The Woman Wondered Why…
“The woman looked out her window and realized she still harbored
ill will towards the former lover who shattered the antique glass.
It may have been a romantic gesture, but she was robbed of rainbows
forever. The woman considered taking a trip. But who could housesit?
There was the gardener, who was taking an inordinate amount of time
planting a few bulbs. Or maybe the son of a friend who knocked up a
woman of ample proportions and had a companion named after
a theme park. No. The woman would stay home. And write.
And write. And write…books that nobody would read.”
I suspect fans of Carrie Bradshaw’s column are much like fans of Billy Masters – not particularly into the bodice-ripper genre. Rule one for writing a show – have a story you want to tell. Clearly that rule went out the broken window. After 10 hours I’ll never get back, you know what I was left with? A shrug. Fine – but who cares? I was left with a question – where does one find this magical karaoke machine that also is preloaded with songs sung by the original artist? I also thought that if one wanted a show about people in their sixties who were interested in sex and the city, why not set it in London and follow the exploits of a certain ex-pat named Samantha? I’d watch that!
