I read a post from one guy about the premiere, and he said, "I never knew women were so shallow," and I have a comeback for him. "Sir, life is difficult. I am an enlightened being, but in this world of pain and suffering, it is essential to have oases of respite for the soul weary, and "Sex and the City" is one of mine. Is that so wrong? You have your football games, and your hunting. Will you deny us OUR simple pleasures? We don't think your games and killing things is stupid (okay, maybe we DO think they're stupid), but we understand the need for escape and community.

So yes, I am shallow, AND I am deep. Two for the price of one. What could possibly be better than that? And yes, I also happen to like to follow the lives of the movie stars, as well. I bet that just totally takes you over the edge, doesn't it? AND I'm actively concerned about our earth, AND I meditate. Go figure.

As Hillary Swank whispers in Harry Connick Jr.'s ear the secret to what women want: "we have no idea what we want." But I DO know - I want it all. The fluffy movies, the late-night freakouts, the long sunny days at the park reading, rubbing my mother's feet. It's ALL a part of life - you don't need to separate out the good from the bad, deciding what everyone SHOULD be doing, thinking, feeling. That's why they call us "individuals." Separate, unique. So, sometimes shallow, sometimes waist-deep, sometimes over my head, but always interesting. I guarantee you that."
