The Gina Chronicles
Episode #1: Chips Gina comes home from a serving shift at the restaurant. It was a shitty shift. All she wants is a puff on a joint and a vodka soda. as she goes to grab her stash, she finds another stash…Claudio has hidden Doritos in the club soda box. Gina: Damn you Claudio! You know I'm trying to not eat anything “bad”. She walks away from the box and continues about making her drink. She sits down finally and too exhausted to roll a joint she sparks up a roach she has kept nearby. Gina: (as she inhales and exhales) Ahhhhh that's what I'm talking about. As she lets the whiz khalifa do it's thing she decides to watch an episode of Anthony Bourdain's “Parts Unknown”. Not a good choice…of course it's showing all these delicious looking foods. Gina: Damn you Anthony Bourdain! Now I'm hungry… She remembers the Doritos Claudio has hidden. Gina: I will NOT open those chips. I have discipline. I can do this. She takes a sip of her drink and few more drags off the roach. Her mind drifts back to those Doritos. (close up on the bag in the soda box) Gina: No you can't. It will be disastrous. It's not even a small bag, it's the family size Don't do it. You will hate yourself in the morning. Drink your vodka soda..it's healthier and way less calories. She takes a big sip of her drink, turns her attention back to Bourdain's show…within seconds she's again thinking about those Doritos. Her conscious is yelling at her, “Don't do it…” Suddenly she leaps up from her seat and bolts for the Doritos like it's the last thing she will ever eat. She grabs the Doritos and rips it open…pauses and says out loud… Gina: I'll just have 5 chips. That's all. That's not that bad right? She takes 5 chips out and goes back to where she is sitting. But the lure of the Doritos is too much. She kills those delicious morsels in seconds. Again her inner self is saying NOOOOO Don't do it!!!. It's too late, she's opened pandora's box. She gets up and grabs the bag and brings it back to where she is sitting. These Doritos don't stand a chance. She's going in deep and fast. Pretty soon her fingers are coated in that oh so addictive powdered “nacho cheese” and she licks them with sheer bliss. Gina: Ahhhh so bad but ohhhhh soooooooo good. (Beat). Damn it, now I'm gonna have to workout twice as hard tomorrow. Fuck! I hate working out more than I hate dieting. This is all Claudio's fault. Grrrrr, if he wasn't so sweet I'd kill him.
