On Second Thought

Maybe I won't labor my thoughts about that ludicrous debate I mentioned in my last post. It's just that I'm so exhausted of it--that and the fact that almost everything I want to say will end up offending Jennifer Weiner. I doubt Jennifer Weiner reads my blog. I doubt anyone who reads Jennifer Weiner reads my blog, actually. But just to be safe, I'd rather not inadvertently make a name for myself as yet another female writer who simply stated her opinion and somehow in the process, had that action misconstrued as an attack on Jennifer Weiner and therefore, the entire chick-lit genre and most women in general.

To those of you who could give a fuck about the chick-lit debate; I apologize, as that paragraph likely meant nothing to you.

Maybe what you really want to know is more about what it's like to live and work in Vegas, yeah? Well, I'll tell ya. I'm not twenty-one anymore--as I proved on Monday night when after a classy dinner at Il Mulino in the Forum, Matt and I headed for the neighborhood locale of Last Call and proceeded to consume mass quantities of Bud Light over multiple hands of video poker. Yeah, that was just me acting twenty-one. Thirty kicked in the next morning.

Oh man, I want to hear this debate! Because you know, I've seen some people getting all het up over hoo-ha. No one's getting killed here, so why not just get over it. What I love--and this goes way beyond Jennifer Weiner--is when you say you disagree with something that Jane Doe and 10,000 people jump on you from a great height because Jane Doe is PUBLISHED, didn't you know, and so everything she thinks about--from which brand of toilet paper to buy to how to light cigarettes correctly--MUST be gospel and who do you think you are for even daring to believe differently?

Jesus. Get a grip.

Speaking of grips, how's that video poker going? It's just not the same without a handle to pull. But then, pushing buttons can be fun ;-)

I'm in total agreement about the book stuff, G. And I've come to the conclusion that gambling is a "losing" endeavor.
