I am still without home net access due to the tiny niggling fact of my internet company being hit by lightning and them being therefore unable to access my account to process the change of address. I think God hates my internet connection. In the barren, netless interim before NTL get their act together, I'm catching up on TV shows. Somehow, I've got to the point where there are only 25 classic Who stories I haven't seen. Oh, and I've watched two-and-a-bit seasons of Sex and the City in about three days - no, I hadn't seen it before, yes, I'm aware that I'm a freak, and I haven't seen 24 or The West Wing or CSI either (or Supernatural, Prison Break, beyond episode 2 of BSG...) I'm enjoying it in a very masochistic way, in that I like Samantha and Miranda but if I knew the other two in real life I'd gnaw off my own legs to get away, and at least every other episode I find myself wondering why absolutely everyone in Manhattan is white.

Your mind, it does not deceive you. There really were lesbians. Honest. Charlotte hung out with a pack of power lesbians in one episode, and Miranda's boss or co-worker (working on an erroneous assumption) tried to set her up with a lesbian in another, and Samantha ... well, Samantha's quite the adventurer in the bedroom. Don't want to spoil too much for Doyle here, just in case she actually wants to watch the rest of it.

And I'm just a little embarrassed that I know all this stuff. But I have a good excuse: one of my very best friends in all the world absolutely loved the show and kind of forced me to watch it when I visited her. Y'see, she pretty much lived that show. She was an thirtysomething fashion-obsessed single professional woman living on Manhattan's Upper West Side and trying to navigate the Manhattan dating scene. She knows those girls. Many times she was one of those girls.

wooyay lesbians! i am pleased. i actually enjoyed the show in a brain candy sort of way, and i really -thought- there had been lesbians. in fact, i thought there had been more lesbians there than there are in a lot of other shows. and it seems that i was correct! thank you :)

Well, there were, but Carrie and company made such a fuss about their being lesbians/bisexuals that you'd think they'd never met one in their lives. Gay men seemed to elicit less of an "OMG!" factor.
