in case you were wondering...

i couldn't help but wonder...

so it's a week and a day until the SATC movie premieres. a week and a day that might as well be a year and a month. with the exception of the confessions tour CD+DVD, it's been a VERY long time since i've been this excited about a movie. sure after spending a whole day watching the extended versions of the first two LOTR movies, i was beside myself with anticipation to see "the return of the king". and sure the long awaited simpsons movie came out last summer. but it doesn't compare to the growing feelings of excitement and anticipation i'm feeling right now. excitement may not be the right word here. like, my heads gonna explode i can't wait for this damn movie to start.

i first fell in love with SATC watching the end of a season 3 marathon on HBO. i immediately logged onto amazon to get what i needed: the 1st season DVDs. i really don't know what it was about these stupid white bitches that i loved so much. maybe it was their shiny hair and flawless makeup. maybe it was their manolos and slutty ways. it's not like i identified with them or even liked them. there was just something about the show, a certain je nais se quoi. fascination won the best of me.

for a number of reasons, i'm feeling like this is a low point in my life. my boss is unbearable, my good friend moved to spain, accumulating too many dateless saturday nights to count...there are few things that are keeping my spirits up.

madonna in oakland, piano, keeks, my new camera and this movie. sounds like the perfect prozac to me.

oh, and if you were wondering, i'm a miranda.

i'm MsMonis and i approve this message.

there's still one gentleman left in the city...

if you've been to the burger king in civic center you know it sees it's fair share of less than desirable clientele. but today there was at least one guy there that was surely raised right by his mama.

we were both headed to the exit and he stepped in front of me, not to be a jerk and exit first, but to open the door. surprised, i smiled and thanked him.

i'm sure this type of thing happens often. i'm sure in the south it happens every time a woman walks through a door. but why did it stick out in my mind so much? was it the neighborhood? venue? the fact that men rarely hold the door open for me? (except keeks, thanks to his militant gentelmanly ways.)

it's not even a big thing. he held the door open for me. big whoop. it's not like i can't do it. it's not like i expect it to be done for me. i've lived the greater part of my life hating everyone and believing that, quite simply, people suck. but there was something in that small gesture that made an otherwise unbearable day not so damn soul-sucking. i'm not recording an album or on the set of the new ricky gervais comedy, but at least for that moment i wasn't invisible.

so thank you fine sir in the yellow snow jacket. thanks for inspiring this post.
