\"kaling.cover.jpg\"\nYesterday I was going to change up my commute to pass by a bookstore, so that I could check out Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)<\/em> by Mindy Kaling. Tweeps and blogs like SNL<\/a>, Vulture<\/a>, Splitsider<\/a> and ShelfLife<\/a> were agog over the cuteness of her floral, pink-sweatered, wry-mouthed book cover. Given her writing background<\/a> and popularity as a tweeter, I imagined that physically flipping through a copy would offer some kind of quirky comedy contact high.Then I read that her book doesn’t come out until November, which made me sort of feel like how I do when I see ads for Sonic and TCBY<\/a> despite never having seen either one in person (do they really exist?). Except worse because I don’t have to wait long for frozen yogurt.<\/p>\n\n

Kaling described her book as short essays, comedy pieces and pictures, and earlier gave its title as The Contents of My Purse<\/em>, according to Movieline<\/a>. I think the current title better reflects the kind of personal insecurity that people sympathize with and find humorous in her tweets<\/a> and in person<\/a> like on last week’s Letterman show.<\/p>\n\n
