An EPL machete is on order

I wasn't going to write about Eat, Pray, Love anymore but then I had a moment to read this morning. No, I still have not finished the book. I was reading The Daily Beast, when an article by Rachel Skukert called Elizabeth Gilbert's God Obsession caught my eye. Rachel has written her own memoir, also based on her travels. She describes said travel as the "Drink, Scream, Ill-Advised One-Night-Stand variety." She did not find God.

I sent Rachel a tweet to say that I loved her article. She wrote back to say thanks, and told me that I had to watch this video immediately. Hence, the machete. 

Lewis Black Protests Eat, Pray, Love.

[The New York Times must not like me, so it's not letting me upload the video directly. Please click on the link above.]

If I were to write my own memoir, I think I would like QVC to honor the film version by hawking bottles of Two Buck Chuck, pairs of black Converse, and used burp cloths.

I like to eat. I don't pray. Love is everwhere around me

I think Rachel Skukert is my kind of girl.

I concur with Cheryl- I just went and read her article and am waiting for the video to load on my computer.

If I were you, I'd just skip a few words on each page, and call it good. You won't be missing much at all....

I don't always comment but FYI this is the only blog I've ever followed. You rock my socks, Michele. You're a crack up, and I love your links. Keep it up!

My hairdresser had a great line. Someone asked him if he'd read Eat Pray Love, and he said, "I don't do any of those things. But if someone writes a book called Sleep Drink Shit, I'm there."
