What if I had my own HBO show?

After watching the season premiere of Girls and series premiere of Looking, I thought…well, why not? Why wasn’t there a series that discussed the traumas and comedy of a unmarried thirty somethings living in a city? Oh wait, wasn’t that Sex and the City, Friends, Seinfeld…and Thirtysomething? And nearly a majority of tee vee shows that dominate the air?

Yet what bothers me most about the two shows is the twentysomething angst that I am (hopefully) departing. And yet what bothers me more is that I tend to swing more in the social conservative side of the world while still maintaining interest in the city’s whimsical nature and super liberal perspectives. And on my side, hey…diversity! And what person like me doesn’t really quite luxuriate in the city’s collaborative services but probably can afford it and still says things like “It’s just 12 blocks away, I’ll walk” and “I think that I’ll cook my own dinner today, no thanks to that fancy pants bar selling $10 a pop”. And still owns craigslisted, hand-me-down, college era, Ikea furniture. And when going out, it has to be “free”, “cheap”, and un-noisy. But living in the city in the most desirable neighborhood in the city?

An Asian American designer, obviously. In her early thirties. Still holding onto technology that is sooooo ten years ago (aka instant messaging and email).
