My Girly Shows...
Oct. 18th, 2008 10:16 pmInstead of doing the AGHAST - the Annual Gowanus Artists Studio Tour - Wales and I just wandered about, sat and watched folks in a small park and sat outside our local bar and drink a Margahrita. It was lovely out today, about 59 degrees, clear sky. And the places we went to were more or less deserted - because everyone was wandering about AGHAST.
So not in the mood to deal with people today, was feeling rather brittle after a difficult and exhausting work week in which very little went the way I wanted it to. My patience was more or less gone by the end of it. So a nice worry-free, relaxing, do-nothing but wander aimlessly with a friend was in offing. We did lunch first - which was a couple of scrawny mussels in great garlic wine sauce, and lots of french fries. Then bought gelatos and brazailan nuts coated in chocolat.
Afterwards, I came home, made supper, and watched the film version - Sex in the City - which I adored more than I expected. Didn't realize until halfway through how much Carrie reminds me of my pal Wales, Sam is a dead ringer for CW, well a white version of CW. And Charlott..ah, known so many Charlott's and Miranda's. I'm not like any of them but I know them all. Also the fact that we more or less did the bars, the clubs, the chatter, and well, not the men (if only) and certainly not the clothes (are you kidding me?) - had a sort of nostalgia. I'm Carrie's age in the film - 40. Although SJP is actually closer to 45. So there's that as well. And it is comforting in a way, fluffy, a fairy tale for adults or the adult version of Cinderella without all the stupid housework. At any rate, I cried at the end and laughed in the middle and smiled. Highly recommend to all my 40-something gal pals.
(Guys? I think should skip this one, definitely a woman's movie.)
After reading my flist, the newspapers, seeing the outtakes, and discussing with friends - have come to the conclusion that skipping the last Presidential Debate was an inspired idea on my part. Project Runway was much better, so was Pushing Daisies for that matter.
( Discussing Project Runway, because discussing Politics is too frustrating and makes me want to do and say nasty things )
