What would Carrie Do?

I have to admit, that some of my all time favourite scenes from the show and movies of Sex and the City are the scenes every week when Carrie Bradshaw is sitting in her apartment writing and we get a close up of the computer with her question of the week.
I love it.
It's like writer's porn.


Here I am, awake; mind on everything but work, and decide to pop in Season 4 of SATC.   Did it help?  No. 
All it did was make me want to go shopping and snuggle up with someone who smells like woodchips and fake leather materials.[her boyfriend for that season Aidan is a furniture designer] Only, it's way past time for any stores to be open here and I have no one to snuggle up with.

Which of course is my main problem. Who would have thought that someone who writes about relationships and romance would be left out in the cold so often?
I'm suppose to know this stuff, yet I get left scratching my head {as well as the right side of my body} wondering when it's all going to fit together and make sense?

This is the point where I would ask "what would Carrie do?"  and flip through the episodes of the show till I found one that matched up enough with my issue and write up a blog post on it with the plots of the week, the question of the week, and make it all make sense with my own observations and my own question.
But, this time I'm coming up short. And I know what the character would do. She'd order bad Chinese, drink four Cosmos, call up her best gay man Stanford, get dressed in a killer outfit, hit the latest club, then go home to have phone sex with Mr. Big.
None of that is applicable here. None.

Oh the joys of having a fictional character as your hero.

Maybe I need to pop in season 2 ?
