NO NEED FOR A TITLE

The best Friday nights are the Friday nights that are entirely unplanned and completely spontaneous. After a quick week at work, I met up with Duane, Becky, Kasia and Trevor at Wings on Granville Street, followed by adventures at the Commodore Lanes and Movieland Arcade. Becky did a much more thorough job on filling the readers in on what we did – and she’s got pictures too! Head on over to her blog for your viewing pleasure.

Tonight all the cool kids will be celebrating Becky’s birthday with Mexican cuisine on Denman Street, though I have to depart early due to my hot date with Michael Bublé. I’m terribly excited about 2008 because I have so much to look forward to with my new friend. In only a few short weeks, we’re hitting up Mount Washington for a couple days of riding, so look for us on the slopes!

Being that the Sex and the City movie is merely months away, and Santa brought me the last three parts to make my DVD set complete, I have spent the last two weeks recapping what is one of my personal favourite shows. I am quite sure it’s something I could never tire of. I know that many people, mainly men, give the show a lot of flack about being too unrealistic or too “girlie” or just plain stupid. While I won’t argue that a lot of it is fantasty (how can a girl who writes a weekly column live in a stellar $750 Manhattan apartment and own $40,000 worth of Manolo Blahniks?), but the root of the show transcends the glittery frosting.

At the core of the fab four is the central theme of love and relationships: the love we have for others and the love that we have for ourselves. And as women, many of the ideals and examinations this show produces speaks as something entirely relevant.

However, with the show having come to a close only to be re-invented in silver screen form, I have a few questions…

  • Now that we know Mr. Big’s name is ‘John,’ will Carrie still refer to him as Mr. Big or will it now be “me and John…”?

  • The girls didn’t “work” when Carrie moved to Paris, so will it still work with Samantha now living in LA? I am going to chalk this up to Smith’s faaaabulous movie career and presume that’s why she moved.

  • Mr. Big was less-than-favourable with Samantha, Charlotte and particularly Miranda – is it going to be buddy-buddy central between them all now?

  • Does it not seem odd to anyone else that Miranda and Steve’s son’s name is, technically speaking, Brady Brady?

  • We’ve all seen screenshots of the production and it’s no secret that Carrie’s wearing a wedding dress. Will they tie the knot or won’t they? Any predictions? I’m not sure my heart can take any more Big and Carrie drama.

    • And for the record, any man who is willing to watch this show either for the sake or his woman or in the name of knowing a little bit more about the fairer sex, you have my full applause…

    The best nights out are always usually the ones unplanned!! :)

    And assuming that today is Rebecca’s birthday and that’s why your going out tonight, happy birthday, (which i leave on your page too..lol), as it’s mine as well :)

    I still need to buy the last season of SATC, but I’m ridiculously excited about the movie, so I guess I better get on that.

    “how can a girl who writes a weekly column live in a stellar $750 Manhattan apartment and own $40,000 worth of Manolo Blahniks?”
