The journey begins

So, inspired by Experts and Intermediates, I've decided to conduct my own Sex and the City experiment. I've acquired my own copies of season 3 and the movie and I'm about to sit down and start watching. It's a bit later than I wanted to start but no matter, I'm going to kill several episodes tonight.

First, as any good experiment, I should address the pre-experiment situation and any biases I may have.

I've never watched sex and the city. I think I caught like 5 minutes of one episode back in 2001 or so when Josh was watching, but that's about it. Looking at the cover of the box set, I'll say that SJP is still really not good looking. I can't get it out of my head. I also think Kim Catrel is pretty ugly and apparently I have to see her naked a bunch. I'll fight thru it. Also on the cover are two other women. I don't know who they are. The brunette is very pretty; the redhead kinda has a serious face on that doesn't make much sense.

And I expect the show to be firmly directed toward women; not me. BUUTTT, i really like romantic comedies and those are directed toward women too, but maybe this will work for me. And I like women's fashion. I wish my fashion sense was better for myself--I can usually tell what looks good on women, but me, i can't seem to dress myself. Mom trained me well for her kind, but not mine.

Also, i know that a lot of women watch this as a communal thing and they talk about their experiences and how much this show is like them. I don't think i'm going to get that watching it alone.

finally, i hear there are a lot of bad puns. I hope that's not a problem.

Alright. time to procure some caffeine and then on with the show. more to follow.
