I think that Sex and the City is the new equalizer. Sure it's kind of an American thing, and quite obviously a NYC thing, but its greater subtexts of women and their issues (good and bad) transcend the country barrier. I say this because I am about to have a Sex and the City marathon with friends this evening. I honestly feel like I am about to see an old friend because I haven't seen a single Sex and the City scene since I got here. It's also really hard to rent the DVD's here. But my friends, crossing the ocean gap between us, all appreciate the glory that is this show.
I will watch and be reminded how all my friends have a piece of the various characters in them. The relationships will seem all so familiar and I will feel whole with Sex and the City on TV and a Cosmo in my hand. And I am beginning to worry this is unhealthy. :)
I have decided to start relating it to CDs. You know when I think of junior high, I think of Salt n Pepa and that genre of music as well as, interestingly enough, Weezer, the blue album. Early uni years reek of ghetto booty music. Shoop and You Can Call Me Al will always make me think of sorority formals and parties(and of course Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar on Me!!). Sex and the City will always remind me of my friends. So I challenge you to say that makes it unhealthy! :) Sex and the City - we reunite tonight!
