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.

My sister, who lives in the room next to me, has only seen a handful of Sex and the City eps. Which is extra WTF considering I watched all these eps with my mom when they first aired. *shakes head*

Not only is everyone white in Manhattan, everyone is rich, unless there's a Plot Reason for them to be poor. Sadly enough though, thanks to my experiences in my line of work, Upper Class Manhattanites tend to be very much WASPs and do tend to stick together.

But the girls of Sex and the City lived in an alterna!Manhattan, hell, they never took public transportation ever and wore some clothing that could get you thrown in a pysch ward (or wait, am I just thinking of Carrie?)
