ruffles his hair, maternally, thinking he's a child.

He could be offended. He's not. He responds thusly: (and approximately....hey, I was ellipticalling pretty hard...)

"Should we get a cup of coffee? Aggressive women with a touch of nerdiness are a complete turn-on."
And off they go for coffee.

Hmmmm.... who else do I know that is 30-something, writerly, neurotic, (by some standard) nerdy, and (by some standard) has great legs?

You got it. Time to get aggressive.
