SATC
If this sequence of letters triggers some sort of meaning for you, I've officially lost all faith in humanity. One of my fellow bloggers hit the nail on the head:
"Sex and the City: The Movie. It got panned by critics, the girls all look haggard and old, and who has ordered a Cosmo since 1999? The TV show ruined a generation of single American women, and the film is about to ruin another."
I was sitting at lunch with 3 other twenty-something women yesterday and this weekend's long-awaited premier came up in discussion. "I've already bought my tickets for Friday night! I got enough for me and all my friends!" *exasperated look of orgasmic joy* Looking back, I hope my jaw didn't drop to the floor. To me, this translates: "I can't keep a steady boyfriend, but my girls will always be there. And if my girls aren't always there, at least I'll have my SATC DVD set and Carrie's wise words to get me through".
That is harsh. Even for me. But here is the irony of it all. I'm debating whether or not to Fandango my premier tickets tonight or tomorrow morning at work. I can't wait. I know a few people who have already seen screenings or previews or whatever and I'm dying to get a review. I heard it's over 2 hours. 2 hours!!! I saw them filming this shit all over NYC around the time I moved here last year. I mean, maybe I'm in it!
Now I never watched the show when it was popular. No seriously. I'm not sure what I was doing while all my female counterparts were pouring wine and having girl-time, but I surely wasn't participating. Carrie didn't make me want to start writing and the show certainly didn't make me want to move to New York. I've only seen a few episodes here and there, but now I have the urge to go out, purchase the seasons, and have a marathon. I'm totally buying in on the hype. Tomorrow I will buy our tickets online. I would say that I'll try to talk my boyfriend into going with me, but in all actuality, I bet he wants to see it too.

she's so unusual
High up on the list of things that make me happy: my sister Lindsay's uncanny inclination to remind, awaken or inform me of the fabulousness that is anything music-related. TELL ME you rocked out to this album at some point in your life.
when you were mine, i use to let you wear all of my clothes. i love you more than i did when you were mine

M I A
Apparently this past weekend took a lot out of me. I'm back from frolicking in the Hamptons. The bridge of my nose is still lobster-esque and I haven't quite mentally returned to the work week. HOWEVER, I'm trying to put my big-girl panties back on and get productive.

two words: BRODY. JENNER.
my most recent work email:
"Hello lovely ladies,
I would absolutely love if you could join us to celebrate the Women of Fashion, from *******! Samantha Ronson will be the DJ - and we have a pretty impressive celebrity RSVP list including: Brody Jenner. YES, live and in person. Its going to be the most mega-fabulous party of the season, so dress to impress!
So Meagan/Hayley - I know we've never met, but if you are as fabulous as Miss Dia says, we're going to have a blast!
Let me know if y'all can make it!
******"
DO YOU EVEN HAVE TO ASK?!? Need I remind everyone of the last party we (Meagan and myself) attended where our girl Sam Ronson was the DJ? Mid-gyration, vodka-t in hand, we were literally winking and grinning, 3 feet away from her. It was the most hysterical/desperate thing we've ever done.
more from the mouth of the south
I've recently become an advocate for the anti-smoking cause. (see a few posts below) And there was an excellent article in the Timez this morning, that examined a study on the social aspects of quitting.
"Education also played a role. Those with more education were more highly influenced by their friends, and their friends were more likely to influence them. And some social contacts were more influential than others. A spouse’s quitting was more powerful than a friend’s, and a friend’s quitting was more powerful than a sibling’s. If someone you name as a friend quits, that has more of an effect than if someone who names you as their friend quits. Co-workers had an influence only in small firms where everyone knew one another. The effects were greater among casual smokers than heavy smokers."
