That's What She Said–In Utah This Week

To read this week’s column click here.
I’d attempt to write something clever but, I’m very busy trying to find cheerful music to cover the sounds of rain outside. So far Magnetic Fields is only further depressing me. Any cheerful music suggestions?

I never watched Sex And The city… actually until just reading your column, I thought it was Sex In The city (no lie!).
I don’t know what music would cheer you up.. I’m so bad, when I am down I listen to depressing music and get more down.
Ok, I need to end this entry now because it’s bringing me down and I’m having a good day!
I’m so bumbed I couldn’t go with you. captain Ahole I mean Ryan wouldn’t watch Ike for me. I’m still trying to figure out how to sneak out.
#1) The Weepies are fun! New(ish) album is great!
#2) Can’t help with the rain blues. . .I live (happily) in Seattle. 🙂
#3) Oh no. SATC sucked. I have proof. http://withmylou.blogspot.com/2008/05/gray-in-city.html

Just a suggestion or two.
I honestly tried to watch this show once. I really did. Other than Kim Cattrall (who I had a crush on back in the 80s) being naked a lot, this show has absolutely nothing to offer except really unrealistic portrayals of super-materialistic and extremely hateful women. I managed to get in about 20 minutes worth before I felt like slapping the lot of them, so I had to turn away. Haven’t seen a second since.
Have you seen charlie the unicorn?
Watch that.. =o) haha
I am so stoked about the SATC movie. I really thought I would be there opening weekend. My SATC BFF lives on an island far, far away, so I feel a bit like I might be cheating, but she won’t be home until August and that’s just not going to work. My husband inadvertantly got hooked on the show because he had no poker night to attend EVER during my SATC with BFF and Riesling evenings and he’s more than willing to go, but we can’t seem to find a time that works for both of us. He is also secretly concerned that he might appear gay. I’ve instructed him to leave his wedding band at home so people will just have to wonder. Anywho… I think I’m Miranda. Sigh. Minus the “I’m gay” part that was QUITE apparent to me during the series, I guess my gay-dar was up and running just fine. Sorry for the long post… MIKA makes me VERY happy. Here’s his MySpace Music page with a couple of tracks. (He also did “Grace Kelly”) His whole CD is filled with mostly upbeat tracks. He’s also a part of, what I like to call, the Gay Piano Player genre (Freddie Mercury and Rufus Wainwright are members) which is my favorite genre of all AND it’s a most fitting theme considering your all around Gay mood. Enjoy!

Can I be the gay guy you cheat on your gay husband with?
I’m digging Coldplay’s Viva La Vida. Kind of peppy.
Miss you.
