This will be a new segment (although probably rare) where I point out celebrities being cool. Now the two celebrities I have for you today are already fine in my book, and I've never had, nor see me ever having qualms with these two. They seem genuinely nice, and now apparently I want to hang out with them ASAP:
Jenna Fischer: Yep, the once receptionist now sales(wo)man for Dunder Mifflin apparently 1) plays board games with her husband, and 2) loves Carcassonne! I already thought of her to be awesome when she posted a large blog entry to help people starting out in the showbiz industry, but this takes the river.
Jenna plays with Meeples!Mila Kunis: The nagging girlfriend from
That 70's Show and Jason Segal's love interest in
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, apparently plays Settlers of Catan.
That isn't what impresses me though, when she described it as "a mixture of Risk and Monopoly" to which the interviewer asks "Like the old version of Axis and Allies?" Mila then freaks and says "Yes, exactly! Oh, my gosh!" So she 1) knows of Axis and Allies, and 2) has at least played it enough to know how great it is.
She knows that Infantry roll 2's for defense.Kudos, ladies. I'm ready for both games whenever you are.
As for you other celebs, do something cool in public, and I'll congratulate you here on my blog that nobody reads. Pretty exciting, ay?
-a.
