Happy Birthday to My Sister!!!!
Happy Birthday to my sister! I sent her a WONDERFUL present, but I’m not sure if her little toddler boss will let her open it right away. So I am creating another present that she can read on her phone with one hand while holding a little hand.

Happy Monday! Yesterday was my Mom’s birthday and we did a river tour of the city and then dinner in the cool little cocktail bar across from their new condo. And today is my sister’s birthday and, as usual, she will be doing whatever the little toddler dictator orders her to do (“Mommy UP! Mommy, CAH! Mommy STROLLER! Mommy More Milk!”).

What a RIDICULOUS movie! Which knew perfectly well it was ridiculous. If you can’t handle tension and twists and thrillers, read this review to just know the basics of what happened and talk about it with us. Or if you saw it and have Thoughts, you can read my summary and my thoughts and then we can talk!
Continue readingHaseena Dillruba Review (No Spoilers): The Funnest Kind of Sexy Trash
Super fun movie! If you like black comedy and thriller twists, you will like this. It’s also a lot lighter than you might thing, the tone never shifts into depression and misery, it’s all just mystery and surprises and ridiculousness. On the other hand, if you don’t like twists and black comedy, maybe not.
Continue readingSaturday Morning WatchAlong: Aan! For Dilip Sahib!!!! 8:30am Chicago Time!
Woot, Aan! It’s on Einthusan and for rent on Prime, both the same length (so far as I can tell), so should be equal. And it is soooooooo fun. Silly fairy tale adventure romance with bandits and princesses and everything.

Well, that was a hot miserable depressing day! You know how you buy a house and go “oh it’s PERFECT!” and then you actually take possession and go “I hate this sink”? We had a lot of that yesterday. Walls are dingy, sink is ugly, my friend hates her bathroom tile, and all the plaster in the front wall of the living room has to be replaced. I went to bed depressed, but I woke up happy!
