I'm finding out that with friendships, comes some difficult, unanticipated expectations. That friends all have fears and they hide them from one another. It takes more patience and hard work to deal with than I bargained for.
Carrie Bradshaw has left the building. But HBO is still careful to pad their lineup and lure you into it, which is what happened last night when I caught "Curb Your Enthusiasm." God, it was hilarious. I wouldn't be off by saying that it's exactly like Seinfeld; only the characters are allowed to be spin-offs of themselves. David Schwimmer, Wanda Sykes, Richard Lewis -- all play themselves, but are fictionally involved in Larry David's life in the wackiest ways.
On last night's episode, Wanda Sykes caught Larry mistakenly handing a black man in a suit is valet parking ticket, which Larry had to explain his way out of. Then later on in the episode she caught him locking his car just as a black man in plainclothes walked by. She began ribbing on him, "So a black man in a suit wants to park your car, and a black man in normal clothes wants to steal it?" Larry, of course, became incredibly flustered. Then, noticing that Larry drove a Nissan sedan, she continued, "No black man wants to steal your piece of shit car. A black man wants something with get-up-and-go!" I never knew I'd say this, but put that together with Wanda's alter-ego on Crank Yankers, and I like this comedienne very, very much.
