Sherni Review (SPOILERS): 10 Steps Backward 1 Step Forward, Goverment Good, Industry Bad
Good movie, well-made movie, depressing movie about the impossibility of holding on to anything good in today’s destructive change obsessed world. Also, Vidya looking good without make up.

By Saturday, I will be living ALONE! Sort of. I’ll be camping out in the empty unit where my friends’ will eventually be living, so they are gonna be painting and plastering and all kinds of things. But at night, ALONE. And NOT WITH MY PARENTS. Anyway, what should we watch to celebrate?

This is a very self-centered post. I mean, I want to hear all your alcohol stories too of course. Not the “I got so drunk I threw up in a mailbox” ones, but more the “I never liked beer until my friend got me to try this thing when we were on a trip once” stories. But also, you get to give me advice!

Happy Monday! I have 3 more days at my parents and I am just crawling through. My parents are lovely people of course, but I’m in that zone of “I can’t do anything now, but OMG I will have so much stuff to do in 3 days” which is stressful in a particular way. I keep obsessive planning like that’s gonna make things easier.

Woot! Comic books!!!! I am on SUCH a comic book kick right now. They are the perfect thing to read when life is crazy and you can’t focus. And Ms Marvel is, like, THE BEST.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Recover from a WILD PARTY!!!
Happy Saturday! I am so tired! If I had my own place, I would order pizza and sit on the couch and watch TV and not do anything. But instead I am at my parents, so I will hide in my bedroom and try to avoid them and not do anything.

You understand I mean “gay” as a good thing, right? I was gonna do “Queerest”, but that headline just doesn’t sound as good.

Sister, you can read or not read this post. I leave it up to you. Just don’t read it out loud to Nephew and spoil the surprise. Also, I don’t care that you don’t want things that beep or bang or make a mess, IT’S HIS DAY!!!! I WANT TO BE THE FAVORITE AUNT!!!!

So excited about this one!!!!! Especially for those of you who haven’t seen it and think it is your standard sex comedy! I mean, it is a little bit. But it’s mostly a gay romance and it is DELIGHTFUL. And the female characters have a surprising amount of agency.

I considered doing a straight through read through, but that’s a lot to as of folks both in time and money. So instead, JUST MY FAVORITE VOLUME. Volume 3, “Crushed”, ASIN B00WUNKR4O, Amazon link below. It is also probably available to you through the “Hoopla” library app.

Happy Wednesday! In a week and a day, I get to get OUT of my parents apartment. Still not moving into my real apartment, but at least moving somewhere new. I’ll be sleeping on the floor and camping out in the empty upstairs apartment where my friends will be living. Still better than being at my parents. I need MY OWN SPACE.
Continue readingMy Dad and I Have Been on a Bad 1970s Disaster Movie Binge (Poseidon, Airport, etc.)! What Disaster Movie Could We Make in Hindi Film?
The thing about 1970s disaster movies is that they are so SILLY. It’s not like “a tornado!” or “an earthquake!” it’s all “this very fancy modern something or other has one small flaw and now a variety of famous actors must work together to escape”.
Continue readingPride Month Post: Dedh Ishqiya and Love Beyond Gender
Yaaaaaaaaaay, we watched Dedh Ishqiya this Saturday! Yaaaaaaaaaay, it was really good! Yaaaaay, it dealt with two women who loved each other in an incredibly warm and careful way!

Happy Monday! I was woken at 11:30 last night by a friends text chain sharing tornado stories. Very exciting! Chicago doesn’t often get tornados! And then I had to get up early to drop off bagels at the house of a friend who’s basement flooded, and zip by and check on my new two flat to make sure it didn’t flood. HOMEOWNERSHIP!
Continue readingHappy Father’s Day! Shahrukh Style!
Happy Father’s Day! I gave my Dad a magnetic toilet bowl cleaner. Because they are moving and I knew he wouldn’t want “stuff”, but he also is in charge of cleaning the toilet.

Happy Saturday! Later than usual! I had a very rush-rush day, including appliance shopping with my parents which took foreeeeeeeeever. I remember it took forever the last time I did it (when I was 3), and it was exactly the same this time! Except last time I brought a bag of dolls with me and this time I just had a stupid smart phone.

Happy Saturday! I am very excited about this movie and very nervous that I might have to leave before the end. I have an appointment at 10:30 and, depending on traffic, I may not have enough time. Oh well, y’all can finish without me if you have to, and I can watch the last 20 minutes on my own. Or, traffic will be good and I can stay straight through.
