semantics

why do you insist on the theatrics? don't disavow it, it was brilliant--you captured the perfect essence of our absurdity when you blurted "don't copy my keys!" as i went back to my place to grab something. so we have sex. big fucking deal. it couldn't have been anything greater if this is the grand deference i'm afforded. and the sex frankly wasn't memorable enough to go through this crap. maybe look me up after mom comes through on the cosmetic surgery & implants.

just heard a promotion for the "American Express Gift Card" on the radio. went something like their web site explanation:

"American Express ® Gift Cards let the people you care about get exactly what they want, wherever they want. Unlike store gift cards or certificates, American Express® Gift Cards are good in over a million places. From sushi to sporting goods to suede jackets, they’re good in the U.S. wherever American Express Cards are accepted. With prepaid amounts ranging from $25 - $500, give them to friends or family for holidays, birthdays, graduations, weddings, or just to say “thank you.”

'get exactly what they want, wherever they want'?? uh, isn't that otherwise known... as cash? who dreamed up this one?
