SATC is Big

Sex and the City the movie was released over a week ago and it took me until last night to see it. I'm not watching Episode 1, Season 1 and seeing Mr. Big for the first time because off and on for 2 hours last night just wasn't enough. I took the "Match Your Man" quiz on the movie website and got paired with Mr. Big though I may have chosen an answer or two that I knew would make the answer add up to him. Anyway, the movie is not about the fake relationship I've had with Big since I saw him a few years ago but about the girls, 3 years later and the guys they've kept around.

People say the movie is long but I thought it was fine. I mean when you're used to seeing 22 minute episodes of the show, 2.25 hours can seem long but a lot had to happen and based on the way it all ended up, there isn't much room for a sequel unless a great, great script came along.

If you were a fan of the show at all, it is a MUST SEE because all of the elements that made the show so special are there. The four women who were so loved for so long, the guys we wanted them with and the drama and humor that made them all so easy to relate to them. Everyone grew up but in an interesting way. The women were in their 30s (except for Samantha) and as someone a couple of years younger and nowhere near their success or general social levels I didn't realize they would be able to mature but they did. The screenwriters did a great job of developing all of the characters and the storylines were interesting though a little predictable. The entire film wasn't predicable but there were some parts. IT was good and consistent writing though because of how true they were to everyone.

If you aren't a fan of SATC, it might be time to start renting the DVDs and taking silly online quizzes about who you belong with or who you are most like. I wanted to be most like Carrie but it seems that I'm more like Miranda.

My favorite thing was the interaction between Big and Carrie, and the love letters. You'll have to see it to know what I mean but how lovely the notion of a love letter. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."

Get Carried Away.

PS: I finished Season 1 today abandoning the things I was supposed to do with the exception of going to dinner which I actually did. It is such a great show.

Obama-Clinton

It is with a heavy-heart that I have read news websites, watched the news and received emails from the Clinton campaign over the past few days. The latest email however gave me a new hope. Hillary will state her support for the Obama campaign later this week and to quote her, "my differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans."

This is the first time I have felt that I might be able to support the other candidate and though it will be difficult to accept, it is time that the Democratic Party unites and works to fight the best fight it can.

There is still the possiblity as many have stated that Obama will choose Hillary as his running-mate and then that she will accept. I think that if they could work together as a team, we still have a chance of the ultimate vision being acheived. Whatever it takes, we need to make sure that McCain is not elected President.

If you think Hillary would be the best running mate like I do, here is action you can take right away. Go to Vote Booth; click on the petition addressed to Senator Obama and sign it.

Why are people signing this petition?
- We do not believe we will win if she is not on the ticket.
- While this is obvious to us, there is little evidence the other camp understands how critical she is to the success of the ticket.
- 2,000,000 signatures behind this idea will go far in demonstrating the power of Hillary’s support.
- Hillary must be on the ticket because it is the only way many women, seniors, Catholics, working class men and women, Hispanics, and Jewish Americans will vote for the ticket.
- Hillary must be on the ticket because she polls ahead of McCain in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan; states critical to our victory this fall.
- Hillary must be on the ticket because she wins the big states and the swing states; states the Democrats need to reach the 270 electoral votes required for success in November. States won by Hillary represent 300 electoral votes; states won by Obama represent 217.
- Hillary must be on the ticket because more Americans voted for her than for any primary candidate in history. 18,000,000 Democrats chose her to lead the country and the free world.
- Hillary must be on the ticket because it is the only way we will be willing to put our full, essential energy and effort behind the ticket between now and November.

Please forward this blog or email to others who share your commitment to Hillary on the ticket, quickly. Every signature is another ‘vote’ for Hillary on the ticket.
