Oh Olivia Newton-John. I heard she died and the first thing I wanted to know was “What did Travolta say?” It’s rare that an onscreen pairing in American film is so strong that even when the real person dies, your first thought is of their onscreen partner. So let’s go back and look at that movie which had such an impact and think about why that impact happened.
Continue readingSo I was instagram browsing and I ran across Hrithik! In black and white, with a beard. He has some kind of new brand thing? I don’t know, but it’s a great look.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a lovely lazy weekend which was my first weekend at home IN A MONTH. Boy July was crazy.
Continue readingWoot! WatchAlong! I am slowly getting my life back! My weird pandemic isolation movie based life! Whatever, still better than being a milk and cheezit machine for a small child like I was last week.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am being lazy and easy today, I got a massage and finished a puzzle and only did a little bit of living room reorganization. Also, almost done with Voyager! What shall I watch next???
Continue readingToday is the 10 year anniversary of the Oak Creek Tragedy, so I’m just gonna take a moment to remember it.
Continue readingI gotta say, the very “eh” attitude of those of you who are watching this season is not inspiring me to give it a try. But on the other hand, I do enjoy reading what y’all thought.
Continue readingHappy Kajol Weekend! We get to watch a silly silly 90s movie with baby Kajol and Saif and a couple classic songs.
Continue readingI know she hasn’t really acted regularly in decades, I know her last work has been uneven, and yet I still love her. And it’s her BIRTHDAY! We have to watch something fun for her!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am almost back to my normal life. I’m doing work, I have groceries, I watered my garden, it’s all coming together. Except for one plant that is dying, but I’m gonna work on that after work today.
Continue readingOver the past few weeks, gaaaaaaah! Life is crazy!!! So I haven’t really sat down and concentrated on something to review-review since Ms Marvel. But there are some random things I can talk about just to get a post up and get my brain working again.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am HOME! I slept 12 hours last night and still feel tired and achey, but I am HOME! Back to normal life.
Continue readingWoot! We made it! Mother and baby both safely home and so long as Mother follows orders and takes it very easy for a few weeks, it’s all gonna be okay. And Auntie gets to go HOME!!!
Continue readingNanny is here so I am free for a bit and I realized the only thing that makes me feel better is to look up Alia/Ranbir quotes and get that nice sensation of irritation.
Continue readingIf you thought “gee, I wonder if there have been no new posts because things in Margaret’s life have gone a bit off, but I hope that isn’t true” you were right and it is true.
Continue readingHappy Tuesday! MommySister and Daddy might be coming home from the hospital today with Baby Brother! False alarms Thursday evening and Saturday morning which meant Auntie caring for confused Nephew A. Also, Nephew A got a 24 hour bug and threw up over everything on Friday. I had to throw away my dress. And then the real alarm started Saturday afternoon and I have been solo caring for a small human being since then. Well, the nanny was here for a few hours yesterday so I was able to wash my hair (HEAVEN!), but mostly solo. Once Mommy and Daddy and Baby Brother are home, it will get easier, right? Because babies make everything better?
Continue readingHappy Saturday!!! I should be folding more laundry (there was a vomit incident yesterday that resulted in stripping the couch and me changing clothes twice), but instead I am BEING A HUMAN and doing a FOR REAL ACTUAL BLOG POST.
Continue readingOh boy! Nephew B really REALLY wants to arrive. So at some point, possibly tonight, I will become the sole emotional and physical guardian of a 3 year old. Until his parents bring baby brother home.
Continue readingIm boooored. Nephew is still asleep and I am resisting the urge to go wake him up so he will play with me.
Continue readingI survived! I arrived! No Nephew B yet. But Nephew A, after brief suspicion, has temporarily accepted me. Although I anticipate a reversal during times of stress. I am new and scary and not his parents, he will probably hit me at some point in the next 24 hours.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I got within an hour of my sister’s by 9pm last night and we made a decision for me to stay at a hotel within emergency call zone instead of arriving in the middle of bedtime when we are all tired. And now I am relaxing in my big huge hotel bed and thinking “do I really want to leave here and go be beaten up by a 2 year old who is mad at me for not being Mommy?”
Continue readingBased on latest reports from my sister, Nephew B is really REALLY ready to get here. So instead of a nice slow drive today ending with a pleasant watchalong, I’m gonna shoot for getting within a few hours of their house by the end of the day so I can be on call. Unfortunately, all the way there just seems EXTREMELY unlikely. Unless I get an Auntie adrenaline rush.
Continue readingSilly silly post for a stressy stressy day. I woke up at 6am ready to hit the road, only I’m not leaving until tomorrow. But I’m ready! I’m packed! I’m planned! I’m hyped! Instead of getting in the car and driving, I will write this silly silly post.
Continue readingThis is the weekend of my insane cross-country driving trip (assuming my COVID tests from yesterday come back negative, now my brain has decided to worry about that). Anyway, I’m planning to drive all day and then stop early evening to get a hotel before I wear myself out, so I could do a watchalong Saturday or Sunday evening. Or early Monday Morning, my last driving day when I will have earned a slow start.
Continue readingI watched it! The whole thing! It was very stressful. Boys, driving tests, making college decisions, BLECH! And if that wasn’t enough, disappointing your parents the WORST THING EVER. But yes, a great show, an easy watch, and lots of fun easter eggs for Hindi film fans.
