I was thinking, Dilwale is a Christmas movie, right? Sort of? And also an Indian film which is technically the Brief for this blog. On the other hand, if you don’t care and are willing to indulge my wild stabs at Western films, I have other silly American Christmas options in my head.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I’m doing laundry and watching Bake Off and being happy, woot! And also just a wee bit stressed about work stuff, but not that much. Wait, never mind, I wrote that sentence 4 hours ago and now I am SUPER stressed.
Continue readingAfter Manish Malhotra’s birthday yesterday, there was a suggestion of a fashion post. Also, I feel guilty for not reviewing new movies, and I figure a Garam Dharam post is an acceptable substitute that we all can enjoy.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a lovely relaxing weekend tidying my house and working on Xmas presents instead of seeing Bhediya, and now I am back to Most Stressful Monday Ever. I’ve got 5 calls scheduled through out the day, and I’m days behind in emails, and blech! But I shall try to relax and just think of what I can do and not what I can’t, and also work on Angie’s fun Christmas card.
Continue readingWoot, Angie! Winning! Enjoy it this week, now that WatchAlongs are back I expect things to become much more competative.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaay, a nice Christmas black and white romance. With smart dialogue and a baby and a cool department store setting.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am drowning in shipping boxes. And then there’s the question of which ones I should keep back to ship stuff out in. It’s all very complex. I think I’m just gonna recycle everything and get it out of my house, and then deal with packing new boxes as it comes up.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaay, we get to have a watchalong!!! And we get to watch one of my favorite movies! Clever, light, fun, romantic, and a baby.
Continue readingAfter soooooooooo many weekends off, I am back! I really really REALLY want to watch a movie with y’all! So the most important question is, what day and time works best?
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! My Mom just sent me a thing about it being LM Montgomery’s birthday, isn’t that nice? Also Mark Twain and Winston Churchill (Bengal famine).
Continue readingI swear, I’m not trying to convert you into Christmas people. You can stay Halloween people or Easter People or Eid people or whatever. But there are a lot of great stupid fun songfilled romantic heartwarming Christmas movies that I think we would all enjoy.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have no water! The whole 6 month project of ripping up our street and replacing the pipes might, finally, be reaching the finale. Or this is just another little stop on the road to fully functioning pipes/street. But I like to think it is the finale.
Continue readingWoot, week 3! And it’s still an open race because I haven’t been doing watchalongs! It’s anyone’s game, just a few comments and you could be a winner!
Continue readingYaaaaaay, the really truly beautiful ending! One of the greatest moments in English writing to describe humanism and love and all good things. If you have read the whole book, I recommend skipping to this discussion, and then going back to the other two, because really the ending dominates all.
Continue readingHappy Christmas!!! I am trying very VERY hard to cut down on my expectations for myself this year. We will see how it goes.
Continue readingTotally unrelated to Indian film post warning! But before I got into Indian film, I was into history, so this is a fun post on the history of Thanksgiving.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! And Happy Day Before Thanksgiving! I am so excited to have a day off work. I’m gonna make Christmas presents and cook and get things out of the storage unit and all kinds of good things. Oh, and then go over to my parents to actually celebrate Thanksgiving, that too.
Continue readingHappy Tuesday! I am feeling overwhelmed and exhausted and it’s not even December yet. JUST POSSIBLY I set too high standards for myself in terms of what I have to do for Christmas (the 8 homemade presents, the multiple social events, the live tree, the family heirloom decorations that all have to be out, etc. etc. etc.).
Continue readingHappy Monday! And Happy 3 Day Work Week to my fellow Americans!!! I had a sit down with my housemates yesterday morning and then with my parents yesterday night and my holiday schedule is going to be PACKED. But packed with good things, so that’s okay.
Continue readingWoot, some of you are actually promising to try re-reading and following along with me! So we will see if this post gets comments. Even if it doesn’t, I am still happy because I just love talking about this book.
Continue readingWoot! Christmas! I am ignoring all the presents I have to make and so on and so forth and instead focusing on what’s REALLY important, Kirre’s card giveaway.
Continue readingHappy Saturday!!! Last weekend I was in California visiting a friend, and this weekend is Birthday Bonanza, and then next weekend goes right into Thanksgiving. Thus, not blogging as much as I feel like I should have.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Dad! I know you said you were all set and didn’t need me to do anything, but I am writing a blog post, so HA! I tricked you and am making a fuss anyway!!!
Continue readingCongratulations Kirre! You made 7 more comments this week than Angie!!!! You win a CARD!!!! I am very excited to design something amazing for you.
Continue readingThere is a tiny bit of this post that is India related, but mostly it’s just Weird Old America related. Enjoy!
