Thoughts after the movie

[nycmermaid]

Okay, I finished watching the movie and I didn't hate it. No, I never sympathized with "Andy"--how could I when she had everything going for her, even when it seemed she didn't? But overall it was a decent flick I suppose. The fact is, lots of TV shows and movies like to portray "down and out" young people the way they do on shows like Friends. Reality is that most people do not have big apartments in hip neighborhoods, or trendy jobs, or model-hot boyfriends. This is not reality and I should not compare myself to it, nor should anyone. I am happy with my career, my little Queens studio, and occasionally even my long-distance quasi-boyfriend, when I let myself be. Don't ask me why I needed to watch this movie to declare this, I just did.
