Netflix


So, by now, I think everyone knows what Netflix is...the deliver to your home video service. Tom and I started up on Netflix this past winter. We have been really happy with it so far. We have watched a couple of series we missed while they were actually on TV (we are half way through season 3 of Sex and the City, which I had started to watch, but then stopped when I was too cheap for HBO!)Totally loving it. We have basically seen 1 movie and 1 TV series disc a week since we started out.

Every time I watch SATC, I can see why people get these bizarre ideas on relationships and life. While I am really loving the show, I find myself saying, so thats why XXXX (fill in name here) doesn't wear a bra when she goes out. And that's why XXXX thinks I was so young to get married. At least I get it now. While the show is fantastic, I think people need to understand this is far from reality. Sure it is fine to not be married when you are 24 like I was, but women in the mid-late 30s with no serious relationship....that just seems like a setup for a really lonely existance...with or without a cosmopolitan. And the whole lack of a bra thing...I guess if you are Sarah Jessica Parker, floating through NYC and writing a sex column, it is acceptable. But for anyone else bigger than an A cup...please, PLEASE, wear a bra when we go out together.

Hi hon-
I agree with your comments here about SATC. In addition to the 'unique' ideas of relationship, I also question the 'fashion sense' on certain characters on some episodes... I find myself asking out loud: who wears that?? And how do you walk around oh so elegantly in NYC (or any city) with high heels? While you may look very fashionable, some are just not practical.

All in all - I love the show and I am so happy the show was there to 'guide' me through my single dating life.
