Sex and the City, Madonna and the Democratic Race

What do they have in common you ask? Well - not much probably - except that they were all part of my exciting weekend! :-)

I was one of hordes of people who bought tickets to Sex and the City and stood in long lines trying to get into the theaters on Friday night. For those of you who have seen the series on HBO, the movie was AWESOME! So if your boyfriend or girlfriend drag you to see the movie, don't fret - there's something for every one in the movie.

After a late night out on Friday, my boyfriend woke me up early this morning (10:00 am... hehe) - so we could both get on our computers and try to book Madonna tickets! Yes sirreee - we're both BIG fans of Madonna - so within 5 minutes we had booked tickets to her November show in Atlanta (I won't tell you how much we paid - but sheesh - these folks make TONS of money on these concerts, no?). Her concert is titled "The Sticky and Sweet Tour" - which is also the title of her new album - which is FAB if you haven't heard it already.

On to the Democratic race - Hillary or Obama - its coming closer to decision time - every day. But today a "rules" committee for the Democratic National Committee held an important meeting where a decision was reached to seat 1/2 of Florida and Michigan's delegates. Florida and Michigan both strayed from the DNC rules by holding their primary elections too early. So the DNC punished them by withholding their delegates. Of course with this TIGHT race in the Democratic party there was uproar on all sides - as FL and MI could very well be the deciding factor in whether Hillary or Obama will become the Democratic nominee.

And Yes - I'm a political junkie! (Thus my major of Poli Sci). Hehe

Hope you all had a good weekend!

Sex and the City, Madonna, and politics... for real? You're speaking my language! I'm glad to hear another good review about the S&C movie- I can't wait to see it! It's only one of my favorite shows of all time! I love Madonna, too, but I won't pay over a certain amount for a show. I guess that's the conservative in me.... and on that note, boo Hillary and boo Obama! No offense if you favor either one... I just had to say it! :)

FA, Please change your online name to first name and last initial. We want to know who you are . . . and then there's those 15 points you'll want credit for. . . .

I too am a political junkie. I am anxious, though, for this election to be behind us. I think this started too soon. And I don't like it that the democrat's convention is in August!!!

I'm not sure how to change my name on here, since I have other blogs on here too. They all post as FA, my initials - Faisal Alam. :)

I too saw Sex and the City over the weekend. I thought it was great and I have never even seen the TV show. My sister dragged me to the movies to go see it. Now I am going to have to get all the episodes on DVD and watch them.
