January 5: The Paul Rudd Type

I do a lot of things in the city to break up the monotony of every day living. (Spoiler alert: a 9-to-5 job is still a 9-to-5 job whether you're in New York City or Lubbock, Texas). I took an acting class and ended up sitting next to a very pleasant fellow. The dressed-up-hipster type who wore a vest. We were given dialogue sides and though we all scribbled notes, I saw he wrote "Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann" on his.

It seemed fairly clairvoyant because the dialogue was exactly something out of a Judd Apatow movie that would star those two, but then I also noticed that he bore a striking resemblance to Paul Rudd as well. I'm guessing that Paul Rudd is his hero and that he could incorporate Paul Rudd into everything, including himself.

It was a little endearing because I imagined this guy going home to a room of ripped-out posters of Paul Rudd from Teen Beat taped by his bed and daily affirmations of Paul Rudd quotes on his bathroom mirror. Guys deserve crushes just like girls! I admit I have a Stephen Colbert corner in my own room. And come on, who doesn't like Paul Rudd?
