You know, I don't remember much of this past month or so. I know I've been working. I know I've been going places and doing things. I know I dyed my hair blue again. I know my sister moved to Newfoundland with her boyfriend. I know I read some books and some of them were good. I rode the bus a lot. I learned how to make honey cake. I saw Sex and the City 2 (without having seen the show or the first movie) and was duly horrified. I got a new tattoo. I started thinking about grad school. I wrote stuff. I reread the perks of being a wallflower. I reread Boy Meets Boy. I ate cake made with expired eggs. I played Sociables. I played Scrabble. I played at being a grownup and then ruined it all by sticking safety pins in my ears in a fit of nostalgia.

That's all, really.

Oh! And I introduced Little Brother to the Tim Gunn version of "Closer."

He appreciated it.

It PAINS me to think that you were introduced to Sex and the City through that horrible horrible movie. The show, while still materialistic, is not nearly as bad and really quite entertaining!

That is what people have told me! The movie may have ruined me for the show forever, though- every time I see the chick who plays Samantha all I can hear is "CONDOMS. THESE ARE CONDOMS. I HAVE SEX."

Also: all the burqa jokes! The show is lighter on those, I trust? And maybe lighter on the mind-boggling ignorance regarding other cultures in general?

I couldn't BELIEVE how racist the movie was. I was actually flabbergasted. Definitely none of that in the show! The movie also took every small characteristic of the show and blew it majorly out of proportion... CRAZY FASHION! UNCHECKED MATERIALISM! SAMANTHA ONLY SPEAKS SEX-ESE! Also WE KNOW GAY PEOPLE! Oh, and here's some BARE MALE ASS! Ugh.

The WE KNOW GAY PEOPLE thing was one of the best parts. Stuff I now know all gay people like: Liza Minelli, choirs, talking about cheating on your husband-to-be ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, swans. Informative!
