After a long time, I caught both Sex and the City and Des­per­ate House­wives on the idiot box on Sun­day night. You have to give it to them for com­ing up with some really inter­est­ing episodes! From SATC, Car­rie (who had given up her life in NY to be with Alexandr in Paris) realises that she’s been look­ing for love in all the wrong places.

Car­rie: “Later that day I got to think­ing about rela­tion­ships. There are those that open you up to some­thing new and exotic, those that are old and famil­iar, those that bring up lots of ques­tions, those that bring you some­where unex­pected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most excit­ing, chal­leng­ing and sig­nif­i­cant rela­tion­ship of all is the one you have with your­self. And if you can find some­one to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous. ”

Car­rie: “I’m look­ing for love. Real love. Ridicu­lous, incon­ve­nient, con­sum­ing, can’t-live-without-each-other love. And I don’t think that love is here in this expen­sive suite in this lovely hotel in Paris.”

Big: It took me a really long time to get here, but I’m here. Car­rie, you’re the one.

Now that’s a line that would melt any woman’s heart and I must con­fess I shed a tear or two myself, watch­ing Car­rie and Big find each other again on the streets of Paris… Sigh. Did I call it the idiot box? I have to take that back :)
