Leah. It has been TWO AND ONE-HALF YEARS since David and I started dating, and that was a full six months AFTER I said he had moronic tendencies with a streak of idiot. Just to put things in some sort of time perspective for you since you are obviously on LaLa time, I will remind you that 2.5 years ago you were going to come back to New York because you hadn’t gotten anything but a commercial and had a car that was falling apart and hated your waitress job. And 2.5 weeks ago, you e-mailed and asked if you could sleep on my couch because you were definitely coming back to NY. So let’s see—now you’ve made TWO national commercials, have a car that is falling apart, and quit your job waiting tables so you can be a soccer mom. Okay, I will concede that the soccer mom thing sounds pretty cool, altho I don’t get why a bunch of soccer moms would have a war, but whatever. You have scenes and lines and get face time with huge Hollywood stars! AND you get a new car! But if this doesn’t lead somewhere, you really ought to come back. We have to shop for bridesmaid dresses.
You know I can’t come to NY before we film. But I will when we wrap, I promise. Did I tell you about Trudy? She’s hysterical—we worked together a couple of years ago. Trudy got a speaking role, too, and best of all, she is on my side in the war!!! You’d like her, Luce—she’s got dark brown hair and brown eyes and one of the stunt coordinators is already calling us Yin and Yang, because we’re the same height but, duh, I have blond hair and blue eyes. The only difference is that Yin got a boob job since I last saw her, and let’s just sat Yang is fairly jealous of her perfect breasts. In fact, I was looking around the other day and decided I am about the only one in all of L.A. who has not gotten a boob job yet. Do you think I need one? Be honest!
P.S. I loved the new 4 Doors Around CD. Have you heard it?

Get your ass back to L.A. These women are driving us nuts. Jesus, Raney, do you have any idea what you got us into with this movie? I know, I know, you thought twenty or so mostly available women was a gift from the gods, but I don’t think you took into account how much twenty some-odd women can talk. They talk all the damn time, and I do mean all the damn time, and all at once, too, and it doesn’t matter, because somehow, they can hear each other through all that chatter. And don’t even get me started on the cell phones. We put a ban on cell phones but no one cares. They don’t listen to us. They just take the call like they aren’t on a job or time isn’t money and then the next thing you know, they are telling everyone around them whatever the person on the other end of the line said, and then our whole drill goes down the tubes. It’s just damn chaos around here, and we’re all remembering that this film was YOUR brilliant idea, even if you did have to draw the straw to lead the volcano hike in Costa Rica (how convenient). So when are you going to be back? I’ve got a little surprise for you.
