My Dream Job

The Television Without Pity creators have just announced that they'll be leaving the site next week. I feel a little weird about how upset this news made me. Like bordering on devastated. But then part of me feels like it's completely justified. I really, truly fear for what will become of TWoP when Wing Chun and Sars are gone and it is entirely at the mercy of Bravo.

This whole thing is also forcing me to return to dwelling on the fact that that was certainly the career I would have loved to have had (geez, what tense was that sentence?). Why didn't I spend my time in high school and college honing my writing skills? I know I'm not ridiculously funny, but I feel like I'm just wry enough that if I were a better writer, I could be doing some reasonable TWoP recaps. Why wasn't I out there on the internet writing clever stuff the whole time I was in college? I certainly could have parlayed that into a TV "journalist" of some kind, couldn't I have? Damn me and my inability to recognize anything I like before it's too late.
