A challenge!!!!! Which will be well-nigh impossible! At least, it would be for me. All 3 Khans had amazingly iconic love songs in this era, with adorable spectacular co-stars and forever hit tunes and so on and so forth. But which is BEST? And I guess also which is worst, and which is middlest.
Continue readingHappy Monday!!! Happy Valentine’s Week!!!! So exciting! I mailed most of my cards weeks ago, plus my special Valentine’s gift for my nephew, and yesterday I hand delivered a combo Valentine’s/new cat present, the last card that I will hand deliver day of to make it special. I have heard some people treat Valentine’s as a holiday between romantic couples, but I think that is crazy. I treat it as a “time to send nice presents/cards to everyone and anyone who is important in my life”.
Continue readingWoot! It’s 90s week!!!! Gotta start with the two most significant romances of the 90s, Sleepless in Seattle and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Yes, HAHK and DDLJ were more important films in general, and When Harry Met Sally is more influential, but these two movies were the biggest romantic hits of the decade, the ones that you pull out when you just want to swoon over love and not worry about anything else.
Continue readingThis is such a ridiculous true life story that I can’t resist making it into a movie. Especially because it means I can give it a happy ending. And also talk about how male science professors are the SCUM OF THE EARTH.
Continue readingI solved it!!! It took me a while to figure it out, but it burst upon me suddenly this morning.
Continue readingRemember, in 2 weeks from today, Ramesh Menon’s Siva Purana! It’s X-rated! It’s fun! It’s sex ed and religion all in one book!
Continue readingI don’t know about you, but I pretty much only read children’s books. And romances and mysteries. I minored in English in college and read a fair number of “real” books, and then I graduated and could read whatever I wanted and decided that about age 14 is the reading level that makes me happy. Reading should be fun! I don’t want to read An Unsuitable Boy, I want to read Betsy-Tacy! Anyway, tell me your favorite children’s books that you read as a kid/read to your kids/read now as an adult because reading has no rules.
Continue readingHappy Happy Saturday! And SRK day!!! What a wonderful start to the day/weekend, spending the morning with SRK.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! This comes to you from “America’s Vast Frozen Middle”. That was a headline in the BBC or something years ago and it always makes me giggle because YES! My vast American middle is frozen!!!! That’s why I put Albie Dog on my lap so much.
Continue readingFor the past 4 years, I have fought post-Holiday blues by scheduling a vacation for February/March. This year, no vacation, but I decided to schedule myself a “staycation” instead, just to shake up my schedule. And now y’all get to help me make plans!
Continue readingAbhi Baby!!!! Surprisingly undervalued, but also seems to kind of like it like that. He struggled in his father’s shadow as a young man, but has matured into understanding the value of being overlooked and allowed to do his own thing. And he is very very good at doing his own thing.
Continue readingAngie and I can just sit in a corner and chat about this one to each other. The rest of you can think about how perfect Shahrukh would be to play Mr. Rochester and whether or not Alia should play opposite him.
Continue readingI have DECIDED!!!! We are doing Chennai Express, and we are doing Saturday morning. Because it is what I want and all the world is cold and grey around me, so I get to do what I want. Also, my dog is too skinny.
Continue readingI have various wonderments this morning, and since I can’t talk to people-people, I will talk to my DCIB people and see what answers we can find.
Continue readingThis is not the best day, largely because I haven’t been able to have coffee yet. And also, a client at work didn’t like me! ME!!! I’m the person they bring in to jolly folks along because everyone always likes me. Anyway, I’m gonna do a stupid songs post as a distraction.
Continue readingThe movie is selected, Courtney’s campaigning and my own heart told me what to do. But when do we watch it????
Continue readingThank you all for nagging and nagging me to watch this! And also, thank you for being understanding that I wanted to wait until I could watch it with a friend and be happy.
Continue readingSo much snow! Cannot go outside, cannot drive anywhere, can’t even take out the trash that is piling up in my kitchen (yes, it is gross, but breaking my leg trying to go down the backsteps is also gross). Let’s cheer me up and take me out of myself!
Continue readingSorry, I know this wasn’t a suggestion from any of you. But it popped into my head and got me all excited, and hopefully it will get you excited too.
Continue readingTerrible news! We had our annual vet appointment this morning and I was SHAMED and HUMILIATED and JUDGED.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I just gotta crawl a little bit further through the week. Alllllllllll most done. And then another week. And another week. And on and on. I miss my annual February vacation to a sunny place! Stupid winter.
Continue readingYes, it is an animal photo post! Because that is the kind of warm loving community we are, and also sometimes you just want to see dogs in snow.
Continue readingStupid snow! It’s not that I mind the snow itself, I usually like the adventure of snow. It’s that the snow makes it almost impossible to drive and, with the pandemic, driving is the only way I can get out of the house and have human contact. That little “good morning” exchange with the Starbucks drive through was all that is keeping me sane. Anyway, I’m having a hard week. Feeling a wee bit trapped, and also a wee bit sick (stupid snowstorm also causing a stupid weather related migraine). So I really really need a happy movie, and my brain has turned to mush and I can’t think of one.
Continue readingCheck-In time! Let us share our life choices after 1 year of quarantine. What has gone from “it’s okay, it’s an emergency” to “I guess this is just life now”? From make-up to work/life dividing lines to family time?
Continue readingI’m not gonna see The Great Indian Kitchen, even though it looks like exactly the kind of move folks at DCIB would enjoy talking about. It’s on a funky streaming service, it doesn’t have any famous actors we like, it’s Malayalam, I just don’t see it being the sort of thing a lot of you will be able to see. BUT! Shreyans liked it and wants to talk about it, and I like Shreyans, so I found a work around. I think.
