Theme song: Pink “So What” Sometimes, you have to meet the right person in order to know just how wrong Mr. Wrong was. I think it’s interesting how sometimes, we want our story to be more important than real life and so we’ll try to force compatibility out of incompatibility with others in order to …
Theme Song: “Vertigo” U2 So there I was, about a year ago, watching Sex in the City as a divorced woman with a friend. When I was in my 20s, it was one of my favorite TV shows. As I watched the movie, I noticed all the man-bashing jabs and watched my friend laugh at …
