Happy Tuesday! See, I do know what day it is! Yesterday was insanely busy, starting at 6am, and also a bit depressing. You will see why in the following photos. Sigh.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: Raabta! Reincarnation and Jim Sarbh! 1pm Chicago Time
Happy Sunday! I already walked the dog, took the bus to the house, bought coffee on the way, walked over, saw my friends’ new couch and got my hairbrush from where I stashed it, took the bus back, walked the dog again, and now I am going to watch a movie with you lovely people. The random extra day of homelessness is just going to FLY by!
Continue readingIt’s My Nephew’s Second Birthday!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEPHEW!!!!!!! He is so BIG now! Like, he’s a little boy, not a little baby or even a toddler. Long legs and coordination and ability to form 3 word sentences. AMAZING.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong: 1pm Chicago Time Tomorrow! RAABTA! For Kriti’s Birthday!!!!
I am so tired. I will never have a home. The dog and I will be living in borrowed spaces our entire lives. I need to watch a big silly romantic drama with Jim Sarbh.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Consider the Possibility That I Am Too Nice
Happy Saturday! I am still homeless! Because I may have made an error in judgement. But I will probably have a home by Monday.

This is the start of my big hardworking 3 day moving period, so expect bare minimum posting. But I also need something happy to think about, so SRK!
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to The Week I MOVE???
Happy Wednesday! I have one more day being lazy with my parents, then tomorrow I pack up the car and drive back into the city and hit the ground running. By this time next week, I should have a painter scheduled, all the locks changed, the junk removed, the building deep cleaned, and myself and the dog moved into our unit with our little campsite’s worth of stuff.
Continue readingSunday WatchAlong This Week: What Time and What Movie?
Ugh, this week has so much happening!!! Thursday I drive back into the city, and start moving my stuff out of my friends’ unit and down into the basement, and pick up a million things that are waiting for me at Home Depot and other places. Saturday morning I move my final items out, then go over to my parents. Sunday I return to my ACTUAL REAL LIFE FINAL HOME. And do a watchalong.
Continue readingHappy Late Birthday Himesh Reshammiya, a Few Days Late!
This was actually on Friday I think, but this week has been so crazy, I missed it. But Himesh seems like a pretty lowkey dude and won’t care.

Happy Monday! The kids came up yesterday after all!!!! And BOY, 9-10 year olds have a LOT of energy. Makes you tired just talking to them.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While My Parents and I Relax Now that Grandpa is Better
Happy Saturday! Grandpa is all better, the old man just likes to make sure we are paying attention sometimes. Sigh. Anyway, my parents are exhausted after three days at the hospital, and I am exhausted after three days of feeding myself and being bored, so we are going to take it easy and enjoy life today.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Ms Marvel Vol. 3 “Crushed”, Chapter 4, Sexual Assault, Self-Blame, The Gift of Fear
Oh boy, another great chapter to talk about! Where we start getting into the really fun sexual assault metaphor which manages to give the emotional lesson, without being scary and explicit.
Continue readingI’m Stressed, Photo Post! Surprisingly Sexy Photos of Art Actors, in Honor of Naseerji
Ugh! Grandpa’s in the hospital, the roofer has to do a lot more work than anticipated, I didn’t get enough sleep because the dog kept crawling on me all night because I forgot to fill his water dish, and WORST OF ALL because of Grandpa, we may have to cancel on the small children on Saturday and I CAN’T HANDLE DISAPPOINTING SMALL CHILDREN!!! Their little eyes get big and they try not to cry and they are embarrassed because they are so sad. It’s HORRIBLE. Babies just cry and cry, and adults are tough, but that in between age when they want to cry but know they aren’t supposed to cry, that just rips out your heart. I CAN’T TAKE IT! Anyway, sexy photos to distract me.
Continue readingToofan Review (SPOILERS): Let Us All Sympathize With the Poor Bigot! The Fragile Bigot! Who Cannot Handle New Ideas or He Will EXPLODE!!!!
It’s true, the movies have shown me. The old white man in America who has to painfully and carefully learn that, maybe, not all racism is good. Poor Lord Crawley in Downton Abbey who has to consider that maybe class distinctions are sometimes unfair. And of course all the Hindu patriarchs in Indian films who have to suffer being told that, sometimes, maybe, non-Hindus and women have a right to live.
Continue readingToofan Review (No Spoilers): Really Makes Me Appreciate Sultan
Well, I watched it! And it was super frustrating! Very good bit-bad bit, good bit-bad bit, and on and on. I’m recommending it if you really like Farhan Akhtar (he is super charming), and if you are desperate for a romance (there’s a sweet one). But I am not recommending it as a movie as a whole because it is way WAY too confused.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Watching and Reading and Thinking and Listening to the Week Before I Move?
Happy Wednesday!!! I am still up at the lake house, but being lazy. So all I am doing is sitting on the couch/porch watching the lake. Still better than being in the city!
Continue readingWhat Naseerji Movie Should We Watch This Friday?
I am still in an exhausted state, so I want SHORT. Among his short options, quite a variety, because Naseerji does everything different always.

Not sure if I am wording this question right, but Indian films give us all these romantic dramatic first meeting moments. Which is your favorite fantasy for yourself?

It’s the anniversary of the moon landing! What a great prompt for a series of songs that are all on the same theme!

Happy Monday! I just scheduled a work call for 8:30am and then another for 9am. I have a baaaaaaaaad feeling that this will be how the whole day goes. Oh well, at least I have y’all and your questions to distract me.
Continue readingI Have Been So Busy This Weekend! I Missed You ALL!!!!
Happy Sunday! I am soooooooooo tired. I just can barely even move. And I did soooooooooooo much stuff over the past days. I kept thinking “ooo, I should tell the blog people about this” and then “I’m too tired!”
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Time to Dance! Enjoy the Stupidity With Me! 3pm Chicago Time
Woo-hoo, big dumb Netflix movie! So happy. Big overwhelming week of big overwhelming stuff, and now I just want to forget all about it and see who will win the big ballroom dance competition.

I figure, this is a question we can all answer. And perhaps, hopefully, learn from each other.
