“There’s the kind of support you ask for and a kind of support you don’t ask for… and then there’s the kind that just shows up.” — Sex and the City
If you didn’t well up at this voiceover, as writer Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker, right) joins devastated bestie Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) in her mother’s funeral procession, you may be as fried as Carrie’s poor laptop.
