Keeping it Simple

I subscribe to a number of magazines– Selling Power, Cooking Light (I think this must be a gift subscription since I have no recollection of ever requesting it), Vogue, W, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Style, etc… It’s come to a point where I can barely keep up with them. I have a foot high stack of magazines up in my loft that are unread. Do I just toss them or try to read them? I don’t know. I have gotten through the latest issue of Vogue. Gwyneth Paltrow is on the cover and the interview with her just made me want to beat her. She talks about how she keeps things simple. It must be very easy to keep things simple when you have a cook, personal trainer and nanny to help. It’s my fault. I don’t know why I read the article. I find that what doesn’t anger me puts me in a state of fear, anxiety and/or panic. I want to turn off, tune everything out and just drop out.

    You’re supposed to turn ON, tune IN, and drop out. And it’s not just you. Everything that Gwyneth Paltrow says and does annoys everyone. She’s a daughter of privilege. She doesn’t know what complicated is. It’s out of her realm of experience. She’s on a different plane. Brad Pitt wasn’t good enough for her. She named her kid “Apple.”

    Yeah, yeah … Gwyneth is kind of a kook, but she made a great Pepper Potts … surprisingly.

    Although, Pepper Isn’t a character with a lot of depth. And I guess that was your whole point, Audra.

    So …

    ummm,

    “IRON MAN!
    IRON MAN!
    IRON MAN!”
