Isn’t it lovely that Feminist Horror Comedy is now an actual genre? Stree is of course the best of them, but Roohi is a not terrible addition.

Continue readingThings I Am Worried About Today
Is marijuana supposed to make you anxious? Am I anxious because it is 420 day and drugs are in the air? Or (more likely) is it because I am hormonal and it is overcast?
Continue readingHappy 420 Day! Let’s Pick the Best Bhang Song!
Why is 420 the marijuana holiday in America? I am sure there is a reason, but I don’t know it. Anyway, it is. And therefore, Bhang songs collection!
Continue readingAmerican TV Post: The Changing Aging of Women as Shown in The Golden Girls Versus Hot in Cleveland
I am about to be TOTALLY INDULGENT. Ain’t that fun for me? But not for you. I have finished going all the way through The Golden Girls for the hundredth time and am taking a break by watching Hot in Cleveland, the pale imitation recent show that I have only watched all the way through twice. And it got me thinking about how women age, and how they are perceived to age, and isn’t that a fascinating topic for all of us? Read on if you know The Golden Girls, or are interested in thinking about women aging, or just like my writing.

I was running late this week and sat down to finally finish this book last night and it was so GOOD. So very very good. Y’all should read it, especially if you struggled a bit at the opening. It gets better. And then you can picture Sid M. as the hero and Pari as the heroine and be happy.

It’s been a few years now since I first saw this film and looking back on it, it is STILL a great movie!!!!! Tightly edited, fast paced, clear, moral, just great. You should all watch it on einthusan (or Hotstar if you are rich).
Continue readingDCIB Book Club One Off Reviw: Angela Thirkell’s Cheerfulness Breaks In, History As it Happens “All You Can Do is Trust in God, and Isn’t That The Worst Part?”
This book is so FASCINATING, and also so odd, that instead of telling y’all to read it and then having an equal discussion, I want to write a really in depth review so you can make an informed decision, and I can get all my thoughts out. Mostly you need to know that it is weirdly relevant to 2020/2021, as you can see by the quote above summing up a character’s feelings.
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Watching and Reading and Thinking and Listening To on the International Day of Pink?
Happy Wednesday!!!! I am having a nice week, I hope you are too. After some super busy work weeks, suddenly it dropped off again with no warning yesterday so I feel like I can breath.

Normally I let you have opinions, but Doosra Aadmi is so great, and it just hit einthusan, so you will really REALLY have to fight me on this.

Continue readingRamadan Kareem! From Me and My Dad and Albie Dog!!!!
Ramadan Kareem! If I were Muslim, I would get to wake up early and eat a ton of a food, and then stay up late and eat a ton of food. I suppose I could do that anyway just for fun, but it wouldn’t be the same without the big family/social aspect.

Happy Monday! I realize this is an international blog, so my rainy Monday may be a sunny or snowy or all kinds of things Monday for everyone else. Just to clarify, you can still ask me questions even if it isn’t raining where you are.
