Girls Night

Last night I had a much needed girls night out with a fellow Sex and the City (SATC) lover. The movie opened yesterday, and we both really wanted to go. We had dinner beforehand so that we could catch up and compared notes about puppy rearing among other things. We even got ourselves some vodka cranberry drinks, in a covert nod to the cosmo-without being really lame. The waitress still picked up on us and asked "like omg are you going to see SATC tonight?"

We both bought our tickets ahead of time for the big event. I thought I was maybe being a little preemptive in insisting we do this, but the time we wanted was sold out by mid-day and they decided to add another theater showing it at the same time, so I guess it wasn't a bad idea.

One of course has to take SATC with a grain of salt. It's not going to shake your world up with its deep theological meaning, but it will be great entertainment. It was also really fun to watch it in a big theater with people who are obsessed with the show, namely the three gay guys who were sitting right next to us.  You could literally feel how excited people were when the glittery HBO sign finally came up and the piano notes of Alicia Keys "New York" came on, hinting that it was finally starting.

I won't really give anything away, but there are lots of good little surprises, and it's pretty funny. It's not quite as good as the first one, simply because you can't really top the storyline of the first, but its still very good. It is much more lighthearted than the first.

Though I love the routine of hanging out with M & M on the daily, I missed getting out to do something really girly, and I had a blast. I'm definitely going to make a conscious effort to do so much more often.
