that losing money was far more unpleasant than winning was
I think that's a key rule, actually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Jesse, we Ned to go to Vegas together!
Though maybe I should stick to Reno. Between penny slots and cheap blackjack, I am up about $250 after my first day here.

Sad now. Nut shot guy got banned from IO9 for trolling, so I may never hear the truths straight from his keyboard...

I enjoy going to Wendover, Nevada, the cut-rate gambling den that has daily buses from the Salt Lake area. I generally come back with as much money as I went out with. I'm pretty good at $5 blackjack.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, Lee! Although the next time I'm going is in August with my usual group of women, and the flights are looking really expensive, which puts a definite damper on my desire to go to Vegas all the time. :(
I do not know this show. Is that the new thing-- Broadway to TeeVee?
Yes. Although Smash is actually about Broadway, and all the Broadway stars have the non-performer roles, which is weird. But it really is a ton of Broadway people.
Also, Audra McDonald was on Private Practice for years.

Because books.
Lee, gambling queen! I'm too chicken to play for long. Especially long enough to win anything but my money back.
Sophia, I could have sworn you were watching Smash. I think you'd like it, although it does get soapy more often than not.

I don't have audio at work--is this really a fridge magnet that orders you a pizza? Why is it in a different country????

I LOVE soaps (or loved-- mine are sadly gone)-- I had forgotten about Smash, though.
