This week, I took a day trip to NYC and read a book by one of my favorite New Yorkers – Tina Fey. Her new book Bossypants is awesomely hilarious and entertaining. I have been a fan of Saturday Night Live since high school, and can even admit to owning SNL Trivial Pursuit, which I know makes me very cool. Therefore it is no surprise that I would purchase and fall in love with this book which made me laugh out loud.
Now I will highlight the parallels in Tina’s life and mine:
· Tina: Went to the University of Virginia. Me: From Virginia, but likely not smart enough to attend UVA. But I was smart enough not to apply and find out.
· Tina: Moved to Chicago after college. ME TOO!

| My Tina Fey impression is not as good as her Sarah Palin. |
· Tina: Was a member of the famous and cool Second City Theater improv troupe. Me: Was a non-contributing member of an unsuccessful college sketch comedy group.
· Tina: Stars in and produces an Emmy Award winning TV show. Me: Is a cog in a machine that makes TV commercials. We are both in “the business.”
· Tina: Defined Geek Chic with her librarian glasses look. Me: Convinced my mom and an optometrist at the mall that I needed glasses in ’01 because I got headaches from reading. I do not need glasses. I think I was either reading in the dark or hungover. Tricked you again, science!
So far, Tina is beating me in life. But I have perfect vision – so I can see she is beating me. I bet she doesn’t even know.
