Happy Saturday! I’m gonna have a PJ day, because it is overcast and rainy outside, and I just got a bunch of new puzzles.
Half-Girlfriend! It’s on Netflix in America, and einthusan everywhere. It’s ridiculous and romantic and has a rain song and overall is just a total throwback to old school romance.
At 7:30am, I will put up an “and PLAY” comment and then we can all comment along right here on this post!

I don’t understand people who have sports posters for teams that aren’t their hometown teams. I know it is a thing that happens everywhere, but I still don’t understand it. Why have a poster for the Lakers if you aren’t from LA?

I love the differences in the Bihari vs. Upper Crust Delhi accent. Although, Vikrant’s is so much better from Arjun’s it’s a bit distracting.

Of course it is. Vikrant probably spent 6 months preparing for this 5 minute scene.

I’m guessing she is singing this herself, but also her lipsynching is really bad, which is distracting! Maybe it’s harder to lipsynch to yourself?

I can never figure out those reclining movie theater seats either. I’m with you Arjun!

The most interesting (and a bit frustrating) part about living in Thailand was going to the movies. Just when you’d have gotten comfortable in your seat you had to stand up for the King’s Song, because it is LAW. And only after it were you permitted to sit back down. The song was nice, but the readjustment to the comfortability on the seat took a while. But the fact that the air conditioners were so COLD there was uncomfortable, it’s a luxury, but it made the air smell odd and stiff.
Just a little fun story!

If you have more time, then put it in warm to hot (not boiling) water. I am lazy and also usually scrambling so I just put it in the microwave. Put it upside down (i.e. crusty stuff on the bottom). If not the crusty stuff up top doesn’t heat as quickly as the already liquid part.

Anyone else getting a bit of a JHMS vibe from this? Really, Angie, I am impressed by your pick!!!! It’s not a stupid Rockstar thing of “I am a poor little rich girl and I want to have adventures and have picked a random safe poor person to take along with me”, it feels more like “I wouldn’t have considered having these adventures but you sparked something in me”.
