Opting for anonymity (proclaiming only that you could call her Slip), she decreed

"You know, I need a f---ing vacation."

When asked if there was a specific impetus for such a delcaration, she sited work, homelife, health, and ABC's entire 2002 Fall Line-up. "Work, in a word, blows, I find myself doing all the dishes and all the apartment cleaning, I feel a cold coming on, and for the love of all things holy, if ABC thinks that John Ritter is going to save the network, they might want to get started on filing for bankrupcy."

Television notwithstanding, the woman claimed that she also needs to get out of the city. "I need to get out of my head," she said, "but nothing short of a lot of recreational drugs will help with that, and since I'm broke, a trip to distant lands will have to suffice."

When asked where she planned on going, she mentioned that her options were limited to Yorba Linda, the Target in Culver City, or possibly Vegas. "That all depends of course," she went on to qualify, "on whether or not '8 Simple Rules' gets cancelled next week, or the week after."
