The West Wing! Just recently added to HBO so you can watch it all straight through for the millionth time! It’s smart, it’s funny, it’s pretty, and it’s soooooooooooooooo romantic. Cannot recommend it enough. Except for those other parts that are so stupid they make me want to throw something at the TV.
Continue readingCheck it out, I’m gonna make you read two Indian thingies! Both of them very easy reads, and short, don’t worry, and I am giving you more than enough time.
Continue readingI am so thrilled to share this book with you!!! It’s this little hidden gem, and more people need to know about it.
Continue readingI’m still watching bad true crime, so sue me. I am addicted to terrible reenactments and serious talking heads from “relationship experts”. Anyway, great plot ideas for Indian movies!
Continue readingThank you DilDeewana for giving me permission to write about the Betsy-Tacy series! And thank you My Own Mind for putting together how Betsy and Leslie Knope have the same romance.
Continue readingYou know the best part about doing the early Saturday Watchalong? I have to walk the dog sooooooooooo early that no one else is on the street and I don’t have to wear a mask. Such a treat.
Continue readingYaaaaaay, Saturday!!! I get to watch a movie with y’all, and then maybe spend the day doing a puzzle, or reading a book. Not a book to Learn Things and Be Productive, but just for fun. Isn’t that a crazy idea?
Continue readingLooking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow morning for an absolutely delightful short fun movie!
Continue readingY’all have been so nice about helping me not blog as much, I thought I should give you a report on the benefits I am getting from it.
Continue readingOkay, it is entirely possible that only Popka and I have actually seen the TV show Agatha Raisin. But don’t worry, if you haven’t seen this then you have seen something similar where the authors created a Perfect romantic lead for the heroine and the end result is just really really dull.
Continue readingSo exciting! Coming up on year 2 of having Albie dog!!!! It’s easy to remember, because the shelter really pushed for me to pick him up on the last day of February so they could fluff up their monthly numbers (February being the shortest month, their adoption total was always low).
Continue readingI am just so proud. Dad figured out how to use his Roku, and then he figured out how to record on his cell phone, and then how to send the video to Grandpa! And now Grandpa can do subtitles himself! And most importantly, I AM THE PERSON WHO RECOMMENDED COLUMBO AND ROKU TO DAD AND GRANDPA!!! AND THEY LOVE THEM BOTH!!!! HA! I WIN ALL!!!!
Continue readingWoot! Anne of Green Gables!!!! I love this series, have loved it almost my entire life since my Mom first read it aloud to me when I was 6. And in many ways it defined my identity as a woman and my life goals, spoke to something no other text does. Mostly, it spoke to the beauty and happiness of every day woman’s work.
Continue readingNot talking big problems, but the minor secondary irritations. Which are still SO DIFFICULT!!!!
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaay, Bobby Jasoos!!!! It is such a super fun movie. And also, SHORT! So don’t be late because you will miss a lot of it, and also feel free to make Saturday plans because it won’t take long.
Continue readingI’m not gonna really dig into this idea, I just sort of want to outline it and then throw it out there for us all to chew over. Because you are all really intelligent deep thinking people, and many of you are dealing with cultural awareness in terms of watching films from a culture that is not yours, so I think you will have good ideas.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! Halfway through this bleak snowy week. Chicago is not being a fun city this week.
Continue readingWhat should we do for our Friday watchalong this week? It’s Preity’s birthday, so I’d like to do something for her. But it’s also Varun’s wedding week. And I want everyone to see Bobby Jasoos just because it is good.
Continue readingYaaaaay, a non-Indian review/recommendation! And I swear, this is so good that you will enjoy it even if you are all snobby and “I only want to watch Indian stuff”.
Continue readingAfter almost a year of lockdown, my brain is not functioning. Also, there simply aren’t that many new movies out there, and I’ve already reviewed every single old Indian movie I feel like watching. Which means if I am going to write new reviews, they have to be of non-Indian stuff I’ve already seen. Lay it on me! What could I write about?
Continue readingWell, I am a failure. I made this big announcement about not doing things I don’t want to do for the blog any more, because it is just a blog, and the only point is to build a community, not treat it like a job. And then I immediately went back to treating it like a job. HELP!
Continue readingI really really don’t want to see this movie. So, I’m not gonna! No matter how much you ask me to! But I will put up a post space for those of you who did see it to discuss.
Continue readingHappy Monday!!!! It is grey and overcast and horrible here, after a full weekend of sunshine, so y’all are in charge of cheering me up! Ask me happy things!
Continue readingI’m so happy for them! I love this couple.
Continue readingI am now on day 4 of watching true crime. I am either no longer seeing the world in a realistic fashion, or I am finally seeing the TRUTH. Probably I am finally seeing the truth.
