work work and then more work

I have turned into a very sad person who's day is divided into three sections
1. sleep
2. work
3. evening commitments

I seem to eat dinner at home about once a week and wash dishes about as often (I am horrified with myself at this). I am almost seeing my parents more often than when I was actually living at home!

Anyway when I get free evenings (rare as they are) I have started watching the entire series of Sex and the City. (oh and is my mum is horrified...)

It sort of transpired when I watched the second movie and decided I really did not know the story that well. It just so happens that my local DVD store has a 8 DVDs for R99 special on at the moment so it is pretty easy to afford them! And what I have concluded is that the strength of the show is not that the represent all women between the 4 main characters but rather that the represent every women with all four characters.

Women have MOODS. and depending on the day the week the month the age and the weather these moods chance and so we women identify with Carrie/Miranda/Samantha/Charlotte.

Some days I am neurotic and arty and I am Carrie
Some days i am career motivated and strong willed and I am Miranda
Some days I am conservative and have girlish dreams and I am Charlotte
Some days I am adventurous and won't let people tell me what to do and I am Samantha.

and Bizarrely some days I find people annoying and clingy and I identify with Mr Big...

Anyway what annoys me most about being so busy every single evening is that I haven't had time to catch up on my story in more than a week!

It's like my one luxury - escapism - altho I usually finish each season disk with a strong craving for fashion and shoes and cocktail parties...

And watching is also usually accompanied by my other favourite secret luxury - Amarula+Hot Chocolate... It's like a nutty sweet warm nightcap :) (Go on, give it a try)
