Friday WatchAlong: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna! For Shahrukh Month and COATS!!!! 3pm Chicago Time

Happy Friday! I have SUCH a busy day today, everything from getting a skin cancer full body check from a dermatologist (I’m just being pro-active, nothing to worry about. But be proud of me!), to buying boots, to returning a $10 item to Best Buy that is going to take me over an hour to drive there and back. But TEN DOLLARS! Anyway, wait for my “And Play” comment this week, just in case I am running a little late.

Shahrukh Month: Share Your Favorite Shahrukh Pictures Here!!!!!

Happy Shahrukh Month!!! Quick update, Aryan has been moved from custody of the NCB drugs branch to the regular judicial branch. This is a good thing, the NCB was pushing to hold him indefinitely without charges or bail. The judicial branch opens up new bail possibilities. As an American, this is very weird to me just because one of our biggest things is the “can’t be held without charges” laws. Our justice system is broken too, but you would have to dig up SOME kind of charge at this point to be able to keep the kid in jail, not just “investigation and interrogation”.

Shahrukh Update, An Army of Love

Again, this is a place for us to feel sad together. But not pessimistic, not hopeless, not angry. Just sad and full of love. I don’t know about you, but I find that letting everything come from a place of love is all that can get me through tough times. And yes, for SRK fans, this is a tough time and this is a place where we can acknowledge that.

Wednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to the Day Before I GO ON VACATION!?!?!

Happy Wednesday! I get two days off work starting tomorrow! Why? No reason! I just blocked myself for a couple mental health days. Which I will be spending at doctor’s appointments because I HATE taking time off work to go to the doctor so I would rather take time off vacation.

We Are All Sad Today, and That is Okay

This is a Happy Place, and it will stay a Happy Place. For my own mental health, and that of the people who come here, we will resist negativity. But resisting negativity doesn’t mean resisting sadness. We can be sad, together, and acknowledge that we are feeling sad. And then we can, together, comfort and cheer each other. Choose to make this a place of peace, safety, and love.

Monday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on a Bleak Monday?

Happy (?) Monday! As long time readers know, I really really struggle with SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Right now, daylight savings hasn’t ended so I am waking up in the dark, and in Chicago it’s been overcast for two days now and looking to stay that way. So I am BLEAK. Better since coffee and vitamin D pill and walking the dog, but still pretty bleak. Ask me happy things!

Friday WatchAlong: SHAHRUKH MONTH!!!!!! Yes Boss To Start Us Off! 3:30pm Chicago Time!!!!

SHAHRUKH MONTH!!!! I am SO ready for it this year!!!!! Starts tomorrow, I don’t even know for sure what I am going to be doing, but I know inspiration will come upon me and it will be MAGNIFICENT. Also, usually I say “don’t worry, there will be non-SRK content too”. This month, I MAKE NO SUCH COMMITMENT!!! DCIB could very well become an all-SRK/all the time sort of place for the next 30 days. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to read it 🙂
